A type 1 hybrid multi-site randomized controlled trial protocol for evaluating virtual interview training among autistic transition-age youth by Matthew J. Smith, James L. Merle, Mary Baker-Ericzén, Kari Sherwood, Lindsay A. Bornheimer, Brittany Ross, Meghan Harrington, Apara Sharma, Cheryl Brown, Timotheus (TJ) Gordon, ., David Telfer, Jocelyn Reese, Jennifer Hirst, Eugene A. Oulvey, Valerie Dignadice, Ed-Dee Williams, Sandra Magaña, Kara Hume, Connie Sung, Jane K. Burke-Miller, Justin D. Smith

“…Our specific aims are to 1) Evaluate whether Pre-ETS (or transition services) with VIT-TAY, as compared to Pre-ETS (or transition services) with an active control intervention (i.e., job interview didactics/e-learning with a series of 3–5 min videos of employed autistic adults talking about their career pathways) enhances employment outcomes; 2) Evaluate mechanisms of employment by nine months post-randomization; and 3) Conduct a multilevel, mixed-method process evaluation of the initial implementation of VIT-TAY across settings (e.g., acceptability, feasibility, and barriers and facilitators of implementation).…”

Prediction of the time course of callus stiffness as a function of mechanical parameters in experimental rat fracture healing studies--a numerical study. by Tim Wehner, Malte Steiner, Anita Ignatius, Lutz Claes

“…Based on this corroborated model, a fit curve function was derived which predicts the increase of callus stiffness dependent on bodyweight, fixation stiffness, and fracture gap size. By mathematically predicting the time course of the healing process prior to the animal studies, the data presented in this work provides support for planning new fracture healing experiments in rats. …”
