Firearm injuries are the leading cause of death in children older than one year.In a rational world, pediatricians would discuss this topic as part routine health visits, manner which they smoke detectors, motor vehicles, storage prescription drugs, and other less prevalent causes child mortality.Our world is not rational. In some US jurisdictions, authorities have tried to make such conversati...

This paper explores people’s behavior when they are facing financial risks. Through the setting of an economics experiment, people’s willingness to bear financial risks and their tendency to impose risks on others are investigated. The experiment result shows that most people are risk-neutral or risk-averse when making decision under financial environment, and their tendency to impose risks on ...

While much research on adolescent risk behaviour has focused on the development of prefrontal self-regulatory mechanisms, prior studies have elicited mixed evidence of a relationship between individual differences in the capacity for self-regulation and individual differences in risk taking. To explain these inconsistent findings, it has been suggested that the capacity for self-regulation may ...

BACKGROUND Accidents with small arms and munitions during deployment is a significant safety concern for leaders and safety specialists in combat units. Operational stress may lead to forms of unacceptable risk taking with small arms that may underlie some of these accidents. The present research studied the correlation between two dimensions of operational stress, two forms of risk taking with...

Ultra-fast science is an important new research frontier that is driving the development of novel sources for generation of extremely short x-ray and electron pulses. Recent advances in femtosecond lasers have stimulated development of femtosecond x-ray sources that allow the study of matter at the time scale shorter than period of oscillations of atoms in molecules, ∼ 100 fs. The next breakthr...

Introduction Ray reported that the highly amused states of a child as well as a state of deep aesthetic appreciation are characterized by large number of pulses, and increased low frequency waves (theta and specially delta waves) (Ray, 1994). Jovanov introduced hypothetical framework of analysis for the wave patterns in theta, delta and sub-delta bands: mental consciousness for theta band, high...

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is based on the generation of ultrasound waves by heating an object with short light pulses. A three-dimensional image of the distribution of absorbed energy within the object is reconstructed from signals measured around the object with either point-like or extended, linear sensors. Limited angle artefacts arise when the curve or surface connecting neighbouring d...
