True Stress and True Strain01:28

True Stress and True Strain

848
Engineering stress is calculated as the load divided by the original, undeformed cross-sectional area. It approximates a material under load. This approximation is especially relevant post-yield in ductile materials. Though engineering stress-strain diagrams are often used for their convenience and accessibility, they can sometimes fall short in accuracy, particularly when dealing with large strain values.
In contrast, true stress offers a more precise portrayal. It is computed by dividing the...

Uncertainty in Measurement: Accuracy and Precision03:37

Uncertainty in Measurement: Accuracy and Precision

101.2K
Scientists typically make repeated measurements of a quantity to ensure the quality of their findings and to evaluate both the precision and the accuracy of their results. Measurements are said to be precise if they yield very similar results when repeated in the same manner. A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or the accepted value. Precise values agree with each other; accurate values agree with a true value.

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

13.9K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Hardy-Weinberg Principle01:49

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

76.3K
Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.

Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

50.1K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

8.2K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Education

Background:

  • Patients frequently access online resources for health information.
  • Tinnitus management information online varies significantly in quality and accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the quality and readability of online tinnitus information.
  • To identify reliable sources for tinnitus patient education.

Main Methods:

  • A standardized review of 27 tinnitus-related websites.
  • Assessment using the DISCERN instrument for quality.
  • Evaluation of readability using the Flesch Reading Ease scale.

Main Results:

  • Average DISCERN quality score was 34.5/80 (fair quality).
  • Significant variability in website quality (range: poor to very good).
  • Average Flesch Reading Ease score was 52.6 (difficult to read).

Conclusions:

  • Online tinnitus information is generally of fair quality but difficult to read.
  • Substantial variation exists in the quality of available online resources.
  • Action on Hearing Loss and British Tinnitus Association websites provide the highest quality information.
