Trauma caused by falling objects at construction sites
Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2012Workplace-related injuries carry a significant health care challenge. The state of Qatar is developing rapidly, with much construction and an expanding industrial work force. This study aimed to assess the incidence and social impact of work-related injuries requiring hospitalization caused by falling objects at the construction sites.We performed a ...

Testing the equivalence principle through freely falling quantum objects [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1997 Free fall in a uniform gravitational field is reexamined in the case of quantum states with and without a classical analogue. The interplay between kinematics and dynamics in the evolution of a falling quantum test particle is discussed allowing for a ...

The water falls but the waterfall does not fall: New perspectives on objects, processes and events
Applied Ontology, 2009We challenge the widespread presumption that matter and objects are ontologically prior to processes and events, and also the less widespread but increasingly popular view that processes and events are ontologically prior to matter and objects. Instead we advance a third view according to which each of these pairs of categories is ontologically ...

The eastward deflection of a falling object
American Journal of Physics, 1983In the well-known problem of the eastward deflection of a falling object much physical insight is gained by viewing the motion from an inertial frame.

Falling objects that could strike or crush body parts should incorporate a mechanism that slows down the object’s movement. Historically, many products have incorporated components that could drop onto and injure people. Slowing down objects can reduce impact forces and give people more time to get out of the way of a falling object.

Comments on the horizontal deflection of a falling object
American Journal of Physics, 1987The southward deflection of a falling object is derived from an exact calculation by Potgieter in the model of a perfectly spherical Earth. The result is physically interpreted in a reference frame fixed to the Earth. The classical expression given by Sommerfeld is corrected.

On generation of infrasound by large objects falling into water
IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003A large range of geophysical processes can be detected at long range using the low-frequency sounds generated. Here we consider an important case: an object like a rock or ice shelf falls into water to generate an infrasound, which can be received at large distances.

On the falling of objects in non-Newtonian fluids
ANNALI DELL UNIVERSITA DI FERRARA, 1994The paper treats the problem of objects in an incompressible fluid of the second grade. The second grade fluid is capable of exhibiting both the normal stress differences, and thus this model has been studied in great detail during last years. First, the authors study the problem of a thin, but heavy, lamina falling under the influence of gravity ...

Injuries from falling objects in the United Arab Emirates
International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion, 2013Our aim was to study the demography, anatomical regions injured, severity, and outcome of hospitalised trauma patients who were injured by falling objects in order to give recommendations regarding their prevention in the UAE. All trauma patients who were injured by falling objects and were admitted to Al Ain Hospital for more than 24 hours, or died ...
