The Flynn Effect for gains in literacy found in Estonia is not a Jensen Effect

Personality and Individual Differences, 2003
In 1990–1991 the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement studied reading skills in 9- and 14-year-old students around the world. In 1994, using the same methodology, similar data were gathered in Estonia on 2901 9- and 14-year-olds.

The “Jensen Effect” and the “Spearman-Jensen hypothesis” of Black-White IQ differences

Intelligence, 1998
Arthur Jensen's research on the biological basis of mental ability has culminated in his encyclopedic new work The g Factor (1998) which massively confirms “Spearman's (1927) hypothesis” that Black-White IQ differences vary systematically as a function of each test's g loading. More generally.

Serum and whole blood of rats resistant or sensitive to Jensen tumor effect on the acceptance (taking) and growth of Jensen tumor grafts

Zeitschrift f�r Krebsforschung und Klinische Onkologie, 1976
The results obtained by concomitent inoculation of four kinds of homologous sera or blood into Wistar and Long Evans rat grafted with Jensen tumors are analysed as regards taking and growth of the grafts. The four kinds are: 1. serum from rats naturally resistant to Jensen graft (R1); 2.

Immigrant–majority group differences in cognitive performance: Jensen effects, cultural effects, or both?

Intelligence, 2003
When a positive correlation occurs between g-loadedness of a cognitive test and variable X, the result is termed a "Jensen effect." Virtually all Dutch studies comparing immigrants with Dutch show that the differences in mean scores on intelligence tests are dependent on the g loading of the tests and are therefore clear Jensen effects.

Jensen's use of the Hick paradigm: Visual attention and order effects

Intelligence, 1988
Abstract Longstreth (1984, 1986) and Carroll (1987) have recently raised questions concerning the effects of practice and order and retinal displacement in Jensen's use of the Hick paradigm. The results of this study indicate that the effect of practice and order is nonsignificant.

The effect of Jensen number variations on the wind loads on a low-rise building

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1990
Abstract Pneumatically averaged panel pressures and structural load effects were determined for the end bay of an industrial building with a height to width ratio of 0.4, and 5° pitch gable roof. Two different models, varying in physical size by a factor of two, were placed in two different simulated atmospheric boundary layers.

Group Differences in Cognitive Ability: Evidence of a Jensen Effect

Mankind Quarterly, 2017
Historically, tests of intelligence and cognitive ability have revealed significant differences between races, with Blacks performing significantly below all other groups. The provenance of these differences has sparked considerable debate among psychologists, educators, sociologists, and policymakers.

PHM experimental design for effective state separation using Jensen–Shannon divergence

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2019
Abstract The most critical aspect in system condition diagnosis is to be aware of the signal change as the system degrades and to classify the signal into a proper state. Most condition diagnosis studies to date have focused on accurate classification of the tangled data set; these studies have paid less attention to experimental design, which could ...

Jensen’s inequality as a tool for explaining the effect of oscillations on the average cytosolic calcium concentration

Theory in Biosciences, 2010
It has often been asked which physiological advantages calcium (Ca(2+)) oscillations in non-excitable cells may have as compared to an adjustable stationary Ca(2+) signal. One of the proposed answers is that an oscillatory regime allows a lowering of the average Ca(2+) concentration, which is likely to be advantageous because Ca(2+) is harmful to the ...

Functional Single Index Model and Jensen Effect

2019
In natural ecosystems, environmental conditions are highly variable over time and space. There is much empirical evidence to show that environmental variability has significant effects on individuals and populations. The nonlinear response is modeled in this thesis in a functional single index model (FSIM), or its generalized version.
