Item response theory is usually applied to items with a selected-response format, such as multiple choice items, whereas generalizability theory is usually applied to constructed-response tasks assessed by raters. However, in many situations, raters may use rating scales consisting of items with a selected-response format. This chapter presents a short overview of how item response theory and g...

Implementation of the risk management concepts into construction practice may enhance the performance of project by taking appropriate response actions against identified risks. This research proposes a multi-criteria group decision making approach for the evaluation of different alternative response scenarios. To take into account the uncertainties inherent in evaluation process, fuzzy logic i...

saline and drought stress conditions are the most important factors in yield reduction of crops in the world. breeding of cultivars with high tolerance to these stresses and satisfactory yielding are considerable. the aim of this study was to compare the means of selected generations in saline and drought stress conditions in order to calculate response to selection. in this study two populatio...

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the impact of selection for greater muscling on the adrenaline responsiveness of muscle, adipose and liver tissue, as reflected by changes in plasma levels of the intermediary metabolites lactate, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and glucose. This study used 18-month-old steers from an Angus herd visually assessed and selected for divergence in muscli...

background previous studies using pegylated interferon (peg-ifn) and ribavirin (rbv) combination therapy suggested that patients with hepatitis c virus (hcv) genotype 1 and low pretreatment hcv rna level who achieved rapid virological response (rvr) can be treated for 24 weeks without compromising sustained virological response (svr) rate. objectives the current study aimed to investigate the e...

This paper employs one-dimensional numerical ground response analysis models to investigate seismic response of shallow cohesive and non-cohesive soil deposits on vertical propagation of horizontal shear waves. Soil response is modelled by traditional equivalent-linear (EL) frequency-domain analysis using DEEPSOIL software and nonlinear (NL) time-domain analysis using OPENSEES software. The ana...
