Cardiac arrhythmias are a common cause of sudden death. ECG monitoring should be established as soon as possible for all patients who collapse suddenly or have symptoms of coronary ischemia or infarction. To avoid delay, apply adhesive electrodes with a conventional or automated external defibrillator (AED) or use the “quick-look” paddles feature on conventional defibrillators. For patients wit...

Accidental hypothermia is an acute medical emergency with a high mortality rate. Physiologic derangements include hypoxemia, hypotension, acidosis, and arrhythmias. Management consists of careful monitoring rewarming, vigorous supportive care, and treatment of underlying and complicating disorders. Active core rewarming is recommended for hypothermia with associated cardiovascular insufficiency...

The topology in wireless multi-hop networks can change frequently due to characteristics of the shared medium, mobility of the users, or miss-behaving and malicious nodes. Frequent topology changes typically lead to inconsistencies in the network topology since routing protocols can only cope with certain topology change rate. These incidents may even lead to a temporary collapse of the network...

The thermodynamics of the rapid vaporization of a liquid on a solid surface heated by an excimer laser pulse is studied experimentally. The transient temperature field is measured by monitoring the photothermal reflectance of an embedded thin film in nanosecond time resolution. The transient reflectivity is calibrated by considering a temperature gradient across the sample based on the static m...

This work presents an approach for generating video evidence of dangerous situations in crowded scenes. The scenarios of interest are those with high safety risk such as blocked exit, collapse of a person in the crowd, and escape panic. Real visual evidence for these scenarios is rare or unsafe to reproduce in a controllable way. Thus there is a need for simulation to allow training and validat...
