Reliability of extreme wave prediction methods
Creators: name: Barker, Aaron

Year: 2015

description: Extreme wave parameters are used for engineering design in our seas and oceans, yet the methods used to determine them are non-standardized and can give highly variable output. With increased commercial activity in the marine sector, the importance of accurate extreme wave parameter determination has become increasingly apparent. This is particularly the case for marine renewable structures where even small over-predictions in design parameters can affect the whole feasibility of the project. This paper addresses the methods of extreme wave prediction currently in use, with a view to selecting the optimal method for the prediction of extreme wave conditions (Hs, Hmax and Tz) in coastal Irish waters. The paper identifies pitfalls and drawbacks of current extreme prediction methods, with particular attention given to the use of limited in time buoy data from coastal locations where development is to take place. In addition a new methodology of determining extreme wave periods, that is the wave periods occurring coincidentally with the most extreme wave heights, is established. This is important as the destructive energy of a wave is dependent on the wave period. By estimating the extreme wave energy and significant wave height, it is possible to formulate a method of reliably approximating the likely coincident wave period.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This paper investigates the model uncertainty of Eurocode 7 approach for estimating the bearing capacity of shallow foundations under negative and general combined loading. In the first stage, a regression equation ƒ is derived to remove the dependency of the model factor Ms on the input parameters, where Ms is defined as the ratio between the lower bound solution and the calculated capacity from Eurocode 7 approach. The probability distribution of the residual part ƞ of Ms is then determined. Secondly, the model uncertainty of the lower bound limit analysis is characterized by using a loading database. The result is represented as the probability distribution of the model factor MLB, which is defined as the ratio between the measured capacity and the lower bound solution. Finally, the model uncertainty of the modified model factor M′ defined as the ratio between the measured capacity and the capacity from Eurocode 7 approach multiplied by the regression equation ƒ is characterized by combining the results for ƞ and MLB. The results are validated by using another independent loading database.

Fatigue reliability of casted wind turbine components due to defects
Creators: name: Rafsanjani, Hesam Mirzaei
name: Sørensen, John Dalsgaard
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Manufacturing of casted components often leads to some (small) defects that are distributed in the volume of the components. These defects are different according to their size, type, orientation and etc. In this paper a probabilistic model is proposed for modeling manufacturing defects and their influence on the fatigue strength of the components. The fatigue life is dependent on the number, type, location and size of the defects in the component and is therefore quite uncertain and needs to be described by stochastic models. In this paper, the Poisson distribution for modeling of defects of component are considered and the surface and sub-surface defects categorized. Furthermore, a model to estimate the probability of failure by fatigue due to the defects is proposed. This model is used to estimate the failure location of component and it is compared to models of defect distributions and locations. Further, an upper bound of reliability is estimated using a modified Miner rule approach for fatigue damage accumulation.

Subjects: subject: International and Comparative Education

description: This paper explores NGOs working in natural resources management in the Sahel. By combining historical perspectives and cultural analysis, the paper provides an overview of the issues and actions taken over the past 40 years. Special attention is given to national and international NGOs, grassroots organizations, donors and the governments involved. The Objective of this paper is to situate the NGO movement of the West African Sahel within the context of the evolving regional situation, with particular reference to the paramount concerns for managing natural resources. What is the impetus for the emergence of NGOs and rural organizations, how do national and foreign NGOs relate to each other and to other institutional actors; What are their roles in reshaping local governance of resources; what are the opportunities, responsibilities and risks for NGOs at this juncture. These are the questions we will attempt to address. This survey of NGOs and other major actors involved in natural resource management presents an overview of the complex institutional relationships found in the Sahel. In taking this focus we will touch upon other related issues, such as public finance, economic policy, ethnic factors, the special problems of rural women, pre-colonial history, and technical aspects of agro/silvo/pastoral production systems, among many others. Although the focus on institutions emphasizes political factors, this emphasis in no way denies the environmental, economic, demographic and other factors, contributing to the current crisis in the Sahel. It is hoped that this overview of relationships among institutional actors will open the door to further, more integrated investigation of relationship dynamics and to better understanding of how improved relationships can improve the management of natural resources.
Population-based approach to estimate corrosion growth in pipelines
Creators: name: Dann, Markus R.
name: Maes, Marc A.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Corrosion in pipelines can lead to leak and rupture failures with significant consequences for people, the economy, and the environment. Corrosion growth rates are often determined from the results of in-line inspections. Detected corrosion anomalies from at least two inspections are matched with respect to their location in the pipeline and the measured growth path is used to infer current and future corrosion growth. Reliable defect matching is essential to infer credible corrosion rates for pipeline integrity assessments. If high-density corrosion is present, as frequently observed in upstream and subsea pipelines, reliable matching can typically be performed for a limited number of features. The remaining unmatched elements are usually removed from the corrosion growth analysis. The objective of this paper is to introduce a population-based corrosion growth analysis that neither requires matched defects nor removes corrosion anomalies from the analysis. All reported corrosion anomalies from an inspection are considered as a single population and the probabilistic approach determines the corrosion growth of two given populations. Adjustments are included for sizing, detectability, and false call uncertainties to determine the underlying true corrosion growth process. The results are used to estimate future corrosion evolution in joints and entire pipeline segments for informed deterministic or reliability-based integrity assessments of pipelines. The major advantage of this new approach is that the model can easily process mass pipeline inspection data.

