Natural Hazard Characterization

open access: yes, 2017
Major natural events must be characterized in terms of their hazard, that is, their ability to cause significant harm. Although there have been attempts to predict the occurrence of natural events, uncertainties still exist with respect to large-scale natural events due to their complexity.

Technological Hazard Characterization

open access: yes, 2017
In the framework of Natech risk assessment, technological hazard refers to a potential for the occurrence of adverse effects due to the release of hazardous substances, from process or storage equipment, caused by natural-hazard impacts. It is important to identify the equipment that acts as a hazard source, and to rank the hazard in terms of the type ...

Comparative Hazard Characterization in Food Toxicology

open access: yesCritical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2009
Historically, different approaches have been adopted for comparing and characterizing hazards that can be found in the very complex mixture of substances present in food. In this review a variety of prominent risk assessment models are evaluated in the context of food safety. In their current state of refinement, though, they show limited applicability

Characterization of nonmonotone hazards

Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium. 1998 Proceedings. International Symposium on Product Quality and Integrity, 1998
A new model is proposed for the characterization of failure distributions which allows a monotone characterization for distributions with nonmonotone hazard or failure rates. The new model is based on the log odds rate and can be seen to characterize a failure time distribution in terms of increasing log odds rate (ILOR) and decreasing log odds rate ...

Characterization of the Noncancer Hazards of Gas Oils

International Journal of Toxicology, 2013
Gas oils, used to manufacture diesel fuel and residential heating oil, are complex hydrocarbon substances with carbon numbers of C 9 -C 30 and boiling ranges of approximately 150°C to 450°C.
