Bridging Food Studies

Bridging Laboratory and Field Studies

The method we present here retrospective review and rating of Field Operational Test (FOT) data is designed to capture both the rigor of the laboratory and the ecological validity of the field. It is tailored for studies of driver acceptance of active safety systems. The method makes it possible to leverage expensive FOT data within the confines of the laboratory.

Bridging case-control studies and randomized trials

Randomized trials and observational studies, such as case-control studies, are often seen as opposing approaches. However, in many instances results obtained by different designs may complement each other. For instance, case-control studies on aetiology of disease may help to give the direction of future trials. In this commentary, the author discusses the purpose of randomization and observati...

A Survey of Studies of Bridging Anaphora

This paper aims to review previous major studies of bridging anaphora resolution and generation in terms of their major views, advantages and inadequacies of each theory from the psychological, coherence-based, corpus-based, relevance-theoretic, cognitive, formal and computational perspectives. Then a critique of previous approaches to BA resolution and generation are made for future studies.

Threshold studies in food allergy

Thresholds constitute a critical piece of information in assessing the risk from allergenic foods at both the individual and population levels. Knowledge of the minimum dose that can elicit a reaction is of great interest to all food allergy stakeholders. Threshold is defined as a limit below which a stimulus causes no reaction. Associated with the concept of threshold are the toxicological ter...
