The integration of the adverse outcome pathway framework to radiation risk assessment
International Journal of Radiation Biology, 2020A large body of radiobiological data has been generated over the past century using in vitro, animal and epidemiological models. This information represents global efforts to understand the mechanistic basis of radiation-induced health effects. However, it has been difficult to effectively integrate this data to derive meaningful information for ...

A transfer pathway modeling template for radiological environmental risk assessment
Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2010As radioactive human doses are calculated through food chain and exposure pathways, it is important to take a pathway analysis to determine all pathway contributions for further radiological environmental risk assessment. A challenge of contaminant fate and environmental pathway analysis is to handle a large number of environmental components and to ...

Making assessments while taking repeated risks: A pattern of multiple response pathways.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2014Beyond simply a decision process, repeated risky decisions also require a number of cognitive processes including learning, search and exploration, and attention. In this article, we examine how multiple response pathways develop over repeated risky decisions.

Alien vertebrate risk assessment and invasion pathway modelling
2018Alien species are a key driver of the ongoing biodiversity crisis. Changing patterns in the number and identity of transported alien species, and recent changes in the importance of different pathways for transporting alien species (e.g., recent decline in the role of acclimatisation societies vs.

Multi-pathway assessment of human health risk posed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 2015To assess aggregate exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) via several environmental media and pathways, a probabilistic framework for multi-pathway health risk assessment that integrates PAHs potency equivalence factors, risk estimation modeling, and Monte Carlo simulation was applied to a case study in Nanjing, which is an important ...

Applying the skin sensitisation adverse outcome pathway (AOP) to quantitative risk assessment
Toxicology in Vitro, 2014As documented in the recent OECD report 'the adverse outcome pathway for skin sensitisation initiated by covalent binding to proteins' (OECD, 2012), the chemical and biological events driving the induction of human skin sensitisation have been investigated for many years and are now well understood.

An Improved Environmental Pathway Model for Assessing High-level Waste Repository Risks
Health Physics, 1987An environmental pathway model useful for assessing the postclosure radiological risks from high-level waste repositories has been developed. The model describes more fully than its predecessors the long-term build-up of radionuclides in the biosphere and is consequently better suited to the analysis of the prolonged radionuclide releases potentially ...

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2019
Abstract Disaster risk is a combination of natural hazards, along with society's exposure and vulnerability to them. Therefore, to ensure effective, long-term disaster risk reduction we must consider the dynamics of each of these components and how they change over extended periods due to population, economic and climatic drivers, as well as policy ...

Osteoporosis International, 2013
Vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) scanning is a useful tool to aid vertebral fracture identification. In this evaluation, we show that introduction of a comprehensive fracture risk assessment pathway incorporating VFA has enhanced diagnosis of vertebral fractures and improved targeting of investigations and treatment.Vertebral fractures are a common ...
