Material software

A product may include service, hardware, processed materials, software or a combination thereof. 

Nuclear Suppliers Group a select group of nuclear supplier coimtries dedicated to nuclear nonproliferation that establishes the Trigger List (see definition) and Dual-use List (see definition) in formulating guidelines for the export of nuclear materials, equipment and technology and for the transfer of nuclear-related dual-use nuclear equipment, materials, software and related technology, respectively. 

We report on all areas of plastics processing for every kind of application—from toys to electronics and disposable packaging to automobile and appliance parts. We provide practical problem-solving assistance as well as buyers guides to new or little-known categories of machinery, raw materials, software, or services. We also provide monthly summaries of business and market news, updates on resin prices, analysis of regulatory developments that will affect our readers, and quarterly surveys of readers capacity utilization and machine-hour pricing rates. 

Further authors make a difference between systems, systems of systems (which are built by components that are large-scale systems), mega systems and intelligence-based systems which are able to comprehend, understand and profit from experience in order to adapt to changes of their environment [8]. A system is made up by the complex networking of resources such as manpower, equipment, facility, material, software, hardware and so on. Resources are to be considered as subsystems which interact with each other within or beyond the surrounding system. A system is characterized by inputs, outputs, internal processes and mechanisms as well as constraints [9]. 

Definition of Product It is often thought that product only refers to the finished product for use by the end users. In QSR, product does not necessarily mean the finished product ready on the market but any result fiom each of the processes involved in design control . The product is any result from an activity, process or a series of activities/processes which may include service, hardware, processed materials, software, or a combination thereof. So in this chapter, product means a result from at least one activity or process from the start to the end.

Special software (HILLGUS) was also developed for material characterizations such as the determination of the modulus of elasticity for building materials.

The assessment of the contribution of a product to the fire severity and the resulting hazard to people and property combines appropriate product flammabihty data, descriptions of the building and occupants, and computer software that includes the dynamics and chemistry of fires. This type of assessment offers benefits not available from stand-alone test methods quantitative appraisal of the incremental impact on fire safety of changes in a product appraisal of the use of a given material in a number of products and appraisal of the differing impacts of a product in different buildings and occupancies. One method, HAZARD I (11), has been used to determine that several commonly used fire-retardant—polymer systems reduced the overall fire hazard compared to similar nonfire retarded formulations (12). 

A computer file of about 19,000 peak wavenumbers and intensities, along with search software, is distributed by the Infrared Data Committee of Japan (IRDC). Donated spectra, which are evaluated by the Coblentz Society in coUaboration with the Joint Committee on Atomic and Molecular Physical Data (JCAMP), are digitized and made avaUable (64). Almost 25,000 ir spectra are avaUable on the SDBS system developed by the NCLl as described. A project was initiated at the University of California, Riverside, in 1986 for the constmction of a database of digitized ftir spectra. The team involved also developed algorithms for spectra evaluation (75). Other sources of spectral Hbraries include Sprouse Scientific, Aston Scientific, and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). 

Kinetic studies have benefited immensely from microcomputers. Whereas dedicated software is often necessary for interfacing to specific instmments, data analysis can be carried out using readily available software materials capable of producing high quaUty graphical output. Most recentiy, it has become common to measure concentrations in some way that produces digital data that is entered automatically into the computer (see Computer technology). 

Laboratory Information Management System. The QC lab must analy2e raw material, in-process, and finished product samples adhere to cahbration schedules record data and perform statistical analyses. These activities lend themselves to the appHcation of software packages such as a laboratory information management system (LIMS) (qv). An inexpensive LIMS is within the reach of even small laboratories. 

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) emerged in the 1980s as a significant tool for fluid dynamics both in research and in practice, enabled by rapid development in computer hardware and software. Commercial CFD software is widely available. Computational fluid dynamics is the numerical solution of the equations or continuity and momentum (Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible Newtonian fluids) along with additional conseiwation equations for energy and material species in order to solve problems of nonisothermal flow, mixing, and chemical reaction. 

Adequate support from the facility staff is absolutely essential. The facility staff must help the analysis team gather pertinent documents (e.g., PSilDs, procedures, software descriptions, material inventories, meteorological data, population data) and must describe current operating and maintenance practices. The facility staff must then critique the logic model(s) and calculation(s) to ensure that the assumptions are correct and that the results seem reasonable. The facility staff should also be involved in developing any recommendations to reduce risk so they will fully understand the rationale behind all proposed improvements and can help ensure that the proposed improvements are feasible. Table 12 summarizes the types of facility resources and personnel needed for a typical QRA.
