Over the last decades, nanomaterials have been incorporated on several products, from creams to space suits. The incorporation of nanomaterials into products has blow up the potential applications of nanotechnology for which revenues reached 1 trillion dollars. Carbon nanotubes represent a third of all nanomaterials in those products. Development of new products involves a life cycle. This cycle starts...
Under the SESAR Programme, the European Air Traffic Management (ATM) industry has adopted an approach of 'design-in security' by applying security assessment from the beginning of the development lifecycle. This has necessitated a convergence of different approaches to security assessment from the different partners. A number of challenges have been apparent in developing both the method to be used...
Regional environmental risk assessment and management mainly focused on middle-scale. By analyzing the formation mechanism of regional environmental risk, the scale and intensity of regional environmental risk can be assessed on the base of superposing different risks, which can provide technical support to make decisions for regional environmental risk management. Considering the relationship between...
Fiddlehead has been used in traditional Chinese medicine since Han Dynasty. However fiddlehead are still underutilized and hence wasted. In order to better utilize fiddlehead resources, the drug safety of benzene/alcohol extractives from fiddlehead were analyzed by GC/MS. Relative content of each component was determined by area normalization. The main ingredients of benzene/alcohol extractives of...
Researchers make unceasing efforts to enhance safety through the years. Some researches are to prevent accidents or failures of systems and human errors. Others are to predict and prevent natural disasters. As a result we are materially affluent and safe. Nevertheless we can not completely eliminate any risk and insecurity in daily life. We have a lot of anxieties about economics problems, aging problems,...
Work related accidents in the construction industry are at an unacceptably high level. Better education (particularly related to re-training) across all skill levels in the industry is seen as an integral part of any solution. Traditional lecture-based courses often fail to re-create the dynamic realities of managing health and safety (H&S) on-site. They therefore do not sufficiently engage the...
