A parametric study is undertaken to ascertain the sensitivity of the child restraint system (CRS) design, with respect to oblique side impact at standard velocities in consideration of intrusion. A hybrid model is constructed using a combination of both finite elements and multi-body ellipsoids where a three-year-old Hybrid III child dummy is place

The effects of bullet vehicle crash impact angle, child restraint system design, and restraint harness slack at side impact speed of 32.2 km/h (20mph) on moments sustained at the neck by a three-year-old child are investigated. Mathematical models are built using the response surface method based on simulation results whereby good fitness is achiev

Background: Hindquarter amputation, the removal of the entire lower limb along with the ipsilateral pelvic bone, is reserved for malignant or aggressive tumours located in the proximal lower extremity. With the advancement in limb salvage surgery (LSS), it is reserved for palliative surgery or when LSS is contraindicated. This report aims to review

The effects of bullet vehicle crash impact angle, child restraint system design and restraint harness slack at standard test side impact speed of 24.4 km/h (15 mph) on moments sustained at the neck by a three year old child is investigated. A statistical methodology employing the Design of Experiments is adopted in this study whereby a Latin Hyperc

Recently several of the previously-accepted medical treatments have been questioned by the public. One of the factors highlighted is the uprising of social demands influenced by religious- centred ideation.

The public has questioned many of the previously accepted medical treatments. One of the factors highlighted is the uprising of social demands influenced by religious-centered ideation. Even though medical practitioners are regarded as one of the noble professions in society, their professional opinions are started to be questioned. To complement t

Introduction: Chondrosarcoma is a primary malignant skeletal tumour from cartilaginous differentiation. Surgical resection is the only available treatment in achieving an oncologic clearance since the other adjuvant treatments are ineffective. It is more challenging when the tumour arises from the pelvis. Methodology: Cases of pelvic chondrosarcoma

Introduction: Ewings sarcoma is a rare, malignant neoplasm; rarely originates in the bones of the hand. Historically, treatment involves a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The role of surgical intervention remains limited, depending on the anatomic location. Resection and reconstruction will usually result in reduced or loss of functio

This paper looks at the importance of learning and understanding metaphor among second language learners. It begins with a brief overview of the Sapir-Whorf linguistic relativity theory. It provides further discussion of Lakoff and Johnson (1980), Andrew Goatly (2000) and CharterisBlack’s (2011) framework on conceptual metaphor. Discussion of the
