Annual Exceedance Probability Analysis
Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) is the method used by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to determine the probability of flooding caused by the failure of a levee or other flood control structure. This method shows the probability of flooding only at one particular location at a time. In …

Probability analysis of slope stability
… factor of safety approach cannot quantify the probability of failure, or level of risk, associated with a particular design situation.;A probabilistic approach to studying geotechnical issues offers a systematic way to treat uncertainties, especially slope stability. In terms of probability, …

Imprecise probability analysis for integrated assessment of climate change
We present an application of imprecise probability theory to the quantification of uncertainty in the integrated assessment of climate change. Our work is motivated by the fact that uncertainty about climate change is pervasive, and therefore requires a thorough treatment in the integrated …

The use of joint probability analysis to predict flood frequency in estuaries and tidal rivers
… river flow, tide and surge to predict the joint probability of potential flood events occurring in Lewes. The approach is validated using existing historical water levels observed in Lewes. The results demonstrate that the joint exceedance approach can be successfully employed to model the …

Reliability evaluation for a subsea to shore production system
… universal generating function approach. Based on probability analysis the system reliability for all probable production scenarios has been addressed. Production reliability is highly related to the financial return on the investment while the system reliability relates to operational expenditure …

An algorithm for growing interconnection paths in a fault tolerant multiprocessor array
… array patterns on the array and doing a probability analysis to estimate the number of switch failures required to cause array reconfiguration. It is shown that although reduction in switch hardware increases the individual switch reliability, it has a detrimental effect on the system …

Evaluation of Market Performance of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and Its Determinants: Evidence from Australian IPOs
… was then extended to a post-day listing analysis that included returns of up to nine trading days. To measure their long-run market performance, the return measures were calculated under equally weighted and value-weighted schemes up to the three post-listing years using an event-time …

Intelligent Cipher Transfer Object for IoT Data Security
… conduct a comprehensive performance and security analysis of the Intelligent Cipher Transfer Object (ICTO) technology, which secures data by embedding it with “self-governance” or “intelligent” modules enabling it to act on its own behalf. The study focuses on evaluating the system and network …

Use of magnetic and olfactory cues for orientation by a fossorial rodent, Thomomys talpoides
… cues for homing orientation. Although Rayleigh analysis of the 8-arm maze tests showed limited significance, gophers tended to nest in the conditioned direction, and nesting direction shifted with an altered field. Repeated Measures ANOVA results of performance in time and number of wrong turns …

Localization Of Sensors In Presence Of Fading And Mobility
… is to estimate the location of a sensor through analysis of signal strengths of messages received from a collection of mobile anchors. In particular, a sensor node determines its location from distance measurements to mobile anchors of known locations. We take into account the uncertainty and …

Trust, self-confidence, and operators' adaptation to automation
… individual biases, identified in the time series analysis, corresponded to operators' general attitudes towards automation. The fourth experiment examined the information operators used to control the system, showing that the operators monitored untrusted automation more frequently. In addition, a …

Performance Evaluation of Equal Gain Diversity Systems In Fading Channels
… is meager owing to difficulty in deriving the probability density function of the diversity combiner output. This problem is further compounded when the diversity paths are correlated. Since spatial, pattern, or polarization diversity implementations at a mobile handset are usually limited to a …

Slope Stability Of Laterite Soil Embankments
… and fully saturated soil conditions. A probability analysis is conducted for the fully saturated conditions because of the variability in the input parameters. Three slope configurations (1:1, 2:1, and 3:1) are considered. The study revealed that the laterite soils embankments lose most …

Understanding Time-Variant Stress-Strain in Turkey: A Numerical Modeling Approach
… the NAFZ and how these stress changes affect the probability of future rupture along any unbroken segments of the fault zone using a two dimensional finite element modeling program. In this study, stress changes due to an earthquake are estimated using the slip history of the event, estimations of …
