People often claim they cannot remember, and other people often doubt those claims. For example, during his 2007 trial, Vice-Presidential Chief of Staff I. Lewis ‘‘Scooter’’ Libby claimed that he could not remember mentioning the identity of a Central Intelligence Agency employee to other government officials or reporters. Jurors found it difficult to believe that Libby could have forgotten hav...

Protein aggregation is being found to be associated with an increasing number of human diseases. Aggregation can lead to a loss of function (lack of active protein) or to a toxic gain of function (cytotoxicity associated with protein aggregates). Although potentially harmful, protein sequences predisposed to aggregation seem to be ubiquitous in all kingdoms of life, which suggests an evolutiona...

To thoroughly figure out the distribution and formation mechanism of maritime accidents, this study proposes a domino effect model based on temporal association rules (TAR) to analyze mine secrets behind accident—the accident chains. In study, British Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) reports are gathered examined. Of which, Ro-Ro ships, general cargo container ships top three ship ty...

Abstract There is little empirical evidence on the predictive value of safety culture assessments (SCAs) in relation to how accident‐prone an organisation might be. Recently, Antonsen not just demonstrated a quantitative SCA mispredicted future outcomes, but actually showed inverse relationship between assessment and subsequent critical incident investigation findings. To add our understanding,...

Although vibration monitoring is a popular method to monitor and assess dynamic structures, quantification of linearity or nonlinearity of the dynamic responses remains a challenging problem. We investigate the delay vector variance (DVV) method in this regard in a comprehensive manner to establish the degree to which a change in signal nonlinearity can be related to system nonlinearity and how...

This study focuses on identifying accident-prone areas and analyzing the factors contributing to distribution of traffic accidents near highway ramps. A combined method kernel density estimation, spatial autocorrelation analysis, multivariate logistic regression analysis helped identify accident hotspots. Through data collection clustering characteristics in diversion merging were identified. F...

To know factors that hinder settlement accident casesin policies handle This study uses a sociological juridical approach, with descriptive analytical specification. data used are secondary obtained from literature study. were analyzed qualitative...

road transportation by way of automobiles is a very convenient means of transportation. today, the most detrimental consequence of developing transportation systems in a country is traffic accident that places a huge financial burden on society. this paper investigates the role of information systems in transportation safety that leads to improved planning and operation of the transportation sy...
