OBJECTIVE Water volumetry is considered the "gold standard" for hand edema assessment. This technique requires considerable time, staff, and specialized equipment. The figure-of-eight method for hand edema assessment has been tested only in the orthopedic population. The objective of this study was to test the reliability and concurrent validity of the figure-of-eight method of measuring hand e...

This paper inspect the trouble in recognition of exercise and also discover the burned calories after exercise. Our topic and motive of research to detect a problem, how walking, jogging and running effect on the human body using personalize algorithms. Pedometer is a device which is used to count the step while walking. This device may be used as a hardware device which attached with the body ...

We report two cases of severe cytomegalovirus (CMV) primoinfection in seriously burned patients. The infection may have contributed to both patients' fatal outcome. This underlines the importance of research in viral aetiology, especially with regard to CMV, when immunodeficient patients - as burn patients are - develop unexplained fever. We propose a monitoring and a prevention strategy for CM...

manure and putreseible garbage are some of the main sources of pathogenic germs in countryside’s. on the other hand, demand for fertilizer and energy increases in rural areas every day. to study potential of cow manure for these requirements a 16,5m3 pilot plant was designed and constructed as fermentation tank near animal husbandry of karaj agriculture faculty. some 260kg cow manure and water ...

Smoke from residential wood burning has been identified as a major contributor to air pollution, motivating detailed emission measurements under controlled conditions. A series of experiments were performed to compare the emission levels from two types of wood-stoves to those of fireplaces. Eight types of biomass were burned in the laboratory: wood from seven species of trees grown in the Portu...

In this paper, a new physics-based model for the prediction of NOx emissions produced by diesel engines is presented. The aim of this work is to provide a Mean-Value Model (MVM) adapted for control design and online estimation. The proposed approach is based on the simplification of a zero-dimensional thermodynamic model. Only the main phenomena taking part in NOx formation are kept and they ar...

Wildfires are burning increasingly extensive areas of forest in Canada, reducing their capacity as carbon sinks. Here we compare the answers that four independent land cover datasets, produced from different satellite images (SPOT, Landsat, and MODIS), provide for the question of what burned in Canada in recent years. We harmonized the different datasets into a common, simpler legend consisting...

BACKGROUND Given the contention that survival is to be expected from even the most severely burned child, then, intuitively, at least some pediatric burn victims die because of suboptimal care. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of any adverse events that may have contributed to the death of burned children. METHODS Four surgeons with specialty training in pediatric burn care r...

this study was conducted to determine the causes and outcomes of burn in patients referred to shahid mohammadi hospital in bandar abbass, southern iran, in which 212 burned patients were assessed from march 2007 to march 2008 .mean age of patients was 22.14 yr. heat contact was the main cause of burn with 92.5%. 49.1% of total burns occurred among less than 20 yr old people. mortality rate was ...

1 This paper presents a new burned area product for the tropical 2 forests in South America and South-east Asia. The product is derived 3 from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) mul4 tispectral surface reflectance data and Active Fire hotspots using a 5 novel rare class detection framework that builds data-adaptive clas6 sification models for different spatial regions and lan...
