Determining the utility of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for disaster victim identification (DVI)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was evaluated as a method for electronically tracking human remains and associated identifying information during mass fatality incidents. Conventional tags are prone to physical damage and failure, which can compromise identification processes and hinder the repatriation of bodies.

It Takes Two to Tango: A Pluralist Account for Building Comprehensive Explanations in Human Evolution

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evolutionary study of human dispersal is a key topic in biological anthropology. However, recent research has revealed inconsistencies between molecular and anatomical data across different timescales and geographic regions. Despite increased interdisciplinary dialogue, these discordances are rarely analyzed in depth or interpreted for ...

IRT‐based response style models and related methodology: Review and commentary

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide a review and commentary on recent methodological research related to item response theory (IRT) modelling of response styles in psychological measurement. Our review describes the different categories of IRT models that have been proposed, their associated assumptions and extensions, and the varying purposes they can serve.

Multidimensional unipolar IRT and applications to the measurement of print exposure

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Item response theory (IRT) has been a prominent modelling framework in educational and psychological measurement. Traditional IRT models are bipolar, commonly assuming symmetric measurement link functions and symmetric trait distributions over a latent continuum unbounded at both ends. However, many measured constructs, such as print exposure,

On the asymmetry, complexity and predicted data patterns of nontraditional item response theory models

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Traditional item response theory (IRT) models involve symmetric response probability functions, but a developing area of research has focused on asymmetric alternatives. To date, these studies have focused primarily on introducing new asymmetric models, detailing their mathematical formulations, explaining how to interpret their item ...

α‐Synuclein strain homogeneity in multiple system atrophy subtypes

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Two different subtypes of multiple system atrophy are recognized: MSA‐C and MSA‐P. In this manuscript, Lau et al. investigate whether MSA‐C and MSA‐P are caused by different strains of α‐synuclein aggregates. By performing conformational fingerprinting experiments as well as in vitro and in vivo seeding assays, their findings suggest that both MSA‐C ...
