The workshop looked at the assessment of risk to aquatic animals exposed to anthropogenic sound. The discussion focused on marine mammals given the worldwide attention being paid to them at the present time, particularly in relationship to oil and gas exploration, ocean power, and increases in ship traffic.

Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, 1985
Major risks to human health and life are, indeed, as old as life itself. Whether we think of epidemics, hunger and malnutrition, famines, wars, violations of human rights, crime, natural disasters and swarms of other dangers, we cannot but be struck by their pantemporality and ubiquitousness.

Every genetic laboratory diagnosis carries some degree of uncertainty, even if only the risk of laboratory error. Increasingly, diagnosis is based on direct tests that tell us whether or not the patient carries a given mutation. In these cases formal risk analysis is scarcely necessary-although it is important to remember that the patient wants to know

Measuring Risk: Risk Analysis or Sensitivity Analysis?
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1995Abstract Governments in developing countries invest large amounts in public infrastructures. However, information on economic risk on the project level is hardly ever included in the assessment of a project’s feasibility. Practitioners normally restrict their analysis to one factor at a time sensitivity analysis, which is insufficient information to ...

Abstract Regulatory policies create a variety of risk–risk trade‐offs. People may engage in more risk‐taking behaviour in response to regulations that reduce the risks of their behaviour, as seatbelt use may encourage drivers to go faster and safety caps may create a ‘lulling effect’ whereby people are lulled into a fall sense of ...

Risk Analysis: Adversarial Risk
2016Intentional attacks against IT systems from motivated malicious attackers are the heart of the challenge in IT security. Malicious attackers work around your controls, actively hide from detection, and zero in on highly valuable systems and data. This chapter explores how you can analyze and predict adversarial attacks.

Fuzzy Risk Analysis Vs. Probability Risk Analysis
2001In this chapter, we discuss the essential difference between fuzzy risk analysis and probability risk analysis. Then, we use the method of the information distribution to improve probability estimate in the probability risk analysis, and we develop the method to calculate the fuzzy risk with respect to the possibility-probability.
