Mooney, Patrick H.; Hunt, Scott A. – Rural Sociology, 2009

Food security is a potent consensus frame that has generated at least three distinct collective…

DeLucia, Patricia R.; Tharanathan, Anand – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2009

One such factor is a driver's ability to respond to the deceleration of the car ahead. In Experiment 1, we measured effects of optic flow information and discrete visual and auditory warnings (brake lights, tones) on…
