Natural Hazard Characterization

, 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

, 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

Critical 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 Radioactive Hazardous Waste

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2000
The characterization of radioactive hazardous waste, also known as transuranic "mixed waste" has to be completed before it can be classified for proper treatment (incinerator, mechanical compaction or thermal treatment), packing, and transport. The characterization of the TRU mixed waste is not only complex process but rather an expensive undertaking ...

Characterizing soils for hazardous waste site assessments

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1994
This paper provides a review and justification of the minimum data needed to characterize soils for hazardous waste site assessments and to comply with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). Scientists and managers within the regulatory agency and the liable party need to know what are the important soil ...

Intelligent autonomy for remote characterization of hazardous environments

Proceedings of the 2003 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control ISIC-03, 2003
Remote characterization of high radiation environments is a pressing application area where robots have the potential to provide benefits in terms of time, cost, safety and quality of data. However, the ability to design robots that can be used effectively has proven to be no easy task.
