Semi-parametric models for response times and response accuracy in computerized testing
In computer-administered tests, response times can be recorded conjointly with the corresponding responses. This broadens the scope of potential modeling approaches because response times can be analyzed in addition to analyzing the responses themselves. Current models for response times,however, …

"A Metalloporphyrin-Based Colimetric Nose: ""smell-Seeing"
"To reduce response times, the ""Smell-Seeing"" array was miniaturized. Deposition of plasticized metalloporphyrin/polymer films on Teflon posts gave microarrays with faster response times (approximately 20fold) than reverse phase silica arrays at low analyte concentration. A prototype digital …

The utility of a technique for testing the difference in ease of chords on the Ternary Chord Keyboard
In a pilot study, response times of 64 possible chords on the Ternary Chord Keyboard (TCK) were compared in order to establish a basis for assigning characters to chords. It was found that subjects had faster response times for some chords than others. Upon close inspection of the experimental …
