Abstract

The Distribution Ranking Index (DRI) has been developed as a simple but effective means to indicate the inherent, acute hazards of a material that might be released in a transportation accident. Utilizing existing Dow resources and procedures, it is one of the methods used for prioritization of chemicals in Dow's distribution related process risk management effort.

Seven individual hazard indexes are considered for a material. The values range from 1 to 4 with 4 representing the most severe hazard. The highest value from any hazard index determines the overall DRI.

## Abstract We present a rationale for the Hirsch‐index rank‐order distribution and prove that it is a power law (hence a straight line in the log–log scale). This is confirmed by experimental data of PyykkΓΆ and by data produced in this article on 206 mathematics journals. This distribution is of a
