The development of different sensor technologies and powerful signal processing procedures allows the automotive industry to develop new E/E-based safety systems, which may assist and protect drivers and also other traffic participants in very complex situations. The complexity of possible use cases for safety systems on the one hand generates on the other hand a variety of feasible safety conc...

In this paper we suggest a new approach to design of the adaptive network safety control mechanisms. This approach is based on the fuzzy logic theory and allows to formalize both quantitative and qualitative parameters of the network safety system. Also it is suggested an algorithm for design of the model for the adaptive network safety control mechanism with safety functional requirements form...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Iran's hospitals have been considerably affected by disasters during last decade. To address this, health system of I.R.Iran has taken an initiative to assess disaster safety of the hospitals using an adopted version of Hospital Safety Index (HSI). This article presents the results of disaster safety assessment in 224 Iran's hospitals. METHODS A self-assessment approa...

background and objectives: medical errors and adverse events have recently turned into one of the predominant concerns of health-policy makers and health services providers. promoting safety culture is fundamental to sustainable safety improvement in healthcare settings. the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of training on nurses’ attitudes towards safety culture.   methods: a cro...

introduction: patient safety culture is an important part of improvement in the safety of health care. knowing its present status is required for development of safety culture. the present study aimed to evaluate the current status of patient safety culture in hospitals of three central provinces of iran. method: the present cross-sectional study was performed in teaching hospitals of tehran, a...

In this report, we explore the matching of structures to functional needs by comparing previously reported data of maximal oxygen consumption and the development of the lung in the leaf-eared mouse Phyllotis darwini in warm and cold environments. We discuss whether the state of structural design is commensurate with functional needs from regulated morphogenesis as predicted by the hypothesis of...

to P1: This paper describes how methods taken from safety-critical practises can be used in development of business-critical software. The emphasis is on the early phases of product development, and on use together with the Rational Unified Process. One important part of the early project phases is to define safety requirements for the system. This means that in addition to satisfying the need ...

ISO 26262 is a functional safety standard that targets the automotive domain. This standard focuses on single system certification and does not contain guidelines to certify product lines. Thus, to be ISO 26262-compliant, for each product of a product line, a company must provide almost from scratch all the work products required by the standard, including a safety case. Current product lines e...
