Major disaster planning. [PDF]
BMJ, 1984 In 1983 a coach crash brought a hospital's major disaster plan into operation. The surgical aspects of the plan were assessed to see how well they matched up to three major aims: saving life, relieving pain and distress, and completing primary treatment of open wounds within eight hours of the accident.

Tema. Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment, 2021 The evolution of cities, whose pattern is all but regular, is sometimes marked by rare events that may disrupt the normal development. Throughout history, cities grow and shrink, flourish and perish, in a slow and somehow predictable way, but sometimes they suffer sudden and unexpected changes. Those breakages that profoundly modify their urban schemes

Dislocation‐Mediated Thermoelectric Performance and Mechanical Behavior
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Dislocations can scatter phonons to reduce thermal conductivity, thereby enhance thermoelectric performance. However, dislocations also impact mechanical properties, leading to increased brittleness and altered plasticity. It is essential to clarify the complex relationship between dislocations, thermal transport, and mechanical stability to achieve a ...
