Synthetic Anchoring Under the Specific Source Problem

Statistical Analysis and Data Mining: An ASA Data Science Journal, Volume 19, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Source identification is an inferential problem that evaluates the likelihood of opposing propositions regarding the origin of items. The specific source problem refers to a situation where the researcher aims to assess if a particular source originated the items or if they originated from an alternative, unknown source. Score‐based likelihood

Ballistics and wound ballistics of CO2‐powered dart guns in relation to ungulate dart injury and animal welfare

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Large mammals are darted with dart guns to inject drugs or to collect biopsy tissue for capture, research, or veterinary purposes, especially for procedures involving wild and zoo animals. Darting is invasive and associated with risks of trauma, and severe and fatal dart injuries have been reported.

The relative and joint effects of gunshot detection technology and video surveillance cameras on case clearance in Chicago

Criminology &Public Policy, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 623-654, November 2025.
Abstract Research Summary Closed‐circuit television (CCTV) video surveillance cameras and gunshot detection technology (GDT) have been widely adopted by police departments in recent years. Most evaluation research on CCTV and GDT has tested the technologies’ effect on crime prevention rather than case clearance rates.

Detecting Feigned Pain Using an Eye‐Tracker Integrated Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

Pain Practice, Volume 25, Issue 7, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is routinely used to assess pain severity. A recently developed NPRS integrated the pain scale with an eye tracker (NPRSETI). As part of this study, we explored the NPRSETI's utility to detect feigned pain, an ongoing challenge facing clinicians. To achieve this aim, chronic pain outpatients were randomly
