Occupational Health and Safety: management accounting failure

On a global level, it is estimated that over 5,000 people die every day due to accidents, injury or sickness contracted at work. For each fatality there is another 1,000 injuries which lead to incapacitation (Else, 2003). These figures raise the question of whether this is a necessary side-effect of present day society, or the result of failure to address key issues. This paper presents a brief...

UDC 539.4 Transferability of Laboratory Fracture Data to Safety Assessment of Postulated Defects in Critical NPP Components

С целью оценки прочности корпусов реакторов АЭС проведены натурные стендовые испы­ тания на трещиностойкость образцов с внутренними дефектами. Представленные резуль­ таты свидетельствуют о возможности использования в расчетах полученных стандарт­ ных данных для обнаруженных и предполагаемых дефектов корпусных сталей. Показано, что применение метода "Master Curve” обеспечивает более точное прогн...

Optimal Operation Management of a Typical Microgrid as Grid Connected in Power Systems Using Fuzzy Sliding-Mode Control (FSMC) Approach

This paper presents modeling and control of a hybrid distributed energy sources including photovoltaic (PV), fuel cell (FC) and battery energy storage (BES) in a microgrid which provides both real and reactive power to support a utility grid using fuzzy sliding-mode control (FSMC). The overall configuration of the microgrid including dynamic models for the PV, FC, BES and its power electronic i...