description: In the aftermath of damaging events, agreed and transparent policies should establish acceptable levels of safety, and facilitate decisions on appropriate course of action for specific buildings. A significant indicator for repair and/or upgrade decisions is the Performance Loss (PL), that is a measure of variation of building seismic capacity from intact to damaged state. However, it is not clear how to choose significant PL thresholds with regard to damage acceptability. This study investigates, by means of a detailed case study, the expected PL for increasing seismic demand and its relationship with varied building safety level. The response of an existing non-ductile reinforced concrete building is simulated using a finite element model that properly accounts for both flexural, shear and axial failure of members and simulates joints behavior. Different definitions of building collapse are introduced, and consistent assessment of building PL are performed. The study shows interesting relations between PL and building safety level for varying return period of the damaging earthquake, demonstrating its usability as a practical indicator for reparability.

Identification uncertainty of close modes in operational modal analysis

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Operational modal analysis has attracted a lot of attention in both theory development and field applications for its high economy in implementation. It allows the modal properties (natural frequencies, damping ratios, mode shapes, etc.) to be identified based on ‘output’ vibration data only. In the absence of information about the input loading, the uncertainty associated with the identified modal parameters is a significant concern. Among the challenging situations encountered in practice, close modes (i.e., modes with similar frequencies) are significantly more difficult to identify than well-separated modes. The possible interaction of modes with similar frequencies complicates the identification model and in many cases reduces the identification precision, or even renders the situation unidentifiable. Using a Bayesian modal identification approach, this paper investigates the identification uncertainty of closely-spaced modes, which are identified using a multi-mode model with FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) data on the same frequency band. In this context, the identification uncertainty is investigated through the posterior covariance matrix, which can be computed for a given set of data. A series of numerical studies will be performed, where synthetic data in different specially designed situations are generated. Based on these data the modal properties in different situations are identified and their resulting posterior uncertainties are investigated. The effects of the proximity of close mode frequencies and mode shapes will be investigated. It is anticipated that this work will provide significant insights on the identification uncertainty in operational modal analysis for closely-spaced modes encountered in practice.

description: We investigate aspects of tram-network section reliability, which operates as a part of the model of whole city tram-network reliability. Here, one of the main points of interest is the character of the chronological development of the disturbances (namely the differences between time of departure provided in schedule and real time of departure) on subsequent sections during tram line operation. These developments were observed in comprehensive measurements done in Krakow, during one of the main transportation nodes (Rondo Mogilskie) rebuilding. All taken building activities cause big disturbances in tram lines operation with effects extended to neighboring sections. In a second part, the stochastic character of section running time will be analyzed more detailed. There will be taken into consideration sections with only one beginning stop and also with two or three beginning stops located at different streets at an intersection. Possibility of adding results from sections with two beginning stops to one set will be checked with suitable statistical tests which are used to compare the means of the two samples. Section running time may depend on the value of gap between two following trams and from the value of deviation from schedule. This dependence will be described by a multi regression formula. The main measurements were done in the city center of Krakow in two stages: before and after big changes in tramway infrastructure.

