Using Sniffing Behavior to Differentiate True Negative from False Negative Responses in Trained Scent-Detection Dogs
False negatives are recorded in every chemical detection system, but when animals are used as a scent detector, some false negatives can arise as a result of a failure in the link between detection and the trained alert response, or a failure of the handler to identify the positive alert. A false negative response can be critical in certain scenarios, such as searching for a live person or dete...

Scent identification line-ups have been in use as a forensic tool in a number of European countries since the beginning of this century.

However, there are also some marked differences between countries, ...
متن کاملLncRNAs as new biomarkers to differentiate triple negative breast cancer from non-triple negative breast cancer
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive type of breast cancer with high heterogeneity. To date, there is no efficient therapy for TNBC patients and the prognosis is poor. It is urgent to find new biomarkers for the diagnosis of TNBC or efficient therapy targets. As an area of focus in the post-genome period, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to play critical roles in ...
متن کاملThe false-positive to false-negative ratio in epidemiologic studies.
The ratio of false-positive to false-negative findings (FP:FN ratio) is an informative metric that warrants further evaluation. The FP:FN ratio varies greatly across different epidemiologic areas. In genetic epidemiology, it has varied from very high values (possibly even >100:1) for associations reported in candidate-gene studies to very low values (1:100 or lower) for associations with genome...
