Measuring Growth with Vertical Scales
A vertical score scale is needed to measure growth across multiple tests in terms of absolute changes in magnitude. Since the warrant for subsequent growth interpretations depends upon the assumption that the scale has interval properties, the validation of a vertical scale would seem to require methods for distinguishing interval from ordinal. In taking up this issue, two different perspective...
متن کاملHorizontal versus vertical plate motions
We review both present and past motions at major plate boundaries, which have the horizontal component in average 10 to 100 times faster (10–100 mm/yr) than the vertical component (0.01–1 mm/yr) in all geodynamic settings. The steady faster horizontal velocity of the lithosphere with respect to the upward or downward velocities at plate 5 boundaries supports dominating tangential forces acting ...
متن کاملAveraged residence times of stochastic motions in bounded domains
– Last year, Blanco and Fournier (Blanco S. and Fournier R., Europhys. Lett. 2003) calculated the mean first exit time of a domain of a particle undergoing a randomly reoriented ballistic motion which starts from the boundary. They showed that it is simply related to the ratio of the volume’s domain over its surface. This work was extended by Mazzolo (Mazzolo A., Europhys. Lett. 2004) who studi...

متن کاملAn Analysis of Kinematic Vertical Motions
Several techniques exist for computing vertical motions. In this paper, radiosonde wind observations are used to compute vertical motions by the kinematic method. The presence of cumulative bias errors necessitates adjustment techniques. Simple tests of two techniques indicate that, for the period of this study, a divergence adjustment that is a function of pressure yields the best adjusted ver...
