Background: The authors assessed the standard of care for patients presenting with deliberate self-harm (DSH) injuries to major trauma centres (MTCs) in England as well as hospitals within the major trauma network in Scotland. This was to generate an understanding of current practice, identify any shortfall and develop recommendations to improve safety and patient care.
Methods: We contacted all MTCs in England and hospitals in the major trauma network in Scotland, asking their permission to be included in this study.
Flapping wings have attracted significant interest for use in miniature unmanned flying vehicles. Although numerous studies have investigated the performance of flapping wings under quiescent conditions, effects of freestream disturbances on their performance remain under-explored. In this study, we experimentally investigated the effects of uniform vertical inflows on flapping wings using a Reynolds-scaled apparatus operating in water at Reynolds number ≈ 3600.
