Analysis Of Various Car-truck Crash Types Based On Ges And Fars Crash Databases Using Mutlinomial And Binary Logit Model
… the Fatality Analysis Reporting system database (FARS). All two vehicle crashes including either a car or truck (truck-truck cases excluded because of their low percentage composition) were obtained from these databases. Based on the five year data (GES/FARS) the percentage of car-truck angle …

Characterization and Heterologous Expression of Recombinant Drosophila melanogaster Fatty Acyl CoA Reductase
… genomes have multiple fatty acyl CoA reductases (FARs), which implies varying substrate and product profiles. However, very few of these FARs have been characterized. Expression of the FAR CG18031 from Drosophila melanogaster in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf)9 cells will allow for functional …

Functional Characterization of Fatty Acyl-Reductase CG17560 in Drosophila Melanogaster
… from insects, such as fatty-acyl reductases (FARs), has been one such approach. FARs convert fatty acids to equivalent aldehydes and/or alcohols. Aldehydes may serve as precursors for decarbonylation, resulting in hydrocarbon production which could then be purified as biofuel. The FAR 17560 …

Spatial Analysis of Fatal Automobile Crashes in Kentucky
… to identify spatial patterns and hot spots in FARS (Fatal Analysis Reporting System) fatal crash events based on temporal and demographic characteristics. The methods employed included 1) rate calculation using FARS points and average daily traffic flow; 2) planar kernel density estimation of …

Fatigue: Investigation of a Human Factor for Regional Airline Pilots
… human limitations; Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) that have not evolved with the advancement of aircraft performance and the public demand for 24 hour availability of flights; and poor personal habits. An analysis of the data and literature led to the following conclusions: (a) the existing …

System design and optimization of an aerial refueling system for transcontinental flights
… we propose a floating air refueling system (FARS) to reduce fuel costs on intercontinental flights. In this system, we launch a tanker to refuel incoming intercontinental aircraft. Through the refueling process, intercontinental flights avoid the exponential fuel consumption caused by the …

Describing the Roadway and Driver Characteristics of Fatality Motor Vehicle Crashes in Travis County Texas in 2008
… from the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) database, the results from Travis County will be compared to Texas’ ten most populated counties, the State of Texas, and the United States. Evaluation of these factors suggest strategies to minimize the number of motor-vehicle fatality crashes …

Air Crew Alcohol and Drug Policies: A Survey of FAR of Part 91 Corporate/Executive Flight Operations
… Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs). Researchers found 68% of these operators had written general alcohol/drug, 20% had rehabilitation and 15% had job retention/recovery policies in place. Statistical tests showed that for each pilot added to the flight operation the odds of …

Effects of lateral heterogeneity on 1D D.C. resistivity and transient electromagnetic soundings in Kuwait
… by the occurrence of gatch (caliche) in the Fars and Ghar formations of the Kuwait Group. The comparison between DCR and TEM indicates that the TEM data is not sensitive to a relatively resistive layer that is resolved by the 1D DCR inversion, or to the resistive heterogeneities that are …

The effect of technology upskilling on the quality of life of elderly people in Iran : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
… local public health centres located in Shiraz, Fars, Iran in 2018-2019. The qualitative results were based on the analysis of semi-structured interviews, while the quantitative results were based on the changes in the mean scores of the CASP-19 scale and subscales (p-value) in the intervention …

Injury Mechanisms in Roadside Motorcycle Collisions
… using the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and General Estimates System (GES) showed that crashes with guardrail than crashes were about 7 times more likely to be fatal than those with the ground, based on the most harmful event reported. An analysis of 1,000 riders in barrier crashes …

Child road trauma: a profile for children in New South Wales and evaluation of properly-used age-appropriate restraints as a countermeasure
… used the Fatality Analysis Reporting Systems (FARS) from the United States (US) and estimated the association between different restraint uses and child passenger fatality using a matched cohort method. Improperly using restraints significantly elevated the risk of death for child passengers …

Model-based cardiac CT segmentation and 3D heart reconstruction
Liver cancer is a serious disease in human beings. An effective way to cure liver cancer is the liver transplant operation. However, to make the surgical plan, the doctors need to know the structure, location and thickness of the hepatic vein. Therefore, hepatic vein segmentation is an initial and …
