since the 1960 child safety systems in cars have been developed. the 3 point safety belt for adults rated as one of the 10 most important inventions for mankind, the seat belt has saved more than 1.5 million lives. as well children have to be secured in a car but the 3 point belt is designed for adults. a 27 kg child is forced forward with 1.200 kg at 48 kph impact velocity. here vulnerable bod...

Despite the proven effectiveness of seat belt use in reducing injury severity in road traffic accidents, a large number of car occupants do not use a seat belt in Turkey. The main aim of the present study was to explain self-reported seat belt use among front seat passengers with the basic and extended (habit, moral norm and anticipated regret added) theory of planned behavior (TPB) model and t...

OBJECTIVE To increase seat belt restraint use in Guangzhou City, People's Republic of China. DESIGN Comparison group pre-test, post-test design. SETTING Guangzhou City. INTERVENTIONS Interventions to increase the prevalence of seat belt use in high-income countries (enhanced training and enforcement practices along with raising of public awareness) were adapted and implemented in Guangzho...

A novel type of flexible [Fe3O4/PANI/PMMA]@{[Eu(BA)3phen + Tb(BA)3phen]/PMMA} (PMMA = polymethyl methacrylate, BA = benzoic acid, phen = phenanthroline, PANI = polyaniline) belt-shaped coaxial microcable possessing electrical conductivity, magnetism and color-tunable photoluminescence has been successfully fabricated by electrospinning technology using a specially designed coaxial spinneret. Ev...

BACKGROUND Increasing seat belt use represents an ideal opportunity for preventive health care in family practice. Little evidence exists, however, that primary care physicians can increase safety belt use. METHODS Three hundred twenty-six patients seen in a rural primary care center were randomized to either a control or intervention group. Before their health care examination, patients comp...

This study investigates the Peltzman effects in adopting mandatory seat belt laws in the US. According to the Peltzman offsetting effect theory, seat belt laws make drivers feel more secure and drive more aggressively, which could cause additional crashes and fatalities. A set of panel data containing 50 US states and the District of Columbia for the years from 1983 to 1997 are analyzed using s...

(paper pages 133-156) zagros active fold-thrust belt lies on the northern margin of the arabian continental crust it is a young fold-thrust mountain belt currently shortening, thickening and uplifting as a result of the collision of the arabian and iranian plates. rethickening of crust during collisional orogenies could have been carried out by reversal of fault motion along the mesozoic normal...

The molecular mechanisms of how primordial adherens junctions (AJs) evolve into spatially separated belt-like AJs and tight junctions (TJs) during epithelial polarization are not well understood. Previously, we reported the establishment of ZO-1/ZO-2-deficient cultured epithelial cells (1[ko]/2[kd] cells), which lacked TJs completely. In the present study, we found that the formation of belt-li...

We consider a belt of small bodies (planetesimals, asteroids, dust particles) around a star, captured in one of the external or 1:1 mean-motion resonances with a massive perturber (protoplanet, planet). The objects in the belt collide with each other. Combining methods of celestial mechanics and statistical physics, we calculate mean collisional velocities and collisional rates, averaged over t...

OBJECTIVE The present study investigated the effect of a back belt on reach actions. SUBJECTS Sixteen undergraduate college students (8 male students, 8 female students) ranging in age from 18 to 22 years. Thirteen subjects were included in the final analysis. SETTING The Department of Psychology at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio METHODS Using a well-established set of procedures develope...
