ROCKFALL HAZARD ASSESSMENT AND GEOLOGICAL-GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A ROCK SLOPE IN BR-356 [PDF]

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 ...

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.

Impact hazard area classification based on multi factor coupled quantitative characterization model

Gong-kuang zidonghua
In response to the problem that existing impact hazard assessment methods cannot accurately reflect the features of stress concentration changes under the influence of impact hazard factors, an impact hazard area classification method base on multi ...

Geomorphic Flood Hazard Mapping: From Floodplain Delineation to Flood-Hazard Characterization [PDF]

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.

Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment for human health. [PDF]

Arch Toxicol, 2023
Fungi of the genus Alternaria are ubiquitous plant pathogens and saprophytes which are able to grow under varying temperature and moisture conditions as well as on a large range of substrates. A spectrum of structurally diverse secondary metabolites with

Characterization of the toxicological hazards of hydrocarbon solvents [PDF]

Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 2015
Hydrocarbon solvents are liquid hydrocarbon fractions derived from petroleum processing streams, containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms, with carbon numbers ranging from approximately C5-C20 and boiling between approximately 35-370°C. Many of the hydrocarbon solvents have complex and variable compositions with constituents of 4 types, alkanes ...

Characterization Results on Lifetime Distributions by Scaled Reliability Measures Using Completeness Property in Functional Analysis

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.

Ecotoxicological characterization of hazardous wastes

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2008
In Europe hazardous wastes are classified by 14 criteria including ecotoxicity (H 14). Standardized methods originally developed for chemical and soil testing were adapted for the ecotoxicological characterization of wastes including leachate and solid phase tests. A consensus on which tests should be recommended as mandatory is still missing.

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 ...

ChemESI (Chemical Environmental Sustainability Index)—A KPI (Key Performance Indicator) for Standardizing Environmental Metrics for Chemical Sustainability

Frontiers in Sustainability, 2022
As part of the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) dynamics, chemical environmental sustainability, i.e., the impact from chemicals and how to measure it across hundreds of products, is a daunting, but necessary task.
