Using Differential Item Functioning to evaluate potential bias in a high stakes postgraduate knowledge based assessment [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Fairness is a critical component of defensible assessment. Candidates should perform according to ability without influence from background characteristics such as ethnicity or sex. However, performance differs by candidate background in many

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Quantum and Boltzmann transport in the quasi-one-dimensional wire with rough edges

, 2011
We study quantum transport in Q1D wires made of a 2D conductor of width W and length L>>W. Our aim is to compare an impurity-free wire with rough edges with a smooth wire with impurity disorder. We calculate the electron transmission through the wires by

Buccal Mucosa as Substrate for Direct Immunofluorescence Should Be Included Early in the Diagnostic Work Up of Ocular Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) direct immunofluorescence (DIF) represents the gold standard for definitive diagnosis. However, up to 50% of ocular MMP cases do not meet the immunopathological criteria. In addition, the risk of exacerbating conjunctival cicatrization makes ocular biopsy technically difficult to obtain ...

Detailed Opacity Calculations for Astrophysical Applications

Atoms, 2017
Nowadays, several opacity codes are able to provide data for stellar structure models, but the computed opacities may show significant differences. In this work, we present state-of-the-art precise spectral opacity calculations, illustrated by stellar ...

Diagnostic accuracy of (1→3)-β-D-glucan to predict Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in non-HIV-infected patients

Radiology and Oncology, 2020
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is a common and potentially fatal opportunistic infection in immunocompromised non-HIV individuals. There are problems with clinical and diagnostic protocols for PCP that lack sensitivity and specificity.

Nonlocal Hardy type inequalities with optimal constants and remainder terms

, 2012
Using a groundstate transformation, we give a new proof of the optimal Stein-Weiss inequality of Herbst [\int_{\R^N} \int_{\R^N} \frac{\varphi (x)}{\abs{x}^\frac{\alpha}{2}} I_\alpha (x - y) \frac{\varphi (y)}{\abs{y}^\frac{\alpha}{2}}\dif x \dif y \le ...
