Verification of the proposed algorithms by using a research-scale bridge scouring test model to detect the damage occurrence and severity during scouring is presented.
This study aimed to investigate the latent constructs in the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale using a research context of Japanese undergraduates who learn English as a foreign language.
Some companies are beginning to pierce the fog using a research technique called "Maximum Difference Scaling". "MaxDiff" was pioneered in the early 1990s by Jordan Louviere, who is now a professor at the University of Technology, Sydney.
At that stage, research priorities selected by fewer than 15% of respondents (fewer than two participants) were excluded, resulting in 14 research priorities progressing to Round 3. In Round 3, the relevance of these research priorities was ranked using a Likert scale, from 1 (research unimportant) to 5 (research very important); 25 respondents took part in this round (83% response rate).
However, recent research using a different scale to assess psychological flexibility as the AAQ-II, rejects a two-factor solution and considers the construct as an unidimensional measure [ 13].
Second, participants were asked to reflect on their former 'clerkship experience' by using a nominal scale used in research by Peeraer et al. The scale is divided in five levels: level 1 (not seen, not performed), level 2 (demonstrated, but not performed), level 3 (performed one time), level 4 (performed approximately three times) and level 5 (performed 10 times or more).
Preliminary costs of goods analysis using research scale costings indicate the feasibility of the UCLBAL.
Prior to and immediately following the dialogues, participants completed a questionnaire (see Additional files 1 and 2) where they rated their level of support for each of the three general approaches to use of personal information for research, using a 7-point rating scale that varied from "dislike very much" to "like very much".
Research supervisors retrospectively rated trainees' research performance using a 5-point scale anchored with 0 = poor; 3 = average; 5 = outstanding.
However, we recognise that this study provides only preliminary evidence of effectiveness of the training package and further research of its effectiveness using a stronger research design on a larger scale is merited.
Validation is a very important, but often overlooked step when using a scale in a new research setting [ 24].
