Although selection tests are typically validated against only a single criterion, calls in the personnel selection literature urge the examination of selection devices across multiple criteria. This study examined biodata criterion-related validity across multiple performance criteria in a sample of 6,036 automated systems controller applicants. The performance measures examined included a pape...

Custom-made pencils containing reagents dispersed in a solid matrix were developed to enable rapid and solvent-free deposition of reagents onto membrane-based fluidic devices. The technique is as simple as drawing with the reagent pencils on a device. When aqueous samples are added to the device, the reagents dissolve from the pencil matrix and become available to react with analytes in the sam...

The present study focuses on the implementation of a self assessment procedure in a Physics class, extended during a seven weeks period in a European secondary level school. The researchers used three modes of assessment based on paper and pencil, computer-web and mobile devices respectively. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of each mode of assessment on students’ motivation an...

An 8-year-old girl attended a Halloween party (Fig. 1) where her facewas decoratedwith a colourmake-up pencil. On removing the make-up, she developed erythematous, scaly, itchy patches on the cheeks and perioral area. Hermother applied argan oil on the lesions for some days, which causedaworseningof the rash. Thegirlwas treated in our department with methylprednisolone aceponate cream. Use of t...

Technology has transformed the science and practice of medicine. In this special mini-forum, data using digital neuropsychological technology are reported. All these papers demonstrate how coupling with standard paper pencil tests able to extract behavior not otherwise obtainable. As assessment methods mature, early identification persons emergent neurodegenerative other neurological illness ma...

Spatial neglect is most frequently observed after right-hemispheric stroke and is characterized by a failure to report, to respond, or to orient to stimuli presented to the contralesional side. Although many neglect patients show difficulties in accomplishing activities of daily living (ADL), to date the clinical assessment of neglect is based upon neuropsychological paper-and-pencil tests. Thu...

Due to the existing algorithm of pencil drawing mainly focuses on automatically generated the images, and rendering with parameters is researched little. In view of this, it developed a colored pencil drawing rendering algorithm with multi-parameter in this paper. It presented an improved pencil texture generation algorithm by setting 6 parameters for pencil rendering, and using wavelet methods...

In this study powder coated samples were compared with liquid paint samples. These samples are used for high heat resistance coatings on mufflers used by automobile industry. The samples were prepared by silicone resins. Different physical mechanical tests were carried out to compare powder and liquid based samples. After performing the tests HR 600 sample has the highest adhesion strength, thi...
