Integrating Diverse Perspectives for Safer Fire Designs: The Case for Convergence Research
ABSTRACT A narrow view of fire safety often overlooks the complex web of factors that shape the real‐world risks for building occupants, community members, people in temporary shelter, and those without housing. Many studies examine individual components of fire safety, such as fire hazards, building performance, and human behavior.

Refinement of Stout's Procedure for Assessing Latent Trait Unidimensionality
Currently, the most popular method of measuring an individual's ability is based on Item Response Theory (IRT). One of the most critical assumptions on which this IRT methodology is based is "unidimensionality". In general this assumption means
