Strict interconnections among risk factors often occur so that indirect effects on the overall project performance are very likely. Unfortunately, the implications of interdependency are usually underestimated by project managers and decision makers si...
متن کاملNanotechnology : assessing the risks
technology, an enabling technology, and the next technological revolution. Even accounting for a certain level of hype, a heady combination of high-level investment, rapid scientific progress, and exponentially increasing commercialization point toward nanotechnology having a significant impact on society over the coming decades.

متن کاملAssessing and Managing the Risks of Potential Pandemic Pathogen Research
The ongoing controversy surrounding highly pathogenic avian influenza virus research has generated considerable discussion among virologists, public health researchers, and biosafety/biosecurity experts (1–3). The most recent pause in research instituted by the U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy calls for an independently performed risk-benefit analysis (RBA) to be completed within a ...
متن کاملAsteroids: Assessing Catastrophic Risks
We evaluate two risk profiles: i global warming risks and ii collisions with asteroids that can cause the extinction of our species. The expected values computed for these two risks suggest that no action will be taken to avoid extinction. The result is somewhat counterintuitive, but it is typical of the results of using classic decision theory to evaluate catastrophic risks in the distant futu...

Information in this paper can help readers evaluate the results of epidemiologic studies of waterborne disease risks. It is important that readers understand the various epidemiologic study designs, their strengths and limitations, and potential biases. Terminology used by epidemiologists to describe disease risks can be confusing. Thus, readers should not only evaluate the adequacy of the info...
