Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Applicability of Landslide Databases for Hazard Management Using Objective and Subjective Models: Australian Geoinformatic CaseM. OwneghProblem statement: In order to assess the applicability of Australian landslide databases as a hazard management support system, current hard and soft literature and data sources were screened. This assessment resulted in the selection of four main data bases including national landslide database (A), Peril Aus ІІ (B), the Cities project (C) and analytical study of Fell (D). Approach: In … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,352 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAspirin in Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events: Does Market Failure Matter?Roger Lee MendozaProblem statement: Against the backdrop of the 2009 scientific studies qualifying the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular benefits of aspirin, two interrelated questions are raised for investigation in this study. First, why may the government intervene in an otherwise private transaction between physician and patient and between drug manufacturer and buyer, when it involves contentious pharmacological information? Second, does government intervention make … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,430 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnamorphic Cartograms and Environmental Risk AnalysisChiara Porporato, Tamara Bellone, Francesco FiermonteBoth Geography and Statistics use graphical representations. Information Technology has enhanced the visualization of data, beyond the traditional aspects, to such an extent that we can nowadays speak of an "image society". Traditional thematic mapping also shows transformations of a variable over time, linking the geographical datum to the time variable. For some decades now a number of cartograms have … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 12 Dec 2016 · 7,052 accessesView PDF Cite
