Concern for the environment has become one of the big issues in modern society, and one of the chief concerns is the environmental impact of modern industrial production. A particularly sensitive issue is the possibility of accidents in industries where there may be severe consequences for people, property and the environment. At one time the nuclear industry was seen as the most likely to be the cause of significant environmental damage, but after the occurrence of several major accidents such as Seveso, Flixborough and Bhopal, that concern extends to much of the chemicals industry. Pressure from society, reflected by strong legislation, coupled with a greater understanding of the impact that chemical processing operations can have, has led to the adoption of higher profile safety and environmental management programs within the chemical industry. Under these programmes existing and new processes are rigorously examined to determine the possible causes and consequences of failure, and the results used to improve the process to make failure less likely. Any process audit, aimed at improving safety or lessening the environmental impact, cannot be carried out using intuition or experience alone, so the discipline of risk analysis has grown as a collection of tools and methods which can be utilized to give a quantitative assessment of the risks involved in operating any given process. In this new book the authors present risk analysis and reduction in a clear and unified way, emphasizing the various different methods which can be used together in a global approach to risk analysis in the chemical process industries. Originally conceived as a text book for graduate level courses in chemical engineering, the clear presentation and thorough coverage will ensure that anyone involved in risk assessment, environmental impact assessment or safety planning will find this book an invaluable source of reference.

The dictionary contains approx. 6,000 terms related to containers and dangerous goods, medical terms in relation to accidents involving dangerous goods, chemicals most frequently involved in accidents, segregation terms and groups, reglementation of dangerous goods, conventions, codes and directives, organisations and acronyms. This dictionary will concentrate mainly on the technical vocabulary relating to containeri-sation and the transport of hazardous and noxious substances as it would appear that, that particular sector is rather poorly documented.

En 1971, la Academia Americana de Cirujanos Ortopedistas (AAOS) publicó la primera edición de Los Cuidados de Emergencia y Transporte de Enfermos y Heridos y sentó las bases para el entrenamiento de los SEM. Hoy en día, vemos cómo la undécima edición transforma la educación en los SEM llevándola a todo el mundo y ayudando a un desarrollo superior de los proveedores del SEM alrededor del planeta. Con base en los Estándares Nacionales de Educación de los SEM de Estados Unidos de América de y las guías 2015 de RCP/CCE del 2015, la undécima edición ofrece una cobertura completa de cada declaración de competencia con claridad y precisión en un formato conciso que asegura la comprensión del alumno y fomenta el pensamiento critico. Presenta un nuevo material cognitivo y didáctico, junto con nuevas destrezas y características para crear una solución de formación completa e innovadora para proveedores prehospitalarios. Hoy, el paquete de recursos educativos en SEM de la AAOS, desde primeros auxilios y RCP hasta el transporte de cuidados críticos, es el estándar de oro en materiales de capacitación, ofreciendo contenido excepcional y recursos de instrucción que satisfacen las diversas necesidades de los estudiantes y educadores de hoy en día. Contenido medico actualizado de ultima generación La undécima edición se alinea con los estándares médicos actuales — desde PHTLS hasta ILCOR — e incorpora conceptos médicos basados en evidencia para garantizar que los estudiantes e instructores tengan una interpretación precisa y profunda de la ciencia médica y su aplicación en la medicina prehospitalaria de hoy en día. Aplicación al Mundo Real del SEM A través de la evolución de estudios de caso de pacientes en cada capítulo, la undécima edición proporciona a los estudiantes el contexto de mundo real para aplicar los conocimientos adquiridos en cada capitulo clarificando cómo la información se utiliza para la atención de los pacientes en el campo e impulsa a los estudiantes a participar en el pensamiento crítico y la discusión. Una Fundación de por Vida La undécima edición parte de la premisa de que los estudiantes necesitan una base de fundamentos solidos y posteriormente refuerzo apropiado. La undécima edición proporciona a los estudiantes una comprensión amplia de la terminología médica, anatomía, fisiología y fisiopatología. Los conceptos son examinados brevemente y son relacionados con los capítulos posteriores, fortaleciendo los conocimientos fundamentales y ofreciendo un contexto cuando se estudian las emergencias específicas.

SHIPPING CARRIES MORE THAN 90 PERCENT OF WORLD TRADE. The world fleet of merchant ships and tankers provide the means of transport of every conceivable type of product: grain, crude oil, coal and gas, iron ore, bauxite/alumina and other raw materials, chemicals, fertilisers, vast amounts of foodstuff s, timber and construction materials without which the world economy would come to a standstill. . The globalization of the world economy has seen a huge growth in the volume of the international seaborne trade, in bulk or in containers. In parallel to its economic activity, shipping has developed a very rich, varied and specialised terminology which is not always easily understood by the lay man. With over 10 000 English entries translated in French and Spanish this dictionary should be a useful and helpful tool for the students in maritime institutes or commercial schools, the translators and the interpreters, to all the people who are interested in understanding the language of this vibrant sector of the world economy.
