The mechanical advantages of the method were validated in terms of the ground reaction behavior by carrying out small-scale model tests.
The proposed MIB method is extensively validated in terms of the order of accuracy, the speed of convergence, the number of iterations and CPU time.
Tests showed that the proposed solution has been basically validated, in terms of the specific plant structure variables such as leaf area (R2 = 0.92).
The global approach is validated in terms of the evolution of energy release rate versus time and the advance of cracks.
The only second person measure with evidence of reliability, internal consistency and validity was the CARE, which showed excellent internal consistency, and was relatively comprehensively validated in terms of both content/face validity and convergent validity [ 16].
The instrument was validated in terms of content validity through an expert review.
Only the QHES instrument was formally validated in terms of construct validity [ 21].
Then, for each item, if the correlation between the score on that item and the score on the subscale to which that item belongs is 0.4 or higher, that item is validated in terms of convergent validity.
This was validated in terms of nutrients, against a semi-weighed 4-day food diary (Spence et al, 2002).
In [24], the Face Shape Maxi5 3D photogrammetric scanner developed by Polishape 3D srl (Bari, Italy), the one used in this study, was validated in terms of reproducibility and accuracy.
The questionnaires were validated in terms of face and content validity and participating children appraised that the items were relevant and that the questionnaires had sufficient clarity and readability.
