Regulation of the glucocorticoid receptor mRNA levels in the gills of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during smoltification
The regulation of the Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) transcript was investigated string in the gills of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during the parr-smolt transformation.Sampling of parr and smolt fish was performed between December and July and in particular during the smoltification period occurring in spring.Quantification of GR transcripts revea

Using the Many-Facet Rasch Model to analyse and evaluate the quality of objective structured clinical examination: a non-experimental cross-sectional design
Objectives Sources of bias, such as the examiners, domains and stations, can influence the student marks in objective structured clinical examination (OSCE).This study describes the extent to which the facets modelled in an OSCE can contribute to scoring variance and how they fit into a Many-Facet Rasch Model (MFRM) of OSCE performance.A further ob
