Recent research has demonstrated that the network measure node strength or sum of a node’s connections is roughly equivalent to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) loadings. A key finding this represents combination different latent causes. In present research, we sought circumvent issue by formulating loadings, which call two simulations, evaluated whether these loadings could effectively (1) s...

The enigmatic placozoans, which hold a key position in the metazoan Tree of Life, have attracted substantial attention in many areas of biological and biomedical research. While placozoans have become an emerging model system, their ecology and particularly biogeography remain widely unknown. In this study, we use modelling approaches to explore habitat preferences, and distribution pattern of ...

Many academics, clinicians and lay readers of science incorrectly assume that vomeronasal processing is equivalent to pheromone processing. We review the abundant data concerning the roles of both the olfactory and the vomeronasal systems in the processing of both pheromones and other odorants, demonstrating that this "equivalency hypothesis" is untenable. This conclusion has important implicat...

Assessing the comparability of different groups is an issue facing many researchers and evaluators in a variety of settings. Commonly, null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is incorrectly used to demonstrate comparability when a non-significant result is found. This is problematic because a failure to find a difference between groups is not equivalent to showing that the groups are compar...

Men who were recently treated for prostate cancer (N=250) were randomly assigned to a control group, a group education intervention (GE), or a group education-plus-discussion intervention (GED). Both GE and GED increased prostate cancer knowledge. In the year postintervention, men in the GED condition were less bothered by sexual problems than men in the control condition, and they were more li...

In this paper we explore the labor market returns to the General Education Development exam, or GED, using data from the Current Population Survey. We examine how the return to the GED varies between U.S. natives and the foreign-born who received their formal education outside of the U.S. We find that the foreign-schooled with a GED earn significantly higher wages than both foreign-schooled dro...

The molecular structures of the three closo-carbaboranes, ortho-, meta- and para-C2B10H12, were experimentally determined using gas-phase electron diffraction (GED). All unique bond distances for ortho and meta carbaboranes were determined experimentally for the first time. For ortho-carbaborane (RG= 0.046), a model with C2v symmetry refined to give bond distances of 1.624(8) A for C-C, 1.093(8...

Mass energy absorption coefficients and effective atomic numbers for photon energy absorption, ZPEAeff have been calculated in the energy range from 1 keV to 20 MeV for human tissues, Adipose Tissue, Blood Whole, Bone Cortical, Brain Grey/White Matter, Breast Tissue, Eye Lens, Lung Tissue, Muscle Skeletal, Ovary, Testis, Soft Tissue. Mass energy absorption coefficients and effective atomic numb...

Two fundamental issues about the relation between the deformed Heisenberg-Weyl algebra in noncommutative space and the undeformed one in commutative space are elucidated. First the un-equivalency theorem between two algebras is proved: the deformed algebra related to the undeformed one by a non-orthogonal similarity transformation is explored; furthermore, non-existence of a unitary similarity ...

This report evaluates a vacuum-assisted walled percolation sampler preconditioned in soil, and examines the dynamic response of leachate solutes. The 20-cm walled percolation sampler extracted soil water under continuous tension via a ceramic cup collector embedded in a silica flour layer, whose upper surface interfaced with field soil. In the laboratory, alternating solutions with high and low...
