Introduction

The various setbacks to developing and authenticating input distributions are well known in any institutions that deal with risk assessment and analysis. Due to all these, it has been given a considerable attention more recently. There are various strategies of estimating probability distribution from either empirical data or standard approaches, which are limit practical effectiveness especially whenever such data available are limited. Whenever such cases presents themselves, certain mechanisms and strategies are employed. Such include maximum entropy criteria which actually synthesizes distribution from priori constraints. The other mechanism is to employ the use of ‘default’ such include the triangle or ...

Real Estate Securities, Portfolio Construction and Down-side Risk Analysis

Securitized Real Estate Market In Malaysia:
The securitized real estate market in Malaysia is dominated by listed property companies and the REIT(Real Estate Investment Trusts).

The health risk assessment of MRI is incomplete yet and a number of gaps in our knowledge about the ill-effects of MRI have been identified. The effects of exposure to static fields above 8 T are not known. Only a little is known about the increased sensitivity of some people to CNS stimulation by the electric fields in switched gradient fields. There are concerns about the increased heat loads on infants and pregnant women. Hence, well-targeted research is required to complete the health risk assessment (Health Protection Agency, 2008). ...

Specific Aims and Hypotheses

Background and Significance
The main active chemical ingredient in Cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), although it has over 60 other cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are chemicals that make up Cannabis. THC works with cannabinoid receptors of the brain that work in conjunction with thinking, memory, pleasure, and balance/coordination. Many health professionals support the legalization of drugs citing the fact that 70-80% of patient receiving medical marijuana report significant relief from pain. Research suggests that compared to opiate based pain medications, Cannabis is considered a safer alternative in some cases as there is no lethal dose. Statistics also indicate that marijuana “has lower ...

PART 1

Delivery Delay
One of the risk categories that is related to freight transportation is transport can easily be interrupted when the weather is not favorable. During winter seasons rivers and lakes freeze thus the services are likely to be interrupted for several months. Drought conditions on the other hand can also interrupt the transport since the water levels are likely to be lowered thus restricting the flow of traffic. Generally weather is a major risk factor to this mode of transport (Novack, 2011).

Among economists and demographers such as Wolfers and Friedberg, the steady rise of divorce rates from the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s has been the debate. Between this years it was discovered that women who are in their 20s contributed to averagely 60% of the rise. Researchers have keenly focused on demonstrating the increasing divorce rates by testing the changes in the economic empowerment of women (Nunley, 2010) and changes in the divorce laws in the early 1970s (Wolfers 2006; Friedberg 1998).
The agreement from the divorce literature laws suggests the reforms led to a tiny transitory increase ...

Skin cancer is a growing epidemic around the world and rates of incidence rise every year (between 1992 and 2006, the increase was up to 77%). Skin cancer is usually directly related to ultraviolet radiation, especially from the sun and tanning beds. Additionally, there is a misconception that winter sun is less harmful than summer sun, which indirectly leads to numerous cases of skin cancer. Many skin cancers are treatable if detected early; however, prevention of unsafe sun exposure would decrease the number of diagnoses. Nurse practitioners have a great role in health promotion and skin cancer prevention, simply ...

As observed by the United Nations Convention, most of the international sanctions originate from political situations between two or more countries that share a common trade base or interact in business and commercial activities. Sanctions are thus defined as restrictions that are imposed on countries for political reasons but directly affect the economic situations in the affected country or the well being of the citizens involved. The international law of contract seems to care less about the effect of these sanctions on the citizens, who most of the time have no direct role in the cause of the differences in ...
