Mortality displacement denotes a forward temporal shift in the rate of mortality in a given population, usually attributable to environmental phenomena such as heat wave s or cold spell s. During heat waves, for instance, there is usually an excess mortality rate in the population, affecting especially older adults and those who are sick. For some heat waves, however, there has also been observed a decrease in overall mortality during the subsequent weeks after a heat wave. Such short term forward shift in mortality rate is also referred to as harvesting effect . The subsequent, compensatory reduction in mortality suggests that the heat wave had affected especially those whose health is already so compromised that they would have died in the short term anyway . ref http www.ehponline.org members 2001 109p463 470huynen huynen full.html The Impact of Heat Waves and Cold Spells on Mortality Rates in the Dutch Population Environmental Health Perspectives Volume 109, Number 5, May 2001 ref References references death Category Death Category Gerontology med stub ... more details

Mortality salience is a term which describes awareness of one s eventual death . Potential to cause worldview defense Mortality salience has the potential to cause worldview defense , a psychological mechanism which strengthens people s connection with their in group as a defense mechanism . This can lead to feelings of nationalism and racial bigotry being intensified. Studies also show that mortality salience can also lead people to feel more inclined to punish minor moral transgressions. One such study divided a group of judges into two groups one which was asked to reflect upon their own mortality, and one group which was not. The judges were then asked to set a bond for an alleged prostitute. The group who had reflected on mortality set an average bond of 455, while the control group s average bond was 50. ref name wakeof911 cite book last Pyszczynski first Thomas coauthors Jeff Greenberg, Sheldon Solomon title In the Wake of 9 11 publisher American Psychological Association date 003 isbn 1557989540, 9781557989543 url http books.google.com ?id IaCgHQAACAAJ&dq in the wake of 9 11 ref Another study found that mortality salience could cause an increase in support for martyrdom and military intervention.

Cleanup date February 2010 In actuarial science , force of mortality represents the instantaneous rate of mortality at a certain age measured on an annualized basis. It is identical in concept to failure rate , also called hazard function , in reliability theory . Motivation and definition In a life table , we consider the probability of a person dying from age x to x 1, called q sub x sub . In the continuous case, we could also consider the conditional probability of a person who has attained age x dying between ages x and x x , which is math P Delta x x P x X x Delta x mid X x frac F X x Delta x F X x 1 F X x math where F sub X sub x is the distribution function of the continuous age at death random variable , X. As x tends to zero, so does this probability in the continuous case. The approximate force of mortality is this probability divided by x . If we let x tend to zero, we get the function for force of mortality , denoted by math mu x math math mu , x frac F X x 1 F X x math Since f sub X sub x F sub X sub x is the probability density function of X , and S x 1 F sub X sub x is the survival function , the force of mortality can also be expressed variously as math mu , x frac f X x 1 F X x frac S x S x frac d dx ln S x . math To understand conceptually how the force of mortality operates within a population, consider that the ages, x , where the probability density function f sub X sub x is zero, there is no chance of dying. Thus the force of mortality at these ages is zero. The force of mortality math mu x math can be interpreted as the conditional density of failure at age x , while f x is the unconditional density of failure at age x . ref name MQR R. Cunningham, T. Herzog, R. London 2008 .

It forms, along with The Black Dwarf novel The Black Dwarf , the 1st series of Scott s Tales of My Landlord . The two novels were published together in 1816. Old Mortality is considered one of Scott s best novels. It was originally titled The Tale of Old Mortality , but is generally shortened in most references. Plot summary The novel tells the story of Henry Morton, who shelters John Balfour of Burley, one of the assassins of Archbishop James Sharp bishop James Sharp . As a consequence Morton joins Burley in an uprising of Covenanters who wanted the re establishment of presbyterianism in Scotland which was eventually defeated at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in 1679, by forces led by the Duke of Monmouth and John Graham of Claverhouse . The bulk of the novel describes the progress of the rebellion from its initial success at the Battle of Drumclog , and the growth of factionalism which hastened its defeat. Henry s involvement in the rebellion causes a conflict of loyalties for him, since he is in love with Edith Bellenden who belongs to a family who oppose the uprising. Henry s beliefs are not as extreme as those of Burley and many other rebel leaders, which leads to his involvement in the factional disputes.

Refimprove date March 2009 Mortality drag is a term used, in reference to Life annuity lifetime annuities , to describe a negative impact that is experienced when an annuity purchase is delayed on a fund from which regular withdrawals are being taken by an individual.

This payment may be based on interest rates or returns on investments, and will take into consideration costs and profits . It may be helpful to think of it as a loan in reverse, from the perspective of the individual purchasing the annuity. Those who live longer than the mean lifespan of an annuity population are effectively subsidised by those who die earlier and the insurance company usually assumes the risk of making this work based on actuary actuarial assumptions. This is known as a cross subsidy . An individual may therefore suffer a mortality loss or mortality gain based on when they actually die.

The London Bills of Mortality were the main source of mortality statistics, designed to monitor deaths from the bubonic plague plague from the 17th century 1830s. They were used mainly as a way of warning about plague epidemics. They began to be made in London after an outbreak of plague in 1592 although there are a few earlier instances . From 1603, after another outbreak , they were made regularly on a weekly basis, with the view to giving authorities and inhabitants full information as to the increases or decreases in the number of deaths. The information was collected by Parish Clerks and published every week. By 1570 the bills included baptism s in 1629 the cause of death was given, and in the early 18th century the age at death. In 1836 they were superseded by the Registrar General s returns under the Births and Deaths Registrations Act .
