Prediction of Torque Arm Fatigue Life by Fuzzy Logic Method

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings
In this study, a fuzzy-logic-based decision support model is developed to predict the fatigue life of load-bearing system elements such as torque arm. Traditional methods for fatigue life prediction are mostly based on certain mathematical expressions ...

When Is an Audit “Good Enough”? Professional Ambiguity and Strategic Sensemaking During an Audit Oversight Inspection Quand un audit est‐il « assez réussi » ? Ambiguïté professionnelle et construction stratégique de sens lors d'une surveillance des audits

open access: yesContemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper draws on the social control and sensemaking literatures to study how a Big 4 audit firm in the Netherlands sought to contest the national oversight body's inspection findings on one of its audit engagements. Our case study leads us to develop the concept of professional ambiguity to capture the multiple, coexisting meanings and ...

Improving the use of expert opinion in disease risk analysis for conservation translocations

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation translocations are subject to considerable uncertainty and risk, of which disease is one of the most recognized. To address disease risks, several protocols for qualitative disease risk analysis (qDRA) exist and are used for responsible conservation translocation planning.
