A property of paper or paperboard used in packaging that measures its resistance to rupturing, defined as the hydrostatic pressure needed to burst a paperboard sample when it is applied uniformly across its side.ursting strength is a function of various processes performed in the papermaking process. The increased use of fillers decreases bursting strength, while the increased use of longer fibers and surface sizing increases a paper's bursting strength.
What is Actuarial Science? Actuarial science applies mathematical and statistical methods to finance and insurance, particularly to the assessment of risk. Actuarial science includes a number of interrelating disciplines, in particular the mathematics of probability and statistics.
Transportation Science. Transportation Science is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS). The studies published in the journal apply operations research techniques to problems in the full range of transportation sectors, including air travel, rail transport, commuter lines, and vehicular travel/traffic. From time to time, studies published in Transportation Science are featured in mainstream publications.[1]
