Application of more rigorous engineering assessment methods, such as probability of exceedance, to in-line inspection data provides a more reliable procedure for pipeline integrity management than ...

We investigate the asymptotic distribution of the number of exceedances among d identically distributed but not necessarily independent random variables (RVs) above a sequence of increasing thresholds ...

Gopala Vinjamuri, Blade Energy Partners, Woodbridge, Va. The practical application of a probability-of-exceedance approach within an integrity-management program assumes the availability of two ...

The concept of critical loads has been widely accepted as a basis for designing control strategies to reduce regional air pollution. Data from the "1000 lake survey" carried out in Norway in 1986 were ...
