background: high fasting plasma glucose (fpg) is one of the main leading risk factors of ischemic heart disease (ihd), stroke, and chronic kidney diseases (ckds). we estimated population attributable fraction (paf) and attributed death of these fatal outcomes of high fpg at national and subnational levels in 25–64 years old iranian adult. methods: we used national and subnational data of the no...

This study equates a choice of methods that allow an organization to weigh their information security risk. The initial models went through two selection iterations before we end up with the final three Risks assessment models. The main purpose of the study is to compare and clarify the different activities, inputs and outputs required by each information security risk assessment models and als...

Economic evaluation involves the comparative analysis of the costs and consequences of alternative programmes or interventions. It has increasingly been used to inform decision making about healthcare in the United Kingdom and other industrialised nations. Randomised controlled trials are commonly used as a vehicle for economic evaluations. Indeed, many funders, such as the UK National Institut...

Risk management is the process that has to be applied to all areas of business. The paper sets out to discuss risk management primarily in the field of information systems. Numerous national and international standards have dealt with this field of work. American National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed standards, instructions and guidelines for particular issues rela...

The objectives of this research are to characterize urban building damage , using a comparative analysis of remote sensing imagery acquired before and after an earthquake event, and to develop preliminary damage detection algorithms for locating collapsed urban structures. R emote sensing technologies are emerging as useful post-earthquake damage evaluation tools. Recent studies in Japan, Europ...

Recent requirements to establish the credibility of the models and simulations (M&S) that are used in Department of Defense (DoD) applications have resulted in the development of several approaches to M&S credibility assessment. Each of these approaches attempts to integrate verification and validation (V&V) activities into a formal process whose products (hopefully) support M&S accreditation. ...

background: the use of chemicals is essential in education resulting in exposure to these pollutant in a variety of chemical and research laboratories. chemical contaminants in chemical laboratories are in different forms and chemical exposure risk assessment is important for choosing appropriate controls in protecting the health of operators, experts and students. for risk assessment in chemic...
