Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Who doesn't wear seat belts? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Using real world accident data, seat belts were estimated to be 61% effective at preventing fatalities, and 32% effective at preventing serious injuries. They were most effective for drivers with an airbag.

Nonlinear Relations Between Resting Heart Rate Measures and Health Risk Behavior in Emerging Adulthood

open access: yesJournal of Adolescence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Resting heart rate (HR) measures reflect autonomic processes that could predict health risk behavior (HRB) in emerging adulthood when risky behavior is prominent. However, prior studies and extant theories are inconsistent, such that the relationships between HR measures and HRB could be positive or negative in direction.

Seat belt use and cardiac arrest immediately after motor vehicle collision: Nationwide observational study

open access: yesHeliyon
Objective: Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are known to cause traumatic cardiac arrest; it is unclear whether seat belts prevent this. This study aimed to evaluate the association between seat belt use and immediate cardiac arrest in cases of MVCs ...

Administrative Traditions of the Majority World: A Commentary and Future Research Agenda

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Decolonising public administration is an urgent and necessary endeavour. In this short article we argue that we cannot, however, settle for shallow decolonialisations. We argue that the specific iterations of bureaucracy evidenced in post‐colonial states across the majority world can be conceptualised through the lens of administrative ...

Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

IJCM_246A: Estimating the prevalence of seat belt usage in motor cars: A descriptive cross-sectional study in Mangalore

open access: yesIndian Journal of Community Medicine
Background: Every year 1.25 million people die of road traffic accidents. Several safety measures can be taken to prevent RTAs. The SDG 2030 set the target to halve the number of global death and injuries from road traffic accidents by the year 2020. The
