"Featuring actual datasets as illustrative examples, this book reveals numerous ways to apply structural equation modeling (SEM) to any repeated-measures study. Initial chapters lay the groundwork for modeling a longitudinal change process, from measurement, design, and specification issues to model evaluation and interpretation. Covering both big-picture ideas and technical "how-to-do-it" details, the author deftly walks through when and how to use longitudinal confirmatory factor analysis, longitudinal panel models (including the multiple-group case), multilevel models, growth curve models, and complex factor models, as well as models for mediation and moderation. User-friendly features include equation boxes that clearly explain the elements in every equation, end-of-chapter glossaries, and annotated suggestions for further reading. The companion website (http://crmda.ku.edu/guilford/little) provides datasets for all of the examples--which include studies of bullying, adolescent students' emotions, and healthy aging--with syntax and output from LISREL, Mplus, and R (lavaan)."--Publisher's website"

"The new edition's expanded use of applications makes this book ideal for advanced students and researchers in psychology, education, business, health care, political science, sociology, and biology. A basic understanding of correlation is assumed and an understanding of the matrices used in SEM models is encouraged for the more advanced SEM models."

"The Purpose of this paper is to study the mechanical behavior of concrete blocks and prisms when performing axial compression tests within the Brazilian base of knowledge, intending to foment data of this kind for a world based networks. The block were built using five different mixtures in which the quantity of cement and the compacting ratio (density) were varied ( during the fabrication process). The three course high prisms were assembled using 1 cm (0.39 in.) thick full badded joints, always trying to leave the mortar's characteristic constant . The axial compression test were conducted according to Brazilian practice code recommendations, because most of the these standards are very similar to international practice code s. The compressive strenght, strains, and rupture form of each mixture studied were recorded . Attempts were made to correlate the strength, efficiency ratio(block strength / prism strength of the prisms, strains and rupture form ; with the quantity of cement and compacting ratio. The data are presented in tables and figures, and the obtained results are discussed throughout the text."

"This book presents the proceedings of the International Astrophysics Forum Alpbach 2011. The contributions discuss the latest advances in the exploration of dynamical behavior in space plasmas environments, including comprehensive approaches to theoretical, experimental and numerical aspects. The book will appeal to researchers and students in the fields of physics, space and astrophysics, solar physics, geophysics and planetary science."
