How Adaptive Is an Adaptive Test: Are All Adaptive Tests Adaptive?
Journal of Computerized Adaptive Testing, 2019 The primary distinguishing feature of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is that sets of items that are administered to examinees are specifically selected for each examinee during the test process. This implies that examinees who respond differently to items on a test will get different sets of test items.

Unpacking adaptation lock-ins: Explaining the persistence of the adaptation gap [PDF]
Climate change adaptation is increasingly outpaced by accelerating climate risks, resulting in a persistent and widening adaptation gap. Many current interventions remain incremental and insufficient, failing to address the scale of transformation ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
