Article Abstract

We tested the hypothesis that only 3 factors of personality description are replicable across many different languages if they are independently derived by a psycholexical approach. Our test was based on 14 trait taxonomies from 12 different languages. Factors were compared at each level of factor extraction with solutions with 1 to 6 factors. The 294 factors in the comparisons were identified using sets of markers of the 6-factor model by correlating the marker scales with the factors. The factor structures were pairwise compared in each case on the basis of the common variables that define the 2 sets of factors. Congruence coefficients were calculated between the varimax rotated structures after Procrustes rotation, where each structure in turn served as a target to which all other structures were rotated. On the basis of average congruence coefficients of all 91 comparisons, we conclude that factor solutions with 3 factors on average are replicable across languages; solutions with more factors are not.

Protein-nucleic acid binding sites play a crucial role in biological processes such as gene expression, signal transduction, replication, and transcription. In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence, protein language models, graph neural networks, and transformer architectures have been adopted to develop both structure-based and sequence-based predictive models. Structure-based methods benefit from the spatial relationship between residues and have shown promising performance.

For nearly 350 years, the process of disseminating scientific knowledge has remained largely unchanged. Scientists conduct experiments, analyze the data, and publish their findings in the form of scientific articles. Since the turn of the century, this process has been challenged by numerous open science and data sharing efforts to enhance transparency, reproducibility, and replicability of scientific research.

Background Accurate impressions are essential for the long-term success of implant-supported restorations. Both conventional and digital techniques are routinely used in clinical implantology, each with its own advantages and limitations. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the precision of digital and conventional implant impressions and compare the marginal fit of crowns obtained from digital impressions and those obtained from conventional impressions.

Purpose: This clinical focus article describes the role that treatment intensity plays in social communication interventions utilizing augmentative and alternative communication for learners who have complex communication needs associated with intellectual disability and/or autism spectrum disorder.

Method: We delineate the parameters that comprise a frequently used treatment intensity taxonomy and provide an overview of the extant literature pertaining to treatment intensity as it applies to social communication interventions that include augmentative and alternative communication. Next, we describe several additional variables that complement treatment intensity frameworks and summarize the need for more rigorous methodological descriptions of intervention procedures in social communication intervention studies.
