The VPAM scale as of 2009 runs from 1 to 14, with 1-5 being soft armor, and 6-14 being hard armor. [1] Tested armor must withstand three hits, spaced 120 mm (4.7 inches) apart, of the designated test threat with no more than 25 mm (0.98 inches) of back-face deformation in order to pass.
2% for the head. Other studies have found that the rule of nines tends to over-estimate total burn area, [5] and that ratings can be subjective, [6] but that it can be performed quickly and easily, and provide reasonable estimates for initial management of burn patients. [5] The rule of nines was designed for adult patients.
Thus, the outer diameter of a catheter in millimeters can be calculated by dividing the French size by 3. [2] For example, a catheter with a French size of 9 would have an outer diameter of approximately 3 mm. While the French scale aligns closely with the metric system, it introduces redundancy and the potential for rounding errors.

For children and infants, the Lund and Browder chart is used to assess the burned body surface area. Different percentages are used because the ratio of the combined surface area of the head and neck to the surface area of the limbs is typically larger in children than that of an adult. [2] Typical values for common groups of humans follow. [3 ...
By comparing MUAMA values against computed tomography, studies by Heymsfield et al. found that, at the maximum circumference of the triceps, the contribution of bone to the total cross-sectional area was 18% in men and 17% in women, which were 10 cm 2 and 6.5 cm 2 respectively. [1]
[2] [3] Regardless of the driving force, the current density is found to be greatest at the conductor's surface, with a reduced magnitude deeper in the conductor. That decline in current density is known as the skin effect and the skin depth is a measure of the depth at which the current density falls to 1/e of its value near the surface. Over ...
The Fitzpatrick scale is not sufficient to precisely estimate the minimum radiation dose needed for sunburn. Research has found broad variation within and between populations, e.g. for skin type V subjects the MED in the US is 60–100 mJ/cm 2 vs. 120–240 mJ/cm 2 in Taiwan. [29] Neglecting weighting, 9 mJ/cm 2 is 1 UV index hour.
