This report describes a Bayesian method for estimating accident rates at individual sites, which takes into account the fact that the total traffic count usually used to measure exposure is generally not known with certainty. The first step involves deriving an approximation for the probability distribution of total traffic conditioned on a short count sample. This approximation is then used to...

the eyes are organs that detect light and convert it into electro-chemical impulses in neurons. visual perception is the ability to interpret information and surroundings from the effects of visible light reaching the eye. medicine recognizes that altitudes above 1500 meters start to affect humans so that, the eye is very sensitive to restriction of its supply of oxygen. a dimming of vision acc...

spinal cord injury (sci)-induced systemic inflammatory response affects multiple organs outside the spi­nal cord. treatment options for such complications are lacking. valproic acid (vpa) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor, acting directly at the level of gene transcription by inhibiting histone deacetylation and making transcription sites more accessible. acetylation of histones is critical to...

conclusions tram tracks on public roads are potentially dangerous and can lead to serious injuries and even mortality amongst cyclist. operative intervention is frequently needed. background in cities with trams as public transportation, tram tracks are often on public roads, creating a shared road situation with other road participants like cyclists. beside the risk of direct collisions, this ...

A new database system was developed by integrating the license data of all drivers in Japan (80 million drivers) with 11 million road traffic accident data from the year 1995 to 2007 and 130 million road traffic violation data from the year 1993 to 2007 to study the relation between accident/violation experience and accident rates.
