A Statistical Framework for Measuring the Temporal Stability of Human Mobility Patterns
… out a theoretical framework for assessing the temporal stability of human mobility based on GPS location data. We define several measures of the temporal dynamics of human spatiotemporal trajectories based on the average velocity process, and on activity distributions in a spatial observation …

Temporal stability of rating behaviors: effects of differences in rater and ratee samples
… the same sample of raters when evaluating the stability of their scale reliabilities. Kane and Bernardin hypothesized that rater-specific illusory halo contributed to producing the stably high reliabilities that Latham et al. reported. This study was a test of that hypothesis. Additionally, the …

Temporal stability of the electronic version of the Motor-Free Visual Perception Test third edition (MVPT-3)
… correlational design was used to assess temporal stability. The main research questions reviewed if multiple administrations of the Electronic Version of the MVPT-3 yields consistent outcome scores and if the electronic version of the MVPT-3 is reliable for professionals to use …

Spatial and temporal genetic variation in small and declining populations of Atlantic salmon
… size, habitat quality, population structure and stability over time using Atlantic salmon parr in the River Frome (a chalk stream in Dorset, England) surveyed at 15 sites, in summer and autumn over three consecutive years. The hypotheses were:* Abundance of juvenile Atlantic salmon in a chalk …

"An Investigation of Decomposed and Holistic Judgments in Multiattribute Decision Making: Generalizing the ""Divide and Conquer"" Principle"
… between decomposed and holistic strategies), the temporal stability and the external validity (the agreement between a decision strategy and an objective criterion) for decomposed and holistic judgments from two popular multi-criteria decision making techniques, Saaty's (1977, 1980) Analytic …

High-resolution soil moisture mapping by a proximal ground penetrating radar: A numerical, laboratory and field evaluation
… moisture dynamics in the biosphere at various temporal and spatial scales. Despite the huge development of remote sensing of soil moisture techniques, there is still a lack of soil moisture measurement techniques available at high spatial resolution (~ m). This thesis aimed to validate and …

Stability of a Normal Heterosexual Female Response to Affinity 2.0
… purpose of the current study was to evaluate the temporal stability of a normal heterosexual female response to the Affinity 2.0, a newly standardized viewing time (VT) instrument that purports to measure sexual interest. Participants were 120 female undergraduate and graduate students from a …

The Use of Viewing Time of Non-erotic Visual Stimuli to Differentiate Between Frequent Pornography Users and Infrequent Users
… significant differences were detected. The temporal stability of the measure was also investigated. Researchers found that for the two groups, high correlations were found with juvenile females and adult females, somewhat strong correlations for small male child and pre-juvenile female, and …

Orthographic Representations and Working Memory Properties in the Spelling Process: A Neuropsychological Analysis
… properties of orthographic working memory: temporal stability for GSI and representational distinctiveness for CRI. Their performance on spelling task demonstrate two things: first, GBD is not a homogeneous deficit because different sub-processes, involved in graphemic buffering, can be …

Deep learning convolutional neural networks for Landsat-derived land cover mapping
… geomedian imagery and tested for its spatial and temporal stability. A third experiment compared the capacity of CNNs and RFs to map natural vegetation and major forest types in the study area. Key findings include the ability of CNNs to detect land cover in the absence of accurate label data …

Examining the Role of Cognition in the Risk of Lower Extremity Musculoskeletal Injuries and Concussions Among Elite Athletes
… test-retest reliability (9-21-month period) and temporal stability of the VTS. Across cognitive tests, reliability ranged from poor to good (0.34-0.83). Cognition significantly changed across time points, most notably in cognitive flexibility. Study 2 (N = 145) explored cognition and concussion …

Emotional benefits and barriers of professional psychological services scale: initial construction and validation among African American women
… test-retest reliability coefficients support the temporal stability. Construct validity was supported given that EBBPPS factors were correlated with theoretically related constructs, like psychological help-seeking attitudes and cultural identity, as well as uncorrelated with theoretically …

Compressible flows of dense gases in boundary layers
… parameter throughout the boundary layer. The stability equations for two-dimensional inviscid disturbances in a general fluid are derived. The temporal stability of the mean flows of nitrogen is subsequently examined using the generalized inflection-point criterion extracted from these …

Non-Pedophilic Heterosexual Male Response to Affinity 2.0
… it was unknown whether or not the instrument is temporally stable and would provide a characteristic response curve for normal heterosexual male sexual interest. This study examined the Affinity 2.0, a newly standardized viewing time (VT) instrument that purports to measure sexual interest. More …

Development and preliminary validation of measures to assess mother's self-regulatory efficacy and outcome expectations to transport preschool aged children to structured physical activities
… to further examine internal consistency and temporal stability. Findings revealed some evidence for the content and construct validity, internal consistency, and temporal stability of the measures. To continue the construct validation of the measures, it was important to continue to examine …
