Conversion of Verbal Response Scales: Robustness Across Demographic Categories
Happiness and life satisfaction have traditionally been measured using verbal response scales, however, these verbal scales have not kept up with the present trend to use numerical response scales. A switch from a verbal scale to a numerical scale, however, causes a severe problem for trend analyses, due to the incomparability of the old and new measurements. The Reference Distribution Method i...
متن کاملConversion of ordinal attitudinal scales : an inferential Bayesian approach
The need for scale conversion may arise whenever an attitude of individuals is measured by independent entrepreneurs each using an ordinal scale of its own with possibly different numbers of (arbitrary) ordinal categories. Such situations are quite common in the marketing realm. The conversion of a score of an individual measured on one scale into an estimated score of a similar scale with a di...
متن کاملRadiation-induced high-temperature conversion of cellulose.
Thermal decomposition of cellulose can be upgraded by means of an electron-beam irradiation to produce valuable organic products via chain mechanisms. The samples being irradiated decompose effectively at temperatures below the threshold of pyrolysis inception. Cellulose decomposition resembles local "explosion" of the glucopyranose unit when fast elimination of carbon dioxide and water precede...
متن کاملMeasuring temperature gradients over nanometer length scales.
When a quantum dot is subjected to a thermal gradient, the temperature of electrons entering the dot can be determined from the dot's thermocurrent if the conductance spectrum and background temperature are known. We demonstrate this technique by measuring the temperature difference across a 15 nm quantum dot embedded in a nanowire. This technique can be used when the dot's energy states are se...
متن کاملTime scales for fission at finite temperature
The concept of the ”transient effect” is examined in respect of a ”mean first passage time”. It is demonstrated that the time the fissioning system stays inside the barrier is much larger than suggested by the transient time, and that no enhancement of emission of neutrons over that given by Kramers’ rate formula ought to be considered.
