Rain depolarization scatter prediction
… significant in that it can easily exceed system threshold criteria of mean value designs. Methods for extending the depolarization predictions to attenuation variances are discussed. The paper concludes with a brief examination of resonance encountered when drop diameters are multiples or …

Development of a performance-based approach for collision avoidance and mitigation
… algorithms are based on a collection of threshold equations that predict when a collision is to occur. The fact that there are numerous algorithms suggests a need to understand the underlying principles behind the equation design and threshold settings. This thesis presents a methodology …

Implications of permeability uncertainty within engineered geologic fluid systems
… through a probabilistic assessment of static threshold criteria.

Reverse engineering and optimisation of the BLASTP program
… only if the number of hits per alignment meets a threshold criteria. Each optimised algorithm is implemented in the BLASTP version 1.4 program. A comparison of performance data between each of the optimised programs and the unmodified program shows a performance increase of 15%, 48% and 63% …

Infection processes on networks with structural uncertainty
… the relationships among different epidemic threshold criteria in deterministic disease models, and discusses the role and meaning of the basic reproductive ratio, R0. We quantify the incorporation of population structure into this general framework, and identify conditions under which …

Interprofessional collaboration in Criminal Justice Liaison and Diversion Schemes: An analysis of partnership practice in an English police custody suite
… identify detainees meeting all-vulnerabilities threshold criteria (NHS England 2019), and divert them out of the criminal system and into health and social services. Using an ethnographic, predominantly qualitative mixed methods approach, data were collected from semi-structured interviews with …

A compositional framework for quantifying neurophysiological motor recovery after stroke
… a novel compositional analysis framework - the threshold matrix. The threshold matrix explores peri-threshold activation of the corticomotor pathway from transcranial magnetic stimulation-derived motor evoked potentials (MEPs) by characterising suprathreshold, subthreshold, and subliminal …

Stochastic sequential assignment problem
… assignments are performed so as to minimize the threshold probability, which is the probability of the total reward failing to achieve a specified target (threshold). A target-dependent Markov decision process (MDP) is solved, and sufficient conditions for the existence of a deterministic Markov …

An Examination of Headset, Hearing Sensitivity, Flight Workload, and Communication Signal Quality on Black Hawk Helicopter Simulator Pilot Performance
… Army Aeromedical standards stipulate audiometric threshold criteria for rated helicopter pilots to ensure their safe flying. If the standard is not met, a flight waiver for hearing is generally granted if the pilot demonstrates good (at least 84%) binaural word recognition ability in a quiet …

Development of a Healthcare Software System for the Elderly
… an approximate median filtering approach and the threshold criteria value of 30 pixels was used. Morphological filtering methods that were dilation and erosion were used to remove any spurious noises from the extracted image prior to subsequent feature analysis. Then, this extracted silhouette was …

Resource Allocation on Networks: Nested Event Tree Optimization, Network Interdiction, and Game Theoretic Methods
… to provide insights into absolute and relative threshold criteria for recommended resource utilization. In contrast to existing static models, in a fourth application, we present a novel dynamic network interdiction model that improves realism by accounting for interactions between an …
