A Game-Theoretic Analysis Of The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Peter Revesz Nov 2014

A Game-Theoretic Analysis Of The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Peter Revesz

CSE Conference and Workshop Papers

Although nuclear non-proliferation is an almost universal human desire, in practice, the negotiated treaties appear unable to prevent the steady growth of the number of states that have nuclear weapons. We propose a computational model for understanding the complex issues behind nuclear arms negotiations, the motivations of various states to enter a nuclear weapons program and the ways to diffuse crisis situations.


Development Of A Method For Incorporating Fault Codes In Prognostic Analysis, Eric Allen Strong May 2014

Development Of A Method For Incorporating Fault Codes In Prognostic Analysis, Eric Allen Strong

Doctoral Dissertations

Information from fault codes associated with a component may be used as an indicator of its health. A fault code is defined as a timestamp at which a component is not operating according to recommended guidelines. The type of fault codes which are relevant for this analysis represent mild or moderate deviations from normal behavior, rather than those requiring immediate repair. Potentially, fault codes may be used to determine the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of a component by predicting its failure time, which will improve safety and reduce maintenance costs associated with the component. In this dissertation, methods have been …
