  • 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...

  • Ruin theory under uncertain investments

    Creator:
    Constantinescu, Corina D.
    Abstract:
    An insurance company, having an initial capital u, receives premiums continuously and pays claims of random sizes at random times. A classical result states that if the rate of premium, c, exceeds the average of the claims paid per unit time, ⋋μ, then the ruin probability decays exponentially fast as...

  • Assessing cross-media impacts : a comparative risk approach

    Creator:
    Borys, David S.
    Abstract:
    In 1993 The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality developed a Cross-media Comparative Risk Assessment model to address certain regulatory concerns. Due to budget constraints the model was never beta tested. Now in 1995, the X-media project has been reopened, and the model revised, and tested. Specific revisions include: 1) Upgrade...

  • 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,...

  • A comparison of deterministic and probabilistic radiation dose assessments at three fictitious ¹³⁷Cs contaminated sites in California, Colorado, and Florida

    Creator:
    Brock, Terry A.
    Abstract:
    Two methods of radiation dose assessment were evaluated for the Cs-137 in soil ⇒ leafy vegetable ⇒ human consumption exposure pathway at three fictitious contaminated sites in California, Colorado, and Florida. An annual dose equation was developed and per USEPA risk assessment guidelines, traditional, single point annual dose estimates were...
