In Belgium, traffic safety is currently one of the government’s highest priorities. Identifying and profiling black spots and black zones in terms of accident related data and location characteristics must provide new insights into the complexity and causes of road accidents which, in turn, provide valuable input for government actions. In this paper, association rules are used to identify acci...

W ith the advent of the automobile as a mode of transportation late in the nineteenth century, a new phenomenon, the motor vehicle acci­ dent, appeared on the American scene. While the motor vehicle was in its early stages of development, the problem was not serious. How­ ever, as the volume of cars on the highways increased, the number of accidents increased also; the problem began to assume g...

On 15 July 2021, accident occurred at site 1.16 km away from tunnel entrance, resulting 14 casualties. The purpose this study is to investigate and discuss process atypical case. principal causes tunneling include special geological conditions site, high hydraulic co...

For the thick alluvium and thin bedrock coal seam mining in East China, it is easy to produce water by pressing frame. Taking engineering geological conditions of 1611 (3) working face Zhangji Coal Mine Huainan Mining Group as research background, breaking law with was studied using a similar material physical simulation experiment theoretical analysis. It revealed that under load transfer loos...

Located in northeastern Algeria, the region of Constantinois is undoubtedly among regions most affected by various risks related to rail networks. These phenomena are one major development issues and a permanent threat population existing facilities. The associated with field transport several parameters such as soft geological formations, steep slopes, hydrographic network, seismic frame mainl...

----Every day around the world, a large percentage of people die from traffic accident injuries. An effective approach for reducing traffic fatalities is: first building automatic traffic accident detection system, second, reducing the time between when an accident occurs and when first emergency responders are dispatched to the scene of the accident. Recent approaches are using built-in vehicl...

Inclusive in the engineering factors of growth of the economy of any country is the construction industry, of which Malaysia as a nation is not left out. In spite of its significant contribution, the industry is known to be an accident-prone consequent upon the dangerous activities taking place at the construction stage. However, occupational accidents of diverse categories do take place on the...

PURPOSE Vertebral compression fractures are the most common fractures in the elderly. Long lasting pain and deformity is responsible for consecutive impairment with markedly reduced life quality, increased morbidity and mortality. The beneficial effects of balloon kyphoplasty are verified in many studies. Subsequent fracture risk is not finally clarified, cement related risks and deformity rela...

Several organisms exploit the extraordinary physical properties of amyloid fibrils forming natural protective amyloids, in an effort to support complex biological functions. Curli amyloid fibers are a major component of mature biofilms, which are produced by many Enterobacteriaceae species and are responsible, among other functions, for the initial adhesion of bacteria to surfaces or cells. The...
