The purpose of this article is to review recent advanced applications of causal modeling methods in organizational and management research. Developments over the past 10 years involving research on measurement and structural components of causal models will be discussed. Specific topics to be addressed include reflective vs. formative measurement, multidimensional construct assessment, method v...

a bstract background:  one of the key strategies in students’ learning is the in fl uence of models on them. understanding the factors affecting the implementation of role-modeling process in education will help to make greater use of this training strategy. this study aimed to understand the experiences of role model instructors and nursing students about the facilitator factors in the role-mo...

The present contribution is dedicated to the computational modeling of growth phenomena typically encountered in modern biomechanical applications. We set the basis by critically reviewing the relevant literature and classifying the existing models. Next, we introduce a geometrically exact continuum model of growth which is not a priori restricted to applications in hard tissue biomechanics. Th...

Although researchers in many fields have long theorized about how the contributions of antecedents to outcomes might change across time, only recently have statistical tools necessary to examine such relationships become commonplace. In these situations the flexibility to simultaneously model ever smaller groups of observations both cross-sectionally (i.e., how the relative contribution of the ...

We have enhanced a computational tumor model developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). We have modified portions of the model in order to accommodate the inclusion of vasculature (a blood-vessel system). Other modifications were made which allow chemotherapy treatments which are not cell cycle specific to be simulated. We have worked to increase the efficiency of the model code, r...
