Scenario-based requirements analysis

Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) Scenario- based Order-of- magnitude By preidentified scenario Processes likely to require independent protection layers, such as safety instrumented systems, to meet predefined risk criteria Dependent on comprehensiveness of scenario list identified by other method(s) Higher... 

As a first step, a behavioral observation model was developed that also functions as the backbone for the scenario constmction. This model is based on three sources (1) the set of basic competencies used in Lufthansa pilot training, which includes basic interpersonal, technical and procedural competencies for a safe flight accomplishment (Lufthansa, 1999). (2) The VERDI Ciieumplex Behavioral model for DLR pilot selection (for example, Hoeft, 2003). (3) A Fleishman job requirement analysis for airline pilots (Maschke, Goeters and Klamm, 2000) was integrated to elaborate the areas of competence. Six areas of competence could be identified leadership, teamwork, cormnunication, decision making, adherence to procedures, and workload management. 

This final paper is an extended consideration of the minimal requirements for true self-replication, divided into three parts. Part 1 considers the abstract design required to allow self-replication. It analyzes what sorts of processes, components, and information is needed for any self-replication to occur. Part 2 analyzes the potential physical implementation possibilities and the various design considerations when choosing implementation materials. Part 3 compares the minimal artificial self-replicator to the self-replicators found in nature—namely cell biology. This part examines possible origin-of-life scenarios based on the analysis of the design requirements of self-replication. 

One of the most important elements of the PSM Rule is the process hazard analysis (PrHA). It requires the systematic identification of hazards and related accident scenarios. The PSM Rule allows the use of different analysis methods, but the selected method must be based on the process being analyzed. The PSM Rule specifies that PrHAs must be completed as soon as possible within a 5-year period. However, one-fourth of the PrHAs must have been completed by May 26, 1994, with an additional one-fourth completed each succeeding year. The highest risk processes were to be done first. A schedule for PrHAs must be established at the outset of a process safety management (PSM) program to give priority to the highest risk processes. PrHAs must be reviewed and updated at least every 5 years. 

In fact, considering risk as a product is somewhat restrictive it is more general to consider it as a combination of the terms, severity and probability, that characterize the effects, that is, consequences and impact of a potential accident and its probability of occurrence. This also means that the risk is linked to a defined incident scenario. In other words, the risk analysis will be based on scenarios that must first be identified and described with the required accuracy, in order to be evaluated in terms of severity and probability of occurrence. 

Chemical Dosimetry bv TSP LC/MS. One of our long-term objectives in studying TSP LC/MS is the development of chemical dosimetry based on direct determination of polar metabolites in biological fluids. Most toxic substance exposure scenarios (i.e., near hazardous waste sites) involve complex and variable mixtures of substances. Biological monitoring, where human fluids, tissues and excreta are analyzed, measures actual exposure, whereas analysis of soil, air or water can only provide an estimate of potential exposure. Exposure data forms the basis of human health risk assessment, and ultimately defines cleanup requirements at contaminated sites.
