Factor analysis is used to find latent variables or factors among observed variables. In other words, if the data contains many variables, the researcher can use factor analysis to reduce the number of variables. Factor analysis groups variables with similar characteristics together. With factor analysis one can produce a small number of factors from a large number of variables which is capable of explaining the observed variance in the larger number of variables. The reduced factors can also be
blotting, a technique for analysis of RNA, was proposed by James Alwine, George Stark and David Kemp in 1977 at Stanford University. It is a method used for the detection of gene expression, specific RNA sequences and various RNA functions. It involves the movement of those RNA molecules on a solid matrix which were already separated by electrophoresis. The matrix is exposed to the suitable probe that hybridizes with the RNA sample. The detector (e.g. phosphoimager and X-ray) then detects the probe
strategic planning. h. It helps in knowing past, present and future so that by using past and current data, future plans can be chalked out. SWOT Analysis provide information that helps in synchronizing the firm’s resources and capabilities with the competitive environment in which the firm operates. 3.8.2 LIMITATIONS OF SWOT ANALYSIS SWOT Analysis is not free from its limitations. It may cause organizations to view circumstances as very simple because of which the organizations might overlook
1 - 4 LOW Considered acceptable and further reduction may not be necessary. Table 1.1: Table of Risk Matrix Legend: High Medium Low Source: Department of Occupational, Safety, and Health (2008). 7.0 Expected Findings 1. The list of the hazards and causes in construction industry will be identified at the end of the research. 2. The mechanism to improve
sample pretreatments like washing, drying and grinding for analysis. These preliminary preparations are quite time taking, tedious and also increases the probability of contamination (3). Alternatively, Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique has several advantages such as minimal or no sample preparation, rapidity, multi-elemental analysis and applicable to wide range of samples with potential of in-situ
- 1 - 1 Introduction Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia in the family of Cucurbitaceae) is a widely popular vegetable grown extensively in several parts of India and in countries like Africa, China, Caribean and Southeast asian regions (Cefalu et al, 2008 and Cousens, 2008). Bitter gourd is a herbaceous climbing annual with ridged stems that grows up to 5 metre long. The plant usually grows on trellis 180 cm in height and has a hairy stem with numerous branches and dense foliage. The main varieties
approach when upgrading product quality _ Based on the analysis, case II is a more economical choice as smaller cost addition can lead to a more improvement of precision in the assembly. As a company which aims to upgrade the product quality, cost is the major concern for choosing an appropriate method. Hence, case II is the suitable approach. To optimize the cost effectiveness of the method for improving precision of components, further analysis can be done. Improving the precision of two or more
The matrix focuses on two major factor, which are the frequency of the event, and the severity of the event. The risk calculated is the likehood (chance / probability) of harm being done. To tender to high risk events, we may either decrease the frequency of
Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) Technique that is grey system theory [3] is used. Deng [3] had proposed Grey relational analysis in the Grey theory that was already proved to be useful for dealing with poor, incomplete, and uncertain information and it is a simple and accurate method for multiple attributes decision problems [4, 5, 6, 7]. Grey relational analysis (GRA) is part of grey system theory,
out by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray detector, micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. On the basis of the chemical composition and microstructure of the samples, the blue pigments were identified as Egyptian blue (cuprorivaite, CaCuSi4O10). Moreover, the micro X-ray fluorescence analysis
