Causes of Underinsurance against Natural Disasters
Why do relatively few individuals voluntarily purchase coverage against natural disasters? This question has important implications for public policy for two principal reasons: Uninsured victims of natural disasters may incur severe financial losses which will affect their future well-being. After a disaster the common lament is, "I wish that I had purchased insurance." General taxpayers may be...
متن کاملLeft ventricular dysfunction: causes, natural history, and hopes for reversal.
Left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) with subsequent congestive heart failure (CHF) constitutes the final common pathway for a host of cardiac disorders. Coronary artery narrowing or ischaemic heart disease is the dominant cause of heart failure and is often associated with acute or prior myocardial infarction. The remaining aetiologies include cardiomyopathy, hypertension, and a variety of other...
متن کاملNatural measles causes prolonged suppression of interleukin-12 production.
Among vaccine-preventable diseases, measles is the preeminent killer of children worldwide. Infection with measles virus (MV) is associated with prolonged suppression of cell-mediated immune responses, a phenomenon that is thought to underlie the susceptibility to secondary infections that accounts for most measles-related mortality. Interleukin (IL)-12 is critical for the orchestration of cell...
متن کاملThe Maximal Causes of Natural Scenes are Edge Filters
We study the application of a strongly non-linear generative model to image patches. As in standard approaches such as Sparse Coding or Independent Component Analysis, the model assumes a sparse prior with independent hidden variables. However, in the place where standard approaches use the sum to combine basis functions we use the maximum. To derive tractable approximations for parameter estim...
متن کاملRhythmic TMS Causes Local Entrainment of Natural Oscillatory Signatures
BACKGROUND Neuronal elements underlying perception, cognition, and action exhibit distinct oscillatory phenomena, measured in humans by electro- or magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG). So far, the correlative or causal nature of the link between brain oscillations and functions has remained elusive. A compelling demonstration of causality would primarily generate oscillatory signatures that are kn...
