Extreme Events: Examining the “Tails” of a Distribution
Although our engineering training treats all physics as deterministic, we also know that random variation is a normal part of nature. Strength of parts and loads on parts var. Unusually low strengths and unusually high loads do occur , for example a flood or a hurricane in the case of a building or a bridge, or a slug of liquid refrigerant in the case of a compressor. Accidents can occur when e...
متن کاملThresholding Events of Extreme in Simultaneous Monitoring of Multiple Risks
This article develops a threshold system for monitoring airline performance. This threshold system divides the sample space into regions with increasing levels of risk and allows instant assessments of risk level of any observed airline performance. Of particular concern is the performance with extreme risk. In this article, a multivariate extreme value theory approach is used to establish thre...
متن کاملActive Distribution Networks Restoration after Extreme Events
After extreme events such as floods, thunderstorms, blizzards and hurricanes there will be devastating effects in the distribution networks which may cause a partial or complete blackout. Then, the major concern for the system operators is to restore the maximum critical loads as soon as possible by available generation units. In order to solve this problem, this paper provides a restoration s...
متن کاملEvents, emotions, and technology: examining acceptance of workplace technology changes
Purpose – The purpose of this article is to understand the relationship between emotional salience and workplace events related to technology change by using a combination of key features of two popular psychological theories – regulatory focus theory and affective events theory – to view the change process in diverse settings. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is based on analysis of 18...
متن کاملBayesian Network and System Thinking modelling to manage water quality related health risks from extreme events
The occurrence of extreme events can challenge the capacity of water utilities to deliver potable water of sufficient quality with respect to minimising health risks to consumers. As a consequence, proactive risk-assessment and decision support tools are necessary to assist in managing and mitigating such critical events effectively. However, the utility of these tools can be limited due to the...
