Tapwater exposures, residential risk, and mitigation in a PFAS-impacted-groundwater community

Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts
Assessment in a hydrologically-vulnerable, Mississippi River community revealed cumulative risks from co-occurring inorganic/organic contaminants, including PFAS, in alluvial-aquifer-sourced tapwater but not in deeper, sandstone-aquifer tapwater.

The Role of Price Risk Management in Mitigating Fed Cattle Profit Exposure

Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2008
This study identifies the amount and origin of risk in cattle feedlot operations through the use of simulation techniques. Ex ante profit risks are evaluated under scenarios with varying levels of price protection through the use of forward pricing. An empirical probability density function is simulated to capture the mean and variability in prices and

Consistent Provisions Mitigate Exposure to Sexual Risk and HIV Among Young Adolescents in South Africa [PDF]

AIDS and Behavior, 2019
AbstractExposure to sexual risk in early adolescence strongly predicts HIV infection, yet evidence for prevention in young adolescents is limited. We pooled data from two longitudinal South African surveys, with adolescents unexposed to sexual risk at baseline (n = 3662).

A framework for large-scale risk assessment of road-related impacts, with application to mustelids

Global Ecology and Conservation
Roads, while crucial for human development and economic growth, pose significant threats to biodiversity. Large-scale road risk assessments are essential for guiding infrastructure planning, particularly in identifying areas to avoid new construction or ...

Disease management mitigates risk of pathogen transmission from maricultured salmonids

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2015
Open marine net pens facilitate virus and sea lice transfer, occasionally leading to infections and outbreaks of disease in farmed salmon. A review of 3 salmon pathogens (infectious salmon anaemia virus [ISAV], salmon alphavirus [SAV] and the salmon ...

Does prioritization of COVID vaccine distribution to communities with the highest COVID burden reduce health inequity?

Journal of Infection and Public Health
Background: Communities hardest-hit by early SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks accrued more immunity, but prioritizing these communities for vaccination could reduce health disparities.

Inherent Risk Analysis of Power Supply Management: Case of Belize’s System Operator and Third-Party Actors

Energies
System operators (SOs) manage power supply, focusing on risk management. In small emerging economies, proactive risk management is crucial as major disruptions require SOs to redirect resources into recovery efforts.

Mitigating Exposure Bias in Risk-Aware Time Series Forecasting with Soft Tokens

Autoregressive forecasting is central to predictive control in diabetes and hemodynamic management, where different operating zones carry different clinical risks. Standard models trained with teacher forcing suffer from exposure bias, yielding unstable multi-step forecasts for closed-loop use.
