Barua, Shubharthi (2012-10-19)Oil/gas and petrochemical plants are complicated and dynamic in nature. Dynamic characteristics include ageing of equipment/components, season changes, stochastic processes, operator response times, inspection and testing ...
-
Abbott, George H. (2010-07-14)Many important factors affect the spread of childhood infectious disease. To understand better the fundamental drivers of infectious disease spread, several researchers have estimated seasonal transmission coefficients ...
-
Jung, Seungho (2012-02-14)In this work, a new approach to optimize facility layout for toxic release, fire and explosion scenarios is presented. By integrating a risk analysis in the optimization formulation, safer assignments for facility layout ...

Liu, Jianfeng; Laird, Carl D. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)Optimal design of a gas detection systems is challenging because of the numerous sources of uncertainty, including weather and environmental conditions, leak location and characteristics, and process conditions. Rigorous ...
