Paving the Road for Modern Particle Therapy – What can we Learn from the experience gained with Fast Neutron Therapy in Munich?

Frontiers in Oncology, 2015
While neutron therapy was a highly topical subject in the 70’s and 80’s, today there are only a few remaining facilities offering fast neutron therapy. Nevertheless, up to today more than 30,000 patients were treated with neutron therapy.

Evolutionary Dynamic Multiobjective Optimisation Assisted by Inverse Regression Tree Predictor

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dynamic multiobjective optimisation problems (DMOPs) are optimisation problems with multiple conflicting objectives that can change over time. Most dynamic multiobjective optimisation evolutionary algorithms (DMOEAs) attempt to estimate Pareto‐optimal sets (PS) directly in the decision space.

Recovery of male DNA acquired from carrion‐feeding insects in a simulated sexual assault scenario

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract When bodies of sexual assault victims are discovered in advanced stages of decomposition, the recovery of direct DNA evidence is often compromised, posing a challenge in criminal investigations. This study aimed to determine insect colonization and succession patterns on pig carcasses inoculated with semen and to assess the feasibility of ...

The complexity of neighborhood effects: A developmental and ecological framework for violent victimization

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Extensive research has established a link between low self‐control and child victimization. However, the specific neighborhood conditions under which low self‐control most strongly influences victimization have been little examined, and, more importantly, no previous studies have investigated the complex ways in which neighborhood context ...

Patient‐reported outcomes and visual function after four refractive strategies in cataract surgery: A randomized controlled trial

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) and visual function across four groups of public cataract patients: emmetropia, mini‐monovision, monovision with partial‐range of field (RoF) narrow intraocular lenses (IOLs) and patients implanted with partial‐RoF extended IOLs.

‘We're not going to start lifting stones now…’: Stakeholder perspectives on the role of psychometric methods in outcome measurement

British Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Psychological outcome measures guide research and clinical decision‐making, yet many widely used tools were developed with limited psychometric rigour. Although advanced methods (e.g., item response theory, structural equation modelling) are now widely available, their added value in applied research remains uncertain and applied ...

Using Projective IRT to Evaluate the Effects of Multidimensionality on Unidimensional IRT Model Parameters

Multivariate Behavioral Research
The application of unidimensional IRT models requires item response data to be unidimensional. Often, however, item response data contain a dominant dimension, as well as one or more nuisance dimensions caused by content clusters. Applying a unidimensional IRT model to multidimensional data causes violations of local independence, which can vitiate IRT

Revisiting educational assumptions: The surprising negative link between creative extracurricular activities and creative thinking in PISA 2022

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background While skill development is generally linked to relevant practice, the 2022 PISA creative thinking report revealed a negative association between students' creative thinking performance and their engagement in creative activities. Aims This study explored whether this negative association was linear, persisted across countries and ...
