Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Analysis in Handling and Storage of Petroleum ProductsGuarascio Massimo, Lombardi Mara, Massi FedericaIncrease in productivity and technological system innovation have resulted a boost in the specific activity of use and handling petroleum Products the chemical and physical properties of petroleum products represent an advantage when they are used for its own uses, but may result in accidental scenarios which can cause serious damage to people and to environment. The quantitative risk analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,151 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Development of Parameter Estimation on Hazard Rate of Trivariate Weibull DistributionIrfan Wahyudi, Purhadi, Irhamah, SutiknoIn this study, the interrelation concepts of trivariate distribution function, trivariate survival function, trivariate probability density function and trivariate hazard rate function of trivariate Weibull distribution are presented. The goal of this contribution is to estimate the trivariate Weibull hazard rate parameters. To reach this goal, we will use an analitical approach in estimating called the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 11 Aug 2012 · 8,923 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Liquefaction Return Period for Bangalore Based on Standard Penetration Test Data: Performance Based ApproachK. S. Vipin, T. G. SitharamProblem statement: The conventional liquefaction evaluation is based on a deterministic approach. However in this method the uncertainty in the earthquake loading is not properly taken into account. However recent research in this field indicates that this uncertainty in the earthquake loading has to be considered in the liquefaction potential evaluation. Moreover the evaluation of liquefaction return period is not … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,741 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarthquake Risk Management Strategy Plan Using Nonparametric Estimation of Hazard RateAflaton Amiri, Ramin TabatabaeiEarthquake risk is defined as the product of hazard and vulnerability studies. The main aims of earthquake risk management are to make plans and apply those for reducing human losses and protect properties from earthquake hazards. Natural risk managers are studying to identify and manage the risk from an earthquake for highly populated urban areas. They want to put some … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,744 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Slope Assessment Systems for Predicting Landslides of Cut Slopes in Granitic and Meta-sediment FormationsSuhaimi Jamaludin, Bujang B.K. Huat, Husaini OmarIn Malaysia, slope assessment systems (SAS) are widely used in assessing the instability of slope or the probability of occurrence and the likely severity of landslides. These SAS can be derived based on either one particular approach or combination of several approaches of landslide assessments and prediction. This study overviews four slope assessment systems (SAS) developed in Malaysia for predicting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,909 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Slope Assessment System in Predicting Landslides along Roads Underlain by Granitic FormationBujang B.K. Huat, S. JamaludinA slope assessment is to estimate the probability of occurrence and likely severity of landslides in a given area. This study evaluates two existing Slope Assessment Systems (SAS) for predicting landslide at the micro level of assessment developed by the Public Works Department of Malaysia, namely the Slope Information Management System (SIMS) and the Slope Management and Risk Tracking System … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,574 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIs Air Pollution Controlled Enough? “Tapered Probabilities” AnswerRamalingam ShanmugamAir pollution is dangerous sespecially to the residents in cities, as it causes lung, heart, or respiratory illness. Public health professionals ponder whether the air pollution is significantly controilled. The amount of existing air pollution is measurable, but not its regulated level, which is therefore as a parameter in a novel manner in this article. However, there is no suitable … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 6 Nov 2017 · 12,733 accessesView PDF Cite