Incorporating network considerations into pavement management systems

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The objective of infrastructure management is to provide optimal maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement (MR&R) policies for a system of facilities over a planning horizon. While most approaches in the literature have studied the decision-making process as a finite resource allocation problem, the impact of construction activities on the road network is often not accounted for. The state-of-the-art Markov decision process (MDP)-based optimization approaches in infrastructure management, while optimal for solving budget allocation problems, become internally inconsistent upon introducing network constraints. In comparison, approximate dynamic programming (ADP) enables solving complex problem formulations by using simulation techniques and lower dimension value function approximations. In this paper, an ADP framework is proposed which provides better results than randomized policy frameworks in the presence of network constraints.
Implications of hurricane : sea surface temperature relationship

Year: 2015

description: This paper presents a study to assess the impact of possible future climate change on the joint hurricane wind and rain hazard along the northeast US coastline. A postulated climate change model (IPCC scenario) was considered, which suggested changes in sea surface temperature (SST) (i.e., the driving parameter in most modern hurricane models). Relationships between SST and hurricane genesis frequency, genesis location, and track propagation were incorporated into state-of-the-art hurricane simulation procedures. Results from the SST conditioned hurricane simulations indicate the wind and rain hazards for the northeast US are likely to increase in a warmed climate, while the overall number of landfalling events is likely to decrease.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: The inspection plan optimization of civil engineering structures became a true economical challenge in context of limited budget in the last two decades. It is therefore mandatory to optimize the inspection, maintenance and repair plans depending on the evolution of degradation indexes in order to ensure the reliability of these structures. Based on simulation of a predictive carbonation model which are used to identify the degradation index evolution, this paper presents a new methodology which helps to design an optimal inspection plan, taking into account the spatial variability of the degradation process. The position of the measurements points derives from an adaptative design of experiments built with the degradation predictions. The optimal time between inspections is thus determined with respect to the inspection, maintenance and failure costs.

Seismic reliability analyses of timber-steel-hybrid system

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Reliability analyses are of great importance in performance-based seismic structural design as there are inherent uncertainties in both the actions (earthquakes) and the reactions (properties of the structural systems). In this paper, reliability analyses are performed on the “Finding the Forest Through the Trees” (FFTT) system, a novel timber-steel hybrid system. The FFTT system utilizes engineered timber products to resist gravity and lateral loads with interconnecting steel members to provide the necessary ductility for seismic demands. An improved response surface method with importance sampling is used to perform reliability-based seismic analyses. Peak inter-storey drift is selected as the main performance criterion as it is typically an indicator of overall damage to the structure. Uncertainties involving ground motions, weight (mass), stiffness and connection properties of the lateral load resisting system are considered in formulating the performance functions. A series of nonlinear dynamic analyses is run to generate the response database and the reliability index is evaluated using first-order reliability method (FORM) and importance sampling (IS) methods. The results show that the ductility reduction factor does not significantly influence the reliability index, while the structural weight and the hold-down stiffness play significant roles.

description: “Social responsibility and digital culture”

In an era marked by exponentially growing change and unprecedented challenges to democratic governance and human rights, the role of libraries emerges as crucial in safeguarding the fundamental values that underpin our societies. Libraries act as gatekeepers of information, ensuring equitable access to knowledge for all members of society, regardless of background or location. By curating diverse collections and promoting information literacy initiatives, libraries empower individuals to engage critically with information, thereby fortifying the pillars of democratic governance. As repositories of human knowledge and experience, libraries provide sanctuary for marginalized voices. However, the challenges facing research libraries in the 21st century are manifold. From the proliferation of misinformation to the digital divide, libraries must navigate a complex landscape to fulfill their mission effectively. Nevertheless, by leveraging emerging technologies and embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion, (research) libraries can continue to serve as catalysts for positive social change. Libraries make cultural heritage accessible and tangible. In their function as memory institutions they combine the past, present and future. They open up inspiring worlds of knowledge for education and research and are reliable sources and places for social dialogue.

This talk gives examples from the perspective of the German National Library but also from the perspective of the Conference of European National Librarians (CENL) how AI, research data infrastructures as well as cultural education and outreach contribute to the crucial role libraries play in the service of society.

