Determinants of dermal exposure among Nicaraguan subsistence farmers during pesticide applications with backpack sprayers.
OBJECTIVES Identification of pesticide exposure determinants has become an issue in explaining exposure variability and improving control measures. Most studies have been conducted in industrialized countries. The aim of this study was to identify relevant dermal exposure determinants among Nicaraguan subsistence farmers. METHODS Field data on possible determinants were collected during 32 pe...
متن کاملEcocultural attributes: evaluating ecological degradation in terms of ecological goods and services versus subsistence and tribal values.
It is becoming increasingly clear that scientists, managers, lawyers, public policymakers, and the public must decide how to value what is provided by, and is a consequence of, natural resources. While "Western" scientists have clear definitions for the goods and services that ecosystems provide, we contend that these categories do not encompass the full totality of the values provided by natur...
متن کاملAcoustic Applications and Technologies for Ambient Assisted Living Scenarios
The support of people in care is connected with enormous temporal as well as personal efforts. Awareness of increasing the efficiency of today’s care by using assistive technologies has arisen in recent years. Thus, the focus of this contribution is on the application of acoustic technologies to support users and care givers in ambient assisted living (AAL) scenarios. One of these applications ...
متن کاملEvaluating “What-If” Scenarios for Cloud-hosted Web Applications
Developers deploying web applications in the cloud often need to determine how changes to service tiers or runtime load may affect user-perceived page load time. We devise and evaluate a systematic methodology for exploring such “what-if” questions when a web application is deployed. Given a website, a web request, and “whatif” scenario, with a hypothetical configuration and runtime conditions,...
متن کاملStochastic bias-correction of daily rainfall scenarios for hydrological applications
The accuracy of rainfall predictions provided by climate models is crucial for the assessment of climate change impacts on hydrological processes. In fact, the presence of bias in downscaled precipitation may produce large bias in the assessment of soil moisture dynamics, river flows and groundwater recharge. In this study, a comparison between statistical properties of rainfall observations an...
