Unicystic ameloblastoma of the mandible clinical case presentation and literature review
Ameloblastoma is a neoplastic lesion that in its early stages does not present signs or symptoms; ages more common in which occurs this lesion are between 20 to 30 years of age, it has no predilection by any gender; their formation can be derived ...

Anchor selection strategies for DIF analysis: Review, assessment, and new approaches [PDF]
Differential item functioning (DIF) indicates the violation of the invariance assumption for instance in models based on item response theory (IRT). For item-wise DIF analysis using IRT, a common metric for the item parameters of the groups that are to ...

DIF in the Spanish Version of the Verbal Selective Reminding Test Using Samples From Hispanics in the United States, Mexicans, and Spaniards [PDF]
Aim: Before a test can be used in the target population, it is necessary to demonstrate that there is measurement equivalence. One way to do this is by studying differential item functioning (DIF).

C-BORD project: “Effective container inspection at BORDer control points”
In the framework of the C-BORD project of the H2020 programme to provide a safety chain for container inspection at border control points, CEA-DAM is involved to develop an identification method of Special Nuclear Material. Using active interrogation the

The Use of Loglinear Models for Assessing Differential Item Functioning Across Manifest and Latent Examinee Groups [PDF]
Loglinear latent class models are used to detect differential item functioning (DIF). These models are formulated in such a manner that the attribute to be assessed may be continuous, as in a Rasch model, or categorical, as in Latent Class Mastery models.

Background: Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis has in the recent past been regrouped into immune complex-mediated (ICM MPGN) disease (driven by the classical complement pathway) and complement-mediated (C3GN) disease (driven by the alternative ...

Production yields of micro-second isomers populated in 252Cf(SF) [PDF]
A twin Frisch grid ionization chamber loaded with an ultra-thin 252 Cf sample is used in order to detect spontaneous fission events. The chamber is surrounded by 8 HPGe detectors allowing to perform γ-spectroscopic measurements.

Anchor methods for DIF detection: A comparison of the iterative forward, backward, constant and all-other anchor class [PDF]
In the analysis of differential item functioning (DIF) using item response theory (IRT), a common metric is necessary to compare item parameters between groups of test-takers.