Subjects: gravity, spacetime, wave-based gravity, vacuum suppression, electromagnetic field, quantum compression, gravitational lensing, light as spacetime, general relativity, gravitational potential, wave propagation, quantum gravity, coherent photon modes, impedance gradient, emergent gravity

description: This paper proposes a new theoretical framework in which light is not merely a particle or wave propagating through spacetime, but the oscillatory foundation of spacetime itself. In this model, gravity emerges as the suppression of vacuum oscillatory modes due to the presence of dense quantum matter. By treating coherent photon modes as the physical substrate of spacetime, the theory unifies electromagnetic propagation and gravitational effects under a single wave-based mechanism. Computational simulations demonstrate how quantum compression density leads to gravitational potentials, field gradients, and lensing behavior without requiring spacetime curvature. This approach provides testable predictions and offers a new path toward quantum-gravitational unification.

description: The seismic performance of a multistory timber-steel hybrid building system with steel moment resisting frame, timber-steel hybrid diaphragms, and in-fill light frame wood shear walls has been studied. This paper focuses on the seismic reliability of the lateral load resisting system in such hybrid structures. The seismic performance of such hybrid systems has been evaluated using two reliability assessment methods with the consideration of the uncertainties from ground motion, intensity measure and structural resistance. One method was the fragility analysis which calculates the exceeding probability of drift demand from conditional distributions under given seismic intensity levels. Combined with a seismic hazard analysis, the failure probabilities for the timber-steel hybrid systems were obtained. The other method was response surface method (RSM), and polynomial functions were used to represent the seismic response surfaces. Non-performance probabilities were then evaluated by FORM with respect to different performance targets. Results from the two methods were compared showing similar results. However, the reliability indices obtained from RSM were lower than those obtained from fragility analysis. This was mainly due to the additional uncertainties considered in RSM. The associated reliability indices and failure probabilities for the timber-steel hybrid structures were also presented. Both methods may serve as tools for the reliability assessment of timer-steel hybrid structural systems, which supports more of its practical applications.
AI-Augmented Creativity: Evaluating the Role of Generative Models in Music Composition
Creators: name: Researchscholar
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly influential force in the domain of creative expression, with generative models now playing a significant role in music composition. These models, particularly those built on deep learning architectures, are capable of producing melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and full musical pieces in a variety of styles. While AI's contributions to music composition raise questions about authorship, originality, and artistic value, they also open new pathways for human-machine collaboration and creative augmentation. This paper explores the foundational technologies behind AI-generated music, including recurrent neural networks, transformers, and variation auto encoders. It investigates the use of generative models in both autonomous composition and co- creative systems. Use cases in film scoring, commercial music production, and educational tools are analyzed. Real- world applications and collaborations between musicians and AI systems are reviewed to understand the strengths and limitations of current technologies. Ethical and philosophical considerations surrounding creativity, intellectual property, and cultural representation are discussed. Finally, the paper considers the challenges of musical coherence, expressivity, and human-AI interaction, and outlines future directions in multimodal creativity, personalized composition, and real-time improvisation. AI-augmented music composition stands as a dynamic intersection of technology and art, expanding the boundaries of what it means to create music.

description: This study examines the relationship between perceived social support and self-identity among highersecondary school students, within the age group of 15 to 18 years. Using the Modified Marcia IdentityQuestionnaire (MMIQ) and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), data werecollected face-to-face from a sample of 250 higher secondary school students using standardizedmeasures, to assess how perceived social support influences self-identity.

Reliability analysis of systems based on survival signature

description: It is essential to conduct a reliability analysis of systems with multiple types of components, and deal with the uncertainties within the components failure time distribution. Moreover, finding the most “critical” component in the system at a certain time facilitates a risk management. In this paper, we introduce the survival signature into a real world hydro power plant system and solve the epistemic uncertainties in the component’s failure time distribution. By implementing a relative importance index for each component, we can derive the reliability trend of the system depending on a component failure. The results show that the survival signature used on reliability analysis can help us deal with real world systems with more than one component type as well as to get bounds on system responses concerning epistemic uncertainties.

