Modelling a Safety Management System Using System Dynamics at the Bhopal Incident

Applied Sciences, 2020
In a safety management system (SMS), risk management plays a key role for the prevention of accidents. This study aims to propose a safety management model by using a system dynamics approach applied to the Bhopal incident.

Evaluation of in vitro toxicity of common phytochemicals included in weight loss supplements using 1H NMR spectroscopy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the toxicity of 12 active compounds commonly found in herbal weight loss supplements (WLS) using human liver and colon cell models. Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate was the only compound showing significant toxicity. Metabolic profiling revealed protein degradation, disrupted energy and lipid metabolism suggesting that the inclusion of EGCG ...

Electrical conductivity of mantle minerals beneath East Asia revealed by geomagnetic observatory data

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
The electrical conductivity of the earth’s mantle can provide important information about geodynamic phenomena. East Asia is associated with complex tectonics and geodynamic processes.

Joint Committees: No Substitute for Union Action [PDF]

, 1990
[Excerpt] Nearly half of all industrial union contracts mandate joint labor-management health and safety committees (JHSCs). In the past five years, mandated JHSCs have also become common in the public sector in states that have enacted occupational ...

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.

Disaster-induced displacement in the Caribbean and the Pacific

Forced Migration Review, 2017
People in Small Island Developing States are particularly vulnerable to displacement by disaster. Governments in the Caribbean and the Pacific need urgently to do more risk management and planning, rather than focusing almost exclusively on response and ...

Dynamic triaxial constitutive model for rock subjected to initial stress

Open Physics, 2020
Building on the existing model, an improved constitutive model for rock is proposed and extended in three dimensions. The model can avoid the defect of non-zero dynamic stress at the beginning of impact loading, and the number of parameters is in a ...

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Energy Dissipation and Fractal Properties of Coal under Cyclic Impact Loading

Advances in Civil Engineering
To investigate the periodic disturbance and damage characteristics of coal under different impact pressures, the stress‒strain failure and damage trends of weak, impact-prone coal samples were analysed under different impact pressures and different ...
