Severity categories defined

These eHects can then be compared to the severity category defined in the applicable safety criteria. Table 3.2 shows the goal/failure-based safety criteria typically used by EASA for large civil transport aircraft. 

Systematic error, as stated above, can be eliminated— not totally, but usually to a sufficient degree. This elimination process is called calibration. Calibration is simply a procedure where the result of measurement recorded by an instrument is compared with the measurement result of a standard. A standard is a measuring device intended to define, to represent physically, to conserve, or to reproduce the unit of measurement in order to transmit it to other measuring instruments by comparison. There are several categories of standards, but, simplifying a little, a standard is an instrument with a very high accuracy and can for that reason be... 

Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease in fact, nearly 25% of adults in the U.S. are considered hypertensive. Hypertension is defined as a consistent elevation in blood pressure such that systolic/diastolic pressures are >140/90 mmHg. Over time, chronic hypertension can cause pathological changes in the vasculature and in the heart. As a result, hypertensive patients are at increased risk for atherosclerosis, aneurysm, stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and kidney failure. There are several categories of antihypertensive agents ... 

For a snapshot what software is applied in lO-design, with no claim of completeness, of course, it is advisable to define several categories. The first, naturally, is the category of mode calculation and field propagation. 

The software utilizes a wide variety of information contained in corporate databases to identify interesting compounds with lead-like features. These features of a compound are grouped into several categories and are combined to create scores that define fairly independent measures of a compound s suitability for follow-up evaluation. These scores are then combined to create a composite score that weights the features according to project team objectives. 

Cell lines differ in the defined proteins they require for optimal cell growth. Usually, addition of insulin (I) and transferrin (T), along with the trace element selenium (S), is sufficient to enable most cell lines to grow in rich balanced nutrient media, such as the ones listed above. However, several categories of additives may enhance or be required for cell growth and/or production of the desired... 

From the practical point, the most important classification relates to safety, and several categories of micro-organisms can be defined depending on how dangerous they are and the level of containment required. 

For the implementation of a land use category in the ISO methodological framework of LCI, several category indicators have been proposed. Mila i Canals et al. present an overview of currently used indicators of land use quality, differentiating between three impact pathways impacts on biodiversity, on biotic production potential, and on ecological soil quality [19]. They also discuss which kind of information is needed from the inventory to apply the respective indicator, which is considerably more than the simple information for occupation interventions. Mila i Canals et al. [19] also define a transformation impact which represents the difference between a reference state, where land use would not have been changed compared to the actual changes in the system under study. 

Using the BN model, the entire population of switches can be characterized in terms of safety risk. By varying some of the parameters (age, operating environment and encapsulation) several categories of switches can be defined ((F,E) - to (W,C) ). 

The scenario tolerable frequency associated to each consequence severity category indicates the frequency in which the organization tolerates an event with such impact. To provide an example, according to CCPS (2001), a maximum tolerable risk for workforce of 10 per year is a typical criteria used with LOPA, considering any one scenario affecting an individual (with potential to cause a fatality within a unit or local area). These values are used during LOPA to define how much risk reduction a scenario needs to achieve a tolerable frequency of occurrence. 

To minimize the danger to life and property, controls for hazards fall into several categories. Controls include defining and recognizing hazardous materials, excluding certain... 

Nanometer and micrometer sized tubes have been prepared from polymeric materials using suitably shaped templates to ensure the final shape/ These templates can typically be divided into several categories. Hard templates consist of thin porous membranes, often alumina ° or track-etched polycarbonate where the nanometer-sized pores are partially backfilled (wetted) with polymeric material. Removal of the template then yields the polymer tubes. The outer tube diameter is defined by the template pore sizes while the inner (open) diameter of the tubes can often be controlled by the amount of polymer deposited into the template pores. The length of the tubes typically corresponds to the thickness of the porous membrane. 

Severity level category (defined in the company s procedure)... 

As the many research groups active in this field seek new ligand platforms for the optimization of the activity of (Mg) ROP catalysts, several well-defined Mg complexes which do not correspond to the categories previously discussed have been reported in the past 5 years. Although the various ligands considered are obviously not without interest, it must be noted that the complexes built around these scaffolds generally display inferior ability as ROP initiators/catalysts than those introduced in the above sections. 

Severity categories also need to be defined, and one scenario (Brauer 1990, p. 529) follows Catastrophic (death or S5rstem loss)...
