The increase in the frequency and severity of climatic natural disasters along with the growth of industrialization has accelerated the demand for development of dedicated methodologies for risk assessment and management of Natechs. Due to a lack of accurate and sufficient data, risk assessment of Natechs has largely been based on subjective assumptions and imprecise probabilities, making the assessed risks and the subsequent risk management strategies deficient in terms of cost-effectiveness. In the present study, evidence theory, as an effective technique for dealing with imprecise probabilities, and Bayesian network, as an effective tool for reasoning under uncertainty, are combined to develop a methodology for risk analysis of Natechs based on imprecise probabilities with no attempt to increase the precision of the input data but the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of the outcomes. Flotation of oil tanks during floods has been considered to exemplify the methodology. The methodology is demonstrated to outperform conventional approaches where average probabilities or generic probability distributions are used instead of interval probabilities for risk assessment and management.</p>","PeriodicalId":9400,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering","volume":"102 10","pages":"3333-3344"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cjce.25349","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141193832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially, the dung beetle population is initialized using piecewise linear chaotic map (PWLCM) chaotic mapping in order to increase its variety and the DBO algorithm's capacity for global exploration. Furthermore, adaptive weighting in the DBO algorithm is now balanced between the capabilities of local exploitation and global exploration with the addition of adaptive weights. After that, in order to improve the DBO algorithm's capacity for local exploitation, a triangle wandering strategy is included during the dung beetle reproductive phase. Finally, using both Lévy flying wandering and greedy strategy (GS) together make it easier to take advantage of opportunities in both local and global areas.

Using a randomized feature map, the process data is first mapped onto a randomized explicit low-dimensional feature space. Compared to kernel methods, explicit low-dimensional random Fourier features considerably reduce the computational cost, particularly for real-time fault diagnosis for a large training dataset or a large-scale process. Additionally, the local structure information contained in the randomized low-dimensional feature space is extracted. The fault diagnosis performance is improved through the exploration of the local structure of random Fourier features.
