Several studies have been carried out by optimising only the cost. They have not considered some other risk factors such as political and economic factors in their modelling. Currently, there is no generalised model available to determine the optimal sourcing locations incorporating important factors including risks in international LNG trading. In this study, 12 risk factors were taken into consideration to evaluate the risk.

The growth of waterborne pathogens and the discharge of partially treated or non-treated chemical waste has become a severe environmental and health risk. Conventional wastewater treatment methods have become less effective, and most current techniques require multiple stages for the disinfection of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) pathogens and the combined removal of toxic, non-biodegradable, or emerging priority pollutants from wastewater.

A major objective of the research presented here is to develop a link between the two approaches by establishing the relationship between the bridge component condition and the capacity and serviceability limits of the structure. A comprehensive review of literature identified methods of predictive modelling of bridge component condition change using different approaches. The review also indicated that a key to the proposed linkage is considering specific degradation mechanisms in predicting bridge deterioration.

When we do a benefit-cost analysis, we have to value a range of commodities which are either inputs to or outputs of the project. Some of these commodities are traded (i.e. can be bought or sold on international markets) and some are non-traded (are not bought or sold in international markets but are only traded domestically).

Antibiotic prophylaxis, if 100% effective, likely prevents only a small number of cases of endocarditis; nevertheless, it is possible that rare cases are prevented. Weighing the potential benefits, potential adverse events, and costs associated with antibiotic prophylaxis, the expert committee of the American Heart Association has dramatically restricted the recommendations for antibiotic prophylaxis. Prophylactic antibiotics (Table 118-7) are advised only for those patients at highest risk for severe morbidity or death from endocarditis (Table 1188).
