Orthogonal higher-order factor structure of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales-Fifth Edition (SB-5; Roid, 2003a) for child and adolescent samples is reported. Multiple criteria for factor extraction unanimously supported extraction of only one dimension and a unidimensional model. However, following results from DiStefano and Dombrowski (2006) and theoretical consideration, two factors were...

This document describes in detail how reformulation to a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) can be made in order to analyze the multiplier effects of a new sector. A different input composition, or technology, of the sector makes a conventional analysis of final-demand injections on existing sectors invalid. We show that the reformulation—so-called hypothetical integration—is an efficient way to in...

in this paper, an intelligent control strategy based on combination of the “flatness based control technique” and the “perturbation and observation (p&o;) mppt algorithm” is developed and investigated to control a hybrid electric energy source (heps). this ehps is composed of a fuel cell system (fc) and a solar panel (sp), as the main source and a supercapacitor bank (sc), as the auxiliary sour...

abstract. in this paper we study some relations between the power andquotient power graph of a finite group. these interesting relations motivateus to find some graph theoretical properties of the quotient power graphand the proper quotient power graph of a finite group g. in addition, weclassify those groups whose quotient (proper quotient) power graphs areisomorphic to trees or paths.

let a be a unital algebra over a field of characteristic zero. we show that every derivation from( ) n m a into its dual ( ) n m a ∗ is the sum of an inner derivation and a derivation induced by a derivationfrom a into a∗

In this paper we present algebraic constructions of 3×3, 4× 4 and 6 × 6 Space-Time Codes, achieving full rate and full diversity. These codes have non-vanishing (in fact fixed) minimum determinants when the rate goes to infinity. Their construction is based on cyclic algebras with center equal to an algebraic field based on cyclotomic fields .
