trauma during pregnancy is remarkably common, motor vehicle crashes are cause of hospitalized trauma during pregnancy. trauma occurs in 5% of pregnancies that appropriate high proportion of maternal and fetal mortality. motor vehicle crashes, falls, assaults, including domestic violence, are all important mechanisms of injury. motor vehicle accidents account for more than 50% of all traumas dur...

a spinal cord injury (sci) refers to any injury to the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal that is caused by trauma instead of disease often causes permanent changes in strength, sensation and other body functions below the site of the injury. road traffic collision (rtc) or car crash occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other...

the present paper explores the impact of an on-board hydrogen harvesting system (fuel reformer) on the overall efficiency of a fuel-cell powered vehicle. various methods of hydrogen production for automotive applications have been discussed first. as the hydrogen production is one of the major challenges for application of proton exchange membrane (pem) fuel cells, especially in vehicular indus...

this paper proposes a novel decision making framework for an electricity retailer to procure its electric demand in a bilateral-pool market in presence of charging and discharging of electric vehicles (evs). the operational framework is a two-stage programming model in which at the first stage, the retailer and ev aggregator do their medium-term planning. determination of retailer's optimum sel...

Vehicle Authentication. In recent future, vehicles will establish a spontaneous connection over a wireless radio channel, coordinating actions and information. Vehicles will exchange warning messages over the wireless radio channel through Dedicated Short Range Communication (IEEE 1609) over the Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (802.11p). Unfortunately, the wireless communication among ...

Laboratories throughout the world are rapidly gaining atomically precise control over matter. As this control extends to an ever wider variety of materials, processes and devices, opportunities for applications relevant to NASA's missions will be created. This document surveys a number of future molecular nanotechnology capabilities of aerospace interest. Computer applications, launch vehicle i...

The mid-infrared (mid-IR) region, covering the electromagnetic spectrum from about 2.5 to 25 ┤m wavelength, is of unique interest for many applications, especially for molecular spectroscopy, because the vibrational frequencies of almost all target molecules and hydrocarbons are in this spectral region, such as NO, NO2, CO, CO2, HF, and CH4. The specific application areas for molecular spectros...

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most prominent catechin in green tea. EGCG has been shown to modulate numerous molecular targets in the setting of inflammation and cancer. These molecular targets have also been demonstrated to be important participants in reperfusion injury, hence this study examines the effects of EGCG in myocardial reperfusion injury. Male Wistar rats were subjected ...
