"Some of the greatest advancements in twentieth-century medicine were achieved by identifying and preventing infectious diseases through vaccination, improved sanitary measures, improved nutrition, and diminished hazards of environmental contaminants," adds Alan Brown, an associate professor of clinical psychiatry and epidemiology at Columbia University Medical Center.
After adjustment for these factors, the prognostic importance of the fusion protein was not diminished (hazard ratio=8.6; 95% CI=3.6 20.6, P<0.0001) (Table 2).
Because the issue of forecasting GDF evolution and behaviour over very long time periods lies at the core of geological disposal, particular emphasis is placed on matching containment requirements with diminishing hazard potential over many thousands of years.
None of the factors diminished the hazard ratio below 1.61, and the imbalance in prior surgical debulking increased the hazard ratio to 1.77.
The time-dependent terms suggest that the absence of ascites and endometroid histology have effects that diminish (the hazard ratios tend towards 1) with time.
Some participants were cognoscente of the fact that the levy intentionally serves to diminish moral hazard and perceived this positively "…Cos people would get them for nothing, they'd just throw them there and take what they want.
This effect could be characteristic of the antioxidant activity of the S. cordata SCEE fraction used, which markedly diminished the oxidative hazard and paved to reinstatement of normal physiological features.
This paper presents an analysis of the problem based on physical and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and the result of this analysis in the form of design suggestions intended to diminish the hazards associated with rollers.
A recent analysis of the MoBa cohort, using the discrete-time Cox proportional hazard model, also reported diminished fecundability at increasing concentrations of PFOA (FOR 0.83; 95% CI 0.75 0.91) (Ding et al., 2014).
Stress is a hazard of medical training and can inhibit learning and diminish performance.
Consequently, climate change's influence on disaster risk is much more on the hazard side than on the vulnerability side, affecting hazard parameters so that sometimes the hazard is exacerbated and sometimes the hazard is diminished.
