The increasing use of technology in health care and health professions education is an invitation to examine how digital sources of evidence are used in making assessment claims. In this paper, we describe how four sets of terms-primary and secondary data; structured and unstructured data; development and use; and deterministic and generative-can aid in examining how data from digital sources are used in evaluating what learners know and can do. Drawing on multiple examples, this paper shows how the four sets of terms can help both developers and users of technology-based assessment systems.

The lack of cost-effective nutrient sources and harvesting methods is currently a major obstacle to the production of sustainable biofuels from microalgae. In this study, Chlorella pyrenoidosa was cultured with saline wastewater in a stirred photobioreactor, and lipid-rich flocculent microalgae particles were successfully constructed. As the influent salinity of the photobioreactor increased from 0% to 3%, the particle size and sedimentation rate of flocculent microalgae particles gradually increased, and the lipid accumulation of microalgae also increased gradually.

Background: Young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men have been referred to as a "hard-to-reach" or "hidden" community in terms of recruiting for research studies. With widespread internet use among this group and young adults in general, web-based avenues represent an important approach for reaching and recruiting members of this community. However, little is known about how participants recruited from various web-based sources may differ from one another.

Importance: Digital health in biomedical research and its expanding list of potential clinical applications are rapidly evolving. A combination of new digital health technologies (DHTs), novel uses of existing DHTs through artificial intelligence- and machine learning-based algorithms, and improved integration and analysis of data from multiple sources has enabled broader use and delivery of these tools for research and health care purposes. The aim of this study was to assess the growth and overall trajectory of DHT funding through a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-wide grant portfolio analysis.

In recent years, there has been a concerted effort to objectively quantify these changes using the latest advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools. Much academic research has been conducted to evaluate how these speech characteristics change with the course of illness, but they have yet to be elevated beyond exploratory endpoints in trials.
