Partial Least Squares (PLS) is a statistical technique that is widely used in the Partial Least Squares (PLS) is a popular technique for estimating structural equation models with latent variables. It is frequently perceived as an alternative to covariance analysis of such models. While its proponents recognize the shortcomings of PLS for testing explanatory models in comparison to covariance m...

Redesign of Introductory Course in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Stavanger University College

This paper discuss the process involved in redesigning the curriculum in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Stavanger University College in Norway. The paper discuss briefly how the college preparation in Norway has changed in the past 25 years in Norway pointing us to revise our curriculum in a non-evolutionary way. In our case we are as a first step totaly revising our intr...

Approximations can aim at having close to optimal value or, alternatively, they can aim at structurally resembling an optimal solution. Whereas value-approximation has been extensively studied by complexity theorists over the last three decades, structural-approximation has not yet been defined, let alone studied. However, structural-approximation is theoretically no less interesting, and has i...
