Concussion Reporting Rates at the Conclusion of a Collegiate Athletic Career
… diagnosis of a concussion often lies in self-reporting symptoms, however, an estimated 50-80% of concussions remain unreported. More than half of college athletes indicate they have no head injury knowledge including potential consequences, however, more than 80% would have reported a head …

Analysis of distribution maps from bird atlas data: dissimilarities between species, continuity within ranges and smoothing of distribution maps
… total areas and species with different mean reporting rates. In each grid cell the reliability of the reporting rates depends on the number of checklists collected for the grid cell. Weights are used to solve this problem. To solve the problem of different levels of abundance and …

An examination of adverse drug reaction reporting to the yellow card scheme
… in 209 hospitals were surveyed about ADR reporting schemes, the priority given to ADR reporting, and attitudes towards ADR reporting. ADR reporting had a low managerial priority. Local reporting schemes were found to be operating in 37% trusts, but there were few plans to start new …

Reasons for concussion under-reporting in varsity athletes: a mixed methods approach
… time away from class and sport, and low reporting rates among athletes contribute to poor recovery rates and potential long-term consequences. The purpose of this study was to utilize a mixed-methods approach to examine concussion education, attitudes, and reporting intention and …

Investigating the decline of the Martial Eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus) in South Africa
… decline across South Africa in Martial Eagle reporting rates of 59% over the last 20 years. Alarmingly, these declines also occurred in protected areas, including the traditional strongholds of the Kruger National Park (54% decline) and the Kalahari National Park (44% decline). Independent …

The smooth is better than the rough : an exploitation of reporting rate information in Southern Africa bird atlas data
… Atlas Project (Parker 1999) generated data on reporting rates for birds that takes into account the likelihood of species detection in a given area. Our main objective in this thesis is to explore methods for analysing and summarising reporting rate data. The observed reporting rate data are …

Application of Wavelet Analysis and Cross-Correlation Techniques to Wide Area Monitoring of Power Systems
… number of measurement points and high data reporting rates make real-time human interpretation of large data sets problematic. Thus, this work presents a method for the real-time automated analysis and visualization of time-synchronized phasor measurements for online event detection, …

Pharmacist input into patients' self-reporting of adverse drug reactions.
… for newly marketed drugs. There is under-reporting of ADRs by doctors. Involving the patient in self-reporting, particularly when initiated by pharmacists is feasible and could help to improve reporting rates. This study investigated a comprehensive checklist questionnaire listed symptoms …

Examining the Implications of a 7th Grade Pertussis Booster Program in the State of Ohio
… could be attributed to better recognition, reporting, and waning vaccine immunity. As a result, Ohio has implemented a vaccine booster program for 7th graders to try to curb the incidence. We use a model from Hethcote [2] to model the behavior of pertussis in Ohio, based on parameters from …

The Impacts of Corvids on Biodiversity
… 2007-2012), I examined changes in pied crow reporting rates (a proxy for relative abundance), describing both the overall change between these time periods, and exploring whether these changes were associated with biomes, transmission lines, climate variables, or land cover. A significant …

Birds and people: studies based on citizen science and census data of Greater Gauteng, South Africa
… sixth chapter examines the relationship between reporting rates of birds and human population in Greater Gauteng. With Greater Gauteng being the most populated region in South Africa, it presented an ideal situation to investigate patterns of correlation between human population and the reporting …

Investigating the effects of environmental variables on martial eagle breeding performance in the Kruger National Park
Within South Africa martial eagles reporting rates have decreased by almost 60% over the last two decades. Similar declines have also been reported within Kruger National Park (KNP), which is regarded as a stronghold for this species. Declines within KNP have been attributed to the low productivity …

Martial eagles and the national power grid in South Africa: the implications of pylon-nesting for conservation management
… nest sites. To do this, I related Martial Eagle reporting rates generated by citizen - science bird atlas data to the density of transmission lines and biome types across South Africa. While these analyses yielded some suggestive results, such as significant positive and negative relationships …

Understanding the decline of Martial Eagles Polemaetus bellicosus in the Kruger National Park, South Africa
… declining across its African range. Changes in reporting rates from bird atlas surveys suggest declines of up to 60 % over the last 20 years (1987-1982 vs. 2007-2013) across South Africa. Worryingly, large protected areas were not immune to these declines. For instance reporting rates in Kruger …

Survival and Home Range Characteristics of Merriam's Turkey Gobblers in the Southern Black Hills, South Dakota
… loss may have been higher and predation rates lower due to the difficulty of determining mortalities in an adequate time frame. Research demonstrates poor leg band reporting rates (16.9%) and managers should use radio-telemetry or reward bands to obtain sufficient harvest data. Home range …
