Description:
This paper develops a new quantitative airline safety index based on comparative safety performance and efforts of airlines. The index essentially indicates an airline's overall safety level, relative to other airlines in the context of safety competitiveness and risk. An empirical study of four major airlines in Taiwan is conducted to illustrate how the index is obtained. To facilitate the use of the index as a safety benchmarking and management tool, four safety dimensions corresponding to safety-related organizational divisions of airlines and their associated safety measures are identified. With the use of linguistic terms, subjective assessments of qualitative safety measures via surveys are represented with fuzzy numbers. The relative weights of safety attributes are assessed via surveys using a pairwise comparison process. Based on the concept of optimality, a fuzzy multiattribute decision making approach is developed to obtain a safety index for each airline. The airline safety index helps airlines understand their relative safety strengths and weaknesses in terms of manageable safety attributes, and identify functional areas for safety improvement. ...

Description:
Phytoextraction has shown great potential as an alternative technique for the remediation of metal contaminated soils. The objective of this study was to investigate cadmium (Cd) phytoextraction ability of high biomass producing weeds in comparison to indicator plant species. The pot study conducted with 10 to 200mgCdkg^-^1 soil indicated that Ipomoea carnea was more effective in removing Cd from soil than Brassica juncea. Among the five species, B. juncea accumulated maximum Cd, but I. carnea followed by Dhatura innoxia and Phragmytes karka were the most suitable species for phytoextraction of cadmium from soil, if the whole plant or above ground biomass is harvested. In the relatively short time of this experiment, I. carnea produced more than 5 times more biomass in comparison to B. juncea. There were significant differences (p<0.05) between the shoot length and shoot mass of control and treated plants. ... Read more
