Some of the most critical transportation infrastructures are road tunnels. Underground passageways for motorists provided through this cost-effective engineering solution, which allows high traffic volumes. A crucial aspect operation tunnels is fire safety. Risk assessments have been established to ensure level safety in As existing quantitative risk analysis (QRA) models inapplicable assess UK...

The recent publication by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) concerning its findings on the Concept Sciences Inc. (CSI) incident involving hydroxylamine (HA) has raised issues with regard to safe production of HA. This CSI incident was followed by another incident that destroyed the Nissin Chemical HA plant in Japan, and today BASF is the sole commercial producer of HA. HA is an important sol...

This study complements our previous work with a simultaneous analysis of user safety and road tunnel resilience. We developed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model simulated the corresponding egress process to evaluate risk level users exposed different types fire, such those which might occur on undisrupted lane partially closed tube due traffic accident, or in adjacent when used for two-wa...

Throughout maritime history, disasters have led to the loss of many human lives, environmental pollution, and property loss. The historic sinking iconic Titanic on 14 April 1912 had prompted massive change enhancement in shipping regulations. Nonetheless, industry still encounters similar incidents. This study aims at empirically examining effects Work-Family Conflict (WFC), Quality Regulatory ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plant species composition in wetlands and on lakeshores often shows dramatic zonation, which is frequently ascribed to differences in flooding tolerance. This study compared the growth responses to water depth of three species (Phormium tenax, Carex secta and Typha orientalis) differing in depth preferences in wetlands, using non-linear and quantile regression analyses to es...

Liquified natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel has gained momentum the maritime industry moves towards sustainable future. Since unwanted LNG release may lead to severe consequences, performing quantitative risk assessment (QRA) for bunkering operations become mandatory according some regulations. Human error is main contributor risks, and human probabilities (HEPs) are essential inclusion in QRA...

Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) for allergens exists in many different forms with requirements placed on the assessor depending question that needs to be answered. An electronic workshop held October 2020 and comprising representatives from a wide range of food allergy allergen stakeholder groups identified summary current best class guidance, gaps, potential improvements & harmonization QRA...
