TL;DR

A considerable amount of growing children’s injuries take place during exercise and sports activities, includingEpiphyseal injuries 1-3 and avulsion fractures 4 are considered as some typical children's traumas.

Abstract

Temperatures have been measured in a high-pressure microwave sulfur lamp using sulfur atomic lines found in the spectrum at 867, 921 and 1045 nm. The absolute intensities were determined for 3, 5 and 7 bar lamps at several input powers, ranging from 400 to 600 W. On average, temperatures are found to be 4.1±0.15 kK and increase slightly with increasing pressure and input power. These values and trends agree well with our simulations. However, the power trend is reversed to that demonstrated by the model, which might be an indication that the skin-depth model for the electric field may be incomplete.
