This paper outlines a feasibility project investigating the potential for smaller, lighter rapid response vehicles (RRVs) in reducing carbon footprint and times of ambulances. Five stakeholder consultations were held with two ambulance trusts, an manufacturer, paramedic Ultra-Light Vehicle Group to generate three novel design concepts RRVs, which then reviewed by four UK feet managers clinician...

The results of experimental studies on the generation x-rays when operating a piezoelectric kitchen lighter in vacuum are presented. For first time, new method for increasing intensity x-ray radiation effect high through use an additional electron emitter is proposed and demonstrated. maximum energy bremsstrahlung reaches 14 keV. This means that electrons accelerated field ceramic to at least

Title of Thesis: CHARACTERIZING CIGARETTE LIGHTER FLAMES TO REDUCE UNWANTED IGNITION Justin Wade Williamson, Master of Sciences, 2003 Thesis Directed By: Professor André W. Marshall Department of Fire Protection Engineering This investigation provides detailed measurements and analysis for improved understanding of ignition from the ‘small’ flames produced by cigarette lighters. This research p...

The majority of foreign bodies ingested pass uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract without endoscopic intervention. Nevertheless, certain ingested objects pose a greater risk for complications and are more challenging to remove than others. This case report describes a 49-year-old male who swallowed a cigarette lighter causing a gastric ulcer. The lighter was successfully removed by f...

Signal of lighter top squark has been looked for using Tevatron data in the dielectron plus di-jet channel. We find that the mass of the lighter top squark when it decays dominantly in the electron plus jet channel, can be ruled out up to 220 GeV at 95% C.L. using di-electron data. In the framework of R-parity breaking SUSY model we exclude relevant R-parity violating couplings for a range of t...
