in this paper, efforts are made to compare the safety of steel moment resistant frames designed according to different editions of the iranian code of practice for seismic resistant design of buildings. also, failure risk of a low and medium height frame which designed for high and low seismicity regions according to three editions of the code are evaluated. first, the testing cases were design...

We link the Risk Management Program (RMP) database of accident histories collected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the period 1996-2000 under section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act Amendments and OSHA reported Occupational Illnesses and Injuries (OII) for the same period. We explore various statistical associations between OIIs and RMP-reported accidents. If we think of OIIs as ref...

Producing companies aspire to availability despite appearing disruptions. To ens availability safety stocksare required. Howeversaf additional capital commitment and compensates d of solving the reasons.The intention is to increa production by configuring the production plan systematically. Thus the safety stock can be red proportion of inventory in producing companies i inventory, schedule dev...

Long life and critical software systems require high availability. Therefore, their reconfiguration should be achieved dynamically during their running time. This type of updating is not safe as static update because it lacks test phase in order to validate the modifications. This paper discusses different sources of risk with runtime reconfiguring, it presents Message-based Interaction in Comp...

A session type is an abstraction of a sequence of heterogeneous values sent over one communication channel. Session types can be used for specifying stream-based Internet protocols. We consider session types in a setting with asynchronous communication over buffered channels. Due to buffering, a process may write ahead before the reading process picks up the data. Thus the types of the two ends...

Extensive work has been carried out by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in the development of a proposed geologic repository at Yucca Mountain (YM), Nevada, for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste. In support of this development and an associated license application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the DOE completed an extensive performance assessment (PA) for the pr...

objective: the article arises from a research project investigating the effectiveness of safety training on changing attitudes toward safety issues. followed by the training intervention was observed that employees’ helplessness decreased. the researchers have come to the idea of investigating how safety training can reduce perceived helplessness. thus, this research examined the effectiveness ...
