Generalizability Theory Made Simple(r): An Introductory Primer to G-Studies

Surface science: switching made simpler.

M odern electronic devices contain hundreds of millions of fieldeffect transistors, which perform a basic function of switching between two states, commonly known as ‘0’ and ‘1’. The idea of replacing the semiconductor circuits that are presently used as switches with single molecules is a major driving force in the field of molecular electronics. To date, various molecular switches have been p...

Identifying Sources of Disagreement: Generalizability Theory in Manual Annotation Studies

Many annotation projects have shown that the quality of manual annotations often is not as good as would be desirable for reliable data analysis. Identifying the main sources responsible for poor annotation quality must thus be a major concern. Generalizability theory is a valuable tool for this purpose, because it allows for the differentiation and detailed analysis of factors that influence a...

Generalizability Theory: Overview

Writing Efficient QCD Code Made Simpler: QA0

A new tool for writing platform-independent optimized QCD code, QA 0 , is described. Performance of a Möbius Domain Wall Fermion inverter written with qa0 on several platforms is presented .

Generalizability of Adoption Studies

How the probands are recruited also can affect the quality of a study’s conclusions. One potential source of bias is the influence of environmental factors on the selection of proband adoptees in the adoptees’ family method. For example, psychological or social problems in an adoptive family may contribute to the adoptee’s psychopathology. Simultaneously, these problems may prompt the family an...
