The effective rate of protection reveals the extremely adverse effect of tariffs that escalate from low rates on raw materials to high rates on intermediate inputs and yet higher rates on the final product as, in fact, most countries' tariff schedules do.
The public information dose chart of the USA Department of Energy, shown here on the right, applies to USA regulation, which is based on ICRP recommendations. Note that examples in lines 1 to 4 have a scale of dose rate (radiation per unit time), whilst 5 and 6 have a scale of total accumulated dose.
Effective dose is a dose quantity in the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) system of radiological protection. [1]It is the tissue-weighted sum of the equivalent doses in all specified tissues and organs of the human body and represents the stochastic health risk to the whole body, which is the probability of cancer induction and genetic effects, of low levels of ...
Layer of protection analysis (LOPA) Of the methods presented above, LOPA is by far the most commonly used in large industrial facilities, such as for example chemical process plants. The assignment may be tested using both pragmatic and controllability approaches, applying industry guidance such as the one published by the UK HSE. [3]
The effective interest rate (EIR), effective annual interest rate, annual equivalent rate (AER) or simply effective rate is the percentage of interest on a loan or financial product if compound interest accumulates in periods different than a year. [1] It is the compound interest payable annually in arrears, based on the nominal interest rate ...
A high-cost mortgage, defined by HOEPA as “any consumer credit transaction that is secured by the consumer’s principal dwelling,” is one in which the annual percentage rate (APR) exceeds the ...
The International Commission on Radiological Protection has proposed a model whereby the incidence of cancers increases linearly with effective dose at a rate of 5.5% per sievert. [8] This model is widely accepted for external radiation, but its application to internal contamination has been disputed.
Examples of low penetrating radiation are alpha particles, beta particles and low-energy photons. This dose quantity is used for the determination of equivalent dose to such as the skin, lens of the eye. [22] In radiological protection practice value of omega is usually not specified as the dose is usually at a maximum at the point of interest.
