May 11, 2015 1 / 42 Factor Analysis before 1964 Although its roots can be traced back to the work of Francis Galton, it is generally considered that factor analysis began with the celebrated article by Spearman (1904). In the first half of the 20th century factor analysis was mainly developed by psychologists for the purpose of identifying mental abilities by means of psychological testing. Various theories of mental abilities and various procedures for analyzing the correlations among psychological tests emerged. The most prominent factor analysts in the first half of the 20th century seem to be Godfrey Thomson, Cyril Burt, Raymond Cattell, Karl Holzinger, Louis Thurstone and Louis Guttman. A later generation of psychological factor analysts that played important roles are Ledyard Tucker, Ray Cattell, Henry Kaiser, and Chester Harris. Karl G J¨reskog ( ) o 50 Years of SEM in 50 Minutes?? May 11, 2015 2 / 42 Through the 1950’s factor analysis was characterized by a set of ad hoc procedures for analyzing the correlation matrix R of the tests.

...How We Study Cells Describe the principles, advantages, and limitations of the light microscope, transmission electron microscope, and scanning electron microscope. Electron microscopes reveal organelles that are impossible to resolve with the light microscope. However, electron microscopes can only be used on dead cells. •Light microscopes do not have as high a resolution, but they can be used to study live cells. •Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) are used mainly to study the internal ultrastructure of cells. A TEM aims an electron beam through a thin section of the specimen. •Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) are useful for studying surface structures. The SEM has great depth of field,resulting in an image that seems three-dimensional. Explain why cell fractionation is a useful technique. Enables scientist to determine the functions of organelles. A Panoramic View of the Cell Distinguish between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. They both have: Plasma Membrane, Cytosol (semifluid subst), Chromosomes (carry genes), and Ribosomes (make proteins). Prokaryotic: are small, simple, and NO nucleus or membrane-enclosed organelles, DNA is concentrated in the nucleoid w/o membrane separating it. Eukaryotic: are big, complex, the chromosomes are contained within a membranous nuclear envelope, and numerous organelles suspended in the cytosol. Explain the advantages of compartmentalization in eukaryotic cells. They have both hydrophobic...

This paper will focus in detail on the relevance and significance of observing the sun. The various features on the sun are explained along with appropriate methodologies for safely viewing them. Three techniques are deployed to safely observe the sun. Further scope and interpretations of this experiment are also discussed. I. I NTRODUCTION Looking at the sun with naked eyes can be extremely dangerous, but with the right equipment, several interesting features of the sun can be revealed. Some of the notable features include sunspots, granulation and corona of the sun. To view the surface, three techniques are used. each has its own advantage. A. Surface features 1) Sun Spots : Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the photosphere of the Sun that appear visibly as dark spots on the surface. They correspond to concentrations of magnetic field that inhibit convection and result in reduced surface temperature compared to the surrounding photosphere. Sunspots usually appear as pairs, with each spot having the opposite magnetic polarity of the other...

...countless South American immigrants only hoping to look and find a way for a better life for themselves and their children. President Obama’s illegal immigration reform is not celebrated but applauded by its many supporters in that it not only holds illegal immigrants accountable for years of unpaid taxes, not only helping the national economy but also giving immigrants a chance in citizenship presented that they pay off all their taxes, also keeping the American dream alive in guaranteeing immigrants who have been in the U.S for longer than five years, in ensuring no deportation given a clean background check and also keeping these hard working American Immigrants families alive. In his most recent national address, President Obama argued that this nation’s immigration system is “broken” and further proposed a strengthening of our border security, streamlining legal immigration, earned citizenship, and the exploitation of the undocumented worker by hiring employers. Although I agree with President Obama’s ideas of addressing the outdated and dysfunctional migratory system, I believe his proposal will bring forth more harm than good. It imposes stringent requirements on illegal immigrants without providing any defined guarantee of citizenship. The reform proposes that all illegal immigrants register with the U.S. government for provisional legal status (Registered Provisional Immigrant status or RPI). Once registered they will have to pay a fine of $2,000 in addition to federal fees...

...IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MINDANAO A Research Paper Presented to Prof. Jocel Siglos – CASE Faculty In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for English 201: Academic Writing, 5:30-6:30 PM By Ang, Diana Rose De Lima, Geralden Tampus, Christian Leonard March 2016 Chapter 1 The Problem and its Settings Background of the Study Time is a very important concept for everyone, especially for BSA students who want to graduate and earn a degree. In a short span of time, a student must do his assignments, pass projects before or on the deadline, and for graduating students, there’s the pre-review courses which require a lot of reading and problem solving. Time becomes even more important when they enter the professional industry since an accountant has to deal with periodic reporting and tax return filing deadlines. One would easily conclude that without proper time management and good study habits, anyone will fail in anything. Thus this study aims to explore these factors and how it actually affects the academic performances of accounting students, especially the graduating ones. Time management, as defined by Wikipedia.org, is the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity. It is a skill that each BSA student must have in order to remain in the college. One accounting exam can cover a lot of chapters and the intervals between...

Inside you will find detailed information outlining AARP’s mission, purpose, and scope. Austin Braham The American Association of Retired Persons is a powerful special interest group that protects the interests of retirees across the US by lobbying politicians to pass legislation in the organization’s favor. Inside you will find detailed information outlining AARP’s mission, purpose, and scope. Politicians are elected in part on the basis of the issues by which they stand, and these issues are either held up or weakened by numerous interest groups that exist today. Interest groups target both major and minor issues, using all of their resources to sponsor or overpower the groups' concern. Interest groups are composed of a limited range of the body of voters who have a great stake in the issues that their group supports. It is made clear and evident which issues their group supports. Resources are used in an attempt to make their interests public policy. Interest groups are persistent; they do not give up until they succeed and they lobby congress, take legal action, and attempt to influence election results in order to benefit their cause. One such political interest group is the AARP (American Association of Retired Persons). Founded in...
