The purpose of this paper is to present the crash exposure patterns of pregnant occupants and to evaluate the effectiveness of restraint systems, including four-point seatbelts, in far side crashes. The NASS CDS database revealed that 53.0 % of pregnant occupants are exposed to frontal crashes while 13.5 % are exposed to far side impacts. Given that far side crashes were the second leading cras...

The Tian Shan is one of the most active intracontinental orogenic belts in world. It has undergone complex deformation that resulted formation several fold-and-thrust (FTBs) piedmonts and intermontane basins. Investigating histories these FTBs important for understanding tectonic propagation processes Shan. Here, we gain insight into crustal shortening by deciphering Houyanshan structure, a typ...

We recovered 12 archival geolocators deployed on Eastern Kingbirds (Tyrannus tyrannus) breeding in New York (NY; n = 3, 2 with years of data), Nebraska (NE; 6, 1 and Oregon (OR; 3) to describe migratory routes, timing rates migration, nonbreeding season distributions, connectedness. NY fall migrants migrated along the Atlantic coast Florida, flew either nonstop across Gulf Mexico (GoM; 3 birds)...

Despite considerable progress in restoring rifted margins, none of the current kinematic models can restore Mesozoic motion Iberian block full agreement with circum-Iberian geology. This conflict requires a revision description at onset divergence. The region has unique geological dataset that allows calibration and testing reconstructions therefore it is an ideal candidate for intracontinental...

Seat belt legislation appears to have reduced mortality from, and the incidence of, serious head and facial injuries due to motor vehicle accidents. The use of seat belts has, however, also modified injury patterns in car occupants involved in accidents. This review traces the introduction of seat belt legislation and delineates the types of injury which have been attributed to seat belt wearing.
