Coefficient of Linear Expansion Introduction With few exceptions materials expand somewhat when heated through a temperature range that does not produce a change in phase (i.e. melting‚ freezing‚ boiling etc.). The added heat increases the average amplitude of vibration of the atoms in the material‚ which increases the average separation between the atoms. Although this effect is small‚ it is very important in any application that involves using different materials in an environment where they

What is the DuPont equation‚ and how does it capture the nature of expense control‚ efficiency of asset management‚ and financial leverage (or debt) of a firm? If you were the CFO of your firm (or a hypothetical firm)‚ what variable would you concentrate your efforts on and why? The DuPont equation is a method of measurement that was started by the DuPont Corporation in the 1920s. In this method of measurement the assets are measured at their gross book value rather than at their net book value which

Straight Line Equations and Inequalities A: Linear Equations - Straight lines Please remember that when you are drawing graphs you should always label your axes and that y is always shown on the vertical axis. A linear equation between two variables x and y can be represented by y = a + bx where “a” and “b” are any two constants. For example‚ suppose we wish to plot the straight line If x = -2‚ say‚ then y = 3 + 2(-2) = 3 - 4 = -1 If x= -2 -1 -1 1 0 3 1 5 2 7 As you can see‚ we have plotted the

The Form of Structural Equation Models Structural equation modeling incorporates several different approaches or frameworks to representing these models. In one well-known framework (popularized by Karl Jöreskog‚ University of Uppsala)‚ the general structural equation model can be represented by three matrix equations: However‚ in applied work‚ structural equation models are most often represented graphically. Here is a graphical example of a structural equation model: For more information

This article considers the relationship between two variables in two ways: (1) by using regression analysis and (2) by computing the correlation coefficient. By using the regression model‚ we can evaluate the magnitude of change in one variable due to a certain change in another variable. For example‚ an economist can estimate the amount of change in food expenditure due to a certain change in the income of a household by using the regression model. A sociologist may want to estimate the increase
