Rollover is one of the most dangerous events in driving Vehicles, specially the Sport Utility ones. This maneuver is the main reason for the majority of human and financial loss in transportation systems. The upcoming paper outlines the details as well as the plus points of a Fuzzy Logic Controller which is designed and simulated to reduce the rollover propensity of Vehicles, specially the ones...

Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) are a class of rare, high-energy galactic transients that have episodes of short (∼ 0.1 sec), soft (∼ 30 keV), intense (∼ 100 Crab), gamma-ray bursts. We report an analysis of the x-ray emission from 95 SGR1806-20 events observed by the International Cometary Explorer. The spectral shape remains remarkably constant for bursts that differ in intensity by a range of 50...

Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS) are safety devices fitted to heavy vehicles to provide protection to the operator during an accidental roll over. At present, ROPS design standards require full scale destructive testing which can be expensive, time consuming and unsuitable for small companies. More economical analytical methods are not permitted due to a lack of understanding on post yiel...

BACKGROUND Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating event that results in permanent disability for injured children. Among all etiologies of SCI, motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are the leading cause and account for 29% of all traumatic SCIs in children. We tried to evaluate types and mechanisms of MVC-related spinal column and spinal cord injuries, risk factors, safety issues and legislation. ...
