Testes Mass, but Not Sperm Length, Increases with Higher Levels of Polyandry in an Ancient Sex Model by David E. Vrech (552632)

table 1_Census-Block-Level Property Risk Estimation Due to Extreme Cold Temperature, Hail, Lightning, and Tornadoes in Louisiana, United States.docx by Rubayet Bin Mostafiz (9615689)

“…Our approach improves previous hazard risk assessments by 1) weighting risk by 2010 and 2050-projected population; 2) adjusting future hazard intensity based on recent climate model projections; and 3) producing results at the “microscale” census block, rather than previous county-wide or larger assessments. On a statewide basis, extreme cold temperature and tornado hazards incur by far the most risk of the four hazards. …”
