Assessment of Method Effects of Keying and Wording in Instruments: A Mixed-Methods Explanatory Sequential Study
… an innovative approach to examining the keying method, wording method, and construct validity on psychometric instruments. By employing a mixed methods explanatory sequential design, the effects of keying and wording in two psychometric assessments were examined and validated. Those two …

A Study of Effects of Blood Types, Sires, Litter Size and Other Factors on Sex Ratios in Pigs
… ratios as well as by the least-squares method. Effects of sire, litter size and selection for high whole-body potassium per unit weight of boars on sex ratios were all considered. A total of 1,328 litters of pigs over seven generations in five breed classes (Duroc, Duroc selected, …

An analysis of shells by a framework analogy
… ribs. It is analyzed by the displacement method. Effects due to foundation settlement and temperature change are simulated by use of the analogous structure. For a given shell and all applied conditions there may be determined the deflections, secondary stresses, reactions, edge beam …

A psychometric investigation of group differences in mean and variability as measured by the Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices Plus
… in younger or older participants. Finally, method effects of Gestalt and Visuospatial answering strategies explained some of the residual variance in the model. For the overall sample, males were significantly disadvantaged by the visuospatial element of some of the items. For older …

Continuum Elasticity Modeling Of Nanostructure Evolution In Strained Film Epitaxy
… model based on the 2nd order perturbation method. Effects of wetting stress due to film-substrate interactions have been incorporated in the resulting nonlinear dynamic equation governing the film morphological profile. We study the formation and evolution of surface strained islands or …

Improvement of Carbon Dioxide EOR in Water-Wet Reservoirs by Using Active Carbonated Water
… these two diffusivities, an experimental method is proposed. In the experiment, two phases are placed in a closed diffusion cell immersed in a water bath at a constant temperature. To avoid natural convection, the water phase locates at the bottom and oil phase lies at the top. Combined …

Gene expression profiling in different stages of development of Arabidopsis thaliana leaftrichomes at the single cell level
… processes was confirmed by independent method. Effects of mutations in these genes on both trichome and plant development as well as on plant metabolism were analysed. As an outcome of this work novel components in the sophisticated machinery of trichome development and cell cycle …

Finite Deformations of Fiber-Reinforced Rubberlike Solids, and of Adhesively Bonded T-peel Joints
… laminate are derived using Ericksen's inverse method. Effects of fiber orientations on the mechanical behaviors of a +/-α angle-ply cylindrical tube are investigated using the derived analytical solutions. The T-peel test, widely used for characterizing adhesion across a plethora of adhesives, …
