Head injury is one of the most important types of injury and is responsible for most of the deaths due to trauma. Low-income and middle-income countries face with more risk factors, but they still lack adequate health-care capacity to deal with complications. Trauma literally means the damage and injury, and head injury was defined as physical damage to the brain or skull caused by external for...

We investigate decaying D-branes as the origin of the thermal string gas of string gas cosmology. We consider initial configurations of low-dimensional branes and argue that they can time evolve to thermal string gas. We find that there is a range in the weak string coupling and fast brane decay time regimes, where the initial configuration could drive the evolution of the dilaton to values, wh...

BACKGROUND We analysed whether a combination of bone- and fall-related risk factors (RFs) in addition to a recent non-vertebral fracture (NVF) contributed to subsequent NVF risk and mortality during 2-years in patients who were offered fall and fracture prevention according to Dutch fracture- and fall-prevention guidelines. METHODS 834 consecutive patients aged ≥50 years with a recent NVF who...

OBJECTIVE Falls and fall-related injuries are leading problems in residential aged care facilities. The objective of this study was to provide descriptive data about falls in nursing homes. DESIGN/SETTING/PARTICIPANTS Prospective recording of all falls over 1 year covering all residents from 528 nursing homes in Bavaria, Germany. MEASUREMENTS Falls were reported on a standardized form that ...

This paper presents a system with real-time classification of human movements based on smartphone mounted on the waist. The built-in tri-accelerometer was utilized to collect the information of body motion. At the same time, the smartphone is able to classify the data for activity recognition. By our algorithm, body motion can be classified into five different patterns: vertical activity, lying...

In the current study we investigated whether 12-month-old infants gesture appropriately for knowledgeable versus ignorant partners, in order to provide them with needed information. In two experiments we found that in response to a searching adult, 12-month-olds pointed more often to an object whose location the adult did not know and thus needed information to find (she had not seen it fall do...

Consider a globally hyperbolic cosmological spacetime. Topologically, the spacetime is then a compact 3-manifold in cartesian product with an interval. Assuming that there is an expanding direction, is there any relation between the topology of the 3-manifold and the asymptotics? In fact, there is a result by Michael Anderson, where he obtains relations between the long-time evolution in Genera...
