The Domestic and International Impacts of the 2009-H1N1 Influenza A Pandemic - Global Challenges, Global Solutions: Workshop Summary - Bok av Institut

The Domestic and International Impacts of the 2009-H1N1 Influenza A Pandemic - Global Challenges, Global Solutions: Workshop Summary - Bok av Institut

In March and early April 2009, a new, swine-origin 2009-H1N1 influenza A virus emerged in Mexico and the United States. During the first few weeks of surveillance, the virus spread by human-to-human transmission worldwide to over 30 countries. On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised the worldwide pandemic alert level to Phase 6 in response to the ongoing global spread of the novel influenza A (H1N1) virus. By October 30, 2009, the H1N1 influenza A had spread to 191 countries..

A Research Review of Interventions to Increase the Persistence and Resilience of Coral Reefs - Bok av National Academies Of Sciences Engineeri - Häfta

A Research Review of Interventions to Increase the Persistence and Resilience of Coral Reefs - Bok av National Academies Of Sciences Engineeri - Häfta

\Coral reef declines have been recorded for all major tropical ocean basins since the 1980s, averaging approximately 30-50% reductions in reef cover globally. These losses are a result of numerous problems, including habitat destruction, pollution, overfishing, disease, and climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions and the associated increases in ocean temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have been implicated in increased reports of coral bleaching, disease outbreaks, and ocean acidification..

Measuring Housing Discrimination in a National Study - Report of a Workshop - Bok av Committee on National Statistics - Häftad

Measuring Housing Discrimination in a National Study - Report of a Workshop - Bok av Committee on National Statistics - Häftad

Federal law prohibits housing discrimination on the basis of seven protected classes including race. Despite 30 years of legal prohibition under the Fair Housing Act, however, there is evidence of continuing discrimination in American housing, as documented by several recent reports. In 1998, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded a $7.5 million independently conducted Housing Discrimination Survey (HDS) of racial and ethnic discrimination in housing rental, sales, and lending..

Alternatives for Managing the Nation's Complex Contaminated Groundwater Sites - Bok av National Research Council - Inbunden

Across the United States, thousands of hazardous waste sites are contaminated with chemicals that prevent the underlying groundwater from meeting drinking water standards. These include Superfund sites and other facilities that handle and dispose of hazardous waste, active and inactive dry cleaners, and leaking underground storage tanks; many are at federal facilities such as military installations. While many sites have been closed over the past 30 years through cleanup programs run by the U.S...

Nutrition During Pregnancy and Lactation: Exploring New Evidence: Proceedings of a Workshop - Bok av National Academies Of Sciences Engineeri - Häftad

\The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine last reviewed the state of the science on nutrition during pregnancy and lactation 30 years ago. The resulting consensus study reports from the Institute of Medicine--Nutrition During Pregnancy (IOM, 1990) and Nutrition During Lactation (IOM, 1991)--summarized the scientific evidence and provided nutrient recommendations. In the decades since the release of these two reports, the body of evidence on the relationships between nutrition..

Review of the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Plan - Bok av National Research Council - Häftad

The world's ocean has already experienced a 30% rise in acidity since the industrial revolution, with acidity expected to rise 100 to 150% over preindustrial levels by the end of this century. Potential consequences to marine life and also to economic activities that depend on a healthy marine ecosystem are difficult to assess and predict, but potentially devastating. To address this knowledge gap, Congress passed the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring (FOARAM) Act in 2009, which,..

Sex-Specific Reporting of Scientific Research - A Workshop Summary - Bok av Institute of Medicine - Häftad

\The number of women participating in clinical trials has increased during the last two decades, but women are still underrepresented in clinical trials in general. Some of the overall increase can be attributed to the greater number of women-only trials (of therapies for diseases that affect only women). Even when women are included in clinical trials, the results are often not analyzed separately by sex. On August 30, 2011, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Board on Population Health and Public..

Understanding Earth's Deep Past - Lessons for Our Climate Future - Bok av National Research Council - Häftad

Understanding Earth's Deep Past - Lessons for Our Climate Future - Bok av National Research Council - Häftad

There is little dispute within the scientific community that humans are changing Earth's climate on a decadal to century time-scale. By the end of this century, without a reduction in emissions, atmospheric CO2 is projected to increase to levels that Earth has not experienced for more than 30 million years. As greenhouse gas emissions propel Earth toward a warmer climate state, an improved understanding of climate dynamics in warm environments is needed to inform public policy decisions. In Understanding..
