The design of control charts in statistical quality control addresses the optimal selection of the design parameters (such as the sampling frequency and the control limits) and includes sensitivity analysis with respect to system parameters (such as the various process parameters and the...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the climate benefit of investments in high speed rail-way lines given uncertainty in future transport demand, technology and power production. To capture the uncertainty of estimated parameters, distributions for the annual traffic emissions reduction...

The Urban Seismic Risk index (USRi) published in a previous article (Carreño et al., Nat Hazards 40:137–172, <CitationRef CitationID="CR8">2007</CitationRef>) is a composite indicator that measures risk from an integrated perspective and guides decision-making for identifying the main interdisciplinary factors of vulnerability to be...</citationref>

The development of fuel cells has progressed to portable applications recently. This paper conducts a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) of a spatially-smoothed non-isothermal model to correlate the performance of a 3D 5-cell planar solid oxide fuel cell (P-SOFC) stack with the variability of modeling...
