EXPLORING RISK ASSESSMENT METHODS TO EXAMINE NEUROLOGICAL RISK DUE TO AIR TOXIC EXPOSURE IN MINNESOTA
… a few studies have examined the neurological risk from exposure to air toxics. The purpose of the study was to determine the correlation between sociodemographic variables and neurological risk due to exposure to air toxics. Also, spatial meth-ods were used to understand the distribution of …

Security Risk Assessment Methods: An Evaluation Framework and Theoretical Model of the Criteria Behind Methods' Success
Over the past decades a significant number of methods to identify and mitigate security risks have been proposed, but there are few empirical evaluations that show whether these methods are actually effective. So how can practitioners decide which method is the best for security risk assessment of …

MODELLING AND SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF MARITIME CONTAINER SUPPLY CHAIN RISKS
… supply chains (MCSCs) is exposed to various risks arising from both internal operations and the external environment, and the increasing complexity of the modern global logistics system makes the situation even worse, thus causing a significant challenge to the effective risk management of …

A System-Theoretic Approach to Risk Analysis
Traditional safety risk assessment methods focus on component failures instead of the hazards present before the failure occurs. A widespread assessment tool is a risk matrix that measures the probability and severity of a particular risk, focusing heavily on qualitatively assessing the problem and …

Development of Multi-Modality Imaging Cart for Barrett’s Esophagus
… adenocarcinoma (EAC), but current screening and risk assessment methods are ineffective and costly. Many BE cases remain undiagnosed due to asymptomatic patients, and existing risk algorithms rely on patient data rather than biomarkers. This work aims to start building a risk progression model by …

A Risk- and Fuzzy Set-Based Methodology for Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration Military Utility Assessment Design
… system development processes. Military utility assessments (MUA) are ACTDs' most critical features, but the lack of a standard for identifying assessment criteria tailored to specific demonstrations risks poorly informed acquisition decisions and the military operations those decisions are …

Technology maturity analysis for assessing capacity and schedule risk of future automation projects
The need to improve risk assessment methods for automation projects within United States manufacturers exists due to a shift toward increased in factory automation stemming from industry pressure to reduce manufacturing costs and increase production rates. This study explores the hypothesis that a …

Control risk as audit risk element assessment model /
… determinant of audit quality - this is audit risk which has to be assessed by auditor each time during audit. In order to assess the audit risk inherent risk element should be eliminated, and reduction of detection risk leads to increase of auditors work volume, which leads to a longer and / …

Critical review of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in fresh produce and process water
… (DBPs), which pose potential carcinogenic risks to human health. Despite the common use of disinfectants in produce processing and extensive research of DBPs in the drinking water field, studies investigating the DBP levels in fresh produce are quite limited. The research objectives of this …

An Exploratory Study Investigating the Time Duration of Slip-Induced Changes in Gait
… of slip and fall prevention strategies and risk assessment methods. Prior studies have shown changes in gait after slipping, and these changes can reduce the external validity of experimental results. As such, most researchers only slip participants one time. The ability to slip participants …

Applications of Event Data Recorder Derived Crash Severity Metrics to Injury Prevention
… (MASH) [4]. During roadside barrier tests, the assessment of occupant injury risk is crucial, as the purpose of the hardware is to prevent the vehicle from colliding with a more detrimental roadside object, all the while minimizing, and not posing additional, risk to the occupants. Unlike the …

White matter hyperintensities and lower extremity physical function before and after an aerobic exercise intervention in healthy older adults
… implications, such as falling and making risky pedestrian decisions. Modifiable lifestyle interventions, like physical activity, provide ways to mitigate or ameliorate the range of age-related declines. This dissertation examined the relationships between lower extremity physical function …

Identification of in vivo material properties of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm: towards noninvasive risk assessment
Advances in imaging techniques and numerical methods have made it possible to investigate biomechanics of the cardiovascular system on a patient-specific level. For the four key components in a in vivo patient-specific biomechanical analysis (geometries, loading and boundary conditions, material …

Sequencing Abandoned Wellsite Reclamations
… and is estimated using preliminary quantitative risk assessment methods. Data supporting this assessment is from publicly available environmental reports on completed wellsite reclamations. Adverse public responses to abandoned wellsites are treated as indicators of negative social impacts and …

Risk Assessment and Decision Making of Security in Container Port Facilities
Ports are exposed to various risks, both in their internal operation as well as external business interactions with other maritime logistics companies. While traditional safety and security policies are able to deal with accidents, theft, and hazard-based risks in ports, a new risk assessment is …

Analytic approach to risk assessment in Thailand's real estate development industry
This research aims to introduce an innovative risk assessment model to Thailand real estate's industry as well as to investigate the risk perception of Thai practitioners. A theoretical framework that was developed from a review of the extant literature was used in the subsequent stages of research …

Vulnerability Identification Errors in Security Risk Assessments
… to cybersecurity threats. Information security risk assessments help organisations to identify their risks and vulnerabilities. An accurate identification of risks and vulnerabilities is a challenge, because the input data is uncertain. So-called ’vulnerability identification errors‘ can occur …
