Omdat er weinig bekend was omtrent de verschillen met betrekking tot persoonlijkheid en leerstijlkenmerken tussen HBO-starters met een MBO- en een VO-achtergrond, zijn als onderdeel van het opleidingsprogramma 2003/2004 daarop betrekking hebbende vragenlijsten afgenomen bij 3.226 eerstejaars voltijd …

In het eerste deel van de tekst wordt het thema verkend: er bestaan veel verschillende, vaak karikaturale, beelden van onderwijsvernieuwing en veranderingsbekwaamheid van leraren, die een weerspiegeling zijn van de wijze waarop er wordt aangekeken tegen vernieuwingsprocessen in scholen en de rol van …

The analysis of regulatory regions in genome sequences is strongly based on the detection of potential transcription factor binding sites. The preferred models for representation of transcription factor binding specificity have been termed position-specific scoring matrices. JASPAR is an open-access …

Increasingly, education is delivered through computers and the internet. This article highlights that while such development is beneficial for some students with functional impairments, it might be excluding others if insufficient attention is paid to accessibility. Both the electronic learning environment …

A construction method is given for all factors that satisfy the assumptions of the model for factor analysis, including partially determined factors where certain error variances are zero. Various criteria for the seriousness of indeterminacy are related. It is shown that B. F. Green's (1976) conjecture …

The subject of factor indeterminacy has a vast history in factor analysis (Guttman, 1955; Lederman, 1938; Wilson, 1928). It has lead to strong differences in opinion (Steiger, 1979). The current paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for observability of factors in terms of the parameter matrices …

Slides showing nurses in different working postures were used to determine the reliability of OWAS observations. Each slide could be looked at for 3 seconds, while a new slide was shown every 30 seconds to resemble the normal practice of observation. Two observers twice scored a series of slides, some …

A burden scale is described that is conceptually specific by concentrating on an assessment of different aspects of distress of care-giving burden and conceptually sensitive by distinguishing two dimensions: the relationship of the carer and the care-receiver and the limitations in the personal life …

The synthesis of total cellular proteins in Escherichia coli K12 was studied in batch culture following exposure of cells to low concentrations of monochlorophenol, pentachlorophenol and cadmium chloride. Changes in protein patterns were identified after pulse-chase labelling of proteins with [35S]methionine …

The CANDECOMP algorithm for the PARAFAC analysis of n × m × p three-way arrays is adapted to handle arrays in which n > rnp more efficiently. For such arrays, the adapted algorithm needs less memory space to store the data during the iterations, and uses less com- putation time than the original CANDECOMP …
