Over 1 million DVCs occur in the US annually and result in the loss of human life, human injury, and considerable financial costs resulting from the vehicle…

SWIS data As I start to review the SWIS data my hope would be that the number of aggressive referrals would start to go down. I would like to see a downward trend in the number of aggressive referrals during recess time. I would build a spread sheet that would show the number of referrals before the structured recess was implemented, then the number of referrals half way through the implementation period, and then the final numbers at the conclusion of the research project.

Unplanned events are normative components of the human experience. One can compare life to a heartbeat. On an electrocardiogram test a…

Simmons and Sutter examined the impact of the installation of Doppler radar on the quality of tornado warnings and occurrence of tornado casualties.
