    • Designing Effective Emergency Response Plans: Lessons learned from investigating two major incidents 
      Davis, Scott (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)
      Emergency response plans are an essential, yet oftentimes overlooked, layer of protection for facilities where all other layers of protection failed to prevent an incident. While catastrophic accidents such as large releases ...
    • Is my facility at risk? Understanding the risks associated with low burning velocity compounds 
      Pagliaro, John; Davis, Scott; van Wingerden, Kees (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)
      A key factor when performing risk assessments and facility siting studies is to assess the explosion and flash fire risk of combustible fluids. There are accurate and established methods to do so when dealing with flammable ...
    • Large Scale Detonation Testing – RPSEA Project Award 
      Davis, Scott; Engel, Derek; Wingerden, Kees van (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)
      As the size of Ultra Deep Water (UDW) facilities increases in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), designs must consider the potential adverse effects associated with vapor cloud explosions in large congested areas and understand ...
    • Large Scale Detonation Testing: New Findings in the prediction of DDTs at large scales 
      Davis, Scott; Merilo, Erik; Engel, Derek; Wingerden, Kees van (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)
      A large vapor cloud explosion (VCE) followed by a fire is one of the most dangerous and high-consequence events that can occur at petrochemical facilities. As the size and complexity of facilities increase, designs must ...
    • Maximizing the Benefit of Early-Stage CFD Ventilation Analyses to Reduce Fire and Explosion Hazards 
      Botwinick, Drew; Quilliou, Josue; Davis, Scott (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)
      One of the most significant hazards faced by offshore platforms, FLNGs, and chemical facilities is the risk of explosions resulting from the ignition of flammable clouds due to an unintentional release (leak). Natural ...
    • Molecular genetics of bovine 70 kilodalton heat shock protein (HSP70) genes 
      Grosz, Michael David (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)
      Sequences homologous to a 2.3 kilobase (kb) human HSP70 cDNA were extracted from a bovine sperm DNA library. The cloned DNA was restriction mapped and sequences containing HSP70 coding regions, along with those sequences ...
    • Quantitative trait loci and somatostatin 
      Cai, Li; Taylor, Jeremy; Smyth, Kerrie-Ann; Findeisen, Brian; Lehn, Cathi; Davis, Sara; Davis, Scott (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2009-09-08)
      The disclosure relates to the use of genetic traits in livestock for determining breeding characteristics of livestock progeny, and for optimizing the management and marketing of livestock for improving feedlot performance ...
