Demographic

In 1986, the National Geographic Society, in cooperation with the MoneU Center, conducted a worldwide survey of the sense of smell. Over 10 million survey forms were sent to readers of the Society s journal, of which close to 1.5 million forms were completed and returned. With responses to 40 demographic and 42 odor-related questions, the results constitute the largest set of data on human olfaction (4). 

As with generation rates, the chemical composition of MSW varies significantly with local socioeconomic and demographic conditions. The average chemical composition of MSW in the United States is given in Table 1 (16). 

The results processor computes the test results from the raw data furnished by the AP and coUates these results together with the demographic patient data into test reports. Test results falling outside normal limits are flagged on the report to speed up the diagnosis process. These data managers can also store thousands of patient reports in their current memory. Some of the more sophisticated systems also store the actual reaction curves used to determine the test results. 

Fig. 7. Estimate of the total number of patients receiving maintenance dialysis over the past 20 years. Totals include both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, but exclude transplant recipients. The fraction of patients receiving peritoneal dialysis has grown steadily from 0% in 1978 to about 12% in 1992. These data were combined from various regional registries and industry sources demographic estimates of this iLk are accurate to within 5% (46). D,...

If sufficient experience does not exist, you should consider whether the consequence potential (Step 4) or the expected frequency of accidents (Step 5) is great. Consideration of consequence potential should include personnel exposure, public demographics, equipment density, and so forth in relation to the intrinsic hazard posed by the material of concern. In Step 5 you may perceive that the expected frequency of accidents alone is important enough to justify a QRA. However, even though your company may not have much relevant experience with the activity of interest, if the consequence potential of these accidents is not great, you may conclude that the expected frequency of the potential accidents is low enough for you to make your decisions comfortably using qualitative information alone.

The Pickering risk is estimated to be 2E-4 Sv/y to an individual at the site boundary and about 4L-.i person-Sv/y to the surrounding population. Both of which are less than DPSE in spite of age of station, the higher demographics, and the inclusion of beyond design basis events. The mean site economic risk was estimated to be 1.5 M /reactor-y,... 

The affected areas were plotted on demographic maps to determine the number of people affected. 

Cohort A group of individuals that share a particular statistical or demographic characteristic, e.g., exposure. 

The cocktail nation is no longer a turn of phrase for a trend or phenomenon. It is a demographic, with a vote. Cocktails are now an established entertainment, like going to the movies. And new American grills, or lounges, like Tonic owe more to multiplexes than traditional bars. 

The current world population stands at 5.3 billion and is growing rapidly (1), Demographers project that the world population will reach 6.1 billion by the turn of the century, approach 8.2 billion by 2025, and probably reach 15 billion by 2100 (2), Never before in history have humans, by their sheer numbers, so dominated the earth and its resources. What is equally alarming is the 1.8% annual population growth rate --a rate 1800-times greater than that during the first million years of human existence. At this growth rate about one quarter million people are added to the world population every day. 

In addition to factors related to the treatment program, there are demographic and psychological correlates of retention. Clients who are employed, married, black, and older have longer retention times. Persons with criminal histories and higher levels of psychopathology tend to leave treatment sooner. Severity and duration of opioid use per se do not appear to correlate with retention.

A quite different approach to the study of plant responses to stress has been explored by those ecologists who have followed the example of Harper (1977) in applying to plants techniques originally deployed in investigations of animal populations. Here the methodology has been demographic and the resulting data have allowed responses to stress to be analysed in terms of fluctuations in the rates of mortality and recruitment of either plant populations or plant parts (e.g. leaves, inflorescences). 

There can be little doubt that certain stresses have characteristic demographic consequences both for populations and for plant parts and it is also evident that, according to taxonomic and evolutionary history, species and genotypes may differ in their responses to the same stress. Thus, demographic study is often a useful preliminary to analysis of the causation and evolutionary origins of particular stress responses. However, some demographers go further and advocate long-term field observation as the only reliable way forward ... 

This clearly overstates the potential of demographic study to provide a mechanistic understanding of plant responses to environments and, if implemented, would lead to unnecessary delay in the development of generalising principles. The remainder of this chapter is founded on the assumption that the most direct route to a coherent predictive theory of plant responses to stress is likely to involve a synthesis of insights derived from plant population biology, ecophysiology, and many other fields of botanical endeavour.

In the OPMBS, a statistical design for the selection of stores from which samples could be collected was developed. This design used key factors including the geographic location of the store, the size of the store, and the population density of the area in which the store was located. In addition, secondary stores were designated. Secondary stores were used when a commodity was not available at the primary store, or the primary store was not accessible. Primary and secondary stores were chosen so that the demographics of the selected stores reflected the overall population.
