HAZARD I: Software for Fire Hazard Assessment
NIST Handbook 146, HAZARD I—Fire Hazard Assessment Method [1], represents the culmination of a long-term program aimed at placing the prediction of fire outcomes on an objective and scientific basis. In the 1970s, NIST supported Harvard University to develop numerical models that could predict the temperature in a room containing a fire. These early models were difficult to use and interpret; r...
متن کاملThe Evolution of HAZARD, the Fire Hazard Assessment Methodology
The United States alone spends about $700B per year on new and renovated construction. About 20% of this is to assure safety from unwanted fires, which includes the cost of insurance, to make families whole after fires and to recover from business loss. This is an enormous cost to endure every year. Combined with a growing construction market in other countries, this presents a major opportunit...
متن کاملHazard/Risk Assessment HAZARD ASSESSMENT OF TEMEPHOS APPLIED TO A SOUTHWEST FLORIDA, USA, SALT MARSH COMMUNITY
This investigation was undertaken to determine whether the mosquito larvicide temephos (applied as Abate 4-Et) created an environmental hazard for nontarget organisms in a southwest Florida salt marsh community. Field toxicity tests were performed during routine larvicide applications using larvae of salt marsh crabs (Aratus pesonii and Uca rapax) and adult Mysidopsis bahia. Laboratory toxicity...
متن کاملEndogenous Formation of Partnerships with Moral Hazard
We analyze the formation of partnerships as a sequential game with moral hazard within coalitions; once formed, partnerships compete a la Cournot in the marketplace. When moral hazard within coalitions is very severe, no partnership will form. However, we show that when moral hazard is not too severe the coalition structure will be either similar to or more concentrated than it is without moral...
متن کاملHazard Assessment Modeling: An Evolutionary Ensemble Approach
This paper presents a novel and effective genetic algorithm approach for generating computational models for hazard assessment. With millions of proposed chemicals being registered each year, it is impossible to come even remotely close to completing the battery of tests needed for the proper understanding of the toxic effects of these chemicals. Computer models can give quick, cheap, and envir...
