The validation study compared the energy performance of the dwellings estimated by the proposed methodology with the energy performance calculated from actual survey and confirmed that the results are consistent.
Therefore, the energy performance of the dwellings estimated by the approach of the present research can be compared with the energy performance calculated from actual survey of the property.
Assuming a value for the ratio of the ventilation rate in a hospital and a dwelling, an estimate of a regional Hp(10)x-rays that undoes the protection against natural radiation at work can be calculated.
After finding that both the level of radon and external gamma radiation were considerably lower within the department than in dwellings, we estimated the personal x-ray dose equivalent that can be incurred without the effective dose becoming higher than it would be at home.
The number of dwellings was estimated using mesh-block data for the number of occupied private dwellings taken from the New Zealand 2006 census [ 29].
12 Inappropriate prescribing is higher among the elderly in LTC compared with community dwelling elderly, with estimates as high as 33 40%.
Inappropriate prescribing has been reported to be higher among elderly in long-term care, compared to community dwelling elderly, with estimates as high as 33%to40%0% [ 4- 6].
Joint logit models comprising both neighbourhood and dwelling attributes are estimated for all subjects and for various sub-samples classified by family income, age, education, nature of employment organization, district of current residence, etc.
As our data allow us to distinguish between the natural hazard event, which is the physical intensity of the 2010 earthquake, and the natural disaster impact (measured by a damage score of the dwelling), we first estimate vulnerability as the residual of a standard OLS model: g_{c}=theta_{0}+theta_{1}{pga}_{c}+upsilon_{c_{c}+upsilon_{c} (1).
Similarly, the estimates of dwelling time for tubulovillous type and villous type are 9.46 (1/0.1057) years and 3.60 (1/0.2779) years, respectively.
