  • A Basic Firearm Tutorial by John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009
    A Basic Firearm Tutorial By John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009 Statistics for Firearm-Related Deaths According to a 2005 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were almost 31, 000 firearm‐related deaths within the United States. Of the 31, 000 deaths, 55% of those deaths were certified as suicides, 40% certified as homicides, 3% certified as accidents, and the remaining 2% were certified as undetermined. A previous study by the CDC covering the years 1993 to 1998 also found that most firearm‐related deaths were again caused by self‐inflicted acts and men and individuals between the ages of 15 and 34 comprised a majority of those firearm‐related deaths. Every medical examiner or coroner’s office across the country has investigated a firearm‐ related death. Depending on your jurisdiction, these types of deaths may comprise a large portion of your caseload or a small portion. Regardless of the number of firearm‐related deaths your office investigates, every medicolegal death investigator must be knowledgeable in the safe handling of firearms, basic ballistics terminology and the parts of a particular firearm, whether it be a semi‐automatic handgun, revolver, shotgun or rifle. General Safety Practices The safe approach to and subsequent handling of firearms is your personal responsibility. Safety is the number one priority when handling such weapons. At any death scene involving a firearm, the death investigator MUST ALWAYS ASSUME THE FIREARM IS LOADED! Most accidental discharges of a firearm are the result of not following safe gun handling practices and failure to use common sense.

  • The Governor's Guidelines for Firearms and Scare Devices for Protection
    THE GOVERNOR OF SVALBARD’s GUIDELINES FOR FIREARMS AND PROTECTION AND SCARING DEVICES AGAINST POLAR BEARS Adopted and enters into force on 20.07.2021 pursuant to Act No. 7 of 20 April,2018 relating to firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition (the Firearms Act) and Sections 5-7 and 6-11 of regulation No. 1452 of 7 May 2021 relating to firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition etc. (the Firearms Regulations). 1.Types of firearms 1.1 Rifle - Rifles are permitted to be acquired for use as polar bear protection in Svalbard pursuant to the Firearms Act and the Firearms Regulations - The person applying to acquire firearms for this purpose must meet the general requirements for conduct, sobriety and suitability in Section 15 of the Firearms Act, as well as document "sufficient proficiency" in the use of the firearm in question, cf. Section 5-7 of the Firearms Regulations. - Polar bear protection rifles must use ammunition of calibre 308 or 30.06. An expanding bullet shall be used where the projectile will weigh at least 10 grams and provide an estimated energy of at least 2,200 joule at a distance of 100 meters. Out of consideration for precision, range, stopping power, functionality and reliability in cold conditions, the Governor of Svalbard recommends the use of a rifle as primary protection against polar bears rather than other types of weapons. Acquisition permits for single-handed weapons will only be granted in exceptional cases, cf. Section 5-7 of the Firearms Regulations. Legal basis: Sections 15 to 17 of the Firearms Act, Sections 5-7 of the Firearms Regulations.

  • The Five Common Particles
    The Five Common Particles The world around you consists of only three particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons form the nuclei of atoms, and electrons glue everything together and create chemicals and materials. Along with the photon and the neutrino, these particles are essentially the only ones that exist in our solar system, because all the other subatomic particles have half-lives of typically 10-9 second or less, and vanish almost the instant they are created by nuclear reactions in the Sun, etc. Particles interact via the four fundamental forces of nature. Some basic properties of these forces are summarized below. (Other aspects of the fundamental forces are also discussed in the Summary of Particle Physics document on this web site.) Force Range Common Particles It Affects Conserved Quantity gravity infinite neutron, proton, electron, neutrino, photon mass-energy electromagnetic infinite proton, electron, photon charge -14 strong nuclear force ≈ 10 m neutron, proton baryon number -15 weak nuclear force ≈ 10 m neutron, proton, electron, neutrino lepton number Every particle in nature has specific values of all four of the conserved quantities associated with each force.

