Did adhering to the gold standard reduce the cost of capital? [PDF]
A commonly cited benefit of the pre-World War One gold standard is that it reduced the cost of international borrowing by signaling a country’s commitment to financial probity.

A testsuite for testing parser performance on complex German grammatical constructions [TePaCoC - a corpus for testing parser performance on complex German grammatical constructions] [PDF]
, 2008 Traditionally, parsers are evaluated against gold standard test data. This can cause problems if there is a mismatch between the data structures and representations used by the parser and the gold standard. A particular case in point is German, for which

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We introduce an immunohistochemistry method to measure autophagy flux, highlighting the active degradation and recycling of cellular waste. This cost‐effective approach uses tissue samples to track key markers like LC3 and SQSTM1, revealing how cells maintain health or respond to diseases such as cancer. It bridges the gap between research and clinical

The cost of not having a perfect reference in diagnostic accuracy studies: theoretical results and a web visualisation tool [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Dichotomous diagnostic tests are widely used to detect the presence or absence of a biomedical condition of interest. A rigorous evaluation of the accuracy of a diagnostic test is critical to determine its practical value. Performance measures, such as the sensitivity and specificity of the test, should be estimated by comparison with a gold standard ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic, multifaceted complex system of interdependent cellular, biochemical, and biophysical components. Three‐dimensional in vitro models of the tumor microenvironment enable a better understanding of these interactions and their impact on cancer progression and therapeutic resistance.

Metamorphic Testing for Quality Assurance of Protein Function Prediction Tools [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Proteins are the workhorses of life and gaining insight on their functions is of paramount importance for applications such as drug design. However, the experimental validation of functions of proteins is highly-resource consuming. Therefore, recently, automated protein function prediction (AFP) using machine learning has gained significant interest ...

Accuracy of the stair climbing test using maximal oxygen uptake as the gold standard.
Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2007 OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy of the variables related to the fixed-height stair climbing test (SCT) using maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) as the gold standard. METHODS The SCT was performed on a staircase consisting of 6 flights (72 steps; 12.16
