(2019-03-08)The people and assets endangered by flood risks due to sea level rise and coastal population increase are increasing. Complex and unpredictable future circumstances necessitates a better scenario-based planning; helping ...
-
(2009-05-15)Previous efforts to apply risk analysis for water distribution systems (WDS) have not typically included explicit hydraulic simulations in their methodologies. A risk classification scheme is here employed for identifying ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)This study presents an analysis of several recently published methods for quantifying the uncertainty in economic evaluations due to uncertainty in future oil prices. Conventional price forecasting methods used in the ...
-
(2019-11-25)In this thesis, we present an approach to create artworks and animation through design principles used for uncertainty visualization. To demonstrate this approach, we use 3D models with reflective surfaces to simplify the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)This study proposes a new, easily applied method to quantify uncertainty in production forecasts for a volumetric gas reservoir based on a material balance model (p/z vs. Gp). The new method uses only observed data and ...
-
(2016-12-13)The purpose of this study is to quantitatively compare the accuracy of radiation transport finite element methods which use a contiguous support to those which use a discontiguous support of the energy domain. The ...
-
(2016-12-15)Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is used for estimating Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) which, in turn, is used for design of major hydraulic structures, such as dams and spillways, flood protection works, and nuclear ...
-
(2021-02-23)Multi-Scale Analysis (MSA) is a powerful tool used in process systems engineering and has been utilized in many applications such as fault detection and filtering. In this paper, the extension of MSA for interval data is ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Engineering design is a complex and ill defined procedure. Design is a highly heuristic problem solving activity which involves problem definition, solution or strategy selection (search among alternatives), trade off ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Analysts increasingly have used probabilistic approaches to evaluate the uncertainty in reserves estimates based on a decline curve analysis. This is because the results represent statistical analysis of historical data ...
-
(2011-08-08)In oil/gas and chemical industries, dynamics is one of the most essential characteristics of any process. Time-dependent response is involved in most steps of both the physical/engineering processes and the equipment ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)This dissertation analyzes the basis for and magnitudes of discount factors based on the characteristics of greenhouse gas emission (GHGE) offsets that are applied to the GHGE reduction projects, concentrating on agricultural ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)Energy prices have exhibited significant volatility in recent years. For example, natural gas prices ranged from $4 to $15 per MM BTU's in calendar years 2005 through 2011. Future prices are uncertain but are likely to ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Many people have readily suggested different types of hyperelastic models for high strain materials and biotissues since the 1940Âs without validating them. But, there is no agreement for those models and no model is ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a widely used methodology in the process industries. FTA is used for the development of failure mechanisms, computation of failure frequencies and the determination of the probability of failure ...
-
(Private Enterprise Research Center, Texas A&M University; Texas A&M University. Library, 2019-12-12)Surveys of professional forecasters produce precise and timely point forecasts for key macroeconomic variables. However, the accompanying density forecasts are not as widely utilized, and there is no consensus about their ...
-
(2014-08-06)Three Archimedean copulas were employed to model annual maximum flood peak data of different lengths. Estimation methods based on ranks were employed for parameter estimation. Marginals were modeled with the generalized ...

(ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, 2015-04)Three Archimedean copulas were employed to model annual maximum flood peak data of different lengths. Estimation methods based on ranks were employed for parameter estimation. Marginals were modeled with the generalized ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Estimating original hydrocarbons in place (OHIP) in a reservoir is fundamentally important to estimating reserves and potential profitability. Quantifying the uncertainties in OHIP estimates can improve reservoir development ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)This study is concerned with Knightian uncertainty as a viable concept in individual behavior. Events can be categorized under the headings of certainty, risk, and uncertainty. In terms of probability, a certain event has ...
