Predicting and confirming the effectiveness of systems for managing low-probability chemical process risks
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006)
This article addresses the role of a facility's process safety management system (PSMS) in preventing low probability–high consequence (LP–HC) accidents. We review the rationale for the hypothesis that a facility's PSMS ...
Optimal estimators for ambient air quality levels
(Elsevier, 1992)
Procedures to estimate missing data, determine extrema, and derive uncertainties for data collected in ambient air monitoring networks are presented. The optimal linear estimators used obtain unbiased, minimum variance ...
Critical analysis of the graphical determination of hansen's solubility parameters for lightly crosslinked polymers
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-12-19)
The most widely accepted method for determining Hansen's three-dimensional solubility parameters (3DSP) for crosslinked polymers entails graphically estimating the center of a spherical region in 3DSP-coordinate space whose ...
