Application of the technology neutral framework to sodium cooled fast reactors
… of this thesis are the following: 1. Functional event trees are developed as a tool to allow different designs to be compared on an equal basis. Functional event trees are useful within the TNF as a method for the selection of Licensing Basis Events (LBEs) which take the place of traditional …

Convertible Trade Credits: a new way of creating value
… We relied on discrete binomial event trees to price real call options and the constant dividend growth model to price the firm’s stock under different states of nature. The example we provide assumes a world with no corporate taxes.

Hybrid Causal Logic Methodology for Risk Assessment
… familiarization, identification of initiating events, scenario modeling, quantification, uncertainty analysis, sensitivity analysis, importance ranking, and data analysis. Fault trees and event trees are widely used tools for risk scenario analysis in PRAs of technological systems. This …

Petri net modeling of fault analysis for probabilistic risk assessment
Fault trees and event trees have been widely accepted as the modeling strategy to perform Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA). However, there are several limitations associated with fault tree/event tree modeling. These include 1. It only considers binary events; 2. It assumes independence among …

Incorporation of Corrosion Mechanisms into a State-dependent Probabilistic Risk Assessment
… of using traditional PRA tools such as event trees and fault trees to determine a state-dependent core damage frequency. Unlike traditional PRA, which emphasizes active components, this methodology was used with a mechanistic aging model of a passive component. In addition, the model …

Systems Theoretic Hazard Analysis (STPA) applied to the risk review of complex systems : an example from the medical device industry
… hazard analysis techniques such as fault and event trees. Their respective strengths can be summoned when STPA is used to identify areas on which to focus the investigation lens of traditional hazard analysis techniques. Keywords: STAMP, STPA, hazard analysis, risk analysis, risk management, …

Solving Factorable Programs with Applications to Cluster Analysis, Risk Management, and Control Systems Design
Ever since the advent of the simplex algorithm, linear programming (LP) has been extensively used with great success in many diverse fields. The field of discrete optimization came to the forefront as a result of the impressive developments in the area of linear programming. Although discrete …
