Cost-optimization based target reliability for fire design of insulated steel columns
Adequacy of a structural fire design can in theory be demonstrated through a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) where the compliance with tolerability limits and the ALARP requirement are explicitly ascertained.

Reliability of Systematic and Targeted Biopsies versus Prostatectomy
Systematic Biopsy (SBx) has been and continues to be the standard staple for detecting prostate cancer. The more expensive MRI guided biopsy (MRITBx) is a better way of detecting cancer. The prostatectomy can provide an accurate condition of the prostate. The goal is to assess how reliable SBx and MRITBx are vis à vis prostatectomy.
