For structural equation models, a huge variety of fit indices has been developed. These indices, however, can point to conflicting conclusions about the extent to which a model actually matches the observed data. The pre...

Two Monte Carlo studies were conducted to examine the sensitivity of goodness of fit indexes to lack of measurement invariance at 3 commonly tested levels: factor loadings, intercepts, and residual variances. Standardize...

This paper addresses two very important, but usually neglected, aspects of Argentina's federal revenue-sharing system. The first aspect refers to the horizontal tensions present -in addition to the traditional vertical o...

En la presente nota se analizan aspectos conceptuales sobre la medición de la "presión tributaria sectorial", específicamente referida al tratamiento metodológico del Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA) y las Retencione...

Summary The use of both linear and generalized linear mixed‐effects models ( LMM s and GLMM s) has become popular not only in social and medical sciences, but also in biological sciences, especially in the field of eco...

The objective of this paper was to develop a high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection both for chromatographic fingerprint and simultaneous determination of twelve analytes of Shuang-Huang-Lian (...

There s some very important meaning in the study of realtime face recognition and tracking system for the video monitoring and artifical vision. The current method is still very susceptible to the illumination condition,...

In 21st century, convergences of technologies and services in heterogeneous environment have contributed multi-traffic. This scenario will affect computer network on learning system in higher educational Institutes. Impl...

We present cosmological parameter results from the final full-mission Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, combining information from the temperature and polarization maps and the le...

Background Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is one of the most common mental disorders; however, there is no brief clinical measure for assessing GAD. The objective of this study was to develop a brief self-report scal...

It has long been recognized that personality test scores are influenced by non-test-relevant response determinants. Wiggins and Rumrill (1959) distinguish three approaches to this problem. Briefly, interest in the proble...

ABSTRACT We use data on ownership structures of large corporations in 27 wealthy economies to identify the ultimate controlling shareholders of these firms. We find that, except in economies with very good shareholder pr...

In this paper, we propose an efficient diagnosis scheme to detect and locate the switching network defects/faults in reconfigurable array architecture. This diagnosis scheme performs the test of switching network based o...

System survivability is the ability to give service in spite of failures of some of the components. To assure survivability is an important goal when designing a communications network backbone, to ensure that it can res...

This paper presents a simple model of debt contracts in order to analyze the conditions under which domestic residents would choose to denominate debts in "dollars". In the model, borrowers are producers of non-traded go...

Multiwavelets are new addition to the body of wavelet theory. There are many types of symmetric multiwavelets such as Geronimo-Hardin-Massopust (GHM) and Chui-Lian (CL) multiwavelets. However, the matrix filter generatin...

This paper imports the fuzzy logic into image retrieval to deal with the vagueness and ambiguity of human judgment of image similarity. Our retrieval system has the following properties: firstly adopting the fuzzy langua...

In this paper the problem of “Dual Sales Taxation in a Federal Country” is discussed; and, particularly, “Sub-national VAT versus Provincial Retail Sales Tax” in “Federal/Provincial Sales Tax Coordination”, e...

The paper provides evidence on what affects at the margin the cost and availability of bank credit for firms in Argentina. We study in particular how banks use different pieces of private and public information to screen...

In this work, we present an integral scheduling system for non-dedicated clusters, termed CISNE-P, which ensures the performance required by the local applications, while simultaneously allocating cluster resources to pa...

The metric spaces model formalizes the similarity search concept in nontraditional databases. The goal is to build an index designed to save distance computations when answering similarity queries later. A large class of...

Complex control tasks may be solved by dividing them into a more specific and more easily handled subtasks hierarchy. Several authors have demonstrated that the incremental layered evolution paradigm allows obtaining con...

The studies of Relational Data Base Management Systems and Databases constitute nowadays a main tren of investigation in large businesses and universities of the entire world. The creation of a data base engine keeps bei...
