ABC of Content Validation and Content Validity Index Calculation
There are five sources of validity evidence that are content, response process, internal structure, relation to other variables, and consequences. Content validity is the extent of a measurement tool represents the measured construct and it is considered

Observing the Structure of the Landscape with the CMB Experiments [PDF]
Assuming that inflation happened through a series of tunneling in the string theory landscape, it is argued that one can determine the structure of vacua using precise measurements of the scalar spectral index and tensor perturbations at large scales. It

Near-Zero-Refractive-Index Structure at Optical Frequencies
We have used a new class of left-handed materials, which uses 3D nanospheres distributed in loops in the dielectric host material. These 3D nanospheres loops give rise to negative effective permeability and permeability at Terahertz (optical) frequencies.

Distance, dissimilarity index, and network community structure
We address the question of finding the community structure of a complex network. In an earlier effort [H. Zhou, {\em Phys. Rev. E} (2003)], the concept of network random walking is introduced and a distance measure defined.

Scaling of the irreducible SO(3)-invariants of velocity correlations in turbulence [PDF]
The scaling behavior of the SO(3) irreducible amplitudes $d_n^l(r)$ of velocity structure tensors (see L'vov, Podivilov, and Procaccia, Phys. Rev. Lett. (1997)) is numerically examined for Navier-Stokes turbulence.

Adaptive Index Structures [PDF]
Traditional indexes aim at optimizing the node accesses during query processing, which, however, does not necessarily minimize the total cost due to the possibly large number of random accesses. In this paper, we propose a general framework for adaptive indexes that improve overall query cost. The performance gain is achieved by allowing index nodes to

High-reflectivity broadband distributed Bragg reflector lattice matched to ZnTe
We report on the realization of a high quality distributed Bragg reflector with both high and low refractive index layers lattice matched to ZnTe. Our structure is grown by molecular beam epitaxy and is based on binary compounds only. The high refractive

Indexing the Earth Mover's Distance Using Normal Distributions [PDF]
Querying uncertain data sets (represented as probability distributions) presents many challenges due to the large amount of data involved and the difficulties comparing uncertainty between distributions.

ABSTRACT Introduction We developed MedSupport, a multilevel medication adherence intervention designed to address root barriers to medication adherence. This study sought to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MedSupport intervention strategies to support a future fullāscale randomized controlled trial.

IP-Dip-Based SPR Structure for Refractive Index Sensing of Liquid Analytes
In this paper, we present a two-dimensional surface plasmon resonance structure for refractive index sensing of liquid analytes. The polymer structure was designed with a period of 500 nm and prepared in a novel IP-Dip polymer by direct laser writing ...
