Titre : Foundations of risk analysis: a knowledge and decision-oriented perspective Type de document : livre Auteurs : Aven, T. Editeur : Chichester, U.K. : Wiley Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 190 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-471-49548-2 Note générale : Inventaire 2007: Pointé en rayon Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Decision support systems Knowledge based systems Risk analysis Risk assessment Statistical methods Résumé : Everyday we face decisions that carry an element of risk and uncertainty. The ability to analyse, communicate and control the level of risk entailed by these decisions remains one of the most pressing challenges to the analyst, scientist and manager. This book presents the foundational issues in risk analysis - expressing risk, understanding what risk means, building risk models, addressing uncertainty, and applying probability models to real problems. The principal aim of the book is to give the reader the knowledge and basic thinking they require to approach risk and uncertainty to support decision making. * Presents a statistical framework for dealing with risk and uncertainty. * Includes detailed coverage of building and applying risk models and methods. * Offers new perspectives on risk, risk assessment and the use of parametric probability models. * Highlights a number of applications from business and industry. * Adopts a conceptual approach based on elementary probability calculus and statistical theory. Foundations of Risk Analysis provides a framework for understanding, conducting and using risk analysis suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduates, analysts and researchers from statistics, engineering, finance, medicine and the physical sciences, as well as for managers facing decision making problems involving risk and uncertainty.

Titre : Dangerous liaisons? When cultivated plants mate with their wild relatives Type de document : livre Auteurs : Ellstrand, N.C. Editeur : Baltimore, Maryland : Johns Hopkins University Press Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 244 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8018-7405-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Plant diversity conservation Pollination Risk assessment Transgenic plants Résumé : With the advent of genetic engineering, "designer" crops might interbreed with natural populations. Could such romances lead to the evolution of "superweeds", as some have suggested? But haven't crops had sex with wild plants in the past? Has such gene swapping occurred without consequences? And if consequences have indeed occurred, what lessons can be gleaned for engineered crops? In Dangerous Liaisons? Norman Ellstrand examines these and other questions. He begins with basic information about the natural hybridization process. He then describes what we now know about hybridization between the world's most important crops -- such as wheat, rice, maize, and soybeans -- and their wild relatives. Such hybridization, Ellstrand explains, is not rare, and has occasionally had a substantial impact. In some cases, the result was problematic weeds. In others, crop genes have diluted natural diversity to the point that wild populations of certain rare species were absorbed into the gene pool of the more common crop, essentially bringing the wild species to the brink of extinction. Ellstrand concludes with a look to the future. Will engineered crops pose a greater threat than traditional crops? If so, can gene flow and hybridization be managed to control the escape of engineered genes? This book will appeal to academics, policy makers, students, and all with an interest in environmental issues. En ligne : http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy042/2002156768.html Dangerous liaisons?
