The content validity of the eight-dimension scale was examined using the three-tier methodology, including the content validity ratio (CVR) technique, based on the evaluations of selected experts in the field and factor analysis methodology. The results showed that 31 of the 32 items were ...
Future testing amongst existing research takes the approach of conducting BPS using XMY datasets [26] or running a multi-year simulation using real weather data [27] to account for the severity and frequency of more extreme weather events [28] and the expected annual variation in local ...
we also need a specific sample size calculation method for a specific research objective. Even if two research objectives may require a similar statistical analysis, the sample size might be different depending on the parameters that we use for the calculation. In this paper, we focus on the ob...
FIVE-FACTOR MODEL QUESTIONNAIRE ( FFMQ ): AN ADJECTIVAL-BASED PERSONALITY INVENTORY FOR USE IN OCCUPATIONAL SETTINGS 1 This study investigated Egyptian and American compliments using both qualitative and quantitative methodology. Extended interviews were conducted with 20 Egyptian and 20 American university ...
Cross-sectional methods were the main methodological limitations reported by other studies (e.g., Schlosser and McNaughton2009; Tombaugh et al.2011). Data collected under a cross-sectional study design contains the typical limitation associated with this type of research methodology, namely inability ...
Similar to other case studies, we find evidence that host susceptibility may in part be linked to phylogenetic relatedness. Encouragingly, only six of sixteen species evaluated were susceptible to attack. Our results provide new insights into methodology for evaluating scale insect dispersal and host ...
The research methodology included scale-model testing, data analysis, and comparison with other performance predicting methods. The investigation was conducted on a 1/6 scale model Danforth-style drag embedment anchor in cohesionless soil subjected to an in-plane impulse force. For all impulse forces...
Dilution of expertise in the rise and fall of collective innovation Article Open access 12 October 2022 Introduction People exhibit substantial creativity and variation in how they categorize novel and ambiguous phenomena1,2,3,4,5,6. This observation has led decades of research to argue that cate...
Moreover, senior personnel often have lead roles in the research process and may be involved in many research projects at the same time, resulting in more publications. In addition, the pattern may be partly explained by a pre-selection effect. In order to be promoted to a senior position,...
The main advantage of this methodology lies in its ability to robustly estimate the marginal measures of causation by isolating the main effect of one event on the other while accounting for all other dependent variables as confounders29. Figure 1 illustrates the directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) ...
