Epidemiology of Burn-Related Morbidity and Mortality in Patients Over 80 Years of Age [PDF]
Burns cause greater morbidity and mortality in older patients owing to the physiological changes and functional status declines with age. We sought to characterize the epidemiology of burn injuries in the patient population aged over 80 years.

The rate of burning of colloidal propellants [PDF]
Abstract Two papers have recently appeared in which a theoretical law is derived for the burning of colloidal propellants, and in each case the theory is supported by experimental results. Yamaga proves that the rate of burning along the normal is proportional to the pressure of the surrounding gases, ’whereas Crow and Grimshaw prove ...
