INTERNATIONAL USE OF SCREENING TOOLS THAT MEASURE ‘STANDARD DRINKS’: WHOSE STANDARD?

Stationary Processes Whose Filtrations Are Standard

We study the standard property of the natural filtration associated to a 0–1 valued stationary process. In our main result we show that if the process has summable memory decay, then the associated filtration is standard. We prove it by coupling techniques. For a process whose associated filtration is standard, we construct a product type filtration extending it, based upon the usual couplings ...

Standard deviation, standard error. Which 'standard' should we use?

Standard deviation (SD) and standard error (SE) are quietly but extensively used in biomedical publications. These terms and notations are used as descriptive statistics (summarizing numerical data), and they are used as inferential statistics (estimating population parameters from samples). I review the use and misuse of SD and SE in several authoritative medical journals and make suggestions ...

Didactic Design through Storyboarding: Standard Concepts for Standard Tools

The current state of affair in e-learning world-wide shows a reluctance to didactic design. Learners frequently complain and scientists discuss about insufficient adaptivity of e-learning offers to the learners’ needs. Didactics is badly underestimated. High quality didactic design is seen as a crucial aspect of dissemination. E-learning content and services need to reach their audience properl...

Standards not that standard

There is a general assent on the key role of standards in Synthetic Biology. In two consecutive letters to this journal, suggestions on the assembly methods for the Registry of standard biological parts have been described. We fully agree with those authors on the need of a more flexible building strategy and we highlight in the present work two major functional challenges standardization effor...
