Police administer live showup procedures when a suspect is located shortly after a crime, yet most prior research has relied on static, image-based showups, where confidence is often a weaker predictor of accuracy than in lineup procedures. Because actual police showup procedures involve live, in-person identifications, we conducted two studies to test the reliability of eyewitness confidence in live showups. In Study 1, a laboratory experiment (N = 229), identifications made with both high...

Parasitic infections in solid organ transplant recipients are uncommon but potentially devastating. Transmission may occur through donor-derived infection, reactivation of latent disease, or post-transplant environmental exposure, often with nonspecific presentations that delay diagnosis. Clinically important pathogens include Toxoplasma gondii, Plasmodium spp., Babesia spp., Trypanosoma cruzi, Strongyloides stercoralis, Schistosoma spp., and selected free-living amoebae and intestinal...

Proper merging behavior is critical for work zone safety. A thorough understanding of the factors influencing how vehicles merge under different sign scenarios is essential for developing and evaluating effective safety strategies. This study investigates merging behaviors at highway work zones under different flashing speed limit sign (FSLS) and portable changeable message sign (PCMS) scenarios. Two groups of random parameters logit models with heterogeneity in means and variances are estimated...

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are thought to develop in the bone marrow and fetal liver. However, increasing evidence supports the presence of thymic ILC2s in mice and humans. In this study, we introduce a novel fate-mapping mouse model designed to track thymic ILC2s in peripheral tissues. Thymic ILC2s are labeled by ZsGreen, whose expression is induced by Cd3giCre. While they are present in the thymus and peripheral tissues, they are not found in the bone marrow. These cells are...

Despite its significant implications for public health and individual decision-making, research on information avoidance remains limited. In this study, we applied and extended the model of planned risk information avoidance (PRIA) to examine how sociocultural, cognitive, and affective factors shape online health information avoidance (OHIA). Using a three-wave longitudinal online survey, we found that risk perception, attitude toward information avoidance, and eHealth literacy at Time 1...
