3.1 This guide is aimed at providing a general understanding of the various types of hardware devices that form the core of information processing systems for ship and marine use. Ship and marine information processing systems require specific devices in order to perform automated tasks in a...
5.1 This test method is based on the Payne Effect. It is a reasonable approach to evaluate the compound's filler-network formation to quantify the degree of silanization in a silica-filled rubber using a rotorless oscillating shear rheometer for the measurement of the strain softening. 5.2...
4.1 The intent of these principles is to provide a useful hierarchical arrangement of the breadth of asset types. 4.2 This hierarchy is independent of the legal ownership of the assets under consideration. 4.3 Cost or financial treatment of assets is not relevant to this hierarchy. 4.3.1 Positive...
Oil and gas industries apply several techniques for assessing and mitigating the risks that are inherent in its operations. In this context, the application of Bayesian Networks (BNs) to risk assessment offers a different probabilistic version of causal reasoning. Introducing probabilistic...
