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 ...

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.

Multimodal multiscale characterization of cascading hazard on mountain terrain
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2023 Extreme precipitation (rain or/and snow) in upstream areas of the Himalayan region often triggers water and sediment hazards, including flash floods, landslides, debris flow, and river damming.

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.

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.

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 ...
