The italian version of the Alexithymia Questionnaire for Children (AQC). Factor structure and reliability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The aims of the study were to investigate factor structure and reliability of the Alexithymia Questionnaire for Children (AQC), originally validated by Rieffe et al. (2006), on an Italian population.

Existence of invariant measures of stochastic systems with delay in the highest order partial derivatives [PDF]

open access: yesStatistics & Probability Letters, 2014
In this note, we shall consider the existence of invariant measures for a class of infinite dimensional stochastic functional differential equations with delay whose driving semigroup is eventually norm continuous. The results obtained are applied to stochastic heat equations with distributed delays which appear in such terms having the highest order ...

Elinvar Materials: Recent Progress and Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Elinvar materials, exhibiting temperature‐invariant elastic modulus, are critical for precision instruments and emerging technologies. This article reviews recent progress in the field, with a focus on the anomalous thermoelastic behavior observed in key material systems.

UTILITY FUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED TO RELATIVELY INVARIANT MEASURES ON PARTIALLY ORDERED LOCALLY COMPACT GROUPS

open access: yesDemonstratio Mathematica, 2002
Summary: Let \(G\) be a locally compact topological group (abelian or not) endowed with a left Haar measure and a left translation-invariant and strongly continuous strict partial ordering \(\prec\). We consider a positive finite measure \(\nu\) on \(G\), such that this order is \(\nu\)-separable.

Removing Oxide Layers and Retaining Oxide‐Free Steel Surfaces by Polishing in Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, the efficacy of wet mechanical polishing under an oxygen‐free atmosphere for deoxidation and the retention of an oxide‐free steel surface are elucidated using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The methodology proved successful; however, the results were highly dependent on the preparation of the solvents used to clean the samples after ...

Two-Method Planned Missing Designs for Longitudinal Research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We examine longitudinal extensions of the two-method measurement design, which uses planned missingness to optimize cost-efficiency and validity of hard-to-measure constructs.

Assessing the measurement invariance of Free Will and Determinism Plus scale across four languages: a registered report

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
Free will is assumed to be the core of an individual’s self-concept. Belief in free will has been studied extensively and was found to be correlated with many behavioural and psychological outcomes.

Facing off with Scylla and Charybdis: a comparison of scalar, partial, and the novel possibility of approximate measurement invariance [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
Measurement invariance (MI) is a pre-requisite for comparing latent variable scores across groups. The current paper introduces the concept of approximate MI building on the work of Muthén and Asparouhov and their application of Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling (BSEM) in the software Mplus. They showed that with BSEM exact zeros constraints can be

NanoMOF‐Based Multilevel Anti‐Counterfeiting by a Combination of Visible and Invisible Photoluminescence and Conductivity

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents novel anti‐counterfeiting tags with multilevel security features that utilize additional disguise features. They combine luminescent nanosized Ln‐MOFs with conductive polymers to multifunctional mixed‐matrix membranes and powder composites. The materials exhibit visible/NIR emission and matrix‐based conductivity even as black bodies.
