Abstract:

<p>Companies<strong> </strong>that seek to venture into providing services in addition to providing products have many business issues to consider as there are many differences between providing service and product offerings. One factor that needs to be considered in service offerings is the aspect of time, as services are offered for an extended period of time, creating a unique type of relationship between the customer and the service provider. With product offerings, the point of sale is usually the end of the product provider and customer relationship. The added time aspect in the servi

The primary cause of this problem is the high false positive rate in IDS system sensors used to detect malicious activity. This high false positive rate is attributed to an inability to differentiate nearly certain attacks from those that are merely possible. This inefficacy has

The negative effects of hazardous substances and possible measures that can be taken are evaluated in the environmental risk analysis process, consisting of risk assessment, risk communication and risk management.

Abstract:

This thesis treats an error propagation analysis used to estimate the uncertainty of the aerodynamic coefficients. The propagation methods used in this analysis are a Taylor Series Method and a Monte Carlo Method. The Taylor Series Method uses the partial derivatives of each input variable whereas the Monte Carlo Method uses random and repeated samples from the probability density function of each variable. By comparing the results obtained by the different methods, the results can be validated. Coverage intervals with a coverage probability of 95% are calculated along with the percentage cont

Abstract:

Uncertainty in situations involving risk is frequently modelled by assuming a plausible form of probability distribution for the uncertain quantities involved, and estimating the relevant parameters of that distribution based on the knowledge and judgement of informed experts or decision makers. The distributions assumed are usually uni-modal (and often bell-shaped) around some most likely value, with the Normal, Beta, Gamma and Triangular distributions being popular choices.

The object of this research has been to discuss the uncertainties in components of zone models and show how uncertainty within user supplied data affects the results obtained.

Abstract:

One major problem for the designer of electronic systems is the presence of uncertainty, which is due to phenomena such as process and workload variation. Very often, uncertainty is inherent and inevitable. If ignored, it can lead to degradation of the quality of service in the best case and to severe faults or burnt silicon in the worst case. Thus, it is crucial to analyze uncertainty and to mitigate its damaging consequences by designing electronic systems in such a way that uncertainty is effectively and efficiently taken into account.

To make sound investment decisions, decision makers need accurate estimates of the uncertainties present in forecasts of reservoir performance.

The integrated mismatch method tends to generate smaller ranges of uncertainty

In aircraft design, considerations to aeroelastic interactions are necessary to define permitted operating conditions which are safe. Limit cycle oscillations (LCO) are an example of unwanted and potentially dangerous wing behaviour. These are constant amplitude structural vibrations, driven by the interaction between a wing and the surrounding airflow. The present work is concerned with the numerical analysis of LCOs. More specifically, addressing the lack of comprehensive stochastic analyses of these highly nonlinear phenomena by utilising techniques which improve efficiency and support high

Abstract:

Recent evaluations of 2D models have analysed uncertainty in data inputs into flood models, but have treated the model code as a black box. In this work, the influence of the numerical representation of the model on the results is evaluated. The purpose is not only to understand the significance of the physical scheme in the model on results, but also the importance of this in respect to other known sources of uncertainty, in particular boundary conditions, calibrated parameters such as Manning’s friction values, DEM accuracy and other more subjective forms of uncertainty associated with the c
