Application of nonparametric item response theory in determining the one-dimensionality and adaptability of TOEFL iBT listening test

open access: yesLanguage Testing in Asia, 2022
Listening comprehension in English, as one of the most fundamental skills, has an essential role in the process of learning English. Non-parametric item Response Theory (NIRT) is a probabilistic-nonparametric approach to item response theory (IRT) which ...

Shrinking the Variance in Experts’ “Classical” Weights Used in Expert Judgment Aggregation

open access: yesForecasting, 2023
Mathematical aggregation of probabilistic expert judgments often involves weighted linear combinations of experts’ elicited probability distributions of uncertain quantities. Experts’ weights are commonly derived from calibration experiments based on the

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Feasibility as Probability: Rejecting Hard Constraints and the (Im)possibility Distinction

open access: yesFree & Equal
A proper understanding of feasibility is important for a number of ongoing methodological debates within political theory. This paper challenges the frequent reliance in feasibility discussions on distinguishing between “hard” and “soft” constraints ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

FMEA Risk Assessment Method for Aircraft Power Supply System Based on Probabilistic Language-TOPSIS

open access: yesAerospace
The failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) method, which estimates the risk levels of systems or components solely based on the multiplication of simple risk rating indices, faces several limitations.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Probabilistic Solar Generation Forecasting for Rapidly Changing Weather Conditions

open access: yesIEEE Access
Probabilistic solar generation forecasting provides a better means of quantifying generation uncertainties for power grid operations by providing a range of potential power outputs rather than a single-point estimate. The traditional probabilistic models

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.
