BACKGROUND There is a potential risk of infection with blood-borne viruses if a doctor receives a blood splash to a mucous membrane. The quantification of facial contamination with blood has never been documented in the context of dermatological surgery. OBJECTIVES (i) To identify the number of facial blood splashes that occur during skin surgery and to identify the procedures that present hi...

splash detachment and transport of soil particles by raindrops are the initiating mechanisms of soil erosion by water. the size distribution of splashed particles is very important and effective in the rate of other erosion processes. however, this important issue has been less considered. therefore, the present study investigated individual and interaction effects of slope, rainfall intensity ...

SUMMARY Physically based simulation of 10 meter platform dives from the initial stance of a human diver to the splash at water entry. A dynamic model and control system are used to generate the motion of the diver. The dynamics of incompressible fluids and particle systems are combined to produce the splash.

In this work we present further development of the SpLaSH (Spoken Language Search Hawk) project. SpLaSH implements a data model for annotated speech corpora integrated with textual markup (i.e. POS tagging, syntax, pragmatics) including a toolkit used to perform complex queries across speech and text labels. The integration of time aligned annotations (TMA), represented making use of Annotation...

Background: Accidental splash exposure is one of the common occupational health related problem among health care workers. The problem is worse in developing countries in which the safety practice and protective devices do not properly used. However, little is known on the prevalence and associated factors for splash exposure. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to determine the pre...

General purpose custom computing platforms, such as Splash-2, have demonstrated the ability to enter mainstream computing not only due to their near application-specific speeds but also because of their ability to run a wide variety of tasks. Splash-2 is a second-generation FPGA-based system that can deliver processing performance rivaling application-specific systems, but is also reconfigurabl...
