I this research, we investigate the behavior of Cronbach’s coefficient alpha and its new standard error. We systematically analyze the effects of sample size, scale length, strength of item intercorrelations, and scale dimensionality. We demonstrate the beneficial effects of sample size on alpha’s standard error and of scale length and the strengths of item intercorrelations (effects that are s...

The radiological evaluation of the anterolateral femoral head is an essential tool for the assessment of the cam type of femoroacetabular impingement. CT, MRI and frog lateral plain radiographs have all been suggested as imaging options for this type of lesion. The alpha angle is accepted as a reliable indicator of the cam type of impingement and may also be used as an assessment for the succes...

There is growing evidence that TNF-alpha and its two receptors play an important role in hormonal regulation, metabolism, inflammation and cancer. The biological effects of TNF-alpha are mediated by two receptors, p55 and p75. The aim of this study was to analyze serum concentrations of p55 and p75 and hormonal status in healthy women during the normal menstrual cycle. Eight women aged 20-22 wi...

We propose a method to extract from experimental data the subdiffusion parameter alpha and subdiffusion coefficient D(alpha) which are defined by means of the relation x(2) = [2 D(alpha) /Gamma (1+alpha) ] t(alpha) where x(2) denotes the mean-square displacement of a random walker starting from x=0 at the initial time t=0 . The method exploits a membrane system where a substance of interest is ...

the increasing trend in agricultural wastes is one of the most important challenging problems in most countries, especially the developing ones. policymakers and researchers being on the alert, do their best to reduce these wastes. the main purpose followed in this study, done in 2007, was to investigate the factors affecting the level of wastes of apple in zanjan province, iran. the study popu...

OBJECTIVES Our study discusses health related quality of life (HRQOL) as measured by 36-item Short Form (SF-36) for rural-to-urban migrants in China, and assesses the validity and reliability of the SF-36 for this group. METHODS In 2012,765 rural-to-urban migrant respondents chosen by probability and the non-probability sampling methods have completed the survey in Wuhan, Mid-China. The relia...

PURPOSE Diabetes is a great risk factor for dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This study investigates whether complex network-derived features in resting state EEG (rsEEG) could be applied as a biomarker to distinguish amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) from normal cognitive function in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHOD In this study, EEG was recorded in 28 patien...
