A study of methods for including uncertainty in Seismic PSA [PDF]
, 2018 This thesis reviews current methodologies for conducting seismic Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PSA) for nuclear power plants, focussing on methods allowing for uncer- tainties in PSA input data. The techniques used to characterise earthquake ground motion and component failure probabilities (fragilities) and their uncertainties are described, and the ...

An investigation into minichromosomal maintenance proteins (MCMs) for the diagnosis of prostate cancer, as a possible alternative to prostate specific antigen (PSA) [PDF]
, 2005 The current strategy for the diagnosis of prostate cancer includes serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) measurement. There is however debate into its specificity and sensitivity, so new diagnostic markers are under investigation.

Seismic Ground Response Analysis of Input Earthquake Motion and Site Amplification Factor at KUET
Journal of the Civil Engineering Forum, 2021 Ground motion is the movement of the earth's surface due to explosions or the propagation of seismic waves. In the seismic design process, ground response analysis evaluates the impact of local soil conditions during earthquake shaking.

Development of an earthquake-induced landslide risk assessment approach for nuclear power plants
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2018 Despite recent advances in multi-hazard analysis, the complexity and inherent nature of such problems make quantification of the landslide effect in a probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) of NPPs challenging.
