There have been many published studies aiming to identify temporal changes in river flow time series, most of which use monotonic trend tests such as the Mann–Kendall test. Although robust to both the distribution of the data and incomplete records, these tests have important limitations and provide no information as to whether a change in variability mirrors a change in magnitude. This study d...

It’s thought that encoding contracts and putting them “on the blockchain” will result in a new generation of organisations that are leaner and more efficient than their forebears (“Capps”?”), disrupting these forebears in the ...

The purpose of the study is to examine the muscular responses of healthy adult subjects to support surface rotations in pitch and roll planes. We used an enhanced experimental approach compared to the traditionally used methods in the previous studies by other researchers where the support surface beneath the subject’s feet randomly perturbed the equilibrium. Instead of a predetermined motion o...
