Fatal hydrogen sulphide poisoning usually occurs in confined spaces. We report two fatal accidents in unconfined spaces. The first accident caused the death of three workers who entered an unconfined room in a silo of sludge at the same time that a truck dumped several tons of sludge from water purification stations. The hydrogen sulphide that had accumulated inside the silo spilled out into th...

Forensic science is increasingly relied on by police and the courts to exonerate the innocent and to establish links to crime. With this increased reliance the potential for unjust outcomes increases, especially in serious matters for two reasons. The more serious the matter, the more likely that evidence mishandling can lead to wrongful imprisonment, and the more likely the personnel involved ...

A full-term male baby presented at day 2 postnatal with Riedel liver lobe, stomach, and much of the bowel herniating through a thoracic wall defect located just above and lateral to the left nipple. Operative conversion into a gastroschisis-like defect with construction of a silo bag was done. On thorough review of literature, it was found that this is only the second male infant reported with ...

The presence of moisture content in a silo makes the preservation grain stock challenging especially when dealing with large stock. This made it as major concern for engineers to preserve crops grains and avoid huge losses. By installing screw inside silo, problem could be avoided by stirring loaded granular bed alongside aeration, also effective mix different types materials. present work has ...

We study the outflow dynamics and clogging phenomena of mixtures soft, elastic low-friction spherical grains hard frictional spheres similar size in a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) silo with narrow orifice at bottom.
