APPLICATION OF FORMAL SAFETY ASSESSMENT FOR DRY DOCKING EVOLUTION
This research has evaluated the rules, guidelines and regulations related to docking a ship in floating-graving yards. Historical failure data analysis is carried out to identify associated components, equipment and the area of defects related to ship docking evolution problems. The current status of ship docking evolution is reviewed and possible sources which cause accidents are recognised. The major problems identified in this research are associated with risk modelling under circumstances where high levels of uncertainty exist. Following the identification of research needs, this work has developed several analytical models for the application of Formal Safety Assessment (FSA). Such models are subsequently demonstrated by their corresponding case studies with regards to application of FSA for ship docking evolution.

Korea: Miracle on the Han River
South Korea is famous for its spectacular rise from one of the poorest countries in the world to a developed, high-income country in just one generation. South Korea has experienced one of the largest economic transformations of the past 60 years. It started as an agriculture-based economy in the 1960s, and it became the 11th largest economy in the world in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2016. How did the industrialization miracle take place? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqC_XV1SvXM
How Journalism Became a Dirty Word
“The FAKE NEWS media . . . is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!”1 —@realDonaldTrump In October 2015, before the news cycle became entirely consumed by scandal and poll numbers, by 24-hour chatter over Donald Trump’s undersized hands and Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail servers, the presidential election race served up its first troubling sign of the crisis in American journalism

FINANCIAL ECONOMICS WEEK 2: FIRM INVESTMENT PROJECT ANALYSIS PART 1/3
TOOLS FOR PROJECT ANALYSIS A. NET PRESENT VALUE (NPV) In Week 1 we briefly looked at how to use NPV to evaluate an investment opportunity. I.e., accept a project if NPV>0, and reject it if NPV<0. In an environment with uncertainty, the NPV methods requires discounting the expected cash flows with a risk-adjusted discount rate. Idea of valuating a project: Project value=discounted value of expected payoffs using riskadjusted returns as discount rates Applying the NPV method to analyze a project amounts to: 1. Estimating and forecasting the project’s cash flows . 2. Finding an appropriate discount rate that reflects the riskiness of the project.
Manufacturing Industry in Taiwan
Made In Taiwan "Made in Taiwan" used to mean anything sold in a five-and-dime store In the 1970s, Taiwan churned out just about every cheap umbrella, polyester shirt, and generic plastic toy sold in the U.S. Now "Made in Taiwan" means research and development, innovation, and tough competition for American manufacturers. It is also the place U.S. corporations turn to produce high-tech goods.
Assessing and Treating Patients With Impulsivity, Compulsivity, and Addiction
A 53-year-old Puerto Rican woman is the focus of this article's case study since she has a "unwelcome problem" with alcoholic addiction. After her father's death, she recalls, she began drinking heavily at the age of twenty. Since the opening of a casino near her house two years ago, the patient has been unable to quit drinking because of her struggle with gambling addiction, which has been much more difficult due to her efforts to stop drinking alcohol (Kelly, & Renner, 2016). The aim of this case study is to demonstrate how pharmacokinetics and pharmakodynamics and the ethical and legal consequences of the prescription of therapy for individuals with impulsivity, compulsivity, and addiction are examined and created (Kelly, & Renner, 2016).

Handbook of Human Performance Measures and Crew Requirements Ä for Flightdeck Research
A concern in modern aircraft is that flightcrews are inundated with an enormous amount of automation. This has changed the role of the flightcrew and has demanded increased monitoring behaviors than ever before. Because flightcrew behavior is less observable, the challenge in the human factors research industry is to identify pilot performance through new evaluation tools and techniques.
