International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 Much of science, including public health research, focuses on means (averages). The purpose of the present paper is to reinforce the idea that variability matters just as well. At the hand of four examples, we highlight four classes of situations where the conclusion drawn on the basis of the mean alone is qualitatively altered when variability is also

New Writing, 2021 This collaborative sequence of short prose or prose poems was written using the paintings of Jānis Avotiņš (as reproduced in a 2005 catalogue) as visual prompts. The writing process used interpretation, ekphrasis and disjunction to construct a non-linear narrative which attempts to create momentary experiences and reflective interiority through ...

Intraspecific variability modulates interspecific variability in animal organismal stoichiometry. [PDF]
, 2014 Interspecific differences in organismal stoichiometry (OS) have been documented in a wide range of animal taxa and are of significant interest for understanding evolutionary patterns in OS.

, 1999 The kinetic energy of bulk relativistic plasma ejected from the central engine of blazars is converted into nonthermal particle energy in the comoving frame through a process of sweeping up material from the surrounding medium. The resulting deceleration

, 2022 AbstractThis paper describes Mapping Variables, the principal technique for planning and constructing a test or rating instrument. A variable map is also useful for interpreting results. Modest reference is made to the history of mapping leading to its importance in psychometrics.

Radio pulsar variability [PDF]
, 2012 Pulsars are potentially the most remarkable physical laboratories we will ever use. Although in many senses they are extremely clean systems there are a large number of instabilities and variabilities seen in the emission and rotation of pulsars.

, 2006 Multichannel singular spectrum analysis (MSSA) of surface zonal wind, sea surface temperature (SST), 20° isotherm depth, and surface zonal current observations (between 1990 and 2004) identifies three coupled ocean–atmosphere modes of variability in the ...

Effects of Sex and Gender on Adaptation to Space: Musculoskeletal Health [PDF]
, 2014 There is considerable variability among individuals in musculoskeletal response to long-duration spaceflight. The specific origin of the individual variability is unknown but is almost certainly influenced by the details of other mission conditions such ...

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Protective vaccines for hypervariable pathogens are urgently needed. It has been proposed that amputating highly variable epitopes from vaccine antigens would induce the production of broadly protective antibodies targeting conserved epitopes. However, so far, these approaches have failed, partially because conserved epitopes are occluded in vivo and ...

BMC Geriatrics, 2021 Background Aging increases fall risk and alters gait mechanics and control. Our previous work has identified sideways walking as a potential training regimen to decrease fall risk by improving frontal plane control in older adults’ gait.
