Uncertainty quantification and calibration in nuclear safety codes using Gaussian process active learning
Inverse problems and inverse uncertainty quantification (UQ) are challenging issues when dealing with complex and highly non-linear functions. Methods have been developed to decrease the computational burden by using the Gaussian Process (GP) emulator model framework to approximate the input-output …

Uncertainty quantification in safety codes using a Bayesian approach with data from separate and integral effect tests
Uncertainty quantification in thermal-hydraulic safety codes is a very challenging and computationally expensive endeavor. Methods are therefore needed to reduce that computational burden, while still providing a reasonable estimate for uncertainty. To do so, a Quantitative Phenomena Identification …

The use of numerical optimisation techniques in computational fire engineering models: a study through evacuation modelling analyses
… in the transition process from prescriptive fire safety codes to performance-based ones over the last three decades. In fact, such models became also useful tools in different tasks within fire safety engineering field, such as fire risks assessment and fire investigation. However, there are some …

Injury Surveillance to Implementation: Strategies to Ameliorate Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding Injuries in New Zealand
… three or four season’s use was an inadequate safety measure. Binding self-release manoeuvres and self-adjustments identified as possible alternative solutions to increased labour and torque-testing plant costs, was the focus of experimental Chapter 6. Recreational skiers 14 years and over …
