The third type of risk is to do with what is referred to as RAM. This topic, which is discussed in detail in Chapter 20, is related to troubleshooting but implies a higher degree of predictability. Based on historical records, the failure rates and repair times of equipment items can be predicted and maintenance schedules can be set up so as to preemptively address potential problems. Management systems such as Risk-Based Maintenance and Risk-Based Inspection are often integrated with the RAM program. Investments in availability improvement programs are often very attractive because such investments have a disproportionate effect on profitability. 

Reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) programs are an integral part of any risk management system. Note Some companies use the letters RAM to mean Risk Assessment Matrix.)... 

If the RAM program is effective at squeezing more production from existing equipment, it may be possible to postpone or cancel plans to build expansion facilities. 

Although the focus of a RAM program is to improve profitability, it is also likely to enhance safety and environmental performance for the following reasons. 

The Pascal code was updated to handle four channels. To follow the inspection speed all raw measuring data were captured and stored in the computer. All data for one coil could be stored in the computer memory (RAM) and transferred to the disk before inspection of the next coil. Evaluation of the data could be performed on-line or later using a special evaluation program. 

The memory units within the computer — known as random access memory (RAM) — must be capable of change as needed to run software programs. 

SCREEN will run on an IBM-PC compatible personal computer with at least 2S6K of RAM. The program will run with or without a math coprocessor chip. Execution time will be greatly enhanced with a math coprocessor chip present (about a factor of S in computer time) and will also benefit from the use of a hard disk drive. 

Minimum computer requirements to run THERdbASE are a 486 CPU, IBM or clone, at leasi 8 MB of RAM, at least 40 MB of disk space, color VGA monitor, a mouse, Microsoft Windows. v I To install THERdbASE, execute the File/Run option from within Windows and specify SETUP.F.XE found in the THERDCD directory. This program leads you through the installation. Updates foi THERdbASE can be obtained over the World Wide Web from the Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (http //www.eeynre. -hrc, nevada.edu),... 

The data logger can be used in background or real time mode. In background mode the data logger stores the data in it s own internal memory until the computer asks for it. In real time mode, the data logger simply responds to commands from the computer. In both cases, the data logger is controlled by a short BASIC program resident in it s own non-volatile RAM. 

This chapter reviewed some of our group s contributions to the development and application of QM/MM methods specifically as applied to enzymatic reactions, including the use of sequential MD/QM methods, the use of effective fragment potentials for reaction mechanisms, the development of the new QM/MM interface in Amber, as well as the implementation and optimization of the SCC-DFTB method in the Amber program. This last implementation allows the application of advanced MD and sampling techniques available in Amber to QM/MM problems, as exemplified by the potential and free energy surface surfaces for the reaction catalyzed by the Tripanosoma cruzi enzyme /ram-sialidasc shown here. 

There are two types of memory used in computers. The main memory is based on integrated circuit chips and all parts can be accessed with great rapidity and with equal ease. In mainframe computers this is known as the main store whilst in smaller computers, including microcomputers, it is called the random access memory (RAM). Some parts of RAM may be reserved for the storage of programs or data which are to be protected from change or accidental erasure. Such a reserved area of memory is called read only memory (ROM). ROM chips, sometimes called firmware, are often used in integrators and microcomputers dedicated to particular tasks. The... 

Mr. Wallace is writing a budget request to upgrade his personal computer system. He wants to purchase 4 mb of RAM, which will cost 100, two new software programs at 350 each, a tape backup system for 249, and an additional tape for 25. What is the total amount Mr. Wallace should write on his budget request ... 

Controls all sequenced analyzer functions, such as sample injection and valve switching, by means of the applications program stored in RAM.
