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 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.
3 The paper also argues that it is important for targeted interventions to define the "vulnerability" of their target group prior to project design and implementation, given that factors shaping vulnerability are context-specific and project strategies need to respond accordingly.
Defining the concept of vulnerability appears nevertheless a complicated task because it is characterized by multiple meanings with respect to various disciplines or targeted objectives (Reghezza 2006).
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 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.
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.
Used as a guideline, the Green Paper defines the terms "threat," "vulnerability," and "risk" according to an understanding in which risk is related to the probability of a potentially damaging event and its subsequent impact.
A necessary first step is to define the notion of "vulnerability".
