Identification of Best Modeled Test Items
… trait models have tremendous power for solving practical measurement problems. This power is realized, however, only when the models adequately characterize observations. Accordingly, a large number of procedures have been proposed to evaluate model goodness of fit. None of these procedures, …

Empirical investigation of three selected self-disclosure measures, and some theoretical and methodological considerations for self-disclosure research
… in the research at coordinating theoretical and practical (measurement) aspects (the importance of which is stressed by Fiske & Pearson, 1970), problems have arisen, the most serious of which is the fact that the test constructors in this field always assume their instruments to measure the …

Model-based optimisation approaches for system energy performance improvement and evaluation
… are developed and then applied in these practical energy problems.;This thesis presents my contributions on modelling methodologies for energy performance optimisation, applications of these modelling methods in industrial energy systems, power generation dispatch, PV array fault …

Nanoelectronic and nanomechanical devices for low temperature applications
… bulk and surface fluid properties. We developed practical measurement techniques and analysis methods to demonstrate the use of nanomechanical resonators, which for the first time were used to probe both the normal and the superfluid phases of helium-4. The doubly clamped beams had a cross …

Development of a Deflection Measurement System for the Hybrid III Six-Year Old Biofidelic Abdomen
… III 6-year-old, needs improvement. Further, measurement of abdominal deflection is needed for quantification of the degree of submarining and associated potential injury risk. A biofidelic abdomen for the Hybrid III 6-year-old dummy is being developed by the Ford Motor Company. A practical …

Content-aware radio resource management for IMT-advanced systems
… approach were investigated and compared with practical measurement results in which PodNode technology, besides other components and supporting simulation software, were used to emulate the LTE communication system. The first emulation experiment involving the baseline model was generally in …

Effects of a Green Chemistry Laboratory Design on First- Semester General Chemistry Students' Transformative Experiences in Chemistry
<p>The purpose of this study was to understand if a green chemistry laboratory design facilitated students’ transformative experiences in a first-semester general chemistry course for science majors. The study population consisted of 18 college students enrolled in the course at a small, rural, …
