Waste valorization strategies are key to achieve more sustainable production within the shrimp industry. The crustacean exoskeletons can be potentially used obtain value-added products such as chitosan. A comprehensive analysis including both safety and sustainability aspects of chitosan from shells is presented in this study. inherent evaluation was performed using Inherent Safety Index (ISI) ...

National road safety programmes have been developed in many motorised countries. Some of these programmes contain estimates of the safety benefits that were expected to be realised if the programmes were fully implemented. When these estimates are compared to actual outcomes, it is not uncommon to find large differences. This paper argues that differences between the predicted and actual result...

This paper discusses the concept of a structurally safe traffic system. The crucial question is how potential errors occurring in traffic can be reduced by revising the layout of the road environment. Two considerations play an important role: inherent safety and self-explaining properties. Inherent safety refers to the reduction of potentially dangerous encounters. Traffic systems having self-...

Abstract: Frequency drift is a serious problem in Current-Fed Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems. When the operating frequency is drifting from the inherent Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) frequency of resonant network, large short currents will appear and damage the switches. In this paper, an inductance-dampening method is proposed to inhibit short currents and achieve constant-frequency oper...

Inherent safety (IS) has been recognized as a design approach useful to remove or reduce hazards at the source instead of controlling them with add-on protective barriers (as in the case of extrinsic safety). However, inherent safety is based on qualitative principles that cannot easily be evaluated and analyzed, and this is one of the major difficulties for the systematic application and quant...

The increased interest in the use of automated safety analysis is supported by the claim that manual safety analysis based on traditional techniques is error–prone, costly and not necessarily complete. It is also claimed that traditional techniques are not able to deal with the inherent complexities of software intensive systems. However, we show in this paper that a transition (from manual to ...
