Software architectural risk assessment
Risk assessment is an essential part of the software development life cycle. Performing risk analysis early in the life cycle enhances resource allocation decisions, enables us to compare alternative software architectural designs and helps in identifying high-risk components in the system. As a …

Confidence intervals for exposure risk assessment
… of certain random variables. In assessing the risk to human health from exposure to the pollutant of concern, a confidence interval estimate of Q is needed. In the case of independent normal random variables, point estimates and certain types of interval estimates of a product of several …

Risk Assessment for Marine Construction Projects
… However, such increases are hampered by various risks that can significantly impact growth. Natural forces, political events, administrative and operational mistakes, equipment failures, external attacks such as arson, and economic events are some of the major risks faced by firms in this …

Risk assessment tool for diabetic neuropathy.
… is becoming the gold standard for neuropathy assessment. Devices like tuning fork, Biothesiometer and Neurothesiometer use this technology but require an operator to record and manually interpret the results. The results are user-dependent and are not consistent. To overcome these limitations, …

Ethical pesticide policy : beyond risk assessment
… particularly those involving technological risks, and to other countries. Much of the material used is drawn from the New Zealand experience, with two major exceptions: United States data is used to describe the toxicological risk assessment process and its failures, and studies conducted in …

Good risk assessment practice in hospitals
Risk assessment is essential to ensure safety in hospitals. However, hospitals have paid little attention to risk assessment. Several problems have already been identified in the literature about current risk assessment practice, such as inadequate risk assessment guidance and bias in risk scoring. …

Environmental risk assessment in financial institutions
Have the environmental risk assessment policies and procedures instituted by banks been successful in promoting the welfare of the environment? Have these policies and procedures succeeded in protecting banks from environment related liability? This thesis examines the impact of environmental risk …

Risk allocation for temporal risk assessment
… composed into temporal plans, then, there is a risk of not meeting the plan requirements. Currently, we do not have quantitatively precise methods for assessing temporal risk of a plan. Existing methods that deal with temporal uncertainty either forgo probabilistic models or try to optimize a …

Critical Substation Risk Assessment and Mitigation
… system misoperations to estimate system risk from loss-of-substation events in order to assess each substation's criticality. A continuation power flow method is utilized for estimating voltage collapse during cascades. Transient stability is included through the use of a supervised …

Risk assessment formulation for nitrate leaching
A framework for evaluating the risk of water pollution from the application of liquid dairy manure to agricultural fields was developed and applied. The GLEAMS (Groundwater Loading Effects of Agricultural Management Practices) (Ver 2.1) model was used to simulate NO₃-N leaching below the root zone …

Uncertainty analysis in ecological risk assessment modeling
… Carlo simulations for assessing parameter and risks as probabilistic distributions was used in an ecological risk assessment (ERA) model to characterize risk and address uncertainty. This study addresses the following sources of uncertainty: parameter inputs in the ERA models, risk algorithms …

Hybrid Causal Logic Methodology for Risk Assessment
Probabilistic Risk Assessment is being increasingly used in a number of industries such as nuclear, aerospace, chemical process, to name a few. Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) characterizes risk in terms of three questions: (1) What can go wrong? (2) How likely is it? (3) What are the …

Novel approaches to plant pest risk assessment
Pest risk assessment is an essential yet problematic stage in pest risk analysis (PRA) that concerns the likelihood and consequences of pest introduction. The aim of this study was to develop methodologies for risk assessment and to explore different approaches that could lead to the development of …
