	Earthquake Forecast - VAN Method
		By this method as described later, anomalous electric signal could actually be detected prior to the earthquakes which occurred near Tsukuba, north of Tokyo.
		It should be noted that SES detected by the VAN method have always appeared during the preseismic period.
		It is evident that the VAN method opens the door for the short-term earthquake prediction, although there is still a dispute on the statistical assessment on VAN'S prediction.

	Earthquake Forecast - VAN Method
		The method is based on detection of characteristic changes in the geoelectric potential, the so-called Seismic Electric Signals (SES) that appear prior to earthquakes.
		The VAN method is unique in that it has been successfully predicting earthquakes for more than a, decade.
		The VAN group now claims that earthquakes in Greece with Ms(ATH) (magnitude announced by the Seismological Institute of the National Observatory of Athens, SI-NOA) greater than 5 can be predicted within the error of 100 km in epicentral location and 0.7 unit in magnitude.

		VAN Method Lacks Validity Varotsos and colleagues (the VAN group) claim to have successfully predicted many earthquakes in Greece.
		The VAN group has published some "sensitivity maps." However, the sensitivity maps have evolved with time, there is no comprehensive collection, and they have not been used in any attempted significance tests by friends or foes of the VAN hypothesis.
		A second method states predictions in terms of a probability density function, which need not be discontinuous at the edge of a window in time, space, or magnitude.

	Re: st: bivariate random effects meta-analysis of diagnostic test
		Second, the method that van Houwelingen and his colleagues use in the second article is, as Ben and Gerben describe, a logit transformation followed by linear mixed-effects regression (using PROC MIXED) with the residual variance fixed at the Woolf-formula value of the log odds.
		Realize, however, that this method is not the same as that in their first article, which was by maximizing the full likelihood.
		Last, one of the motivations of the bivariate random effects meta-analysis for van Houwelingen and his colleagues was to allow the log odds of the control treatment group and of the experimental treatment group to be individually estimated.

		The VAN method is an experimental earthquake prediction method.
		Catastrophe modeling (also known as cat modeling) is the process of using computer-assisted calculations to estimate the losses that could be sustained by a portfolio of properties due to a catastrophic event such as a hurricane or earthquake.

	AGU Web Site:EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION METHOD TOPIC OF SPECIAL ISSUE OF GRL: Press Release
		Recent claims by Panayotis Varotsos of the University of Athens that he and two colleagues, Kessar Alexopoulos and Kostas Nomicos, have developed a reliable system of earthquake prediction, known as the VAN method (after the initials of their last names), have fueled an intense scientific controversy.
		Claiming that their research has shown that materials under stress emit characteristic electrical signals, the developers of VAN say that it is possible to predict earthquakes by measuring anomalous electrical activity in the ground.
		Articles for the special GRL issue that are critical of the VAN method have been contributed by scientists from the U.S., Europe, New Zealand, and Japan.

		According to Van Tilburg, their physical position between earth and sky puts them on both secular and sacred ground; secular in their representation of chief and their ability to physically prop up the sky, and sacred in their proximity to the heavenly gods.
		Van Tilburg's painstaking effort to inventory and carefully measure the nearly 900 moai statues on Easter Island has enabled her to construct a digital version of an average moai.
		This digital statue has informed her hypothesis for a potential transport method for moving the moai; the statue which Van Tilburg's team will attempt to move and erect for the NOVA program has been made to the exact dimensions of this digital moai.

		By this method as described later, anomalous electric signal could actually be detected prior to the earthquakes which occurred near Tsukuba, north of Tokyo.
		Although there is a dispute as to whether SES detected by the VAN method is real or not, the author believes from these laboratory experiments that detection of SES is promising way of detecting the precursor stage to faulting.
		It is evident that the VAN method opens the door for the short-term earthquake prediction, although there is still a dispute on the statistical assessment on VAN'S prediction.

		Jennifer Van Hook, sociology, has been awarded $166,000 by the census bureau for her work with Jeffrey Passel of the Pew Hispanic Center and Dr. Frank Bean from the University of California-Irvine.
		Arriving at those figures entails some assumptions, but Van Hook hopes to make them firmer using a method that provides a yearly look at immigration rather than a net picture estimated over the 10 years between censuses.
		Described in the May issue of the journal Demography, her method for figuring emigration by that part of the population involves the use of the Current Population Survey (CPS), which is conducted by the census bureau for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

		The VAN method is a method to predict earthquakes.
		The method tries to assess electromagnetic emissions that, according to the VAN team, occur several hours before the earthquake and can be interpreted as warnings for a forthcoming catastrophe.
		The efficiency of VAN in earthquake prediction is a matter of debate, as there are prominent seismologists who dispute this.

	van vogt method - article on zone-sf.com
		Van Vogt's first plotting technique was the 'fictional sentence.' For the first story he sold, a true confessional, he made every sentence ring with an emotion.
		More probable is that van Vogt's hang-up technique hung his critics up but not his fans in much the same way that John Ashbery puzzled over how the average reader accepted his poetry when educated readers could not.
		The latter view is not unlikely since van Vogt also used the sound of language to conjure mood subconsciously.

	Statistical Bulletin: Trn/2001/1 - Household Transport: some Scottish Household Survey results: page 8
		Again, a car or van was used by the majority in every social class apart from the "unskilled occupations" group.
		A related pattern is seen when the figures are analysed by the annual net income (of the household rather than the person): the proportion who walked to work was highest (around a quarter) for those from households with an annual net income of up to £10,000, and tended to fall as income rose.
		The main reasons given by those who commuted by bus were that it was the most convenient method (63%), it was the only method available (20%), it was too far to walk (19%), they had no car or other transport (19%) and that it was the quickest method (18%).

	Van Morrison - Magic Time Review - Rocknworld.com
		After forty plus years in music, Van is still regarded by rock aficionados as the penultimate rock singer.
		Van Morrison's voice did all of that and more, and unlike more recent pretenders to the throne of vocal ecstasy, he stayed rooted in the blues, soul, jazz, and American roots music on which he cut his teeth.
		Less of the harder jazz and R&B makes it through to these performances, but they remain distinct from his early work with their extra dose of sentimentality and, although he explicitly denies it in the title track, "nostalgia" as well.

		If you had an irregular cycle, something like a standard days method, which would say to not have intercourse on day eight to nineteen of the menstrual cycle might not be the best type of approach because you might sometimes have abnormally long cycles or long follicular phases where ovulation occurred outside of that window.
