Abstract

This revised and updated 3rd edition of Engineering Risk Management (ERM) presents an understanding and insights into what risk is, what constitutes it and how to interpret the building blocks of the concept. The book also elaborates on the differences between safety and security, and risk management metaphors. Models, theories and principles are discussed, as well as risk assessment methods, risk treatment, risk resilience and micro-economic approaches to optimizing risk decision-making. Some iconic major accidents are explained, followed by examples of practical implementation of ERM in chemistry, physics, and nanotechnology.

Abstract

Domino Effects in the Process Industries discusses state-of-the-art theories, conceptual models, insights and practical issues surrounding large-scale knock-on accidents-so-called domino effects-in the chemical and process industries. The book treats such extremely low-frequency phenomena from a technological perspective, studying possible causes and introducing several approaches to assess and control the risks of these scenarios. The authors also examine these events from a managerial viewpoint, discussing single and multi-plant management insights and requirements to take pro-active

Abstract

Onze hedendaagse welvaart is in zeer grote mate te danken aan het feit dat we chemische producten, en dan voornamelijk organische producten, op grote schaal kunnen verwerken en produceren. Organische chemie is daarom zowel vanuit een technologisch-innovatieve visie als vanuit sociaal-economisch perspectief zeer belangrijk voor de vooruitgang van onze samenlevingen.Dit boek biedt de basisaspecten van de organische chemie aan voor studenten en geïnteresseerden die niet vertrouwd zijn met leerstof organische chemie. De auteur geeft een eenvoudige en overzichtelijke samenvatting van de belangrijkste indelingen van organische moleculen en de belangrijkste karakteristieke kenmerken van de verschillende klassen. Het boek is doorspekt met voorbeelden van moleculen (waarbij o.a. naamgeving en isomerie eenvoudig worden besproken) en de mogelijke toepassingen ervan. De algemene principes die bij organische moleculen leiden tot de verklaring van hun chemische en fysische eigenschappen en hun reactiviteit komen eveneens bondig aan bod. Oefeningen en practica verduidelijken en verluchtigen verder de aangeboden theoretische kennis.

Abstract

This book examines the possibility of socially responsible innovation in security, using an interdisciplinary approach. Responsible innovation in security refers to a comprehensive approach that aims to integrate knowledge related to stakeholders operating at both the demand and the supply side of security - technologists, citizens, policymakers and ethicists. Security innovations can only be successful in the long term if all the social, ethical and ecological impacts, threats and opportunities, both short term and long term, are assessed and prioritized alongside technical and commercial impacts. The first part of this volume focuses on security technology innovation and its perception and acceptance by the public, while the second part delves deeper into the processes of decision-making and democratic control, raising questions on the ethical implications of security ruling. This book will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, sociology, technology studies and IR in general.
