IMPACT RESISTANCE OF BAR GLASSES

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1993
Bar glasses are often used as weapons in interpersonal violence. Violence often erupts spontaneously and assailants use objects close to hand as weapons. After an initial national Accident and Emergency Department study to identify glass designs most often implicated in interpersonal violence, the impact resistance of 1-pint beer glasses was tested in ...

Resistance to external impact

2006
Abstract This chapter considers the external impact of crashing aircraft, sabotage, and the effect of explosive pressure wave. The external impact is considered with reference to engineering defence measures: aircraft impact, otherwise, can be prevented, with variable degrees of effectiveness, by provisions such as by modifying flight corridors or by

Assessing the impact of antimicrobial resistance

American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 2002
Trends in infectious disease mortality, contributing factors, and resistance patterns of commonly isolated microorganisms are described. Antimicrobial resistance was first reported in 1941 with sulfonamides. The frequency of antimicrobial resistance has increased in hospital and community settings, resulting in therapeutic failures, the use of ...

New quinolones and the impact on resistance

Drug Discovery Today, 2001
The changes in quinolone research have been fast and exciting over the past 5-7 years with the discovery and development of several new 8-methoxy quinolones. An additional factor is the design of the so-called 4th-generation quinolones that lack the C-6 fluorine, which might impact the development of quinolone resistance.

The Impact of Antibiotic Management on Resistance

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 2004
The misguided presumption that a simple inverse relationship exists between the use of antibiotics and the emergence of bacterial resistance (i.e., increasing antibiotic use equals decreasing susceptibility and vice versa) has handicapped a full understanding of this relationship and perhaps efforts to bring resistance under control.

Impactful Resistance

Journal of Management Inquiry, 2015
Contrary to an ontology of defeatism that permeates scholarship on resistance, this paper suggests a perspective through which resistance can lead to hope and the unlikely victory of the powerless against the powerful. We offer an example where resisters develop specific activities that substantially modify a power relationship, thus showing the ...

Phenomenology of impact resistance and impact testing

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1965
The impact resistance of plastics can be described in terms of three contributions; these are the elastic, plastic, and crack propagation phases. By using a recording pendulum impact device it is possible to analyze any material as to the relative importance of the above phenomena.

Clinical Impact of Antibiotic Resistance

1998
The development of antimicrobial agents for clinical use has brought unquestionable benefits to individuals and to society. Infections that formerly were frequently fatal have become routinely curable. Furthermore, the availability of effective antibiotic therapy has facilitated the employment by physicians of potent immunosuppressive therapy in the ...

Brittleness and Impact Resistance

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 1969
Impact resistance and brittleness have often been confused as identical properties for ceramic materials. This study determines the conditions under which the static characteristic of brittleness diverges from the dynamic characteristic of impact resistivity.
