Scenario modeling for feasibility assessment of nuclear power plant construction projects
… the last new reactor was brought online in 1996. Scenario generation can provide useful information about the economic viability of nuclear construction projects over a variety of parameter spaces without having to make prescriptive assertions about likely single values for delay and other …

Preparing for out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A GIS scenario-modeling approach
<p>This study employed location-allocation modeling and a geographic information system (GIS) to study the current placement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in relationship to neighborhoods in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia, and to determine the optimal locations for additional AEDs in the …

Model fusion for improving hypoxia forecasts in Corpus Christi Bay, TX, USA: A study of boosting and historical scenario modeling
… model fusion techniques such as historical scenario modeling and boosting both a k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm and the historical scenario model. Existing data-driven k-nearest neighbor and physics-based valve models are used as the basis for the model fusion. The historical scenario …

An integrated modeling and decision tool for improved drinking water reliability in rural villages of India
… at village scale. This thesis proposes a simpler modeling approach which integrates the local conditions and typical hydrological processes within reasonable assumptions to develop a practical tool which can be used directly by the stakeholders (local water authorities and village community). For …

Heterogeneous Decision-Making in Socio-Technical Systems Methodologies for Efficiency Measurement and Decision Analysis with Mixed Data
… influences on performance. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used to quantify both direct and indirect effects of contextual variables on inputs and outputs, allowing for what-if scenario modeling and fairer cross-unit comparisons. The fourth and final contribution incorporates a behavioral …

Hybrid Causal Logic Methodology for Risk Assessment
… postulating and quantifying undesired scenarios in a highly integrated, top down fashion. The PRA process for technological systems typically includes the following steps: objective and scope definition, system familiarization, identification of initiating events, scenario modeling, …

Utilizing archival data to assess historic changes in flood flow conveyance of the Mississippi River
… calibrated model of actual conditions and three "scenario" models: 1) a model with levees of the next time step, 2) a model with the channel geometry of the next time step, and 3) a model with floodplain roughness (i.e., land cover) of the next time step. Comparison of the model for actual …
