In order to define these aspects, providing a risk decision basis to assess the permissive logics matrix, this paper presents a hazard evaluation approach which applies HAZOP and LOPA methodologies to the coke drums operation. The application of this approach to a Petrobras DCU coke drums cycle raised the discussion about specific aspects of these methodologies, such as the nodes definition the HAZOP scenarios consequence endpoints which are the interest of LOPA the HAZOP cause-by-cause documentation approach and the criteria used to select a HAZOP scenario for the LOPA analysis. The disadvantages of perfonning HAZOP and LOPA analyses in two separated facditated session were also discussed.

Figure Al.4.4. The definition of the Euler angles (0, ( ), x) that relate the orientation of the molecule fixed (x, y, z) axes to the (X, Y, Z) axes. The origin of both axis systems is at the nuclear centre of mass O, and the node line ON is directed so that a right handed screw is driven along ON in its positive direction by twisting it from Z to z through 9 where 0 < 9 < n. ( ) and x have the ranges 0 to In. x is measured from the node line.

Consider, for definiteness, a set of otherwise identical lowest-level components of a system, so that the hierarchy is a tree of constant depth. Since we assume that the components are all identical, the only distinction among the various nodes of the hierarchy consists of the structure of the subtrees. Now suppose we have a tree T that consists of /3 subtrees branching out from the root at the top level. We need to determine the number of different interactions that can occur on each level, independent of the structure of each subtree i.e. isomorphic copies of trees do not contribute to our count. We therefore need to find the number of nonisomorphic subtrees. We can do this recursively. 

An arbitrary endpoint can also be marked as "root". A tree with a root will be called a planted tree the vertices different from the root are nodes. If no root is marked, the tree is called an unrooted or free tree. From a topological point of view, two trees with the same structure are identical the exact definition of this and some similar, less familiar notions, will be discussed in Sections 34-35. In the sequel, we use the following notations ... 

The following example may serve as a commentary to this definition If B contains exactly p vertices then all the branches originating in P comprise together at least p vertices but exactly p -I nodes. See Fig. 2 (a), (6), the branches originating in M. 

The term "node" has a specific meaning and is used exclusively for vertices which are not roots of planted trees, in contrast to D. Konig s definition Kbnig, 1, p. 1. 

In the case of the difference scheme for the Dirichlet problem (24)-(26) of Section 1 the definition (4) of connectedness coincides with another definition from Section 1. The very definition implies that the point P may be boundary and, hence, the connectedness is to be understood that every point of the boundary belongs to the neighborhood Patt [P) of at least one inner node. 

The construction starts at the root node of the tree, where all the available (x, y) pairs are initially placed. One identifies the particular split or test, s, that maximizes a given measure of information gain (Shannon and Weaver, 1964), 0(.s). The definition of a split, s, involves both the choice of the decision variable and the threshold to be used. Then, the (x, y) root node pairs are divided according to the best split found, and assigned to one of the children nodes emanating fi-om it. The information gain measure, 0is), for a particular parent node t, is... 

Let us briefly discuss the theoretical results providing the basis for the improved efficiency of branch-and-bound algorithms. Let F = [x g(.x) lower-bound test. Then, the set L, defined by L =Fr X%, contains all the partial solutions, which can be terminated only by an equivalence relation. Recall that, by definition, no node in X% can be terminated by a dominance rule. 

Interferon-a2b has diverse mechanisms of action, including antiviral activity, impact on cellular metabolism and differentiation, and antitumor activity.42 The antitumor activity is due to a combination of direct antiproliferative effect on tumor cells and indirect immune-mediated effects.42 Interferon-a2b is currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as adjuvant therapy for patients who are free of disease after curative surgical resection but are at high risk of MM recurrence. This includes patients with bulky disease or regional lymph node involvement such as stage IIB, IIC, or III disease.43 It is controversial if interferon-a2b (IFN) should be offered as adjuvant therapy for every high-risk MM patient. The reason is because clinical trials with different doses of IFN have not proved definitively that IFN improves overall patient survival. 

The transport of information from sensors to the central nervous system and of instructions from the central nervous system to the various organs occurs through electric impulses transported by nerve cells (see Fig. 6.17). These cells consist of a body with star-like projections and a long fibrous tail called an axon. While in some molluscs the whole membrane is in contact with the intercellular liquid, in other animals it is covered with a multiple myeline layer which is interrupted in definite segments (nodes of Ranvier). The Na+,K+-ATPase located in the membrane maintains marked ionic concentration differences in the nerve cell and in the intercellular liquid. For example, the squid axon contains 0.05 MNa+, 0.4 mK+, 0.04-0.1 m Cl-, 0.27 m isethionate anion and 0.075 m aspartic acid anion, while the intercellular liquid contains 0.46 m Na+, 0.01 m K+ and 0.054 m Cl-. 

Thus except for timing this definition is essentially the same as the previous one. It is obvious that the two models are the same. Going from the linear to the flow diagram model is obvious in the reverse construction note that if we must make a correspondence between nodes and addresses such that the statement in the flow diagram given address k is an assignment that does not lead into tie statement given address k+1, then we add a forced transfer as k+1 and readdress the rest of the statements. 

DEFINITION Let G be a directed labelled graph and G a subgraph of G. We call G a single entry subgraph of G if there is a node n in G, called the entry node of G such that... 

The definition of a block given here is really a bottom-up definition, building large blocks fran smaller subblocks. When one actually constructs a block structured program, one proceeds top-down - first defining the role of the outermost block (what process it is to realize), then that of its immediate subblocks, and so forth. A single node (labelled by a process for which one intends to build a submodule) can be considered a block. The equivalence of the top-down and bottom-up definitions can be justified by the block replacement lemma, stated without proof.

It is obvious that the basic blocks in part (1) of the definition of well-structured subscheme are line-like, if we allow the NULL node graph to be so described. We need only examine the three forms of composition of blocks in (2) - (4) of the definition of well-structured, to see that they take line-like graphs into line-like graphs. 

Block composition, (2), and IF-THEN composition, (3), do not affect cycle domination so we need consider part (B) of the definition of line-like only for WHILE composition, (4). But the query node q cycle dominates all of B and these are the only cycle dominations added in so if (B) is line-like then is line-like. ... 

We wish to show that if P is a flow diagram with a line-like graph, then P is well-structured. The plan of attack is to divide P into smaller line-like pieces and proceed by induction on the number of nodes in the graph of P. To facilitate this division of P, we introduce another definition and another lemma. 

DEFINITION For nodes n and in in a single entry single exit graph, let... 

We proceed by induction on G, the number of nodes in G. If G has only one node, this node cannot be labeled with a test statement or else it would either have two arcs leading out of G or else there would be a self-loop which is forbidden by the definition of line-like. Hence, the lemma is true for G = 1. ...
