Confusion of recovery: one solution
Journal Article
Collier, E. Confusion of recovery: one solution. International Journal of Mental Health Nursing, 19(1), 16-21. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1447-0349.2009.00637.x

This paper questions the current mental health discourse that offers new definitions of the concept of ‘recovery’ and offers a different perspective that aims to clarify its meaning. Confusion is caused when medical language continues to be used in d... Read More about Confusion of recovery: one solution.

Close following behavior: Testing visual angle car following models using various sets of data
Journal Article
Yousif, S., & Al-Obaedi, J. Close following behavior: Testing visual angle car following models using various sets of data. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 14(2), 96-110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2010.11.001

Visual angle car following models have previously been proposed in modeling drivers’ “close following” behavior particularly in traffic simulation models. These models use relative speeds and relative spacings between successive vehicles, but they ar...
