Heathland, with its frail character, has always been one of the most essential habitats for almost all indigenous reptile species in the Netherlands. Situated in the Drents-Friese Wold National Park, the Doldersummerveld ranks as one of the best developed heathland areas of Western Europe and counts …

Over the past few years the terms 'fair trade', 'sustainable' and 'organic' have become more present in combination with tea products in the supermarkets. These terms are used for many different goals. Some suppliers actually try to provide the consumer with a product that has been produced following …

The assumptions of the model for factor analysis do not exclude a class of indeterminate covariances between factors and error variables (Grayson, 2003). The construction of all factors of the model for factor analysis is generalized to incorporate indeterminate factor-error covariances. A necessary …

If the ratio m/p tends to zero, where m is the number of factors m and p the number of observable variables, then the inverse diagonal element of the inverted observable covariance matrix (σ pjj) -1 tends to the corresponding unique variance ψ jj for almost all of these (Guttman, 1956). If the smallest …

Sufficient conditions for mean square convergence of factor predictors in common factor analysis are given by Guttman, by Williams, and by Schneeweiss and Mathes. These conditions do not hold for confirmatory factor analysis or when an error variance equals zero (Heywood cases). Two sufficient conditions …
