Randomized Item Response Theory Models [PDF]

, 2005
The randomized response (RR) technique is often used to obtain answers on sensitive questions. A new method is developed to measure latent variables using the RR technique because direct questioning leads to biased results. Within the RR technique is the

What can functional transcranial Doppler ultrasonography reveal about the cerebral lateralization of writing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Which brain hemisphere controls writing? This review synthesizes all five functional transcranial Doppler studies of writing (handwriting and typing) published to date in adults and children. Right‐handers show left‐hemispheric dominance for the linguistic component of writing (written word generation), whereas findings for left‐handers remain ...

A novel randomized scrambling technique for mean estimation of a finite population

Heliyon
In recent decades, the randomized response technique has attracted researchers due to its usefulness in sensitive surveys. The randomized response procedure is used for the collection of responses on sensitive issues such as cheating in examination ...

Stimulator of interferon genes agonist augmented antitumor immunity of osimertinib in Egfr‐mutated lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining osimertinib with the STING agonist ADU‐S100 activates innate and adaptive immunity to overcome the non‐inflamed microenvironment of Egfr‐mutant lung cancer. This combination increases NK and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, associated with activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway and local immunogenic cell death.

Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).

Optimal strategy for improved estimation of population mean of sensitive variable using non-sensitive auxiliary variable

Journal of Big Data
To improve the transformed ratio type estimators, this study uses new population parameters that are derived from extra information using a randomized response technique (RRT).

Partial FAK suppression promotes tumor growth, an effect reversed by macrophage p110δ PI3K inactivation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Partial inhibition of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) can paradoxically promote tumor growth, rather than simply producing a weaker antitumor effect than that observed with strong FAK suppression. In breast cancer and melanoma models, targeting p110δ PI3K, particularly in macrophages, counteracted these tumor‐promoting effects, highlighting the importance ...

Innovative techniques for estimating illegal activities in a human-wildlife-management conflict [PDF]

, 2013
Effective management of biological resources is contingent upon stakeholder compliance with rules. With respect to disease management, partial compliance can undermine attempts to control diseases within human and wildlife populations.
