A Multidisciplinary Introduction to Information Security
With most services and products now being offered through digital communications, new challenges have emerged for information security specialists. A Multidisciplinary Introduction to Information Security presents a range of topics on the security, privacy, and safety of information and communication technology. It brings together methods in pure m
Advances in Reliability and System Engineering
This book presents original studies describing the latest research and developments in the area of reliability and systems engineering. It helps the reader identifying gaps in the current knowledge and presents fruitful areas for further research in the field. Among others, this book covers reliability measures, reliability assessment of multi-state systems, optimization of multi-state systems, continuous multi-state systems, new computational techniques applied to multi-state systems and probabilistic and non-probabilistic safety assessment.
A History of Risk Science
Risk has been handled as long as there have been humans on Earth. However, the risk field is a young discipline; systematic attempts to access and handle risk – explicitly conceptualizing and expressing risk – in society are a recent endeavour. This book presents a history of risk science and risk analysis highlighting concepts and principles for understanding, assessing, communicating, managing and governing risk. The author presents and discusses key contributions to risk science using a historical lens and from the perspective of a risk scientist. The book strengthens our understanding of what risk science is and how it has evolved by exploring fundamental topics such as risk characterization, risk perception, risk communication, risk handling and decision-making and concludes with reflection on the future of risk science, and in particular what we can learn from its history. A History of Risk Science will be essential reading for risk researchers and graduate students as well as scholars from associated fields applying risk-related analysis to their work.
Offshore Process Safety
Methods in Chemical Process Safety, Volume Two, the latest release in a serial that publishes fully commissioned methods papers across the field of process safety, risk assessment, and management and loss prevention, aims to provide informative, visual and current content that appeals to both researchers and practitioners in process safety. This new release contains unique chapters on offshore safety, offshore platform safety, human factors in offshore operation, marine safety, safety during well drilling and operation, safety during processing (top side), safety during transportation of natural resources (offshore pipeline), and regulatory context - Helps acquaint the reader/researcher with the fundamentals of process safety - Provides the most recent advancements and contributions on the topic from a practical point-of-view - Presents users with the views/opinions of experts in each topic - Includes a selection of the author(s) of each chapter from among the leading researchers and/or practitioners for each given topic
Oil and Gas, Technology and Humans
The oil and gas industry is going through a major technological shift. This is particularly true of the Norwegian continental shelf where new work processes are being implemented based on digital infrastructure and information technology. The term Integrated Operations (IO) has been applied to this set of new processes. It is defined by the Centre for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry as 'work processes and technology to make smarter decisions and better execution, enabled by ubiquitous real time data, collaborative techniques and access to multiple expertise'. It's claimed that IO is efficient, optimises exploration, reduces costs and improves safety performance. However, the ...

To kulestøtere fra Finnmark
Et kulestøt tar halvannet sekund, seks støt tar ni sekunder. Bjørn Bang Andersen og Harald Lorentzen. Navnene klinger av kast, grove overarmer og nordnorsk saftighet. De er et ekko fra da friidrett var folkesport og også små stevner trakk mange tilskuere. I denne boka forteller Thor Gotaas om galskapen der er å begynne med kulestøt når en vokser opp i Finnmark like etter andre verdenskrig. Om det å drive idrett på forblåste grusbaner i tre varmegrader, om å lage seg en egen friidrettsbane med 200 meters runde ved å bryte opp lyngtorv, om iveren og viljen til å bli best. "To kulestøtere fra Finnmark" er ikke bare en dobbeltbiografi om de to kulestøterne Bjørn Bang Andersen og Harald Lorentzen og deres forunderlige livsreise fra Finnmark til internasjonale friidrettsarenaer, men også en fortelling om idrettsprestasjoner i etterkrigstiden og hva en kasters besettelse består i.
4th International Conference on Offshore Loss Prevention--a Systematic Approach
Responsibility and accountability for the safety of offshore operations rests at the highest levels of management. Experience shows that inherently dangerous activities can be safe if well managed, yet common and everyday activities can be disastrous if handled negligently. The offshore industry has always recognized the need to design a high level of inherent safety into facilities. Recognizing the special hazards and the potential for extreme events such as ship collisions or fires and explosions involving large numbers of people, many operators over the years have incorporated specialized engineering tools and techniques.
