Safety distance has already been a main measurement for the hazard control of chemical installations interpreted to mean providing space between the hazardous installation and different types of targets. But, the problem is how to determine the enough space. This study considers the application of quantitative risk assessment to evaluating a compressed natural gas station site and to identi...

purpose: to evaluate the agreement between a new method for quantitative analysis of fundus or angiographic images using photoshop software and clinical judgment. methods: four hundred eighteen fundus and angiographic images of diabetic patients were evaluated by three retina specialists and then by computer using photoshop 7.0 software. four variables were selected for comparison: amount of ha...

an equitable risk allocation between contracting parties plays a vital role in enhancing the performance of the project. this research presents a new quantitative risk allocation approach by integrating fuzzy logic and bargaining game theory. owing to the imprecise and uncertain nature of players’ payoffs at different risk allocation strategies, fuzzy logic is implemented to determine the value...

One of the main challenges faced in design and construction phases of tunneling projects is the determination of maximum allowable advance step to maximize excavation rate and reduce project delivery time. Considering the complexity of determining this factor and unexpected risks associated with inappropriate determination of that, it is necessary to employ a method which is capable of accounti...

Domain-specific quantitative modeling and analysis approaches are fundamental in scenarios which qualitative inappropriate or unfeasible. In this paper, we present a tool-supported approach to graph-based security risk based on attack-defense trees. Our is QFLan, successful domain-specific support of highly configurable systems, whose components have been decoupled facilitate the instantiation ...
