Comparison of Kernel equating methods under NEAT and NEC designs

International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2023
In this study, Kernel test equating methods were compared under NEAT and NEC designs. In NEAT design, Kernel post-stratification and chain equating methods taking into account optimal and large bandwidths were compared.

Developing non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) through building design [PDF]

Facilities, 2022
Purpose Physical inactivity has a considerable negative impact on health. Physical activity has reduced partly due to workplace and lifestyle changes, causing people to spend more time in buildings and increasing sedentary behaviour. The purpose of this paper is to address a largely untapped opportunity for designers and managers to improve building ...

Calculating Bias in Test Score Equating in a NEAT Design. [PDF]

Appl Psychol Meas
Test score equating is used to make scores from different test forms comparable, even when groups differ in ability. In practice, the non-equivalent group with anchor test (NEAT) design is commonly used. The overall aim was to compare the amount of bias under different conditions when using either chained equating or frequency estimation with five ...

Prospects and Design Insights of Neat Ionic Liquids as Supercapacitor Electrolytes [PDF]

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2021
Ionic liquids present an opportunity to design efficient electrolytes for supercapacitors, which are among the most extensively studied electrochemical energy storage systems. Ionic liquids are promising candidates for supercapacitor electrolytes because

Empirical Ensemble Equating Under the NEAT Design Inspired by Machine Learning Ideology

Methodology, 2023
This study proposes an empirical ensemble equating (3E) approach that collectively selects, adopts, weighs, and combines outputs from different sources to take and combine advantage of equating techniques in various score intervals. The ensemble idea was

Outlier Detection Using t-test in Rasch IRT Equating under NEAT Design. [PDF]

Appl Psychol Meas, 2023
In equating practice, the existence of outliers in the anchor items may deteriorate the equating accuracy and threaten the validity of test scores. Therefore, stability of the anchor item performance should be evaluated before conducting equating. This study used simulation to investigate the performance of the t-test method in detecting outliers and ...

Synergistic effects of Graphene Nanoplatelets and Joncryl ADR on the mechanical and thermal properties of PLA/POM nanocomposites [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is a bio-based polymer derived from renewable resources; however, its intrinsic brittleness and low ductility limit its wider application in engineering materials.

Virtual design of the neutron guide for the TOF spectrometer NEAT

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2010
We present the results of a virtual design study based on Monte-Carlo neutron ray tracing techniques for the neutron guide of the time of flight (TOF) spectrometer NEAT. We studied several configurations with linearly or elliptically tapered compressors with different degrees of focusing and different guide coatings. The calculations were performed and
