Others have raised doubts about the feasibility and desirability of adopting the example of the natural sciences when standardizing constructs in the social sciences.
Table 1 provides the items used in the final model, standardized factor loadings, construct reliabilities, average variance extracted (AVE) (Fornell and Larcker 1981), and Cronbach's alpha coefficients.
Transformations between each bone's 3D position and anatomical axes were determined from the CT-based bone models using custom software (based on Open Inventor 5.0, Mercury Computer Systems, Chelmsford, Mass, USA) that was developed to locate specific anatomical landmarks and construct standardized anatomical coordinate systems (Figure 1) [17].
We then applied COMBINER to the "time standardized" data to construct a blood-brain network (common modules co-expressed in blood and seven brain regions, Figure 2) and a brain-brain network (common modules co-expressed in six brain regions, Figure 3).
Acknowledging the main constraints to accessing and using detailed, classified and disaggregated quantitative information on various HRH aspects, researchers from different LAC countries have launched a joint effort to construct standardized metrics permitting the systematization, comparison and analysis of data to support national and regional policy proposals on specific HRH topics.
Spatial analyses of soil properties in each village were assessed by constructing standardized isotropic semivariograms, which were usually well described by spherical models.
Semivariograms of all properties were constructed, standardized, and compared to estimate the spatial variability of the soil properties in the area.
In constructing standardized prices we eliminate all of these geographic-based payment differences so that, for instance, a given service provided in New York City will receive the same standardized cost as one provided in rural Kansas, where wages and other input prices are generally less expensive.
In order to conduct a comparative review, it is necessary to standardize the constructs used across all studies.
Finally, he wanted to do away with the provincial differentiation in the taxation, and construct a nationally standardized system.
