متن کاملMeasurement and Modelling of the Rubber Resilience based on Ultrasonic Non-destructive Testing in Tires
In tire industry, it is very crucial to evaluate physical and mechanical properties of the rubber which is used for production of the tire, to ensure the quality of the final product. Resilience is an important property of a rubber, which cannot be evaluated through direct measurement in production cycle in this industry. Therefore, non-destructive ultrasonic testing, which has been used in man...
متن کاملEvaluating Sensitivity of Parameters of Interest to Measurement Invariance in Latent Variable Models
Latent variable models are common in the social sciences to measure ideal points of U.S. Senators, countries’ “level of democracy” or the relationships between latent attitudes and values across countries, for instance. Because differences in measurement parameters can be confounded with substantively interesting differences, measurement invariance or “equivalence” is a prerequisite for cross-g...
متن کاملTesting measurement invariance across groups : Applications in cross - cultural research
Researchers often compare groups of individuals on psychological variables. When comparing groups an assumption is made that the instrument measures the same psychological construct in all groups. If this assumption holds, the comparisons are valid and differences/similarities between groups can be meaningfully interpreted. If this assumption does not hold, comparisons and interpretations are n...
متن کاملAssessment and Monitoring for Railway Tracks Reliability and Safety using Nondestructive Testing Measurement Systems
The deterioration of railway tracks raises great concerns about the integrity of assessments and evaluations of railway tracks currently in service. Integrated inspection strategies coupled with innovations in inspection technology can lead to significant improvements in operational cost efficiency and reliability without the requirement of a fundamental shift in the existing understanding o...
