By focusing primarily on the application of structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques in example cases and situations, this book provides an understanding and working knowledge of advanced SEM techniques with a minimum of mathematical derivations. The book was written for a broad audience crossing many disciplines, assumes an understanding of graduate level multivariate statistics, including an introduction to SEM.

Under public concert conditions, the heart rate of a musical performer increases significantly when compared with that in a rehearsal situation. Previous studies have examined this effect, attributing a higher heart rate in performances to the effects of mental stress and performance anxiety. However, the actual physical work load had to be neglected in these studies, because it appears to be impossible to quantify physiological involvement while playing music. This book investigates the basic physiological and psychological processes that take place during ...

The Victory, is a classical book and has been considered important throughout the human history. So that this book is never forgotten we at Alpha Editions have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this again in a modern format book for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies of their original work and hence the text is clear and readable.

This textbook provides a thorough introduction to the differential geometry of parametrized curves and surfaces, along with a wealth of applications to specific architectural elements. Geometric elements in architecture respond to practical, physical and aesthetic needs. Proper understanding of the mathematics underlying the geometry provides control over the construction. This book relates the classical mathematical theory of parametrized curves and surfaces to multiple applications in architecture. The presentation is mathematically complete with numerous ...

This publication explores the perceptions of local communities regarding the Green Gicumbi Project, a key initiative in Rwanda's response to climate change challenges. The project is part of Rwanda's broader national strategy to enhance resilience and promote sustainable development in regions vulnerable to climate impacts. By focusing on mitigation and adaptation measures, Green Gicumbi aims to improve ecosystem health, increase agricultural productivity, and support local livelihoods. However, the project's success depends heavily on community engagement ...
