Uncovering Differential Item Functioning effects using MIMIC and mediated MIMIC models
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 The aim of this study was twofold: first, to examine the presence of bias across gender in a scholastic achievement test named the Academic Achievement Test (AAT) for the Science Track.

Cosmological scalar fields that mimic the $\Lambda CDM$ cosmological model [PDF]
Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies, 2008 We look for cosmologies with a scalar field (dark energy without cosmological constant), which mimic the standard $\Lambda CDM$ cosmological model yielding exactly the same large-scale geometry described by the evolution of the Hubble parameter (i.e ...

When Do Phylogenetic Mixture Models Mimic Other Phylogenetic Models? [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2012 Phylogenetic mixture models, in which the sites in sequences undergo different substitution processes along the same or different trees, allow the description of heterogeneous evolutionary processes.

MiMiC: Multiscale Modeling in Computational Chemistry [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020 Hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approaches are commonly used methods for investigating a plethora of chemical, biochemical, and biophysical processes that require explicit treatment of the electronic degrees of freedom when the system is too big to be entirely treated by QM methods alone (Warshel and Levitt, 1976; Senn and Thiel ...

Human Cadaveric Artificial Lung Tumor-Mimic Training Model [PDF]
Pathology and Oncology Research, 2021 Introduction: An important phase in surgical training is gaining experience in real human anatomical situations. When a cadaver is available it may complement the various artificial practice models. However, it is often necessary to supplement the characteristics of the cadavers with a simulation of a tumor.

Animal Model That Mimics Atherosclerotic Plaque Rupture [PDF]
Circulation Research, 1998 Abstract —Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is the main cause of coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarcts. Currently, there is no animal model of plaque disruption. We have developed a rabbit model in which an atherosclerotic plaque can be ruptured at will after an inflatable balloon becomes embedded into the plaque ...

A Novel Organotypic Model Mimics the Tumor Microenvironment [PDF]
The American Journal of Pathology, 2009 Carcinoma cell invasion is traditionally studied in three-dimensional organotypic models composed of type I collagen and fibroblasts. However, carcinoma cell behavior is affected by the various cell types and the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the tumor microenvironment.

Can mouse models mimic sporadic Alzheimer’s disease?
Neural Regeneration Research, 2020 Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the most common form of dementia worldwide. As age is the main risk factor, > 97% of all AD cases are of sporadic origin, potentiated by various risk factors associated with life style and starting at an age > 60 years.

A Four-Dimensional Organoid System to Visualize Cancer Cell Vascular Invasion
Biology, 2020 Vascular invasion of cancer is a critical step in cancer progression, but no drug has been developed to inhibit vascular invasion. To achieve the eradication of cancer metastasis, elucidation of the mechanism for vascular invasion and the development of ...
