Principles of Risk Analysis Decision Making Under Uncertainty

Principles of Risk Analysis Decision Making Under Uncertainty

In every decision problem there are things we know and things we do not know. Risk analysis science uses the best available evidence to assess what we know while it is carefully intentional in the way it addresses the importance of the things we do not know in the evaluation of decision choices and decision outcomes. The field of risk analysis science continues to expand and grow and the second edition of Principles of Risk Analysis: Decision Making Under Uncertainty responds to this evolution with several significant changes. The language has been updated and expanded throughout the text and the book features several new areas of expansion including five new chapters. The book’s simple and straightforward style—based on the author’s decades of experience as a risk analyst trainer and educator—strips away the mysterious aura that often accompanies risk analysis. Features: Details the tasks of risk management risk assessment and risk communication in a straightforward conceptual manner Provides sufficient detail to empower professionals in any discipline to become risk practitioners Expands the risk management emphasis with a new chapter to serve private industry and a growing public sector interest in the growing practice of enterprise risk management Describes dozens of quantitative and qualitative risk assessment tools in a new chapter Practical guidance and ideas for using risk science to improve decisions and their outcomes is found in a new chapter on decision making under uncertainty Practical methods for helping risk professionals to tell their risk story are the focus of a new chapter Features an expanded set of examples of the risk process that demonstrate the growing applications of risk analysis As before this book continues to appeal to professionals who want to learn and apply risk science in their own professions as well as students preparing for professional careers. This book remains a discipline free guide to the principles of risk analysis that is accessible to all interested practitioners. Files used in the creation of this book and additional exercises as well as a free student version of Palisade Corporation’s Decision Tools Suite software are available with the purchase of this book. A less detailed introduction to the risk analysis science tasks of risk management risk assessment and risk communication is found in Primer of Risk Analysis: Decision Making Under Uncertainty Second Edition ISBN: 978-1-138-31228-9. | Principles of Risk Analysis Decision Making Under Uncertainty

Advanced Rail Geotechnology – Ballasted Track

Advanced Rail Geotechnology – Ballasted Track

Ballast plays a vital role in transmitting and distributing the train wheel loads to the underlying track substructure. The load-bearing capacity safe train speed and the levels of noise and vibration as well as passenger comfort depend on the behaviour of ballast through particle interlocking and the corresponding deformation of this granular assembly. Attrition and breakage of ballast occur progressively under heavy and continual cyclic loading causing track deterioration and rail misalignment affecting safety while exacerbating the intensity of track maintenance. In the absence of realistic computational models the track substructure is traditionally designed using mostly empirical approaches. In this book the authors present the detailed information on the strength deformation and degradation aspects of fresh and recycled ballast under monotonic cyclic and impact loading using innovative geotechnical testing devices. A constitutive model for ballast incorporating particle breakage is presented representing a more realistic stress–strain response. The mathematical formulations and numerical models are validated using controlled experimental simulations and fully instrumented field trials. Revised ballast gradation is described to provide greater track resiliency and extended longevity. The book also provides a detailed description of geosynthetics for substructure improvement considering track deterioration caused by particle degradation fouling and impeded drainage. New to this second edition are extensive discussions on subgrade soil stabilisation causes and mechanisms of soil fluidisation (mud pumping) under cyclic loading and preventive and remedial measures to alleviate undue instability of ballast tracks. This book should prove most beneficial for final-year civil engineering students and for postgraduate teaching and learning. It is an ideal supplement for practising railway engineers and researchers engaged in the challenging tasks of future track design for heavier and faster trains. | Advanced Rail Geotechnology – Ballasted Track

The Routledge Handbook of International Law and Anthropocentrism

The Routledge Handbook of International Law and Anthropocentrism

This handbook explores contextualises and critiques the relationship between anthropocentrism – the idea that human beings are socially and politically at the centre of the cosmos – and international law. While the critical study of anthropocentrism has been under way for several years it has either focused on specific subfields of international law or emanated from two distinctive strands inspired by the animal rights movement and deep ecology. This handbook offers a broader study of anthropocentrism in international law as a global legal system and academic field. It assesses the extent to which current international law is anthropocentric contextualises that claim in relation to broader critical theories of anthropocentrism and explores alternative ways for international law to organise relations between humans and other living and non-living entities. This book will interest international lawyers environmental lawyers legal theorists social theorists and those concerned with the philosophy and ethics of ecology and the non-human realms.

Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs (PKW 2017) February 22-24

Since the first implementation by Electricité de France on the Goulours dam (France) in 2006 the Piano Key Weir has become a more and more applied solution to increase the discharge capacity of existing spillways. In parallel several new large dam projects have been built with such a flood control structure usually in combination with gates. Today more than 25 Piano Key Weirs are in operation or under construction all over the world. More than 15 years of research and development have enabled detailed investigations of the hydraulic and structural behaviour of the Piano Key Weir complex structure and have provided more and more accurate design equations. Following the proceedings of the first two workshops held in Liege (Belgium – 2011) and Paris (France – 2013) Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III collects the contributions presented by people with varied background from researchers to practitioners at the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs - PKW 2017 (22-24 February 2017 Qui Nhon Vietnam). The papers reviewed and accepted by an International Scientific Committee summarize the current state-of-the-art on Piano Key Weirs from a theoretical to a practical point of view and present most of the main projects in operation or under construction. Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III is thus a reference for students practitioners and researchers interested in Dams Engineering. | Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs (PKW 2017) February 22-24

Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants 3-Volume Set

Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants 3-Volume Set

This new 3-volume set provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that mediate biosynthesis accumulation and degradation of plant metabolites so as to employ novel strategies to improve crop production and enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Abiotic stresses such as drought high salt cold heat UV radiation heavy metal pollution etc. are increasingly responsible for restricting plant growth and agricultural production and are becoming more alarming due to threats from global climate change. To combat these threats it is imperative to study the underlying mechanisms of stress tolerance from diverse metabolites and the biosynthesis pathways for metabolite production to maintain osmotic balance under diverse environmental stresses. Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants provides that understanding. Volume 1: Secondary Metabolites in Environmental Stress Tolerance focuses exclusively on the diverse secondary metabolites that play a major role in the adaptation of plants to the environment and in overcoming stress conditions as well as their implications in enhancing tolerance mechanisms. The chapters in this section review and integrate the currently available information on the protective role rendered by a wide array of antioxidative secondary metabolites and their regulation during diverse environmental stress. Volume 2: Trace Elements in Environmental Stress Tolerance throws light on the different inorganic trace elements including metal nanoparticles that help to deal with various environmental stresses. While these elements at high level create considerable phytotoxicity and halt metabolic and enzymatic activity they also promote growth and development in limited quantity so that they have significant potential in revamping plant morphology and physiology under stressed conditions. Hence optimum concentration management of these elements can help to mitigate world hunger and contribute toward sustainable agriculture and food security under challenging environments. Volume 3: Sustainable Approaches for Enhancing Environmental Stress Tolerance focuses on the agronomic and biochemical approaches as well as biotechnological and high-throughput technologies including the prospects of genetic engineering epigenetics and the latest CRISPR/Cas technology in generating stress-tolerant plants. The volume provides a clear road map for the implementation of techniques for improving abiotic stress tolerance in plants for better sustenance. Key features: Provides an advanced understanding of the mechanisms of action of secondary metabolites and trace elements in environmental stress tolerance as well as the different agronomic and biotechnological methods that enhances stress tolerance Looks at the overall metabolic pathways and genetic engineering giving a holistic view of plant-level studies of diverse abiotic stresses affecting different metabolic pathways Provides the groundwork to help researchers in designing future programs for identifying novel genes and proteins and targeting proper pathways to develop climate-resilient plants Altogether the three-volume Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants will enhance our understanding of plant responses to environmental stresses and enable implementation of programs and practices that can help us to develop climate-resilient plants with better performance for better yield and quality. | Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants 3-Volume Set

Private Correspondence between Sir Harry Parkes and Edmund Hammond 1869-1872

Private Correspondence between Sir Harry Parkes and Edmund Hammond 1869-1872

This is a new series which publishes for the first time the correspondences of Sir Harry Smith Parkes (1828 – 1885) the second British Minister of Japan and includes the complete transcriptions of his ‘private’ letters to and from Edmund Hammond permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs who was the decision maker about major issues in the British relation to Asia and his successors at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Chronologically arranged the series covers all such letters during his 18 years in Japan and with the first volume for Bakumatsu the end of the Shogunate era. Parkes arrived in Japan in 1865 as the second Minister Plenipotentiary and Consul General of the United Kingdom to Japan and stayed at the position till 1883. He was one of the few who observed Japan during its turbulent period of Westernization and supported the reformers to establish the new government. His efforts and services alongside his secretaries such as Ernest Satow George Aston and A. B. Freeman-Mitford saw the modernization of Japan starting under the strong influence of Britain. Despite his leading role between Japan and the West in early years his days and activities in Japan are less known and not widely studied due to the lack of primary source information as his experiences remained unpublished unlike his predecessor Rutherford Alcock who authored The Capital of the Tycoon or Ernest Satow’s A Diplomat in Japan. Apart from two volumes in Parkes’ biography by F. V. Dickins no contemporary sources of his life are available. This series of private correspondence of Sir Harry Parkes will fill such a gap and will be of interest for scholars and student of Japan and Anglo-Japanese history. All correspondence included in the volumes are fully annotated. Also included are his letters with other members of the ministry and documents such as conference minutes which will provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject. | Private Correspondence between Sir Harry Parkes and Edmund Hammond 1869-1872

Multi-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography Principles Practice and Applications

Multi-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography Principles Practice and Applications

Two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) is finding increasingly wide application principally due to the analysis of mixtures of moderate to high complexity. Many industries are developing increasingly complex products that are challenging the separation capabilities of state-of-the-art 1D-LC and need new analytical methodologies with substantially more resolving power and 2D-LC meets that need. This text organized by two leaders in the field establishes a sound fundamental basis for the principles of the technique followed by a discussion of important practical considerations. The book begins with an introduction to multi-dimensional separations and a discussion of the history and development of the technique over the past 40 years followed by several chapters that provide a theoretical basis for development of 2D-LC methods including foundational concepts regarding separation complementarity under-sampling and dynamics of liquid chromatography separations. Instrumentation for 2D-LC is discussed extensively including practical aspects such as interface selection and setup. Building on this foundation two separate chapters are focused on method development for non-comprehensive and comprehensive separations followed by a chapter dedicated to data analysis. Finally applications of 2D-LC in several fields ranging from pharmaceutical analysis to polymer science are summarized. The book is an important resource for both students and practitioners who are already using 2D-LC or are interested in getting started in the field. Key Features: Demonstrates the conditions under which a 2D-LC method should be considered as an alternative to a 1D-LC method Establishes a sound fundamental basis of the principles of the technique followed by guidelines for method optimization Provides a single source for technical knowledge advances and practical guidance described in recent literature Assists with the initial decision to develop a 2D-LC method Guides the reader in developing a high-quality method that meets the needs of their application | Multi-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography Principles Practice and Applications
