Use of subject scores as manifest variables to assess the relationship between latent variables produces attenuated estimates. This has been demonstrated for raw scores from classical test theory (CTT) and factor scores ...

Identifying which ecosystem services are relevant to different stakeholders and understanding stakeholders’ perceptions of such services is useful for making informed decisions, especially in regions of the world where the ...

The equilibrium geometries and thermodynamic properties of anion vacancies in cadmium telluride, as predicted by density functional theory, are revisited using semilocal and hybrid density functionals. We find that stable ...

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of enamel development disorders that alter the structure and chemical composition of the tissue. There is great variability in the clinical presentation; according to Witkop, AI can ...

This paper addresses the asymptotic behavior of a particular type of information-plus-noise-type matrices, where the column and row numbers of the matrices are large and of the same order, while signals have diverged and ...

We obtain a closed-form formula for the quasi-stationary distribution of the classical Shiryaev martingale diffusion considered on the positive half-line [A, +∞) withA>0 fixed; the state space’s left endpoint is assumed ...

An efficient method has been developed for the multiresidue and multiclass determination of 16 emerging contaminants (parabens, hormones, anti-inflammatory drugs, triclosan and bisphenol A) in water samples using rotating-disk ...

The aim was to assess dual- versus single-task training for motor performance and cognitive performance in adolescents. Two experiments were performed. In the first, 30 adolescents were randomized to three groups to determine ...
