Neurocognitive, School‐Based, and Quality of Life Outcomes for Youth With Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia: A Scoping Review

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The medical burdens of sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion‐dependent β‐thalassemia (TDT) are chronic and cumulative, even in children. Yet the effects expand beyond medications and healthcare visits due to their impacts on school attendance, academic performance, and peer engagement.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Constructing indirect randomized response techniques using symmetry of response

open access: yes, 2005
This paper considers the problem of estimating the population proportion when the study variable is sensitive in nature. Some indirect randomized response techniques are proposed, which maintain the requirement of efficiency and protection of ...

On improving randomized response techniques

open access: yes, 2020
In this thesis, we have introduced three new randomized response techniques. The proposed new techniques include: making use of a zero-truncated binomial distribution as a randomization device, an improvement on Warner’s model making use of a mixture of ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Some Calibration Estimators of the Mean of a Sensitive Variable Under Measurement Error

open access: yesMathematics
This study explores the estimation of the mean of a sensitive variable using calibration estimators under measurement error. Three randomized response techniques are evaluated: Partial Randomized Response Technique, Compulsory Randomized Response ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

A Survey on Illicit Drug Use among University Students by Binary Randomized Response Technique: Crosswise Design

open access: yesSakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2020
This paper aims to introduce Randomized Response Techniques (RRT’s) and show that how RRT’s are implemented in surveys in which sensitive behaviors are investigated.

Indirect questioning methods for sensitive survey questions: Modelling criminal behaviours among a prison population.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Information such as the prevalence and frequency of criminal behaviour is difficult to estimate using standard survey techniques because of the tendency of respondents to withhold or misrepresent information.

More is not always better: An experimental individual-level validation of the randomized response technique and the crosswise model. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Social desirability and the fear of sanctions can deter survey respondents from responding truthfully to sensitive questions. Self-reports on norm breaking behavior such as shoplifting, non-voting, or tax evasion may thus be subject to considerable ...
