In the Netherlands, substantial amounts of hazardous materials are transported by road. Quantitative risk analyses are conducted to indicate the risks associated with these transport activities. In general, classified release volumes accompanied by probabilities are used in these risk analyses. Still, the application is limited to risk analysis instead of also being used for emergency response ...

Objective: To estimate the rates of recurrence, cure, and treatment abandonment in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis treated with a four-drug fixed-dose combination (FDC) regimen, as well as to evaluate possible associated factors. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study involving 208 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis enrolled in the Hospital Tuber...

This study examined the effects of age and driving experience on the ability to detect hazards while driving; namely, hazard perception. Studies have shown that young-inexperienced drivers are more likely than experienced drivers to suffer from hazard perception deficiencies. However, it remains to be determined if this skill deteriorates with advancing age. Twenty-one young-inexperienced, 19 e...

One of the major reasons for road accidents now a days is due to driver fatigue. Be it long distant travelling or drunk driving drowsy state leads to risky crashes which is hazardous to lives as well. To overcome such accidents some method has to be developed that is feasible to all vehicle drivers . This paper is a survey based on various methods for preventing road accidents and designs on dr...

We examined the predictive utility of the Roadwise Review and the Hazard Perception Test on a standardized driving assessment using both conventional and alternative scoring criteria in a sample of health older adults (N = 57). Our results indicate that both tests can predict passing or failing the road evaluation. The Hazard Perception Test was more consistent in predicting total points and ha...

Many research works are going on to save or protect the environment from different hazardous or toxic gases, chemicals and other harmful effects. Different construction materials (both renewable & non-renewable) are used while constructing any structure, road, railway, tunnel, etc. But every Engineer must know the concept of sustainable development and the particular application of construction...

Rhamnetin (Rhm), 3-O-methylquercetin (3MQ), and Rhamnazin (Rhz) are methylated derivatives of quercetin commonly found in fruits and vegetables that possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) displays several important roles during acute inflammation; therefore, this study aimed at investigating new compounds able to inhibit this enzyme, besides evaluating cre...

An explosion accident from a road tanker while carrying hazardous materials can have dangerous effect on users and the surrounding area through which passes. Based evidence of case involving reported, it shows that this cause death destruction to property. In Malaysia, several cases accidents tankers also occurred. Among methods used determine impact is use consequences analysis method. Current...
