Response rates highest

The one-hit and linearized multi-stage models usually will predict the highest response rates and the probit model the lowest (Paustenbach, 1989a 1989b). 

The fitted models In Figure 3 reflect trade-offs both in the sense that the fitted models are shaped differently from the experimental data and In the sense that the fitted model response rates, relative to the observed rates, are too large at the lowest non-zero experimental dose level and too small at the Intermediate non-zero level. Furthermore, the need to accommodate the highest experimental dose forces the fitted... 

Mode of survey administration When the first comparative database report was released in 2007, most hospitals administered paper surveys (56 percent), followed by web (25 percent) and mixed mode (both paper and web -19 percent). By 2012, with rapidly advancing technology, web surveys became the predominant mode (66 percent), followed by paper (21 percent) and mixed mode (13 percent). The one caveat in this trend is that paper surveys still seem to get the highest response rates in US hospitals - on average at least 10 percentage points hi er than other modes. So if response rates are a concern and a hospital has the capabihty and resources to conduct a paper survey, it is still best to administer it by paper. But if costs are an issue, it can often be very eost-effective to administer a web snrvey. User s Guides, available for eaeh of the SOPS surveys on the AHRQ web site (www.ahrq.gov), contain tips and guidance on how best to administer the survey and present results. 

Illuminati and Marino reported an interesting example of the dependence of solvent effects on the position of the reacting center relative to the aza group. The rate constants for the reaction of 2- and 4-chloroquinoline with piperidine were compared in three different solvents, methanol, piperidine, and toluene. These data are reported in Table III. Three main points are apparent from these data (a) the different response of the two substrates to the action of the solvent, (b) the rates for 2-chloroquinoline in the three solvents tend to cluster around the highest reactivity level shown by 4-chloroquinoline in...
