Finite element (FE) filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) were developed and mated to the new headforms with a cervical spine model. The FFRs from three manufacturers included three sizing systems: (i) a single one-size-fits all, (ii) an FFR with two sizes (S/M and M/L), and (iii) an FFR with three sizes (S, L/M, XL). Finite element method (FEM) simulations of 16 headform and respirator combin...

Background: Greater sagittal plane energy absorption (EA) in the 100 ms immediatelyfollowing ground contact during landing likely results in greater anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) loading and is the result of the combined EA of the hip, knee, and ankle. Further,greater total EA has been associated with landing biomechanics that are purported toincrease ACL injury risk. Howe...

  According to statistics released by agricultural insurance fund (AIF) less than 4 million acres out of 90 million acres has been covered by Pastures Insurance. This observation along with several facts motivated authors to study possible barriers which Pastures Insurance has been encountered in practice. The research population included all the experts in agricultural insurance fund. Small po...

In many real world problems, data sometimes comes from n agents (n≥2), multipolar information exists. For issues that are associated with uncertainty, this information can not be showed with the values of crisp, fuzzy, intuitionistic or bipolar. Graph is one of the mathematical models widely used in different sciences. Ambiguity in a graph where data depends on the n parameter can not be showed...

Resorcinol, also known as resorcin (1,3-dihydroxybenzene; CAS no. 108-46-3), is an important ingredient of Castellani’s paint solution, an antifungal preparation that is commonly used in daily dermatological clinical practice. Apart from its use in hair dyes, resorcinol is also used in several other topical preparations, because of its antipruritic, keratolytic and antimycotic properties. Sodiu...
