An overview of reviews of conservation flagships: evaluating fundraising ability and surrogate power by Piia Lundberg, Anni Arponen

“…Nonetheless, funds raised through flagship species are often used to protect the species itself, making it important to evaluate the effectiveness of flagship species as conservation tools: For example, could superior fundraising ability outweigh the low biodiversity surrogate power of a flagship, justifying this ambivalent role in conservation? …”

A surrogate assay for measuring Coxsackievirus A6 neutralizing antibodies by Yao Su, Pan Chen, Fan Gao, Lianlian Bian, Shiyang Sun, Fangyu Dong, Yalin Hu, Qunying Mao, Wei Jiang, Xing Wu, Zhenglun Liang

“…Statistical analysis revealed that PVLA and CPE were highly correlated (spearman r = 0.931, P < 0.0001) and in good agreement (94.0%, 95% CI between 90.8–96.4%), showing that PVLA could be used as a surrogate assay for anti-CV-A6 NtAb detection and served as a valuable tool for CV-A6 vaccine evaluation and CV-A6 epidemiological surveillance.…”

The Use of Superspheroids as Surrogates for Modeling Electromagnetic Wave Scattering by Ice Crystals by Lan-Hui Sun, Lei Bi, Bingqi Yi

“…Corresponding to realistic ice crystals, suitable superspheroid models with the same <i>SI</i> (that means, identical volume and average projected area) and aspect ratio can be identified as surrogates for optical property calculations. We systematically compared the optical properties of ice crystals and superspheroids at 33 microwave bands in the range of 3–640 GHz and at three representative visible or infrared wavelengths (0.66, 2.13, and 11 μm). …”

Evaluation of Airplane Boarding/Deboarding Strategies: A Surrogate Experimental Test by Shengjie Qiang, Bin Jia, Qingxia Huang

“…The main contribution of our work is that we evaluate seven boarding strategies and two structured deboarding strategies by using a surrogate experimental test. Instead of boarding a real or mocked airplane, we carried out the experiment by organizing 40 participants to board a school bus with ten rows of four seats, symmetrically distributed on a single, central aisle. …”
