The current paper shows the hazard of focussing conservation measures on only one dimension of biodiversity without incorporating other dimensions like the human management of other habitats which had important functions for the development of habitats for the target biodiversity component in the pre-industrial agroecosystem.
In respect of hazard, the focus is on the impacts and costs to humans and the things we directly value such as life, health, property, and economic activity.
The assessment of seismic losses for structural systems through adoption of stochastic ground motion models for characterization of the seismic hazard is the focus of this study.
The consequence, then, is to perpetuate the hazard focus of many existing systems and accept the separation of climate change from disaster risk reduction and sustainable development processes.
Because the outcome, the length of time to injury, was equivalent to the predictor of interest, experience, this precluded the use of the commonly applied Cox PH model to evaluate how experience affected hazard of injury and directed the focus to the baseline hazard.
This framework and its toxicity decision triggers will allow for scientifically justified evaluation of chemicals that is comprehensive in terms of hazard screening, focuses resources on the specific complex tests that are most important for hazard characterization, and minimizes the use of animals.
When most people think about the health hazards of coal, they focus on the results of its combustion or maybe the notorious black lung disease suffered by coal workers, says Karen Johannesson, professor of earth and environmental studies at Tulane University in New Orleans.
Show graphic pictures of all of the possible health hazards of smoking, but focus more on the immediate effects.
While the official communications have been technical, board members have dwelled at length on nontechnical subjects -- chiefly, how NASA lost focus on the hazard of liftoff debris and did not heed some of its engineers' requests for military satellites to take pictures of possible damage during the flight.
In the past, probabilistic analyses of volcanic ash hazard have focused on quantitative assessments of the frequency and potential consequences of eruptions.
