Quantitative two-dimensional shadowgraphic set-up for high-sensitivity measurement of low-density laser-plasmas [PDF]
, 2006 We present a quantitative shadowgraphic method which can measure the density of a laser-generated plasma in air with sensitivity and resolution comparable or better than traditional interferometric techniques. Simultaneous comparison of both shadowgraphy

Structural Reliability Sensitivities under Nonstationary Random Vibrations [PDF]
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2013 Response sensitivity evaluation is an important element in reliability evaluation and design optimization of structural systems. It has been widely studied under static and dynamic forcing conditions with deterministic input data. In this paper, structural response and reliability sensitivities are determined by means of the time domain covariance ...

Diagnostic accuracy of the Ottawa 3DY and Short Blessed Test to detect cognitive dysfunction in geriatric patients presenting to the emergency department [PDF]
, 2018 ObjectivesCognitive dysfunction (CD) is a common finding in geriatric patients presenting to the emergency department (ED). Our primary objective was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the Ottawa 3DY (O3DY) and Short Blessed Test (SBT) as screening ...

Importance and Sensitivity Analysis in Dynamic Reliability [PDF]
Methodology and Computing in Applied Probability, 2009 Consider a piecewise deterministic Markov process, characterized by different input data depending on some parameter \(p \in P\). The problem is to compute the first-order derivative with respect to the parameter \(p\) of some functional of the process, cumulated on a finite time interval \([0,t]\) and its asymptotic value per unit time.

Efficient Evaluation of Reliability-Oriented Sensitivity Indices [PDF]
Journal of Scientific Computing, 2019 The role of simulation keeps increasing for the reliability analysis of complex systems. Most of the time, these analyses can be reduced to estimating the probability of occurrence of an undesirable event, also called failure probability, using a stochastic model of the system.

Reliable Anti-Cancer Drug Sensitivity Prediction and Prioritization
Scientific Reports, 2023 Abstract The application of machine learning (ML) to solve real-world problems does not only bear great potential but also high risk. One fundamental challenge in risk mitigation is to ensure the reliability of the ML predictions, i.e., the model error should be minimized, and the prediction uncertainty should be estimated.

Reliability sensitivity analysis based on multi-hyperplane combination method
Defence Technology, 2014 For a nonlinear limit state function, the first-order reliability method (FORM) may cause large errors in the computation of not only the reliability index or failure probability but also the reliability sensitivity.
