The authors offer the image of our nation as a nautical convoy. Some boats are large, well
built, and able to ride out the heaviest of turbulent seas. Others are smaller, but still quite sturdy…

Rechargeable magnesium batteries are poised to be viable candidates for large-scale
energy storage devices in smart grid communities and electric vehicles. However, the energy …

… It is against this backdrop that Rima Rudd, Irwin Kirsch, and Kentaro Yamamoto undertook
this study of the literacy of adults that is directly relevant to understanding and navigating …

This study developed a hybrid of item response theory (IRT) models and latent class models,
which combined the strengths of each type of model. The primary motivation for developing …

The generalized partial-credit model (GPCM) is used frequently in educational testing and
in large-scale assessments for analyzing polytomous data. Special cases of the generalized …

All‐solid‐state fluoride‐ion batteries (FIBs) are regarded as promising energy storage
devices; however, currently proposed cathodes fail to meet the requirements for practical …

When individuals perform tasks, they differ from each other not only in their ability to perform
the tasks correctly, but also in their speed. Even though the traditional indicator of test …

The stability of circular tunnels in cohesive-frictional soils subjected to surcharge loading has
been investigated theoretically and numerically assuming plane strain conditions. Despite …

The electrification of heavy-duty transport and aviation will require new strategies to increase
the energy density of electrode materials 1 , 2 . The use of anionic redox represents one …

Composite electrodes containing active materials, carbon and binder are widely used in
lithium-ion batteries. Since the electrode reaction occurs preferentially in regions with lower …
