A comparison of two scaling procedures in paired-comparison experiments involving ties
… of the Thurstone-Mosteller method of paired comparisons makes possible the analysis of data involving tied observations. The modification includes the postulating of an angular response law such that the response proportions are scaled with arc sine transforms instead of with normal deviates. …

Coaching versus psychotherapy : a comparison
The aim of this study was to examine, compare and contrast the practices of coaching and psychotherapy as they are practiced today, in order to reveal possible overlapping and differentiating factors. To the author’s best knowledge, this is the first study of its kind and the first study to compare …

A comparison of password techniques
A widely used access control mechanism is the password. Passwords are normally composed of a meaningful detail, such as a name of a person or a sequence of numbers such as birthdate. Any person attempting to gain unauthorized access to a system might need only to look at a personnel record or …

A comparison of leisure theorists
<p>Social scientists express growing concern about man's capacity to achieve a state of existence greater than that of mere survival. "Popularizers" and writers of "social criticism" echo this concern. Obviously, because of scientific and technological changes, man's participation is needed less …

Quantum optical state comparison amplification
… Our method is based on coherent state comparison and photon subtraction. We found that for an input chosen at random from a binary set of states, under certain circumstances the fidelity can reach 100%. The probability of success is very high (~ 10 - 40%) and it increases with gain. We …

Comparison of Trend Detection Methods
Trend estimation is important in many fields, though arguably the most important applications appear in ecology. Trend is difficult to quantify; in fact, the term itself is not well-defined. Often, trend is quantified by estimating the slope coefficient in a regression model where the response …

Comparison of nonlinear filtering techniques
… the feedback particle filter (FPF). Two types of comparisons are discussed: i) with the extended Kalman filter, and ii) with the conventional resampling-based particle filters. The comparison with Kalman filter is used to highlight the feedback structure of the FPF. Also computational cost …

Comparison of Anthropometric Measures of Competitive Bodybuilders to Judges' Scores and a Comparison of Judges' Scores
This research compared physical characteristics of bodybuilders to judges' rankings, and compared the judges' rankings across three levels of judges: Elite, Trained, and Untrained. Twenty-nine male and nine female bodybuilding athletes consented to anthropometric and circumference measurements. The …

Field comparison of groundwater sampling methods
… help to alleviate these problems. In this field comparison study, the performances of seven ground-water sampling devices, including two in situ sampling systems, were evaluated to determine if these devices would yield accurate, precise, and representative data. The sampling devices included a …

Biomechanical Comparison of Lumbar Disc Replacements
… upon differing perceptions of ideal motion. Comparison studies are important in quantifying different features for future improvements but are currently lacking. The objective of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of three currently available treatments: disc replacement …
