Functional thinking in cost estimation through the tools and concepts of axiomatic design
… incapable of anticipating the unseen or latent effects of design changes made in an effort to cut cost. This paper presents an example of how the tools and concepts of axiomatic design theory can be integrated with the parametric cost estimation process, and then presents a series of …

Individual and Interactive Effects of Maternally- and Trophically-Derived Mercury on Early Amphibian Development
… to examine the bioaccumulation and ecological effects of environmentally relevant Hg exposure routes acting at various early life stages in amphibians. By collecting amphibians in the field at the Hg-contaminated South River, VA, I confirmed that amphibians exhibiting different life histories …

Fast methods for fitting log-Gaussian Cox process models in ecology.
… modelling of point patterns that can accommodate latent effects. These latent effects can be used to account for missing predictors or other sources of clustering that could not be explained by a Poisson process. Such models are important in ecology where point patterns arise in the form of …

Acquired Cytogenetic Changes in Adult Twins Discordant for a History of Childhood Sexual Abuse
<p>The primary study aim was to evaluate the latent biological effect of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) on adults by quantifying acquired cytogenetic changes and cortisol levels in identical twins who were discordant (N=22) or concordant (N=2) for a history of CSA. Although the difference scores for …

Model-Based Measures of Interrater Agreement
… process is motivated by a threshold model with latent crossed item - rater random effects plus interaction and pure error. Under this framework it is shown that κ<sub>M</sub> is a monotone function of the Pearson (1900; 1913) tetrachoric correlation ρ between the latent effects of any …

From ‘did it work?’ to ‘what did it do?’: Rethinking financial literacy education impact through the narratives of fisherwomen on the Amazonian coast of Brazil.
… fisherwomen are central: the study investigates latent, relational, and culturally situated outcomes in identity, social practice, and modes of talk, asking what complex, non‑obvious outcomes can be attributed to the education programme and how shifts in dialogue, self‑perception, and community …

Costruzione di modelli di scelta discreta ibridi per misurare gli effetti delle strategie informative sulla scelta del modo di viaggio contestualmente agli aspetti latenti
… on: a) the negative (mainly environmental) effects of current behaviour and b) how individuals can change their current behaviour to mitigate the negative effects. The types of information provided in these studies are mostly: travel time, mileage travelled, travel cost, time spent in …
