Nonparametric inference on the hazard rate is an alternative to density estimation for positive variables which naturally deals with right censored observations. It is a classic topic of survival analysis which is here shown to be of interest in the applied context of seismic hazard assessment. This paper puts forth a new Bayesian approach to hazard rate estimation, based on building the prior ...

BACKGROUND In this study, we assessed the actively metabolizing bacteria in the rhizosphere of potato using two potato cultivars, i.e. the genetically-modified (GM) cultivar Modena (having tubers with altered starch content) and the near-isogenic non-GM cultivar Karnico. To achieve our aims, we pulse-labelled plants at EC90 stage with (13)C-CO2 and analysed their rhizosphere microbial communiti...

PURPOSE We conducted a study to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of breast cancer (BC) and outcome in a population of 14,684 women aged 55 to 69 years eligible to participate in the Mammography Screening Program (MSP) in the Province of Modena, Italy.
