    The aerosol spray canister invented by USDA researchers, Lyle Goodhue and William Sullivan. The concepts of aerosol probably go as far back as 1790. [1] The first aerosol spray can patent was granted in Oslo in 1927 to Erik Rotheim, a Norwegian chemical engineer, [1] [2] and a United States patent was granted for the invention in 1931. [3]

  5. Particulates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particulates

    The direct aerosol effect is a first-order effect and is therefore classified as a radiative forcing by the IPCC. [102] The interaction of an aerosol with radiation is quantified by the single-scattering albedo (SSA), the ratio of scattering alone to scattering plus absorption (extinction) of radiation by a particle. The SSA tends to unity if ...

  9. Supply chain risk management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_Chain_Risk_Management

    Supply-chain risk management is aimed at managing risks in complex and dynamic supply and demand networks. [1] (cf. Wieland/Wallenburg, 2011)Supply chain risk management (SCRM) is "the implementation of strategies to manage both everyday and exceptional risks along the supply chain based on continuous risk assessment with the objective of reducing vulnerability and ensuring continuity".
