TL;DR: In this article, a new life cycle indexing system is proposed, which will facilitate the LCA application in process and product evaluation and decision-making, which is comprised of four important sub-indices or attributes -environment, health and safety (EHS), cost, technical feasibility, and socio-political factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new system of methodologies for hazard identification and ranking (HIRA) is presented, consisting of two indices: one for fire and explosion hazards and another for the hazard due to likely release of toxic chemical The magnitudes of these indices indicate the severity of the likely accident; in terms of the size of the impacted area.
Abstract: Risk analysis in chemical process industries is an elaborate exercise involving several steps from preliminary hazard identification to development of credible accident scenarios, to preparation of strategies for prevention or control of damage All this requires substantial inputs of time and money In order to get an approximate yet workable assessment of risk at much lesser costs, indices have been developed which link typical findings of elaborate risk analysis to scales of risk The scales, in turn, provide workable measures of hazards/risks/safety In the past, indices have been reported for swift risk assessment—the noteworthy among them include Dow fire and explosion index, Mond fire, explosion and toxicity index, IFAL index, and mortality index A few rapid ranking techniques have also been proposed This paper presents a new system of methodologies for Hazard Identification and Ranking (HIRA) The system consists of two indices: one for fire and explosion hazards and another for the hazard due to likely release of toxic chemical The magnitudes of these indices indicate the severity of the likely accident; in terms of the size of the impacted area HIRA has been applied to a typical chemical process industry—a sulfolane plant—and its performance has been compared with that of the Dow's and the Mond's indices The study reveals that HIRA is more sensitive and accurate than the other indices

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a process accident model with predictive capabilities, which uses a combination of event and fault tree concepts to model the cause-consequence relationship, and the model is able to capture the process operational behavior, and update the accident likelihood using the Bayesian updating mechanism.

TL;DR: In this paper, the safety and operational issues of constant bottom-hole pressure drilling technique which is used in managed pressure drilling compared to conventional overbalanced drilling are investigated, and the bow-tie models are mapped into Bayesian networks.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors considered more than 2000 dust explosion accidents that occurred worldwide between 1785 and 2012 and examined spatially and temporally the statistical features of these cases.

TL;DR: The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or her own research.
Abstract: I have developed "tennis elbow" from lugging this book around the past four weeks, but it is worth the pain, the effort, and the aspirin. It is also worth the (relatively speaking) bargain price. Including appendixes, this book contains 894 pages of text. The entire panorama of the neural sciences is surveyed and examined, and it is comprehensive in its scope, from genomes to social behaviors. The editors explicitly state that the book is designed as "an introductory text for students of biology, behavior, and medicine," but it is hard to imagine any audience, interested in any fragment of neuroscience at any level of sophistication, that would not enjoy this book. The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or