JC Ph.D. Dissertation. Abstract Previous measurements of the branching fractions of the tau lepton result in a discrepancy between the inclusive branching fraction and the sum of the exclusive branching fractions to final states containing one charged particle. The sum of the exclusive branching fractions is significantly smaller than the inclusive branching fraction. In this analysis, the branching fractions for all the major decay modes are measured simultaneously with the sum of the branching fractions constrained to be one. The branching fractions are measured using an unbiased sample of tau decays, with little background, selected from 207 pb-l of data accumulated with the Mark II detector at the PEP e+e- storage ring. The sample is selected using the decay products of one member of the r+~- pair produced in e+e- annihilation to identify the event and then including the opposite member of the pair in the sample. The sample is divided into subgroups according to charged and neutral particle multiplicity, and charged particle identification. The branching fractions are simultaneously measured using an unfold technique and a maximum likelihood fit. The results of this analysis indicate that the discrepancy found in previous experiments is possibly due to two sources.

  • Read About the Particle Nature of Matter
    READING MATERIAL Read About the Particle Nature of Matter PARTICLES OF MATTER DEFINITION Matter is anything that has weight and takes up space. A particle is the smallest possible unit of matter. Understanding that matter is made of tiny particles too small to be seen can help us understand the behavior and properties of matter. To better understand how the 3 states of matter work…. LET’S BREAK IT DOWN! All matter is made of particles that are too small to be seen. Everything you can see and touch is made of matter. It is all the “stuff” in the universe. Things that are not made of matter include energy, and ideas like peace and love. Matter is made up of small particles that are too small to be seen, even with a powerful microscope. They are so small that you would have to put about 100,000 particles in a line to equal the width of a human hair! Page 1 The arrangement of particles determines the state of matter. Particles are arranged and move differently in each state of matter. Solids contain particles that are tightly packed, with very little space between particles. If an object can hold its own shape and is difficult to compress, it is a solid. Liquids contain particles that are more loosely packed than solids, but still closely packed compared to gases. Particles in liquids are able to slide past each other, or flow, to take the shape of their container. Particles are even more spread apart in gases. Gases will fill any container, but if they are not in a container, they will escape into the air.

No part of this work may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the written permission of the author. 2 Introduction The British military services made considerable use of pistols during the Great War but it is evident that there is widespread ignorance and poor literary coverage of the weapons and their use. It is proposed to examine the pistol in British military service in the Great War, covering issue and use, technique and training, and procurement. Approximately half a million pistols were procured during the war, making it one of the numerically most widely issued weapons. A number of Corps, including the Machine Gun Corps, Tank Corps, and Royal Flying Corps were issued pistols as personal weapons, as well as extensive distribution in other arms. It is known that pistol use was widespread in trench warfare and critical on occasions. Decorations, including several Victoria Crosses, are recorded as being won by men using them aggressively.

  • Charged Particle Radiotherapy
    Corporate Medical Policy Charged Particle Radiotherapy File Name: charged_particle_radiotherapy Origination: 3/12/96 Last CAP Review: 5/2021 Next CAP Review: 5/2022 Last Review: 5/2021 Description of Procedure or Service Cha rged-particle beams consisting of protons or helium ions or carbon ions are a type of particulate ra dia tion therapy (RT). They contrast with conventional electromagnetic (i.e., photon) ra diation therapy due to several unique properties including minimal scatter as particulate beams pass through tissue, and deposition of ionizing energy at precise depths (i.e., the Bragg peak). Thus, radiation exposure of surrounding normal tissues is minimized. The theoretical advantages of protons and other charged-particle beams may improve outcomes when the following conditions a pply: • Conventional treatment modalities do not provide adequate local tumor control; • Evidence shows that local tumor response depends on the dose of radiation delivered; and • Delivery of adequate radiation doses to the tumor is limited by the proximity of vital ra diosensitive tissues or structures. The use of proton or helium ion radiation therapy has been investigated in two general categories of tumors/abnormalities. However, advances in photon-based radiation therapy (RT) such as 3-D conformal RT, intensity-modulated RT (IMRT), a nd stereotactic body ra diotherapy (SBRT) a llow improved targeting of conventional therapy. 1. Tumors located near vital structures, such as intracranial lesions or lesions a long the a xial skeleton, such that complete surgical excision or adequate doses of conventional radiation therapy are impossible. These tumors/lesions include uveal melanomas, chordomas, and chondrosarcomas at the base of the skull and a long the axial skeleton.