Evaluating desktop methods for assessing liquefaction-induced damage to infrastructure for the insurance sector

Year: 2015

description: The current method used by insurance catastrophe models to account for liquefaction simply applies a factor to shaking-induced losses based on liquefaction susceptibility. There is a need for more sophisticated methods but they must be compatible with the data and resource constraints that insurers have to work with. This study compares five models: liquefaction potential index (LPI) calculated from shear-wave velocity; two implementations of the HAZUS software methodology; and two models based on USGS remote sensing data. Data from the September 2010 and February 2011 Canterbury (New Zealand) earthquakes is used to compare observed liquefaction occurrences to predictions from these models using binary classification performance measures. The analysis shows that the best performing model is LPI although the correlation with observations is only moderate and statistical techniques for binary classification models indicate that the model is biased towards positive predictions of liquefaction occurrence.

Multisensory Descriptive Tours for All: Access to Cultural Venues through AVT

description: Tourism is a means to promote intercultural exchange while boosting a country’s social welfare and economy. Tourism can be improved and attract more people if it provides inclusive experiences to all visitors including those who have disabilities or are differently abled. This inclusive approach to approach is known as Accessible Tourism. Providing accessibility entails removing barriers and constrains a feat that can be achieved through audiovisual translation. Audio guides are often provided in buses, cultural venues and museums, but seldom do they take into account the needs of people with special needs. In modern visiocentric societies, people with sensory impairment—blindness or low vision, in particular—find it difficult to access the world around them. The audio guides provided at tourist attraction fail to provide the descriptive detail necessary to allow people to “see” space, shape or color, among other things, through the mind’s eye. Descriptive guides may be the solution for those situations. This thesis accounts for the development of a descriptive guide for Katara following three distinct techniques: nominative description, description with movement and description with touch. Further to discussing the process of scripting a descriptive guide, this thesis also accounts for its validation outcomes to show how this audiovisual translation type might contribute to the enjoyment of a visit to a cultural venue in the context of local tourism.

description: This research introduces the Neurodynamic Cognitive Systems Model (NCSM) — a mesoscopic, biologically grounded architecture for modeling real-time cognitive state transitions. NCSM integrates predictive processing, oscillatory control, and cognitive mode arbitration into a recursive control framework, explaining how the brain preserves coherence under uncertainty.

 

The model formalizes a three-layer system:

NPPE (Neurocognitive Predictive Processing Engine) handles generative modeling and error detection

DCSM (Dynamic Cognitive Systems Model) organizes cognition into five quasi-stable modes

CSTP (Cognitive Synchronization and Transition Protocol) regulates transitions via oscillatory gating and precision-weighted arbitration

NCSM produces testable predictions involving theta–gamma coupling, mode transition dynamics, and system breakdown under overload. This architecture serves as a bridge between cognitive neuroscience, clinical modeling (e.g., ADHD, PTSD), and next-generation AI systems, offering both falsifiability and simulation scaffolding.

 

This upload includes the full manuscript, validation logic, simulation pseudocode, and empirical protocols. It is intended as the foundation for an open, collaborative, and self-funded PhD research initiative.
2D Functionalized Nanosheets: From Scalable Exfoliation to Applications

description: This thesis presents a protocol for the scalable production of high-quality 2D nanosheets. The process involves a comprehensive literature review on existing technologies for scalable production of 2D materials, followed by a study of using high-viscosity polyethyleneimine (PEI) assisted ball-milling exfoliation to achieve scalable production of monolayer graphene. The sticky milling method has also demonstrated its high exfoliation efficiency towards other different layered materials including traditional dense crystals and porous synthetic frameworks. After obtaining the nanosheets, an interesting application in the field of energy harvesting was demonstrated by designing a nanosheet-Polymer-Hydrogel (NPH) composite generator that can harvest energy from CO2 adsorption to achieve carbon adsorption and energy acquisition simultaneously.

description: This study examines the relationship between perceived social support and self-identity among highersecondary school students, within the age group of 15 to 18 years. Using the Modified Marcia IdentityQuestionnaire (MMIQ) and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), data werecollected face-to-face from a sample of 250 higher secondary school students using standardizedmeasures, to assess how perceived social support influences self-identity. The results indicate a weak butstatistically significant positive correlation (r = .155, p = .014), suggesting that students with higherperceived social support tend to have a slightly stronger sense of self-identity. However, the findingsimply that social support is not the sole determinant of self-identity, as other psychological, social, andenvironmental factors contribute to identity development. The study highlights the importance of fosteringsupportive social environments, particularly through family, peers, and mentors, to enhance adolescentidentity formation.
