Surficial Substrate Complexity of the Central Gulf of Maine as Observed Through Video Observation During a Fisheries Survey

Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Gulf of Maine is a geologically complex environment that supports a high diversity of plankton, invertebrates, and fish, including commercially important species. Its substrate heterogeneity is well known though existing high‐resolution substrate data are limited, hindering effective fisheries management.

A condition-based probabilistic safety assessment framework for the estimation of the frequency of core damage due to an induced steam generator tube rupture [PDF]

, 2019
Condition-Based Probabilistic Safety Assessment (CB-PSA) makes use of information on the components health conditions during operation to dynamically update the risk estimators (e.g., Core Damage Frequency (CDF)).

MHRA: Development of a MATLAB application for external multi-hazard probabilistic risk assessment for a nuclear facility

SoftwareX
Multi-hazard probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is essential for evaluating nuclear facility safety under interacting and cascading external events. Conventional PRA tools, primarily developed for single-hazard seismic events, are not well-suited for ...

Probabilistic seismic response analysis of tunnel linings considering coupled rock mass property and earthquake excitation uncertainties

Underground Space
Tunnel lining seismic performance is significantly influenced by the spatial variability of geological parameters and the uncertainty of earthquake excitation factors, which are conventionally treated in isolation.

Risk of sloshing in the primary system of a lead cooled fast reactor

, 2014
Pool-type designs of Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR) aim for commercial viability by simplified engineering solutions and passive safety systems. However, such designs carry the risks related to heavy coolant sloshing in case of seismic event.

Ecotoxicological Risk Assessment: Developments in PNEC Estimation [PDF]

, 2010
Ecotoxicological risk assessment must be undertaken before a chemical can be deemed safe for application. The assessment is based on three components: hazard assess- ment, exposure assessment and risk characterisation. The latter is a combination of the

Treating complex dynamics in probabilistic safety assessment: a case study from the process industry

, 2012
This paper deals with the performance of Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) on systems with complex dynamics (with plant behavior highly dependent on the values of the process parameters and timing of events).
