Forensic firearms identification, the determination by a trained firearms examiner as to whether or not bullets or cartridges came from a common weapon, has long been a mainstay in the criminal courts. Reliability of forensic firearms identification has been challenged in the general scientific community, and, in…

'Brian Befano' 'Sílvia de Sanjosé' 'Diden Egemen' 'Ana Cecilia Rodríguez' 'Mark Schiffman' 'J. Peter Campbell' 'Jayashree Kalpathy-Cramer'] The integration of artificial intelligence into clinical workflows requires reliable and robust models. Repeatability is a key attribute of model robustness. Repeatable models…

Quantitative imaging biomarkers (QIBs) are increasingly used in clinical studies. Because many QIBs are derived through multiple steps in image data acquisition and data analysis, QIB measurements can produce large variabilities, posing a significant challenge in translating QIBs into clinical trials, and ultimately…

Measures of cognitive performance, derived from psychometric tasks, have yielded important insights into the factors governing cognitive variation. However, concerns remain over the robustness of these measures, which may be susceptible to non-cognitive factors such as motivation and persistence. Efforts to quantify…

Automated synthesis and open-data practices are increasingly seen as key enablers of transparent, traceable, and reproducible science. By combining automation with structured, metadata-rich documentation, it becomes possible to systematically com- pare synthesis strategies and link outcomes to detailed parameters. In…

Title: Synopsis There is currently no consensus on the most biologically meaningful way to calculate discrete-individual repeatability of stress response curves. In the current study, we compared three metrics of discrete-individual repeatability that incorporate the whole stress response curve: profile repeatability…

Professional golf players spend years practicing, but will still perform one or two practice swings without a ball before executing the actual swing. Why do they do this? In this study we tested the hypothesis that repeating a well-practiced movement leads to a reduction of movement variability. To operationalize this…

Markers of oxidative stress are widely used as indicators of physiological state, but their utility for ecological and evolutionary inference remains uncertain due to high intraindividual variation masking associations with environmental conditions, fitness, and other physiological indicators such as telomere length.…

In many evolving systems, mutations have background-dependent fitness effects due to genetic interactions between loci within a genome (intragenomic epistasis). In coevolving species, genetic interactions can span across genomes, which has been described as intergenomic epistasis. It is known that intragenomic…

The repeatability of evolution is fundamentally important for understanding the origin and diversification of life as well as for developing evolutionary forecasting tools. Repeatability is limited by stochasticity, here defined as changes that are independent of genotypic fitness effects. Over short timescales, the…

Individual behaviour is a combination of previous experiences and genetic factors whose interaction can be adaptively adjusted to respond to changes in the surrounding environment. Understanding the continuity of behaviours both within and among individuals can help us disentangle the ecological and evolutionary…

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is a principal target for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of major depressive disorder, with therapeutic effects hypothesized to be mediated by the connectivity between the DLPFC and the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC).…

Reproducibility is widely acknowledged as a fundamental principle in scientific research. Currently, the scientific community grapples with numerous challenges associated with reproducibility, often referred to as the "reproducibility crisis." This crisis permeated numerous scientific disciplines. In this study, we…

There is an increasing number of potential biomarkers that could allow for early assessment of treatment response or disease progression. However, measurements of quantitative biomarkers are subject to random variability. Hence, differences of a biomarker in longitudinal measurements do not necessarily represent real…

Many studies provide insight into calibration of airborne remote sensing data but very few specifically address the issue of temporal radiometric repeatability. In this study, we acquired airborne hyperspectral optical sensing data from experimental objects (white Teflon and colored panels) during 52 flight missions on…

The concern that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are entering a "reproducibility crisis" has spurred significant research in the past few years. Yet with each paper, it is often unclear what someone means by "reproducibility". Our work attempts to clarify the scope of "reproducibility" as…

Humans tend to repeat past actions due to rewarding outcomes. Recent computational models propose that the probability of selecting a specific action is also, in part, based on how often this action was selected before, independent of previous outcomes or reward. However, these new models so far lack empirical support.…

Microarrays are widely used for detecting target analytes and biomarkers, with fabrication methods ranging from non-contact to contact bioprinting techniques. Microcontact bioprinting (μCP), which utilizes elastomeric stamps to transfer biorecognition molecules (bioinks) onto substrates, offers advantages such as…

As demand rises for scalable and sustainable energy storage, fast and low-cost diagnostics capable of identifying cell-to-cell variations are urgently needed, particularly for factory-produced sorting and second-life assessment. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is widely used but remains slow, expensive and…

Iteroselectivity is the selectivity that governs the number of repeating chemical transformations on a substrate bearing multiple identical reactive functions or when the reactive function is regenerated like in the case of polymerization. This new concept of selectivity is defined and compared with the classical…
