Standing crib supports have been applied in underground mining programs to resist large roof movements and sustain highloads. The strength and deformation capability of these systems has been documented under both laboratory and field conditions. The parameter that has not been examined and is not well understood is the effect that a crib or other types of standing support has on the primary an...

OBJECTIVE Assess maternal psychological functioning within the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and its contribution to neonate length of stay (LOS) in the NICU. STUDY DESIGN Mothers of infants admitted to the NICU (n=111) were assessed regarding postpartum depression, postpartum social support, postpartum NICU stress, and maternal anxiety at 2 weeks postpartum.

Abstract Characterising the risk of fire spread in informal settlements relies on ability to understand compartment fires with boundary conditions that are significantly different normal residential compartments. Informal settlement dwellings frequently have thermally thin and leaky boundaries. Due unique design these compartments, detailed experimental studies were conducted their dynamics. Th...

Fire spread between informal settlement dwellings (ISD) is a primary concern for large scale settlements conflagrations. Globally, approximately one billion people live in and are exposed to these fires. This paper presents fire experiment two dwellings, built with ISO 9705 dimension as an approximation of ISD separated by 1 m. The development mechanisms within the ISDs were investigated benchm...

at Bletchley Park, north of London, where it had been moved from Whitehall as a safety precaution, to participate in the project code-named "Ultra," with the objective of decrypting radio trans¬ missions generated and read by an electromechanical device, "Enig¬ ma," comprising five rotors and a plugboard of such baffling sophistication and complexity (there were 1.3X1012 plugboard combinations ...

BACKGROUND Despite American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations, many hospitalized infants are not observed in the appropriate safe sleep environment. Caregivers tend to model sleep patterns observed in a hospital setting. This project assessed the change in infant safe sleep practices within 6 children's hospitals after the implementation of a statewide quality improvement program. M...

The most essential commodity for the prosecution of the war was people-people to fight the war, people to produce war material, and people to whom critical material had to be diverted for the production of essential civilian goods. Thus, it was important to have current knowledge, and in many cases a future picture, of the population, its composition and distribution as well as the forces affec...

OBJECTIVE Accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed, a subgroup of sudden, unexpected infant deaths, is a leading mechanism of injury-related infant deaths. We explored trends and characteristics of these potentially preventable deaths. METHODS In this descriptive study, we analyzed US infant mortality data from 1984 through 2004. To explore trends in accidental suffocation and strangul...
