Identifying Changes in the Spatial Distribution of Crime: Evidence from a Referee Experiment in The National Football League

Between the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons, the National Football League (NFL) repositioned one of its o cials in order to prevent injuries amongst o cials. This creates a quasi-experiment for studying how a change in the extent of policing a ects detection of o ences. Using play by play data from the 2009-10 and 2010-11 NFL season, I estimate how the detection of o ensive holding changes when the...

Defining National Spatial Data Infrastructures as Complex Adaptive Systems

After two decades of intensive worldwide development of (National) Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) initiatives it is increasingly important to assess the outcomes in order to justify the resources spent on those programs. Many researchers throughout the world have been struggling with building NSDI assessment programs. However it is very difficult to assess NSDIs due to its complex, dynamic ...

Spatial Distribution of Premature Infant Mortality in 2000-2017

Background The provision, maintenance and promotion of the health of infants as a vulnerable group in health care services are a high priority, and the first step in reducing infant mortality and improving their health is undoubtedly the identification of their mortality status. We aimed to study the spatial distribution of premature infant mortality in 194 count...

Spatial Pattern of Macrobenthos Distribution in Chabahar Bay before Monson

Abstract In the present study, the structure of macrobenthos communities of Chabahar Bay prior to monsoon in 2016 was investigated.  We identified 87 species contain 22 amphipods species, 14 species of other crustaceans, 31 species of molluscs, and 20 polychaets species, where amphipods followed by polychates were dominant taxa. The PERMANOVA test revealed that there is a significant difference...
