TOOLS FOR CONFLICT ANALYSIS The Iceberg Model [pic] One of the classical ideas in conflict resolution is to distinguish between the positions (i.e. concrete demands) held by the parties to the conflict and their underlying interests and needs. Interests are often easier to reconcile than concrete positions, since there are usually several positions that might satisfy them. For example, two neighbours quarrel over a tree. Each neighbour takes the position that the tree is on her land (positions:

PROCESS SAFETY AND LOSS PREVENTION ASSIGNMENT INTRODUCTION TO HAZARD ANALYSIS AND RISK ASSESSMENT (CPE6001 Part 1) September 2011 1. Discuss the form in which risk predictions may be presented, including numerical values, and indicate the way in which these may be used by chemical plant managers and safety authorities to judge the acceptability of a particular chemical plant activity. Explain the philosophy underlying acceptability criteria, justifying any numerical values used, and discuss the

2. Risk Management Planning When analyzing the risks that takes place during the project planning phase. what is sometimes dificult to access is how the risk analysis should take place. The most dificult part of a project is getting things started. This plan is very detialed and it will take you through the steps of risk analysis in a graghic way. and using the example of this project which is to enhance and improve the overall project. The project will have a SOW that will be accomplished

hazard. * Next is the frequency analysis which gives an estimate of how likely an accident can occur. In the case of a flare gas recovery system, it may be how likely is it to have the release of gas into the flare header due to equipment failure. Fault tree analysis and even tree analysis are mostly used for this estimation. They are both use to determine the probability and frequency of an incident (hazard). The results from these are used to analysis the acceptability of a particular chemical

goal of this project was as follows: “identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, store this information in databases, improve tools for data analysis, transfer related technologies to the private sector, and Address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project.” (Popular Issues Home, 2012) So far in the project: “more than 60 disease-linked genes have been identified

ABSTRACT Attack tree (AT) is one of the widely used non-state-space models for security analysis. The basic formalism of AT does not take into account defense mechanisms. Defense trees (DTs) have been developed to investigate the effect of defense mechanisms using measures such as attack cost, security investment cost, return on attack (ROA), and return on investment (ROI). DT, however, places defense mechanisms only at the leaf nodes and the corresponding ROI/ROA analysis does not incorporate
