Actual quantification of probabilities for selected bridge failure scenarios

Exponential Models: Approximations for Probabilities

Welch & Peers (1963) used a root-information prior to obtain posterior probabilities for a scalar parameter exponential model and showed that these Bayes probabilities had the confidence property to second order asymptotically. An important undercurrent of this indicates that the constant information reparameterization provides location model structure, for which the confidence property ...

Agent-based decision support for actual-world procurement scenarios

Multi-item, multi-unit negotiations in industrial procurement pose serious challenges to buying agents when trying to determine the best set of providering agents’ offers. Typically, a buying agent’s decision involves a large variety of constraints that may involve attributes of separate items as well as attributes of different, multiple items. In this paper we present Ibundler, an agent-based ...

Assessment of Wake-Vortex Encounter Probabilities for Crosswind Departure Scenarios

A IRCRAFT-GENERATEDwakevortices pose a potential risk to following aircraft in various flight phases, whereas most wakevortex encounters are reported for approach and landing and for takeoff and climb [1]. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) wake-vortex aircraft separation standards [2] established in the 1970s increasingly degrade aviation efficiency when traffic congestion li...

Future Scenarios of Iran's Public Libraries Based on Futures Workshops for Selected Librarians, Managers and Members

Purpose: Nowadays, public libraries are going through a critical period and turning point, a time when from one hand and based on the environmental trends affecting them, can be a sign of their future elimination, or on the other hand if they enjoy an accurate picture of the future and adopt appropriate strategies, can provide them with a renewed vital opportunity. This issue is related to the ...
