Lessons learnt from horse-related human fatalities: Accident analysis using HFACS-Equestrianism by Meredith Chapman, Kate Fenner, Matthew J.W. Thomas

“…This was done through a detailed frequency analysis of the underlying causes identified from the coronial investigation using Human Factors Analysis and Classification System-Equestrianism (HFACS-Eq), an accident analysis model specifically designed for equestrianism. As to be expected, the analysis found that most fatalities involved falls 56 % (n = 28) resulting in blunt force trauma 96 % (n = 48), with the horse as causal factor 90 % (n = 45).Beyond these obvious findings, the HFACS-Eq analysis revealed additional findings that in turn can guide future health, safety, and welfare advances in equestrianism. …”

High-Stability and Fast Calibration-Free Temperature Measurement Based on Light-Induced Thermoelastic Spectroscopy by Xiaonan Liu, Shunda Qiao, Ying He, Yufei Ma

“…Four methods, first harmonic (1f) difference signal to normalize the second harmonic (2f) fundamental signal (method I, 2ffund/1fdiff), 1f overtone signal to normalize the 2f fundamental signal (method II, 2ffund/1fover), 1f heterodyne difference signal to normalize the 2f heterodyne fundamental signal (method III, 2f-Hfund/1f-Hdiff), and 1f heterodyne overtone signal to normalize the 2f heterodyne fundamental signal (method IV, 2f-Hfund/1f-Hover), for simultaneously detecting 1f and 2f within the frequency response range of the QTF are proposed to achieve calibration-free measurement. A self-designed T-shaped QTF with low fundamental and overtone frequencies was used to increase the energy accumulation time, thereby enhancing the sensor signal level. …”
