Road Traffic injuries are known as the most prevalent childhood injury and besides being the greatest cause of child mortality, place an extraordinary burden on health care system. Children’s limitation in cognitive, physical and social development makes them more vulnerable in road traffic injuries than adults. Their small structure cause challenges to see and be seen and their risk taki...

Translating R&D and inventive efforts into a market product is characterized by significant financial skills, and the ability to overcome technical and instititonal barriers. Research into and translation of new technologies such as biotechnology products to the market requires even greater resources. This paper aims to understand the key factors that foster or hinder the complex process of tra...

Over the past decade, the emergence of the `environmental protest' movement has created significant policing challenges for any force unfortunate enough to play `host' to a major road construction project. Once constructed, the Birmingham Northern Relief Road (BNRR) will be the United Kingdom's first `tolled motorway'. The scheme is hugely controversial because its environmental impact on 27 mi...

If environmental quality positively a ects the productivity of labor in R&D and pollution is caused by the use of a non-renewable resource, it is socially optimal to postpone extraction and to intertemporally adjust R&D e ort.

Since highway improvement project selection requires screening thousands of road segments with respect to crashes for further analysis and final project selection, we provide a two-step project selection methodology and describe an application case to demonstrate its advantages. In the first step of the proposed methodology, we will use odds against observing a given crash count, injury count, ...

The average mass density profile measured in the CNOC cluster survey is well described with the analytic form ρ(r) = Ar(r + aρ) , as advocated on the basis on n-body simulations by Navarro, Frenk & White. The predicted core radii are aρ = 0.20 (in units of the radius where the mean interior density is 200 times the critical density) for an Ω = 0.2 open CDM model, or aρ = 0.26 for a flat Ω = 0.2...
