Differential Item Functioning Related to Age in the Reading Subtest of the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults by Raymond L. Ownby, Drenna Waldrop-Valverde

“…Based on observations when administering the test, we developed the hypothesis that some items on the reading comprehension subtest of the Test of Functional Health Literacy (TOFHLA) might be differentially more difficult for older adults and the elderly due to its use of the cloze response format, in which the participant is required to determine what word, when placed in a blank space in a sentence, will ensure that the sentence is intelligible. …”

Hydra Effect and Harvesting Optimal Policy in a Generalist Predator Prey Model With General Holling Type Response Functions by Solomon Molla Alemu, Mohammed Yiha Dawed, Tesfaye Tefera Mamo

“…This study illustrates selective and combined harvesting efforts to examine the existence of hydra effect and global MSTY (maximum sustainable total yield) in a generalist predator–prey mathematical model with general Holling type response functions. The hydra effect is an ecological paradox in which a species’ population size increases in response to an increase in its mortality rate. …”
