Basic Eye Part Collision Experiments against Sharp Mechanical Hazards for Severity Investigation

Large Scale Experiments Data Analysis for Estimation of Hydrodynamic Force Coefficients Part 1: Time Domain Analysis

This paper describes various time-domain methods useful for analyzing the experimental data obtained from a circular cylinder force in terms of both wave and current for estimation of the drag and inertia coefficients applicable to the Morison’s equation. An additional approach, weighted least squares method is also introduced. A set of data obtained from experiments on heavily roughened circul...

Safeguarding against heat hazards.

Heat stress occurs when the body cannot release heat and cool itself. When the air temperature is as warm as or warmer than a person's skin, blood brought to the skin's surface cannot efficiently release heat. Working hard in high heat impedes the body's ability to cool itself because the muscles need extra blood, thus decreasing the amount of blood available to circulate to the skin and intern...

Investigation of physical resilience of suburban housing against natural hazards (Case study: Bahonar town of Mashhad)

Background and objective: Today, most cities and residential communities are built in places that are exposed to a variety of disasters, such as natural and man-made hazards. Therefore, paying attention to the physical dimensions of residential structures in suburban areas has become very important. The study area is Bahonar town of Mashhad, which is a separate area from district 6 with a popul...

Age and Stroke Severity: Hazards for Intravenous Thrombolysis?

Hazards of a traditional eye-cosmetic--SURMA.

Surma is a traditional eye cosmetic and eye-cure of the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent. It is made from antimony suiphide and may contain lead as an accidental impurity remaining in antimony suiphide or as an intentional adulterant. Ingestion of lead through constant use of surma can pose a serious health hazard. This study is an attempt to assess the lead content of surma in forty separate samples...
