(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Large complex construction projects such as building an interstate highway, a dam, a chemical plant, an off-shore oil rig and a waste-to-energy plant often include unpredictable geological conditions, labor supplies, ...
-
(2018-08-09)Petroleum industry performance has been consistently below expectations. This underperformance has been attributed in part to the existence of cognitive biases in project evaluation, resulting in poor project valuation and ...
-
(2014-04-28)Urban growth contributes to increasing storm water runoff which in turn causes an increase in the frequency and severity of flooding. Moreover, increased storm water runoff contributes to changing the character and volume ...
-
(2014-12-02)We present three models for emergency response network design. First, in a deterministic setting, we focus on two critical aspects of emergency logistics: evacuation and relief distribution. We consider a three-tier system ...
-
(2011-02-22)The advent of smart well technology, which is the use of down hole sensors to adjust well controls (i.e. injection rate, bottomhole pressure, etc.), has allowed the possibility to control a field in all stages of the ...
-
(2010-07-14)Considered in this research is a framework for effective formation control of multirobot systems in dynamic environments. The basic formation control involves two important considerations: (1) Real-time trajectory generation ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2012)The main purpose of this research is to include uncertainty that lies in modeling process and that arises from input values when predicting system performance, and to incorporate uncertainty related to system controls in ...
-
(2011-08-08)In this study, the impact of various flow models is assessed under free and forced convection: compressible versus incompressible models for a Pressurized Water Reactor, and Darcy's law vs full momentum equation for High ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)There are three barriers which keep the retrofit plant from matching the energy efficiency of the new plant: • Activation Energy. The retrofit engineer must justify starting over rather than marginal economics. • ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This study proposes a new, easily applied method to quantify uncertainty in production forecasts based on reservoir simulation. The new method uses only observed data and mismatches between simulated values and observed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)This dissertation is concerned with the imputation of rental income for entrepreneurial uncertainty. It begins with a review of the historical development of rent theory. Chapter I briefly summarizes contributions to the ...
-
(2011-02-22)In the Highway construction project development process, State Highway Agencies (SHA) prepare cost estimates for effective communication to stakeholders and for project cost control. Cost estimates prepared in the planning ...
-
(2009-06-02)Currently, the effect of the vertical resolution on the brightness temperature (BT) has not been examined in depth. The uncertainty of the freezing level (FL) retrieved using two different satellites' data is large. Various ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Accurately estimating hydrocarbon reserves is important, because it affects every phase of the oil and gas business. Unfortunately, reserves estimation is always uncertain, since perfect information is seldom available ...
-
(2013-07-25)It has been shown in the literature that the oil and gas industry deals with a substantial number of biases that impact project evaluation and portfolio performance. Previous studies concluded that properly estimating ...
-
(2023-03-28)Uncertainty modulates response to salient events. However, much of this work has focused on response to physically aversive events or to appetitive rewards, leaving how uncertainty might modulate other types of aversive ...
