  • From Functional Modeling to Optimization : Risk and Safety in the Design Process for Large-Scale Systems

    Creator:
    McIntire, Matthew G.
    Abstract:
    In order to more effectively design large, complex systems, risk must be accounted for throughout the design process. A systematic way to account for risk is by using system model simulation. During the conceptual design phase, functional models can be drawn to help the engineer design their system's functional architecture....

  • Ruin Problems with Risky Investments

    Creator:
    Loke, Sooie-Hoe
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we study two risk models. First, we consider the dual risk process which models the surplus of a company that incurs expenses at a constant rate and earns random positive gains at random times. When the surplus is invested in a risky asset following a geometric Brownian...

  • Feed-and-bleed transient analysis of OSU APEX facility using the modern Code Scaling, Applicability, and Uncertainty method

    Creator:
    Hallee, Brian Todd
    Abstract:
    The nuclear industry has long relied upon bounding parametric analyses in predicting the safety margins of reactor designs undergoing design-basis accidents. These methods have been known to return highly-conservative results, limiting the operating conditions of the reactor. The Best-Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU) method using a modernized version of the Code-Scaling,...

  • Assessing equity in health system finance and health care utilization : the case of Chile, and a model to measure health care access

    Creator:
    Núñez Mondaca, Alicia Lorena
    Abstract:
    Chile has experienced great success in terms of economic growth in the last decades. This growing economy brings changes in the Chilean health care system. Its health care system was primarily funded by state sources until 1981, when a major reform was introduced that established new rules for the health...

  • Planning Under Uncertainty for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

    Creator:
    Skeele, Ryan
    Abstract:
    Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has grown out of traditional research and military applications and has captivated the commercial and consumer markets, showing the ability to perform a spectrum of autonomous functions. This technology has the capability of saving lives in search and rescue, fighting wildfires in environmental monitoring, and...
