Preventive and Active Safety Applications [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Road vehicle safety systems can be broadly classified into the two categories of passive and active systems. The aim of passive safety systems is to reduce risk of injury to the occupants of the vehicle during and after an accident like a crash or rollover. Passive safety systems include the design of safety restraints, design for crashworthiness, seat

Cattle-related occupational accidents in Japan

PLOS ONE, 2023
Cattle-related injuries are a significant contributing factor in 84.3% of livestock-related incidents in Hokkaido Japan. The specific countermeasures to respond to its characteristics are needed because cattle move freely. This study examined the JA Kyosai mutual aid payment claim form data of the agricultural work-related incidents that occurred from ...

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.
