Habitat selection and breeding ecology of grassland birds in areas managed with fire and grazing
… due to the diversity of nest predators in this system. Probability of nest survival on patch-burned pastures was comparable to other studies focused on responses of survival to management, and treatment did not strongly influence survival. My research provides evidence that patch-burn grazing …

Experimental comparison of probabilistic methods and fuzzy sets for designing under uncertainty
… and they rely on expert opinion. In principle, probability theory should work better in problems involving only random uncertainties, if sufficient information is available to model these uncertainties accurately. However, because such information is rarely available, probabilistic models rely …

Bridging Machine Learning for Smart Grid Applications
… into four parts as follows.. Part I: Power system state estimation (PSSE). The PSSE is commonly formulated as a weighted least-square (WLS) algorithm and solved using iterative methods such as Gauss-Newton methods. However, iterative methods have become more sensitive to system operating …

Effectiveness of smoke barriers: pressurised stair enclosures
Stair Pressurisation Systems (SPS) are a form of smoke control used in many high-rise buildings. They are designed to keep smoke out of the stairwell so that occupants have a safe evacuation route during an emergency. Throughout the years, however, many within the Fire Engineering industry have …

System Reliability-Based Design and Multiresolution Topology Optimization
… techniques to large-scale structural systems with uncertainties. The specific goals of this dissertation are: (1) to develop an efficient scheme for topology optimization; (2) to introduce an efficient and accurate system reliability-based design optimization (SRBDO) procedure; and (3) …
