Decisions Under Uncertainty: Probabilistic Analysis for Engineering Decisions
Uncertainty is an essential and inescapable part of life. During the course of our lives, we inevitably make a long series of decisions under uncertainty – and suffer the consequences. Whether it be a question of deciding to wear a coat in the morning, or of deciding which soil strength to use in the design of a foundation, a common factor in these decisions is uncertainty. One may view humanki...
متن کاملEngineering Resilience versus Ecological Resilience
Ecological science has been shaped largely by the biological sciences. Environmental science, on the other hand, has been shaped largely by the physical sciences and engineering. With the beginning of interdisciplinary efforts between the two fields, some of the fundamental differences between them are generating conflicts caused more by misunderstanding of basic concepts than by any difference...
متن کاملUncertainty in Consumer Decisions
Uncertainty has been identified as a major force shaping behaviour. The ubiquity of uncertainty in everyday choices is reflected in its prevalence in economic theories. Despite the acknowledged importance of uncertainty , however, the actual content of the concept is far from clear, for uncertainty has rarely been the focus of research. Presence of uncertainty has been used as a justification f...
متن کاملEnvironmental Terror : Uncertainty , Resilience
Total war is usually understood as the blurring of erstwhile political distinctions among people, armies, and government. It is more than this. Total war is a modus operandi involving the destruction—from the cellular to the planetary—of an enemy’s environmental life-world. Working through uncertainty and surprise, total war presents itself as environmental terror. Through the concept of resili...
متن کاملRisk assessment of resilience engineering level and integrated resilience engineering with safety, health and environment of hospitals (case study: two selected hospitals of Faraja in 1400)
Introduction: By evaluating the level of resilience engineering and resilience engineering combined with safety, health, and environment, the priorities of medical centers to face crises are determined. Therefore, this study aimed to implement a risk assessment model with a checklist designed in a fuzzy environment. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study, in 2014, in two Faraja hosp...
