This study assessed the dimensionality of the Empathy Quotient (EQ) using two statistical approaches: Rasch and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Participants included N = 658 with an autism spectrum condition diagnosis (ASC), N = 1375 family members of this group, and N = 3344 typical controls. Data were applied to the Rasch model (Rating Scale) using WINSTEPS. The Rasch model explained 83% ...

Owing to the anisotropy of the optical and electronic properties of layered materials, the photocurrent density (or the quantum efficiency) delivered by a lamellar semiconductor/electrolyte junction is dependent upon both the angle of incidence and the angle of polarization of the incoming light beam with respect to the crystallographic axis of the electrode. This dependence is analytically des...

2014 The specular intensity produced by the scattering of monoenergetic incident particles by a flat surface is calculated as a function of the crystal temperature including one and two virtual phonon processes. The exact procedure developed previously [1, 2] is employed in order to get the matrix elements of the seven different two phonon diagrams. For all the different systems studied (He-Cu,...

A method for the identification of three ixodid tick species; the cow tick (Boophilus annulatus), the camel tick (Hyalomma dromedarii) and the cattle tick (Hyalomma anatolicum excavatum) based on restriction enzyme analysis of the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2) in the nuclear ribosomal DNA was adopted. PCR products with MW 1375 bp, 1650 bp and 1835 bp from B. annulatus, H. dromedari...
