First sliding area analysis of expansive soil slope based on the upper and lower bound solutions by Weiming HE, Shengwei SHI, Qiang CAI, Jiong LIANG

“…The results show that partial and progressive failure may still occur on expansive soil slope under the influence of expansion although they are determined to be stable by classical analysis methods. The upper bound solution of the first slip area is less affected by the effective shear strength, while the influence of residual shear strength on the lower bound solution is particularly significant. …”

Evaluation of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale in the UK: a psychometric analysis including predictive validity by Geraldine Barrett, Jennifer Hall, Corinne Rocca

“…Objectives To evaluate the psychometric performance, including predictive validity, of a UK version of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy (DAP) scale.Design Prospective cohort study for psychometric evaluation.Setting UK.Participants Women in the UK aged 15 years to menopause, who were not pregnant at the time of recruitment in October 2018, were eligible. 994 women completed the baseline survey and 90.2% of women eligible for the 12-month survey participated.Primary and secondary outcome measures The DAP scale was assessed according to key measurement properties of validity (construct (structural and hypothesis testing) and criterion (predictive)), reliability (internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha and test–retest using intraclass correlation coefficients, ICC) and differential item functioning. Item response and classical test theory methods were used.Results The scale was acceptable, understandable and showed good targeting with the full range of scores captured. …”

An item response theory analysis of the Dissociative Experiences Scale II: examining psychometric properties and longitudinal stability among Japanese adults by Tatsuya Ikeda, Yuhei Urano

“…Conclusion In the present study, we applied item response theory (IRT) to the DES-II, which has traditionally been interpreted using classical test theory (CTT). Results suggested the need for item-focused assessment rather than relying solely on mean scores or cut-off points. …”

Development of algorithm for calculation of operation and repair efficiency of a plate heat exchanger by S. M. Chekardovsky, K. N. Ilyukhin, A. A. Melekhin, M. N. Chekardovsky

“…In the process of the work, the following tasks were set and solved: thermal, design and hydraulic parameters of the heat exchanger were calculated on the basis of the well-known classical methodology. The calculation results were used to determine the exergy losses of the designed heat exchanger using the calculated values of the average logarithmic temperatures and other parameters of the heating and heated heat carriers; exergy losses from heat exchange with the environment, from the final temperature difference of heat carriers, from hydraulic resistances in the paths of heat carriers; specific thermal exergy of heat carriers at the inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger; exergy flow at the inlet and outlet of the apparatus; exergy coefficient of the heat exchanger. …”
