Previous blast injury prediction criteria have been based on exposure to classic Friedlander or ideal blast waves. An ideal waveform is characterized by an instantaneous rise to a peak overpressure that decays exponentially to ambient pressure followed by a negative phase. The prediction criteria did not address injuries resulting from exposure to complex blast waves. It was difficult to establ...

developed their genocidal methods, inventing and refining the techniques of transportation, selection and gassing, and the schemes of subterfuge used to hide these atrocities from relatives and potential pockets of opposition. To demonstrate the "intimate connections" between these two programmes, Friedlander chronicles the various stages in the Nazi campaigns against their most helpless victim...

The Friedlander{Milnor Conjecture 1] asserts that if G is a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed eld k, then the comparison map H et (BG k ; Z=p) ?! H (BG; Z=p) is an isomorphism for all primes p not equal to the characteristic of k. Gabber's rigidity theorem 2] implies that this map is indeed an isomorphism for the stable general linear group GL (this is due to Suslin 6], als...

In the above correspondence (Y. Jin and B. Friedlander, “Detection of distributed sources using sensor arrays,” IEEE Trans. Signal Process., vol. 52, no. 6, pp. 1537–1548, June 2004), Jin and Friedlander develop a GLR-based detector for detecting a random spatially distributed signal source using an array of sensors. We show that the expression for required SNR (RSNR) has been incorrectly deriv...
