The present study tested the factorial validity of the 9-item Bergen Burnout Inventory (BBI-9). The BBI-9 is comprised of three core dimensions: (1) exhaustion at work; (2) cynicism toward the meaning of work; and (3) sense of inadequacy at work. The study further investigated whether the three-factor structure of the BBI-9 remains the same across different organizations (group invariance) and ...

This paper is concerned with the problem of classifying tuples natural numbers a1,…,aK and b1,…,bL such that ratio factorials ∏i=1K(ain)!∕∏j=1L(bjn)! an integer for all n. A complete solution to this only known in case L−K=1, due work Bober building on observation Rodriguez Villegas, which relies Beukers–Heckman classification algebraic hypergeometric functions. We provide alternative proof res...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to develop a new model, the Allocation and Interaction Model (AIM), to better predict human total energy expenditure (TEE) among a group of highly active humans living in a variety of natural environments. AIM estimates were tested to determine if it produces more accurate TEE predictions than the Factorial Method. METHODS AIM includes metabolic cost te...

The effect of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique on working memory and field independence was investigated in a twelve-week longitudinal time-series study in which the uMatch Me" computerized memory game and the Rod and Frame Test were administered daily to a matched pair of 11-year-old boys and a matched pair of 14-year-old girls. One of the boys and one of the girls began the TM tec...

BACKGROUND Network meta-analysis can be used to combine results from several randomized trials involving more than two treatments. Potential inconsistency among different types of trial (designs) differing in the set of treatments tested is a major challenge, and application of procedures for detecting and locating inconsistency in trial networks is a key step in the conduct of such analyses. ...

Increasing numbers of economic evaluations are conducted alongside randomised controlled trials. Such studies include factorial trials, which randomise patients to different levels of two or more factors and can therefore evaluate the effect of multiple treatments alone and in combination. Factorial trials can provide increased statistical power or assess interactions between treatments, but ra...

BACKGROUND Reliable predictions of regional-scale population connectivity are needed to prioritize conservation actions. However, there have been few examples of regional connectivity models that are empirically derived and validated. The central goals of this paper were to (1) evaluate the effectiveness of factorial least cost path corridor mapping on an empirical resistance surface in reflect...

BACKGROUND The 2 × 2 factorial design is widely used for assessing the existence of interaction and the extent of generalizability of two factors where each factor had only two levels. Accordingly, research problems associated with the main effects and interaction effects can be analyzed with the selected linear contrasts. METHODS To correct for the potential heterogeneity of variance structu...
