Chemical Allergy: Translating Biology into Hazard Characterization [PDF]
Toxicological Sciences, 2010 The induction by chemicals of allergic sensitization and allergic disease is an important and challenging branch of toxicology. Skin sensitization resulting in allergic contact dermatitis represents the most common manifestation of immunotoxicity in humans, and many hundreds of chemicals have been implicated as skin sensitizers.

Earthquake hazard characterization by using entropy: application to northern Chilean earthquakes [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 The mechanical description of the seismic cycle has an energetic analogy in terms of statistical physics and the second law of thermodynamics. In this context, an earthquake can be considered a phase transition, where continuous reorganization of ...

Mathematics, 2023 In this article, using the scaled (weighted) residual life variable, some scaled measures, the scaled mean residual life and the scaled hazard rate, are introduced. Several scales are considered as examples of the derivation of the scaled measures.

ROCKFALL HAZARD ASSESSMENT AND GEOLOGICAL-GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A ROCK SLOPE IN BR-356
Holos, 2020 The rockfall hazard assessment for roads is very important in geotechnical engineering business. As the process is very fast and complex, a hazard analysis is of fundamental importance for the adoption of preventive action plans and mitigation of ...

A Bayes method for a monotone hazard rate via S-paths [PDF]
, 2006 A class of random hazard rates, which is defined as a mixture of an indicator kernel convolved with a completely random measure, is of interest. We provide an explicit characterization of the posterior distribution of this mixture hazard rate model via a

Dynamic Cumulative Residual and Past Inaccuracy Measures [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2015 In this paper, we have developed measures of dynamic cumulative residual and past inaccuracy. We have studied characterization results under proportional hazard model in case of dynamic cumulative residual inaccuracy and under proportional reversed ...

Geomorphic Flood Hazard Mapping: From Floodplain Delineation to Flood-Hazard Characterization
Hydrological Sciences Journal, 2023 Recent studies show how geomorphic descriptors, retrieved from digital elevation models (DEMs), can be used for flood hazard mapping. As they strictly depend on the accuracy of the input DEMs and reference flood hazard maps used for training, DEM-based flood hazard models may display severe inconsistencies.

The CRaTER Special Issue of Space Weather: Building the observational foundation to deduce biological effects of space radiation [PDF]
, 2013 [1] The United States is preparing for exploration beyond low-Earth Orbit (LEO). However, the space radiation environment poses significant risks. The radiation hazard is potentially severe but not sufficiently well characterized to determine if long ...
