DOI: 10.1007/s10940-021-09494-w
Abstract: Area-based prevention studies often produce results that can be represented in a 2-by-2 table of counts. For example, a table may show the crime counts during a 12-month period prior to the intervention compared to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2016.11.004
Abstract: The variability of force is indicative of the biological variability inherent in the human motor system. Previous literature showed inconsistent findings of the effect of age on the variability of force and hence a systematic… read more here.
