Misapplications Reviews: Speed Kills?
Interfaces, 1986If there is anything more irritating than an analysis that belabors the obvious, it is one that denies the obvious. After the national speed limit was cut to 55 miles per hour in the early 1970s, the vehicular fatality rate dropped substantially in the US.

Advances in Therapy, 2007
It is important to rapidly eradicate bacteria in patients with bacterial conjunctivitis in order to decrease disease transmission, shorten symptom duration, and minimize the emergence of resistant bacteria. This paper presents the results of kinetics of kill studies on 3 commonly isolated pathogens in bacterial conjunctivitis.

Why Speed Doesn’t Kill: Learning to Believe in Disinflation
De Economist, 2010Central bankers generally prefer to reduce inflation gradually. We show that a central bank may try to convince the private sector of its commitment to price stability by choosing to reduce inflation quickly. We call this “teaching by doing”. We find that allowing for teaching by doing effects always speeds up the disinflation and leads to lower ...

Speed Kills? Not Always: The New York State Thruway Experience
Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection & Critical Care, 2010The New York State (NYS) speed limit increased from 55 mph to 65 mph in August 1995. This study examines the change in motor vehicle fatality rates on the NYS thruway and NYS Interstates before and after the speed limit change. We also compare the fatality rates pre- and postincreased speed limit between the NYS thruway and other major NYS roadways ...

Airway narrowing in asthma: does speed kill?
American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2002there is widespread agreement that shortening of airway smooth muscle is the proximal cause of excessive airway narrowing during an asthma attack, with swelling of airway wall compartments and plugging by airway liquid or mucous being important amplifying factors ([15][1], [18][2], [29][3]).

SPEED KILLS: A LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC FATALITIES AND THE 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT*
Review of Policy Research, 1981An interrupted time‐series design is used to analyze the impact of the 55 mph speed limit on U.S. traffic fatalities over the period 1950 to 1980. In addition to speed such potential effects on highway fatalities as safety improvements, decreased speed dispersion, and decreased travel are examined.We conclude that the overwhelming proportion of the ...

Speed kills, speed thrills: constraining and enabling accelerations in academic work-life
Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2014Intensification, speed of change and faster pace of life have recently emerged as significant issues in studies analysing the current academic climate. This article takes up the ‘social acceleration thesis’ as a conceptual resource for capturing the relationship between the individual experience of time and the changing structure and operations of ...
