... Toxicological risk analysis is at a crossroads. The traditional approach using worst case analysis is widely regarded as fundamentally flawed since it yields conclusions that are often strongly biased and presumed hyperconservative. Probabilistic analysis using Monte Carlo simulation can yield...

This program includes the inspections and maintenance actions for ensuring...

... The Building Code Assessment Framework (BCAF) is an analytical tool which systematically evaluates changes to the National and Provincial Building Codes in Canada. It is intended to provide strategic advice to code developers. This paper discusses the fire risk analysis and assessment approach...

... and for planning fire safety improvements. Estimating the extent of future fire events is now largely dependent on experienced judgment; a sound mathematical model can provide better, more reliable answers. The desirability of such a model is also shown by ASTM Committee E-5's fire risk analysis development...

... Environmental exposure assessment, an intermediate step in risk analysis, ties projected volumes of toxic materials entering the environment to specific environmental effects. Thus, prediction of the environmental fate and distribution of a toxic compound is an integral part of any hierarchical...
