Abstract:
What is the value of a statistical life (VSL)? How does one calculate such a value? Does everyone’s life have a different value? These questions are among the most provocative and delicate topics in economics. The VSL is defined as the "tradeoff between money and small risks of death." It is not to be confused with the amount of compensation one would receive for a wrongful death. It has important policy implications as economic estimates of the VSL amounts have included evidence from market decisions that reveal the implicit values reflected in behavior as well as the use of survey approaches

Abstract:
Atherosclerosis is the major cause of cardiovascular diseases, which constitute the top ten leading causes of death worldwide. Atherosclerotic plaque development initiates from the inflamed endothelium under an atherogenic environment – chronic low grade inflammation, hypercholesterolemia, endotoxemia, etc. The principal cause of such inflammation has yet to be defined – with growing evidence that microbial stimulants like lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and peptidoglycan (PGN), which can activate toll-like receptors (TLRs) and nuclear factor-kappaB (NFκB) signaling might be the plausible origins.

Abstract:
The value of statistical life is an estimate of the monetary benefits of preventing an anonymous death. Society's willingness to pay to eliminate private health risks determines agencies' value-of-statistical-life estimates. Most estimates ignore society's willingness to pay to eliminate others' health risks. There are two possible reasons. First, altruism does not exist: Peter is not willing to pay to save Paul's life. The second possible reason is a bit more complicated. Certain economists argue that increasing benefit estimates to account for altruism involves double-counting. The pur

Abstract:
Researchers at the University of Central Florida (UCF) have been working during the past few years on different strategies to improve freeway safety in real-time. An ongoing research at UCF has investigated crash patterns that occurred on a stretch of Interstate-4 located in Orlando, FL and created statistical models to predict in real-time the likelihood of a crash in terms of time and space. The models were then tested using PARAMICS micro-simulation and different strategies that would reduce the risk of crashes were suggested. One of the main recommended strategies was the use of Variable S

Abstract:
Construction is increasing due to increased demand and degradation of existing infrastructure. This construction often results in a reduced number of traffic lanes or lane width during construction, which often creates queue at the entrance to work zones. Variable Advisory Speed Systems (VASS) provide drivers with advanced warning regarding traffic speeds downstream to help them make better decisions in advance of problems that may exist downstream. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a VASS at mitigating queues in work zone entrances during peak hour conditions. It

Abstract:
Air pollution—both indoor and outdoor—results in more deaths and diseases in India than in any other country in the world. The first chapter in this dissertation explores why despite profoundly negative health consequences of indoor air pollution, most rural Indian households cook using traditional biomass fuel. Among many factors that contribute to households’ continued use of solid fuels, we focus on one: women’s intra-household status. We exploit Indian son preference: having a girl first child lowers women’s status relative to having a boy first child, and is therefore associated with lowe

Abstract:
This research evaluates Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) implementation strategies to improve the safety of a freeway once a potential of a crash is detected. Among these strategies are Variable Speed Limit (VSL) and ramp metering. VSL are ITS devices that are commonly used to calm traffic in an attempt to relieve congestion and enhance throughput. With proper use, VSL can be more cost effective than adding more lanes. In addition to maximizing the capacity of a roadway, a different aspect of VSL can be realized by the potential of improving traffic safety. Through the use of multiple m
