Scope of Project: In the Natural Disaster "Hotspots" project, completed with funding from the World Bank, we compiled existing hazard and loss data sets, and developed a simple methodology to calculate and grid the global geographic distribution of mortality and economic impact for a set of six natural hazards (earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes, storms, floods, and drought).
At the IRC, we have developed a simple methodology, called the 'Nutrition Label' approach, to assess the cost of a program relative to its achievements in the lives of beneficiaries.
This research is consistent with the overarching mission of personalized medicine by developing a simple methodology, addition of surfactant, to modify the release properties of an inhaled liposomal formulation.
This provides powerful impetus and a growing demand for researchers to develop a simple analytical methodology which will allow an accurate, sensitive, selective, and cost effective miRNA analysis at point-of-care.
We develop a simple and reliable methodology with a semiautomatic track count using a Nikon digital camera coupled to a PC and employing software "SCION" freely available on the Internet.
Nevertheless, greater efforts are still needed to develop a simple and objective methodology.
By accounting for market conditions in conjunction with reversal risk, we develop a simple offset valuation methodology, taking into account the two most important factors that typically lead offsets to be overvalued or undervalued.
The main motivation of this study is to develop a simple but efficient discrete optimization methodology for solving the optimum sizing problem.
This paper reports a first attempt to develop a simple, quantitative, non-destructive and inexpensive methodology to characterise the mineral composition of soil using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS).
