MOTIVATION High-throughput perturbation screens measure the phenotypes of thousands of biological samples under various conditions. The phenotypes measured in the screens are subject to substantial biological and technical variation. At the same time, in order to enable high throughput, it is often impossible to include a large number of replicates, and to randomize their order throughout the s...

recently full factorial design approach has been used to assess the recycling potential of a given waste. the objective of this study is to identify the significant factors and interactions involved in maximizing compressive strength of concrete when chromium waste is used as admixture. in this respect, experimental factors at two levels, which are admixture type (chromite/ chromite+ superplas...

While the evaluation of intervention effects in single-case research has relied on visual inspection of the data (Kazdin, 1980), the description of graphical forms are not considered an adequate substitute for statistical tests (Edgington, 1980). Moreover, there are cases when graphical displays of data tend to be quite ambiguous and treatment effects are not easily appreciated (Ferron & Sentov...

A method of data collection is presented that unites the efficiency of mass testing with the ease of instant electronic data collection that is typical of computer-based experiments run on individual participants. A wireless response system (WRS), originally designed as a teaching tool, is used to replicate three classic and robust effects from the memory literature (effects of false memory, le...

Technology-based interventions to promote health are expanding rapidly. Assessing the preliminary efficacy of these interventions can be achieved by employing single-case experiments (sometimes referred to as n-of-1 studies). Although single-case experiments are often misunderstood, they offer excellent solutions to address the challenges associated with testing new technology-based interventio...
