In 1996, the European Enhanced Vehicle Safety Committee, Working Group 17 (EEVC WG17) proposed a set of impact procedures to evaluate the pedestrian injury risk of vehicle fronts. These procedures address three aspects of pedestrian protection head impacts, lower limb impacts, and thigh impacts through vehicle subsystem tests. The criteria assessed during these impact tests are affected by the ...

Based on new millimeter and radio observations, we reevaluate the total hydrogen column density along the line of sight to the microquasar GRS 1915+105 to NH = (3.5 ± 0.3) × 10 22 cm −2. Our value is consistent with the one derived from X-ray measurements, namely (3.8 ± 0.3) × 10 22 cm −2 (Ebisawa et al. 1998). Using the empirical law between the visual extinction and the total column density o...

8. Confirm that someone or yourself call the police (and other emergency personnel if necessary). If there has been no response after five (5) minutes call again. Some police jurisdictions refuse to respond to minor "fender benders" when there are no injuries or totaled vehicles. Call the police anyway.
