A case is reported of cardiac arrest in a young man after an armoured vehicle rollover accident. The proposed mechanism of death is myocardial sensitisation to endogenous catecholamines after exposure to petroleum fuel.

BACKGROUND Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is one of the most common knee disorders among physically active young women. Despite its high incidence, the multifactorial etiology of this disorder is not fully understood. OBJECTIVES To investigate the influence of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome on plantar pressure distribution during the foot rollover process (i.e., the initial heel contact, midstanc...

In this paper we present a robust controller design methodology for vehicle rollover prevention utilizing active steering. Control design is based on keeping the magnitude of the vehicle load transfer ratio (LTR) below a certain level in the presence of driver steering inputs; we also develop an exact expression for LTR. The proposed controllers have a proportional-integral structure whose gain...

When an insurance company sells a mutual fund with death and maturity guarantees to its client, it may consider allowing the client to extend the guarantee for some more years. If the renewal only happens once, a so-called rollover option is implied in the contract. In this paper, we show how the generalized Bermudan option can be applied to the special case of the rollover option. By avoiding ...

A weighted logistic regression with careful selection of crash, vehicle, occupant and injury data and sequentially adjusting the covariants, was used to investigate the predictors of the odds of head/face and neck (HFN) injuries during rollovers. The results show that unbelted occupants have statistically significant higher HFN injury risks than belted occupants. Age, number of quarter-turns, r...

In this paper we describe a new, multi-graph approach for development of a comprehensive set of complexity management techniques for interactive graph visualization tools. This framework facilitates efficient implementation of management of multiple associated graphs with navigation links and nesting of graphs as well as ghosting, folding and hiding of unwanted graph elements. The theoretical a...

In an attempt to understand the relationship between quasi-static and dynamic test results, repeatable, dynamic rollover tests were conducted on production vehicles to determine intrusion and intrusion velocities using the Jordan Rollover System (JRS). These tests included complete production vehicles and body bucks at reduced weight, to vary the roof strength-to-weight ratio. Data from these t...
