Objective The Florida Department of Health (FDOH), Bureau of Epidemiology, partnered with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) to improve surveillance methods in post disaster or response events. A new process was implemented for conducting surveillance to monitor injury and illness for those presenting for...

Some of the things we measure are determined simply by their magnitudes. To record mass, length, or time, for example, we need only write down a number and name an appropriate unit of measure. We need more information to describe a force, displacement, or velocity. To describe a force, we need to record the direction in which it acts as well as how large it is. To describe a body’s displacement...

Low transmission of heat is one of the major problems for heat exchanger fluids in many industrial and scientific applications. This includes cooling of the engines, high power transformers to heat exchangers in solar hot water panels or in refrigeration systems. In order to tackle these problems in thermal industries, nanofluids could play a significant role as excellent heat exchanger materia...

Proton radiography has proved increasingly successful as a diagnostic for electric and magnetic fields in high energy density physics experiments. Most experiments use target-normal-sheath-acceleration sources with wide range the proton beam, velocity spread can help differentiate between provide time histories single shot. However, magnetised plasma strong background fields, broadband spectrum...

In the present research, in contrast to the available papers, not only the superelasticity but also the shape memory effects are taken into account in determination of the impact responses. At the same time, in addition to modifying Brinson’s model for the shape memory alloys (SMAs), to include new parameters and loading events, and Hertz contact law, distributions of the SMA phases are conside...

Effect of V2 Accent on relationships (a) between duration and displacement/velocity ratio, and (b) between peak velocity and displacement for /i/-to-/a/ tongue lowering gestures in the y dimension.. Figure 6.6. Effect of V2 Accent on relationships (a) between duration and displacement/velocity ratio, and (b) between peak velocity and displacement for /a/-to-/i/ tongue fronting gestures in the x...

An equivalent static method is employed in calculating the impact response of vessel-bridge collisions, which dynamic characteristics collisions are ignored. spectrum for design proposed according to principle earthquake spectrum. The force time-histories obtained through a numerical simulation using finite element software. relationship between displacement amplification factor single-degree-o...

The countermovement jump (CMJ) is commonly used to explore sex differences in neuromuscular function, but previous studies have only reported gross CMJ measures or have partly examined CMJ phase characteristics. The purpose of this study was to explore differences in CMJ phase characteristics between male and female athletes by comparing the force-, power-, velocity-, and displacement-time curv...

This paper investigates the induced stresses in circular single deck roofs floating on seismically excited storage tanks. Equations of motion are derived using variational principle. Response of deck floating roofs is evaluated for two different classes of ground motions; near-source and long-period far-field records. Besides time histories and frequency contents for a specific tank, peak value...
