Fatalities resulting from sharp force injuries may be of accidental, homicidal or suicidal origin. Cut-throat and cut-stab wounds are “effective” in homicidal attacks with sharp objects, e. g. knifes, while accidental injuries in this topographic region caused by sharp objects are rarely seen and most often caused by broken glass. Self-inflicted cut throat and stab wounds are uncommon but never...

The debate on vector versus raster based models is nearly as old as the concept of a GIS (Dutton 1979). It was restated as a debate between GIS with an object concept (not to be confused with object-oriented as used in software engineering; (Worboys 1994) uses the term object based GIS, where objects have sharp boundaries delimited by vectors and the GIS which model the continuous variation of ...

Sharp bounds are obtained, under a variety of assumptions on the eigenvalues of the Einstein tensor, for the ratio of the Hawking mass to the areal radius in static, spherically symmetric space-times.

Child abuse, malicious and deliberate intention of harming or killing a child, is well-documented in history and is more hideous in infants due to their disability to communicate and defend, making them more susceptible victims for such a crime. Embedding sewing needle(s) into brain through natural openings and soft parts of the cranium has been reported for infanticide purpose (1). The relativ...

Discretized Marching Cubes (DMC) is a standard method in computer graphics and visualization for constructing 3D surfaces in data represented on a regular grid. After thresholding, it builds high-resolution surfaces by tiling surface patches halfway between objects and background in the data. This paper shows that if surfaces are built locally, in a high-resolution sub-grid of a cell instead of...

Attacking agility actions, such as side steps, shuffle crossover cutting, split spins, decelerations, and sharp turns, are important maneuvers in invasion team sports, often linked with decisive match winning moments. Generally, the aims of these actions to (a) evade create separation from an opponent, (b) generate high exit velocities momentums, or (c) facilitate a redirection. However, also i...

Objective: Traumatic spine injuries are seriously important and are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. The goal of this study is to determine the epidemiology of the traumatic spine injuries in Shahid Beheshti Hospital of Kashan University of Medical Sciences (KAUMS), the main trauma center in Kashan, Iran.Methods: This cross-sectional study was undertaken on all cases ...

Injury is the leading cause of death among children and adolescents, with about 10% injuries being penetrating. Penetrating that occur if a child falls or sits down on long, sharp object are rare by their mechanism. So far we have experience in treating 5 penetrating to abdominal organs involving long objects. 3 were injured falling metal fence, other 2 sitting pin scythe. The consequences dama...
