Preliminary Investigation into Tree Dryness in Hevea brasiliensis (Wild. Ex Adr. De Juss) Muell. Arg. by Path Analysis of Tree Dryness and Latex Parameters

The correlative path analysis between tree dryness and four latex parameters was studied in eleven clones of Hevea brasiliensis.The latex parameters used for evaluation were initial HR Board volume, initial flow rate, final volume and plugging index with tree dryness as the dependent factor.Estimates of direct and indirect effects of each of the la

COPERNICUS BIG DATA AND GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE FOR GLACIER SURFACE VELOCITY FIELD MONITORING: FEASIBILITY DEMONSTRATION ON SAN RAFAEL AND SAN QUINTIN GLACIERS

The glaciers are a natural global resource and one of the principal climate change indicator at global and local scale, being influenced by temperature and snow precipitation changes.Among the parameters used for glacier monitoring, the surface velocity is a key element, since it is connected to glaciers changes (mass balance, hydro balance, glacie

Questioning the Reciprocal Effects Model of Academic Self-Concept and Achievement: A Reanalysis of a Meta-Analysis of Longitudinal Studies and a Simulation

A recent meta-analysis claimed to provide evidence that academic self-concept and achievement have reciprocal prospective effects on each other (reciprocal effects model).However, prospective effects were estimated while adjusting for a prior measurement of the outcome, and this method is susceptible to spurious findings due to correlations with re
