Spatial locations of the isolates were transformed to represent two discrete states: the region of interest (Australia and New Zealand) and the rest of the world.
This much easier than retaining two discrete items in memory.
To calculate similarity among the items (s(i_j,i_k)) where (i_j) and (i_k) represent two different items, we use cosine similarity measure as shown in Eq. (1).
A slight problem with the analyses was that some reported components only represented two items, thus essentially representing the correlation between the two items.
The 20 items of the AQoL-6D represent six domains, characterised as independent living (4 items), relationships (3 items), mental health (4 items), coping (3 items), pain (3 items) and senses (3 items).
Using the concept of funds of knowledge as a framework (Hogg, 2011), 17 items were created to represent three areas of relevance for students: community and global (6 items), personal (5 items), and academic (5 items).
At each vehicle, these messages can be represented by two discrete-time M/G/1 queues [34] with different priorities.
That reduced the number of items from eleven to eight, representing two distinct constructs.
Along the line dividing items and participants, the letter M represents the mean item or person measure, S represents one standard deviation away from the mean, and T represents two standard deviations away from the mean.
The subscale anxiety problems, consisting of six items, represents three DSM-IV anxiety disorders: generalized anxiety disorder (three items), separation anxiety disorder (two items) and simple phobia (one item).
The refined ACT consists of 56 items reflecting the following eight contextual dimensions: culture (6 items), leadership (6 items), evaluation (6 items), social capital (6 items), informal interactions (7 items), formal interactions (5 items), structural and electronic resources (11 items), and organizational slack (9 items representing three sub-concepts - time, space, human resources).
