The epistemology of fault tree analysis: an ethical critique
Fault tree analysis (FTA) is one of the preeminent methods for testing the reliability, trustworthiness, and safety of engineered systems. Given their pervasiveness as a major tool for assessing the risks of technology, it is imperative that methodologies such as FTA are valid and sound. If a safety assessment based on an FTA is erroneous, the system may fail to work as expected. In this paper I ...

Evaluation of a mining project using Discounted Cash Flow analysis, Decision Tree analysis, Monte Carlo Simulation and Real Options using an example
Investments in the mining and minerals industry are considered to be risky. The major challenge of project evaluation is how to deal with the uncertainty involved in capital investment. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) methods, Decision Trees (DT), Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and Real Options (RO) are commonly used for evaluating mining projects. This paper briefly reviews the previous studies, ...

Increased inbreeding and inter-species gene flow in remnant populations of the rare Eucalyptus benthamii
Eucalyptus benthamii Maiden & Cambage is a forest tree of interest for conservation and plantation forestry. It is vulnerable to extinction, occurring on the alluvial floodplains of the Nepean River and its tributaries, south-west of Sydney, Australia. These floodplains were largely cleared of native vegetation for agriculture by the mid-1800s. Flooding of the Cox Valley for Sydneys water supply ...
