We defined the vulnerability of the population (vulnerable/non-vulnerable), type of risk (drug/non-drug), and need to protect the confidentiality of the information collected (genome/non-genome).
The approach taken here, using the SPEAR concept, assumes that the species traits that make SPEAR indicative of chemical stress by pesticides are also defining the vulnerability of macroinvertebrates to micropollutants present in WWTP effluent.
The cellular stoichiometry of Bcl-2 family members compared with their pro-apoptotic homolog, Bax, clearly defines the vulnerability of the cell to most death stimuli.
In order to define the seismic vulnerability of ancient brick masonries and to design restoration and retrofitting interventions, the estimation of masonry mechanical properties (e.g. Young's modulus, compressive strength, shear strength, etc). is of primary importance.
In order to define the tsunami human vulnerability of the region, two different aspects, vulnerability at location and evacuation resilience maps were created using the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) method of MCDA.
Using NAMI-DANCE code, they constructed vulnerability at location and evacuation resilience maps, using the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) method of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to define the tsunami human vulnerability of the region.
A necessary first step is to define the notion of "vulnerability".
In response, our study first defines the spatial vulnerability of a network system as the likelihood of a given system as a whole to be harmed from exposure to local hazards, such as rainstorms and earthquakes.
This observation has recently been translated into an approach to define the so-called ecosystem vulnerability distribution, as a method to account for ecosystem-specific boundary definition [72, 73].
We used the same biomarkers to examine prenatal CPF treatment so as to define the critical period of vulnerability.
