The paper describes a method for design of marine structures with increased safety for environment, considering also the required investment costs as well as the aspects of risk distribution onto the maritime stakeholders. Practically, the paper seeks to answer what is the optimal amount that should be invested into certain safety measure for any given vessel. Due to the uneven distribution of ...

Aircraft industry faces many challenges to reduce both operational and maintenance cost. One of the possible ways for reducing these costs is the introduction of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs are already finding a variety of applications for both safety-critical and non-safety critical distributed systems. This paper deals with the application of WSNs for aircraft structural health moni...

Failure of the quay walls due to earthquakes results in severe economic loss. Because of hazards threatening such inexpensive nodes of national and international transportation networks, seismic design of quay walls is still an evolving topic in marine structural engineering. This study investigates the sensitivity of the gravity-type quay wall stability respect to uncertain soil and seismic pr...

the aim of this review is focusing on the most important safety issues in cardiovascular mri (magnetic resonance imaging) which are categorized as: 1-safety items in patients who referred for stress cardiac mr studies. 2-safety consideration that we must know when a patient with cardiovascular devices referred for any (cardiovascular or non-cardiovascular) mri with focus on new protocols accord...

Fledgling steps in the form of policy measures, surveillance mechanisms and safety initiatives have been taken in the Indian healthcare context to address the increasing evidence base of patient safety events. The paper examines whether structural and processual measures alone would contribute to safer care. The article posits that healthcare organisations in India need to look beyond the struc...

lack of enough awareness about the right ways of finding shelter, principles of building construction, structural and non-structural retrofitting, lack of enough information about the active faults and earthquakes knowledge are among those issues which impose financial and non-financial expenses on a country after an earthquake. making an attitude correction and forming new beliefs and behavior...

Background: Safety of contractors is one of the key safety challenges at construction. Safety training, as an essential prerequisite for achieving safety qualification certificates by contractors, could decrease accident rates in the construction. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of training construction contractors in safety issues in minimizing occupational accidents in a five-ye...
