Criteria for Assessing the Quality of Nuclear Probabilistic Risk Assessments

The final outcome of a nuclear Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) is generally inaccurate and imprecise. This is primarily because not all risk contributors are addressed in the analysis, and there are state-of-knowledge uncertainties about input parameters and how models should be constructed. In this thesis, we formulate two measures, risk significance (RS) and risk change significance (RCS)...

Maintaining perceived quality for interactive tasks

A major challenge in Virtual Reality is to achieve realism at interactive rates. However, the computational time required for realistic image synthesis is significant, precluding such realism in real-time. This paper demonstrates a concept that may be exploited to reduce rendering times substantially without compromising perceived visual quality in interactive tasks. We demonstrate the principl...

Ten Tips for Maintaining Digital Image Quality

The development of digital collections has benefited from both the technology and price-volume advantages of the wider digital imaging markets. With the advent of web-based delivery, standard file formats, and metadata, however, have come a host of technology related choices and concerns about variability and compatibility. We suggest ten simple principles that can be used to increase utility a...
