An Integrated Probability-Based Approach for Multiple Response Surface Optimization
<p>Nearly all real life systems have multiple quality characteristics where individual modeling and optimization approaches can not provide a balanced compromising solution. Since performance, cost, schedule, and consistency remain the basics of any design process, design configurations are …

Adapting the Single-Request/Multiple-Response Message Exchange Pattern to Web Services
Single-Request/Multiple-Response (SRMR) is an important messaging exchange pattern because it can be used to model many real world problems elegantly. However, SRMR messaging is not directly supported by Web services, and, since it requires Callback to function it is hampered by current in-practice …

A Comparison of Item Parameters across Item Types
… on item formats. The item formats were standard multiple choice, multiple choice with a graphic or exhibit attached, multiple choice where the examinee was asked to choose the best of four possible correct solutions, multiple choice where examinees were directed to choose the exception, …

An examination of two methods of measuring inconsistency
… when responding to questionnaires with multiple response items. Specifically, there are individual differences in how consistently persons respond to items from the same dimension in a questionnaire (Reddock, Biderman & Nguyen, 2011). Currently, there is not a consensus on how …

Public knowledge about modifiable risk factors of dementia in Iceland
… of Iceland. Likert scale questionnaires and multiple response questions were used to assess knowledge of modifiable risk factors. The results showed that: 1) There was a significant gender difference in knowledge about modifiable risk factors and symptoms of dementia. 2) Participants with …

Continuing professional development (CPD) for pharmacists: implications for professional practice
… approach recognises that pharmacists’ responses were subjective and there was not an absolute truth that could be uncovered. Two multiple response sets were created: one for responses regarding CPD activities, and the other for responses relating to professional practices, and this …

Rao's Quadratic Entropy and Some New Applications
… association of two categorical variables with multiple responses. Finally, the gene expression data inspires another application of quadratic entropy in analyzing large scale data, where a hill-climbing type iterative algorithm is developed based on a new minimum quadratic entropy criterion. …

Pseudomonas spp. Isolated from Soybean Nodules Promote Soybean Growth and Nitrogen Fixation
… using two non-parametric, multivariate analyses: multiple response permutation procedure (MRPP) and permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA). Both analyses showed soybeans of both cultivars treated with Pancake differed from controls following the first harvest but not the …

GENE REGULATION CONTROLLED BY THE CRBS/R TWO-COMPONENT SYSTEM
… cue that then activates a cytoplasmic response regulator. The response regulator can, in turn, bind DNA and either activate or repress transcription of specific genes. One such TCS is the CrbS/R system, which is conserved among γ-Proteobacteria. This TCS has been shown to control the …

Integrated behavioral health in pediatric primary care: Identifying latent patient subgroups and differential outcomes
… and graduate-level trainees. A structured, multiple-response questionnaire was developed by the center’s senior staff and administered during therapy sessions. Results: A latent class analysis based on demographics, presenting concerns, medical history, and psychosocial risk factors was …

Cryptococcus neoformans e Cryptococcus gattii: quimiotipagem e correlação com criptococose em hospitais públicos de João Pessoa - PB.
… neck, headache, visual changes and irritability (multiple response). AIDS was the main risk factor (36%), followed by SE L (4%), HIV + (4%), sepsis + lymphoma (4%) and recorded as immunocompromised individuals (4%). Of the remainder, 32% had no underlying disease and 16% had no record. The …

An investigation of item "bounce" in a special grammar test
… of questions were designed in the test, the multiple-response multiple-choice questions and the open-ended evaluative questions. The latter allowed test-takers to comment on the former. Those evaluation responses helped the researcher to take a closer look at the reasons behind those multiple …

Nonlinear uncertainty analysis for multiple criteria natural resource decision support systems
… second order covariance propagation equation for multiple response models is developed to account for model nonlinearities and complexities. The equation permits the calculation of the covariance matrix of several model responses as a function of their first and second order sensitivities to …
