Models for carbon (C) stock assessment are widely applied in forest science, and mainly differ according to the scale of application, required data, objectives their implementation. This work presents methodology implemented into second version an empirical model, WOody biomass Carbon ASsessment (WOCAS v2), that uses data management plans (FMP) calculate mass wood (t∙year−1 dry matter, DM) C C)...

We studied subarachnoid hemorrhage in the population of Rochester, Minnesota, for the 40-year period from 1945 through 1984. The average annual incidence rate of subarachnoid hemorrhage in Rochester has remained constant at approximately 11 per 100,000 population. Age-specific incidence rates increased with age. However, the average annual mortality rate for subarachnoid hemorrhage in Rochester...

A fluorescence antibody test with monoclonal antibodies was used to determine the subgroup (A or B) of respiratory syncytial virus from infants hospitalized in Caen, France, over eight consecutive epidemics from 1982 to 1990. From 1982 to 1985, 27 (30%) out of 90 frozen nasal slides were classified as subgroup A strains and 63 (70%) were classified as subgroup B. B strains predominated over A i...

In 1984, 5,010 people in the United States lost their lives in fires; almost 90% of them died in residential fires (National Center fo r Health Statistics [NCHS], unpub­ lished data). To assess the regional distribution o f these deaths,* 1978-1984 mortality data collected by NCHSf were analyzed. While an average of 4,897 persons died in residential fires each year during the period 1978-1984 (...

This study finds that the break-even point for child safety seat misuse reduction programs and vehicle and seat design improvements is dollars 121 a year per child seat in use, annual misuse reduction program cost is dollars 6, and Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) cost dollars 13 annually per seat in use (in 2004 dollars). To estimate societal injury cost savings we compared tow-a...

Annual figures collected by the Samaritans from the Registrar Generals' figures for suicides for the years 1984-2002 inclusive were analysed. Trends by gender, age group, marital status and method were examined. Suicide rates were standardised where appropriate. The mean annual rate was calculated for the 10 year period 1984-1993 and compared with the nine year period 1994-2002. The mean annual...

Treatment of adults with acute myeloblastic leukemia has changed substantially over the past two decades. Currently available estimates of survival do not reflect results from present state-of-the-art treatment due to a lag between the availability of new treatments and data concerning their effect on survival on the population level when traditional cohort analysis is used. We estimated trends...

The 84.3 million workers protected by workers' compensation laws in 1985 represented 87 percent of all wage and salary workers in that year. Both the amount of benefits paid to workers and the cost of the program to employers rose substantially from 1984 to 1985. Benefit payments totaled $22.5 billion-14.1 percent higher than in 1984 and the largest annual increase since 1978-79. About two-thir...

Abstract Increases in minimum air temperatures have facilitated transitions of salt marshes to mangroves along coastlines the southeastern United States. Numerous studies documented mangrove expansion into marshes; however, a present‐day conversion oyster reefs islands has not been documented. Using aerial photographs and high‐resolution satellite imagery, we determined percent cover number pat...
