2020 Fireworks Annual Report: Fireworks-Related Deaths, Emergency Department-Treated Injuries, and Enforcement Activities During 2020
From the Executive Summary: "This report provides the results of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff's analysis of data on non-occupational, fireworks-related deaths and injuries during calendar year 2020. The report also summarizes CPSC staff's enforcement activities during fiscal year 2020. Staff obtained information on fireworks-related deaths from news clippings and other sources in CPSC's Consumer Product Safety Risk Management System (CPSRMS). Staff also estimated fireworks-related injuries treated in hospital emergency departments from CPSC's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS). Finally, CPSC staff conducted a special study of non-occupational fireworks-related injuries between June 21, 2020 and July 21, 2020. The special study included collecting and analyzing more detailed incident information, such as the type of injury, the fireworks involved, the characteristics of the victim, and the incident scenario. About 66 percent of the estimated annual fireworks-related, emergency department-treated injuries for 2020 occurred during that period."

Report of an Army Workshop on Convergence Forecasting: Mechanochemical Transduction
"While the rapid pace of science and technology (S&T) in the modern world is enabling new capabilities for the Army, the globalization of information, research, and economies poses new challenges for the Department of Defense (DoD) to stay at the cutting edge of S&T research and avoid technological surprise. Previous approaches to forecasting S&T abilities of future allies and adversaries, and to predicting corresponding changes required for Army strategy have had limited success. A method for more accurately predicting the emergence of future scientific discoveries and applications would be instrumental for improving the effectiveness of DoD S&T programs. Recent studies have suggested a more successful forecasting approach: Identify potential confluences or convergences of individual science and engineering fields and then project how those convergences may lead to new capabilities. One recently emerged convergence is between the fields of chemistry and materials science. This revolutionary new field, called mechanochemical transduction, focuses on understanding and harnessing the fundamental processes through which mechanical stress can lead to a pre-designed chemical reaction."
