The Assessment of Reliability Under Range Restriction: A Comparison of α, ω, and Test–Retest Reliability for Dichotomous Data
(Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2012-10-01)
Though much research and attention has been directed at assessing the correlation coefficient under range restriction, the assessment of reliability under range restriction has been largely ignored. This article uses item ...
Comparative Transcriptome Analyses of Deltamethrin-Resistant and -Susceptible Anopheles gambiae Mosquitoes from Kenya by RNA-Seq
(PLos One, 2012-09-07)
Malaria causes more than 300 million clinical cases and 665,000 deaths each year, and the majority of the mortality and morbidity occurs in sub-Saharan Africa. Due to the lack of effective vaccines and wide-spread resistance ...
Dyadic Power Theory, Touch, and Counseling Psychology: A Response to Smith, Vogel, Madon, and Edwards (2011)
(The Counseling Psychologist, 2012-10-01)
Smith, Vogel, Madon, and Edwards’ (2011) recent article tested dyadic power theory (DPT) by examining the use of touch as a compliance-gaining tactic in the conflicts of married couples. In this response, we raise a ...
Organizational and Supervisory Apology Effectiveness: Apology Giving in Work Settings
(Business Communication Quarterly, 2012-12-01)
We synthesize the interdisciplinary literature into a heuristic for crafting effective organizational and supervisory apologies (the OOPS four-component apology). In the first experiment, we demonstrate how an offense ...
Cryptocephal, the Drosophila melanogaster ATF4, Is a Specific Coactivator for Ecdysone Receptor Isoform B2
(PLos Genetics, 2012-08-09)
Author Summary Nuclear receptors are proteins that regulate gene expression in response to steroid and thyroid hormones and other small lipid-soluble signaling molecules. In many cases, nuclear receptor genes encode ...

Exposure of Soil Microbial Communities to Chromium and Arsenic Alters Their Diversity and Structure
(PLos One, 2012-06-29)
Extensive use of chromium (Cr) and arsenic (As) based preservatives from the leather tanning industry in Pakistan has had a deleterious effect on the soils surrounding production facilities. Bacteria have been shown to be ...
Cost and Efficiency Analysis of NEMO Protocol Entities

To support IP-mobility of networks in motion, IETF proposed Network Mobility (NEMO) protocol that uses various signaling messages to ensure connectivity of the mobile nodes with the Internet and to maintain security of ...
Crumple: A Method for Complete Enumeration of All Possible Pseudoknot-Free RNA Secondary Structures
(PLos One, 2012-12-27)
The diverse landscape of RNA conformational space includes many canyons and crevices that are distant from the lowest minimum free energy valley and remain unexplored by traditional RNA structure prediction methods. A ...
Similar Gene Estimates from Circular and Linear Standards in Quantitative PCR Analyses Using the Prokaryotic 16S rRNA Gene as a Model
(PLos One, 2012-12-19)
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is one of the most widely used tools for quantifying absolute numbers of microbial gene copies in test samples. A recent publication showed that circular plasmid DNA standards grossly overestimated ...
