A total of 34 dynamic matched frontal sled tests were performed, 17 low (2.5g, Δv=4.8kph) and 17 medium (5.0g, Δv=9.7kph), with five male human volunteers of approximately 50th percentile height and weight, a Hybrid III 50th percentile male ATD, and three male PMHS. Each volunteer was exposed to two impulses at each severity, one relaxed and one braced prior to the impulse. A total of four test...

The impact of alcohol (ethanol) on resting energy expenditure of male non-obese volunteers was determined in two studies. In the first study the thermic effect of alcohol on resting metabolic rate (RMR) was assessed in ten male non-obese volunteers. In the second study the impact of alcohol on diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) was determined in twelve male non-obese volunteers. Energy expenditur...

INTRODUCTION The V-Quick patch template system is compared with the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition technique in this paper. The objectives of the study were: (a) to study and compare the time taken to produce the printed 12-lead ECG and (b) to look at the level of agreement when the ECGs were compared by two blinded, independent assessors. METHODS One hundred and fifty e...
