Many social studies analyze attitude responses using the linear regression model. This model typically treats questionnaire data as continuous scales, although the data is merely ordinal. One type of regression model that is more appropriate to analyze rank-order responses is the Ordinal...

Uniformly hemispherical separated CuInSe2 (CIS) quantum dots (QDs) were fabricated by low-frequency inductivity coupled plasma (LF-ICP) assisted radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique from a ternary compound target on Si (100) and glass substrate with ZnO film serving as buffer...

Quaternary SiCAlN nanoparticle films were produced by reactive rf magnetron co-sputtering technique with a chemically pure SiC and an Al target under low temperature. The crystalline structure, surface morphology, and element content of the films were studied in terms of sputtering parameters....

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocrystals are successfully fabricated on glass and silicon substrates at room temperature with low-frequency (460 kHz) inductively coupled plasma assisted magnetron sputtering technique. Both size and shape can be controlled by changing deposition parameters and...

Polycrystalline silicon carbide (P-SiC) films containing SiC nanoparticles and Er were prepared by r.f. reactive magnetron co-sputtering technique with SiC and Er targets on low-temperature silicon (111) and silicon dioxide substrates with the mixed gas of pure argon, methane, and hydrogen....

The vast majority of patients clearly benefit from modern health care. However, the rate of injury and death inadvertently caused by medical treatment remains too high, and exacts enormous human and financial costs. Organisational change is not solely a technological issue however, and the...

In this research, the authors investigate the willingness of the Greek Cypriot tourism professionals to cooperate with the Turkish Cypriot counterparts in the industry. The analytical framework draws on the literature on the conflict in Cyprus, in general, and on the conflict and its impact on...

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to present a methodology for the decomposition of economic growth by industry which allows interindustry comparisons. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses the growth decomposition methodology developed by Ivanov and Ivanov and Webster for tourism...
