These new testing approaches will involve complex end points such as signature profiles and biomarkers of in vitro pathway perturbations, more relevant exposure assessments, population-based studies with molecular and genetic components, and the use of predictive toxicity algorithms based on computational systems modeling.
This unique utility of honey bees could be broadly applicable in areas of research such as biogeography, biodiversity assessment, population genetics, floral phenology tracking, and invasive species monitoring.
General concerns include a lack of attention to sampling and study design, inconsistent criteria for clinical assessment, population stratification, the use of genetic markers that are only modestly correlated with disease, and publication bias.
Fourth, Cella and Chang [ 42] warned of the possible limitations of using IRT methods in the evaluation of health measures since IRT methods were originally developed to be used with a fairly homogeneous educational assessment population.

The qualitative themes and resulting PRO item content to be used in MEI-based measures will typically be relevant to the majority of individuals in the focus groups and, by extension, the target assessment population.
Lawmakers from the more threatened places objected, and proposed a program -- the Urban Area Security Initiative -- that would give special aid to cities at special risk, based mainly on intelligence assessments and population density.
Many Indian primates face extinction, but assessments of population status are hindered by lack of reliable distribution data.
The design of randomized controlled clinical studies can greatly benefit from iterative assessments of population representativeness of eligibility criteria.
We focus our assessments of population size structure responses to anthropogenic perturbation on one of the most widespread native stream fish (Squalius laietanus).
