When more is not better: understanding the potential nonlinear relationship between intelligence and rating accuracy by Schade, Marizanne

“…However, researchers have yet to investigate whether these variables could be nonlinearly related. By studying nonlinear models in judgment and accuracy, we can not only deepen our understanding of the ‘good judge' in HRM, but we may further enhance methods to select and train raters in applied practice. …”

Characterisation of HIV-1 Envelope features of breakthrough infections from the CAPRISA 004 Microbicide Trial by Ismail, Sherazaan Dineo

“…The TFV arm viruses were not more resistant to TFV than those in the placebo arm. A comparison of variable loop characteristics, distance to a consensus representative of viruses circulating in the region, and sensitivity to inhibitors or entry efficiencies of the viruses, also found no difference in genotypic nor phenotypic properties between study arms. …”

Turbulence in the sea ice impacted Southern Ocean and its implications for primary production and carbon export by Nunes, Da Costa Isabelle

“…Firstly, we find that sea ice melt by introducing a lateral freshwater gradient enhances stirring of submesoscale flows (0.1-10 km) and therefore lateral variability in the upper ocean, but simultaneously constrains vertical fluxes between the ocean interior and surface by enhancing stratification. …”
