چکیده
disability weight ð1Þ YLL 1⁄4 Number of deaths life expectancy at the age of death ð2Þ DALY 1⁄4 YLD þ YLL ð3Þ The philosophical and methodological aspects of the DALY calculation have been described (and debated) in great detail (Murray 1994; Murray and Acharya 1997; for critiques, see, amongst others, Anand and Hanson 1997), and are summarized in the accompanying Hints and Kinks paper (Devleesschauwer et al. 2014). The steps preceding the actual calculation, however, remain less well documented. This Hints and Kinks paper tries to address this gap by presenting a stepwise approach towards a DALY calculation.

Sterile neutrino states
Neutrino masses are likely to be a manifestation of the right-handed, or sterile neutrinos. The number of sterile neutrinos and the scales of their Majorana masses are unknown. We explore theoretical arguments in favor of the high and low scale seesaw mechanisms, review the existing experimental results, and discuss the astrophysical hints regarding sterile neutrinos. 1. Sterile neutrinos in pa...
متن کاملThe Influence of Linear Shapes on Solving Interval-Based Configuration Problems
Spatial configuration problems can be considered as a special kind of inference tasks, and can therefore be investigated within the framework of the well-established mental model theory of human reasoning. Since it is a wellknown fact that content and context affects human inference, we are interested to what extent abstract properties of linear shape curves conform to previous findings of inte...
متن کاملGains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach
By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...
متن کاملImproved immunogenicity of tetanus toxoid by Brucella abortus S19 LPS adjuvant.
BACKGROUND Adjuvants are used to increase the immunogenicity of new generation vaccines, especially those based on recombinant proteins. Despite immunostimulatory properties, the use of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an adjuvant has been hampered due to its toxicity and pyrogenicity. Brucella abortus LPS is less toxic and has no pyrogenic properties compared to LPS from other gram negati...
متن کاملSteady electrodiffusion in hydrogel-colloid composites: macroscale properties from microscale electrokinetics.
A rigorous microscale electrokinetic model for hydrogel-colloid composites is adopted to compute macroscale profiles of electrolyte concentration, electrostatic potential, and hydrostatic pressure across membranes that separate electrolytes with different concentrations. The membranes are uncharged polymeric hydrogels in which charged spherical colloidal particles are immobilized and randomly d...
