One stream, two channels? A parallel-process latent class growth model of homicide rates and suicide rates in 183 countries, between 2000 and 2019

open access: yesSSM: Population Health, 2023
Background: Suicide and homicide have long been viewed in Western culture as moral, ethical and legal equivalents. This view has underpinned many theoretical and empirical explorations into their relationship over the centuries.

Eulerian-Lagrangian method for simulation of cloud cavitation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method to simulate cloud cavitation in a compressible liquid. The method is designed to capture the strong, volumetric oscillations of each bubble and the bubble-scattered acoustics.

Cracking in asphalt materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This chapter provides a comprehensive review of both laboratory characterization and modelling of bulk material fracture in asphalt mixtures. For the purpose of organization, this chapter is divided into a section on laboratory tests and a section on ...

Synergistic inhibition of the Hedgehog pathway by newly designed Smo and Gli antagonists bearing the isoflavone scaffold [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Aberrant activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is responsible for the onset and progression of several malignancies. Small molecules able to block the pathway at the upstream receptor Smoothened (Smo) or the downstream effector Gli1 have thus emerged ...

Robust Growth Determinants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper investigates the robustness of determinants of economic growth in the presence of model uncertainty, parameter heterogeneity and outliers. The robust model averaging approach introduced in the paper uses a flexible and parsimonious mixture ...

Right-Sizing Growth Mixtures Models as Multi-Group Growth and Confirmatory Factor Models

open access: yesBehavior Research Methods, 2023
Multi-group growth curve models in which the factor structure varies across classes can be used as the basis for growth mixture models. This paper considers a variety of growth curve and related models based on those presented in Wood, Steinley & Jackson (2015).

Analysis of rolling group therapy data using conditionally autoregressive priors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Group therapy is a central treatment modality for behavioral health disorders such as alcohol and other drug use (AOD) and depression. Group therapy is often delivered under a rolling (or open) admissions policy, where new clients are continuously ...

Analysis of a mixture model of tumor growth [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2013
We study an initial-boundary value problem for a coupled Cahn–Hilliard–Hele–Shaw system that models tumour growth. For large initial data with finite energy, we prove global (local resp.) existence, uniqueness, higher order spatial regularity and the Gevrey spatial regularity of strong solutions to the initial-boundary value problem in two dimensions ...

Implementing Health‐Related Quality of Life Assessment in Pediatric Oncology: A Feasibility Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is growing interest in embedding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) within clinical cancer care. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of implementing an electronic PROM (ePROM) platform to measure HRQoL in children with cancer ...

Mind the gap: A review and recommendations for statistically evaluating Dual Systems models of adolescent risk behavior

open access: yesDevelopmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2019
According to Dual Systems models (Casey et al., 2008; Luna and Wright, 2016; Steinberg, 2008), a rapidly-developing socioemotional system and gradually-developing cognitive control system characterize adolescent brain development.
