  2. 1. Pipe failure assessment and decision support system for a smart operation and maintenance : A comprehensive literature review and a conceptual decision analysis model proposal

    Author : Roya Meydani; John Leander; Andreas Lindhe; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Urban pipeline systems’ rehabilitation; Infrastructure management; Decision-modeling; Decision analysis; Problem structuring; Uncertainty; Bayesian decision theory; Utility-based decision-making.; Urbana ledningssystemsunderhåll; Infrastruktur förvaltning; Beslutsmod- ellering; Beslutsanalys; Problembeskrivning; Osäkerhet; Bayesiansk beslutsteori; Nyttobaserad beslutsmodell; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

    Abstract : The reported research provides a rough guide to the best practice of decision modeling concerning urban pipeline systems’ rehabilitation. The thesis aims to bring attention to the fact that a proper decision-making model is a cornerstone for efficient infrastructure management. READ MORE

  4. 2. Predictive Health Monitoring for Aircraft Systems using Decision Trees

    Author : Mike Gerdes; Petter Krus; Diego Galar; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Condition Monitoring; Condition Prediction; Failure Prediction; Decision Trees; Genetic Algorithm; Fuzzy Decision Tree Evaluation; System Monitoring; Aircraft Health Monitoring;

    Abstract : Unscheduled aircraft maintenance causes a lot problems and costs for aircraft operators. This is due to the fact that aircraft cause significant costs if flights have to be delayed or canceled and because spares are not always available at any place and sometimes have to be shipped across the world.

  5. 3. After Firm Failure : Emotions, learning and re-entry

    Author : Anna Jenkins; Johan Wiklund; Holger Patzelt; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Uncertainty is inherent to the entrepreneurship process. As such, the outcomes of entrepreneurial endeavors are unknown and unknowable a priori– some will be successful and others will fail. Entrepreneurship research, however, often focuses on new ventures and the entrepreneurs who own and run them in the start-up and growth phases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Ethical Issues in Cardiology Patients' views of information and decision-making

    Author : Anders Ågård; Medicinsk etik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Praktisk filosofi; estetik; metafysik; kunskapsteori; ideologi; ideology; decision-making; information disclosure; aesthetics; metaphysics; epistemology; ethics; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Systematic philosophy; Cardiovascular system; interview; atypical chest pain; acute myocardial infarction; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; implantable cardioverter defibrillator; heart failure; patient-caregiver communication; patient preference; informed consent;

    Abstract : The over-riding aim of this thesis was to obtain a deeper understanding of the way patients with cardiac problems view both information related to their health and medical decisions and their role in decision-making processes. An important objective was to identify reasons why patients do not ask for or assimilate information or why they do not want or feel that they are able to influence medical decisions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Learning Decision Trees and Random Forests from Histogram Data : An application to component failure prediction for heavy duty trucks

    Author : Ram Bahadur Gurung; Henrik Boström; Tony Lindgren; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; histogram decision trees; histogram random forest; prognostics; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : A large volume of data has become commonplace in many domains these days. Machine learning algorithms can be trained to look for any useful hidden patterns in such data. Sometimes, these big data might need to be summarized to make them into a manageable size, for example by using histograms, for various reasons. READ MORE
