Generic is a mnemonic name, expressing the set of common features, behaviors or actions, relating to different aspects or elements of IT security system, like subjects, objects, assumptions for the security environment, organizational security policies, threats, security objectives for the TOE and its environment, security requirements for the environment, security functions, as well as vulnerabilities, risks and impacts. 

The book is intended for a primary audience comprised of professionals in the chemical industries, including those designated managers in business, research, and development, operations, health, safety and environment, security, and sustainable development. Yet, managers from other industries in the value chain of chemical companies will benefit from this text. Future decision-makers, such as students, are provided with a framework with which to lead in a world where social and environmental stewardship skills are just as important as technical, financial or marketing skills. 

Functionalized PTs have been investigated in various applications, e.g., their ability to detect, transduce, and amplify various physical or chemical informations into an electrical or an optical signal has led to the development of devices capable of detecting analytes or biomolecules in the field of environment, security, and biotechnology. Currently, functionalized PTs play a key role as active materials in the development of electrochromic devices and electronic devices, such as OLEDs, OFETs, and organic solar cells. 

For the implementation of data exchange in a collaborative environment secure platforms are commercially offered today on the market. Those platforms implement methods and solutions for IP protection based on encryption and portal technologies. 

The International Association of Oil Gas producers (OGP) is a unique global forum in which members identify and share best practices to achieve improvements in every aspect of health, safety, the environment, security, social responsibility, engineering and operations. 

GNP does not measure the quality of life, such as the quality of the environment, security from crime, health care, and the population health and longevity. 

Offshore ultra deepwater wells are now costing more than 50 million, and some weUs have cost more than 100 million. It is very difficult to justify weUs that cost this much given the risks involved in drilling the unknown. The challenge to the offshore industry is to drill safely and economically, which means technology of economics, with safety, environment, security, and personnel health all playing a large role. 

The world we live in is a highly customized environment tailored to maximize our comfort level. This comfort level (which pertains to our well-being, environment, security, transportation, information access, etc.) is acquired through our capacity to fabricate materials that do not exist in nature. This capacity is aided through our ability to understand what has been fabricated, how this interacts with its environment, and how this can be tailored to our needs. This understanding is provided through the act of analysis.

Sustained mutual growth and interdependence of the chemical and information communities should take account of several unique aspects of the chemical sciences. These include extensive and complex databases that characterize the chemical disciplines the importance of multiscale simulations that range from molecules to technological processes the global economic impact of the chemical industry and the industry s major influence on the nation s health, environment, security, and economic well-being. In planning the future of the chemical...

This case study concerns the initial design and redesign of a security cover assembly for a solenoid. The analysis only focuses on those critical aspects of the assembly of the product that must be addressed to meet the requirement that the electronics inside the unit are sealed from the outside environment. An FMEA Severity Rating (S) for the assembly was determined as S = 5, a warranty return if failure is experienced. 

The general purpose of ultimate disposal of hazardous wastes is to prevent the contamination of susceptible environments. Surface water runoff, ground water leaching, atmospheric volatilization, and biological accumulation are processes that should be avoided during the active life of the hazardous waste. As a rule, the more persistent a hazardous waste is (i.e., the greater its resistance to breakdown), the greater the need to isolate it from the environment. If the substance cannot be neutralized by chemical treatment or incineration and still maintains its hazardous qualities, the only alternative is usually to immobilize and bury it in a secure chemical burial site. 

For service environments in which erosion is anticipated, the wall thickness of the apparatus should be increased. This thickness allowance should secure that various types of corrosion or erosion do not reduce the apparatus wall thickness below that required for mechanical stability of the operation. Where thickness allowance cannot be provided, a proportionally more resistant material should be selected. 

As well as measurement errors due to the pressure measurement instrument itself, other errors related to pressure measurements must be considered. In ventilation applications a frequently measured quantity is the duct static pressure. This is determined by drilling in the duct a hole or holes in which a metal tube is secured. The rubber tube of the manometer is attached to the metal tube, and the pressure difference between the hole and the environment or some other pressure is measured. 

Conduit systems have the advantage of offering greater mechanical protection to enclosed conductors, but they can easily lose this advantage through corrosion if not properly maintained. A conduit system which corrodes on the inside can provide false security although tlie outside appears completely sound, the system may not contain an internal explosion. Extremely rapid corrosion will occur in salt-air environments for most conduit systems of ferrous materials. In offshore environments. 

In the case of Cleanser Chemicals, Inc., the company formed a multifunctional team to assess commonalities across its existing Safety, Loss Prevention, Security, Medical, Industrial Hygiene and Environment functions. As a result of this assessment, many common requirements and potential work processes were identified, including ... 

The United Nations officially came into existence at the end of World War II on October 24, 1945 to help stabilize international relations and better secure peace. Through the years, the UN has greatly expanded its mission to include other issues such as development and protecting the environment. Because energy is such a key piece of the develop-... 

At first PNL focused on nuclear technology and the environmental and health effects of radiation, but through the years expanded its mission to cover nearly every field of basic science to solve problems in the areas of environment, energy, and national security. Environmental issues and cleanup still encompass two-thirds of PNL work in the 1990s, but PNL has strengthened its role in regional electric power issues as well. 

In many cases, it is necessary to complement physical security by the installation of an intruder alarm system in order to achieve the standard of security commensurate to the risk exposure. The scope of protection to be afforded by the alarm system depends on the security risk, but it may embrace fences, windows, doors, roofs, walls, internal areas, yards and external open areas, and vehicles inside and outside buildings. There is a comprehensive range of detection devices, but the choice of detector is critical to ensure that it provides the desired level of protection and is stable in the particular environment.
