Computer Simulation as a Tool for Assessing Decision-Making in Pandemic Influenza Response Training

Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2013
Introduction: We sought to develop and test a computer-based, interactive simulation of a hypothetical pandemic influenza outbreak. Fidelity was enhanced with integrated video and branching decision trees, built upon the 2007 federal planning assumptions.

An optimizing microseismic method for rock burst early warning based on mining production process

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A classification early warning method of rock burst based on hourly microseismic data is proposed, which can be combined with the on‐site production process to provide more timely warning. Abstract Microseismic (MS) events have been reported in nearly every coal mining country, which could well lead to rock burst in underground coal mines.

Developing a translational triage research tool: part two—evaluating the tool through a Delphi study among experts

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2022
Background There are different prehospital triage systems, but no consensus on what constitutes the optimal choice. This heterogeneity constitutes a threat in a mass casualty incident in which triage is used during multiagency collaboration to prioritize

Data-Centric Load and QoS-Aware Body-to-Body Network Routing Protocol for Mass Casualty Incident

IEEE Access, 2021
Triage is the most important requirement of Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) where monitoring the vital signs of casualty is the crucial aspect to assess the severity of their current medical conditions.

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

Mechanism of “seesaw‐type” rock burst in coal seam mining beneath mountainous areas

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study reveals the mechanism of “seesaw‐type” rock bursts during coal mining beneath mountainous areas. The advancing working face induces nonuniform fracturing of the overburden. The detached mountain mass then undergoes a seesaw‐type rotational movement around a shifting pivot, driving the primary fracture through a characteristic “open‐close ...

Comparison between simple triage and rapid treatment and Taiwan Triage and Acuity Scale for the emergency department triage of victims following an earthquake-related mass casualty incident: a retrospective cohort study

World Journal of Emergency Surgery, 2020
Background Triage plays a crucial role in the emergency department (ED) management of mass casualty incidents (MCIs) when resources are limited. This study aimed to compare the performance of simple triage and rapid treatment (START) with that of the ...

The Field’s mass shooting: emergency medical services response

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2023
Background Major incidents (MI) happen infrequently in Scandinavia and mass shootings are even less frequently occurring. Case reports and research are called for, as literature is scarce. On 3rd July 2022, a mass shooting took place at the shopping mall

Probabilistic characterization of seepage‐induced tunnel face failure via a two‐phase double‐point material point method

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
To address seepage‐induced tunnel face collapse, this study develops a two‐phase double‐point MPM framework to capture large‐deformation hydro‐mechanical interactions. Incorporating a cementation‐based constitutive model with dynamic permeability updates, the model is successfully validated against saturated granular‐column collapse experiments ...
