The history of research into individual liability to accidents is long and troubled (Iverson and Erwin1997). Some researchers studied the distribution and risk of accidents, and concluded that various groups of individuals displayed differences in susceptibility to accidents (Peters1989; Bhattacherjee1991). Other investigators sought to characterize the accident-prone individuals either by comp...

Spatial analysis techniques are widely used as an effective approach for prone road traffic accident classification. This paper will present the results of empirical behavioral testing on spatial classification using Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) method. The performance MCDM is compared arterial and collector types processed with multicriteria parameters. was chosen because it can be a d...

Maxillary incisors are the most frequently injured teeth in the primary and permanent dentition. Stage of adolescence show a significant number of dental injuries as they engage in contact sports. Children with accident prone profile, i.e. class II division I or class I type II malocclusion are more prone for injuries because of the proclined maxillary incisors. Supernumerary teeth are those th...

The pipeline spanning is triggered by the unevenness of seabed. cyclic fatigue loadings from subsequent scouring make be prone to failure which can cause loss integrity and even catastrophic accident. However, probabilistic modeling a free subsea challenging task due its dynamic characteristics uncertain information. This paper proposes methodology that could capture uncertainty time dependence...

Road accident prediction plays an important role in accessing and improving the road safety. Besides the conventional generalized linear regression, the prediction approaches based on fuzzy logic and neural networks have increasingly been proven to have a significant accident-predicting capability in recent years. However, fuzzy logic and neural network have their respective limitations. For ex...

Urban road traffic safety has always been vital in transportation research. This paper analyzed the factors influencing degree of accident casualties on Jinan Jingshi Road and its branch roads, taking them as study area for urban problems. Additionally, it used application Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model, recursive feature elimination (RFE) to rank contri...

Located in northeastern Algeria, the region of Constantinois is undoubtedly among regions most affected by various risks related to rail networks. These phenomena are one major development issues and a permanent threat population existing facilities. The associated with field transport several parameters such as soft geological formations, steep slopes, hydrographic network, seismic frame mainl...

Inclusive in the engineering factors of growth of the economy of any country is the construction industry, of which Malaysia as a nation is not left out. In spite of its significant contribution, the industry is known to be an accident-prone consequent upon the dangerous activities taking place at the construction stage. However, occupational accidents of diverse categories do take place on the...

PURPOSE Vertebral compression fractures are the most common fractures in the elderly. Long lasting pain and deformity is responsible for consecutive impairment with markedly reduced life quality, increased morbidity and mortality. The beneficial effects of balloon kyphoplasty are verified in many studies. Subsequent fracture risk is not finally clarified, cement related risks and deformity rela...

Several organisms exploit the extraordinary physical properties of amyloid fibrils forming natural protective amyloids, in an effort to support complex biological functions. Curli amyloid fibers are a major component of mature biofilms, which are produced by many Enterobacteriaceae species and are responsible, among other functions, for the initial adhesion of bacteria to surfaces or cells. The...
