Abstract At first glance, assessing future landslide‐exposed population appears to be a straightforward task if landslide hazard estimates, climate change, and projections are available. However, the intersection of with socioeconomic elements may result in significant variation estimated exposure due considerable variations projections. This study aims investigate effects different sources dat...

OBJECTIVE Environmental exposure to food sources may underpin area level differences in individual risk for overweight. Place of residence is generally used to assess neighbourhood exposure. Yet, because people are mobile, multiple exposures should be accounted for to assess the relation between food environments and overweight. Unfortunately, mobility data is often missing from health surveys....

The paper considers the problem of modelling association between two exposure variables in a matched case-control study, where both the exposures may be partially missing. The exposure variables could all be categorical or continuous or could be a mixed set of some categorical and some continuous variables. Association models for the missing exposure variables using the completely observed cova...

INTRODUCTION This paper describes the available exposure information for carcinogens in Great Britain and discusses some of the issues involved in using such data to inform an assessment of the attributable occupational cancer burden. METHODS Carcinogenic agents or occupations/industries such as hairdressers were identified from the list of International Agency for Research on Cancer groups 1...

42-year-old woman experienced an acute asthma attack, seizures, and unconsciousness immediately after a carpet-cleaning and deodorizing job was conducted in her home. Exposure modeling estimates that she was exposed to approximately 3.4-17 mg/m(3) of sodium tripolyphosphate and more than 14 mg/m(3) volatile organic compounds immediately after the cleaning. I derived two separate exposure models...

This study investigates the missing data problem in the Japan Meteorological Agency catalog of the Kumamoto aftershock sequence, which occurred since April 15, 2016, in Japan. Based on the assumption that earthquake magnitudes are independent of their occurrence times, we replenish the short-term missing data of small earthquakes by using a bi-scale transformation and study their influence on t...

The issue of normalization arises whenever two different values for a vector of unknown parameters imply the identical economic model. A normalization implies not just a rule for selecting which among equivalent points to call the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE), but also governs the topography of the set of points that go into a small-sample confidence interval associated with that MLE. A po...
