© 2020 Australian and New Zealand Marketing Academy Covariance Based – Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) is often used to investigate moderation and latent interaction effects. This study illustrates and compares the application of constrained, unconstrained and orthogonalized CB-SEM approaches to latent variable interaction analysis using AMOS. Although all three techniques provided similar parameter estimates, the orthogonalized approach provided reduced standard errors resulting in identifying a significant latent interaction, suggesting the orthogonalized approach may be better suited for exploratory research. The illustrated example demonstrates three CB-SEM techniques, and the simplicity of the three approaches to test for interaction effects. The three approaches can be comfortably implemented in available software programs. Guidelines and recommendations for the use of the three approaches are identified with a step-wise process of assessing the latent interaction effect in CB-SEM. As far as we are aware this is the first investigation comparing and recommending specific CB-SEM latent variable moderation analysis techniques in marketing research.

As a part of lifeline system, the LNG tanks seismic design is very important because of the increasing danger caused by the rapid economic development. However, the LNG tanks design codes are absent in China. The application of the double-layer spherical tank should be promoted, because of its advantages including better mechanical behavior, less maintenance cost etc. The state of the art about the design aspect is reviewed, especially the low temperature material properties, the liquid-structure interaction analysis techniques, the isolation and damping of tanks. The potential aspects for the future design are also discussed.

The purpose of this research to describe implementation, efforts and the impact of entrepreneur's activities on the development of creative thinking students in MI Safeah Turen District. This qualitative study uses the instrument of research sheet, questionnaire and  documentation. Subject this study is the teacher, students class III and IV in MI Amanah Turen. Data analysis techniques in this study are a model of interaction analysis of data collection, reduction data, data presentation and conclusion withdrawals. The results show that the development of creative thinking of students through entrepreneur's activities is seen when students have a sense of confidence and to be brave in the delivery of ideas and promotion, the new product creations, forms, packaging with delicious, healthy, affordable prices and benign services. Entrepreneurial activities have a positive impact in the form of developing students' creative thinking which includes 4 aspects, namely fluency, flexibility, originality and detail.

This study attempts to find appropriate interaction analysis/content analysis techniques that assist in examining the negotiation of meaning and co-construction of knowledge in collaborative learning environments facilitated by computer conferencing. The authors review strengths and shortcomings of existing interaction analysis techniques and propose a new model based on grounded theory building for analyzing the quality of CMC interactions and learning experiences. This new Interaction Analysis Model for Examining Social Construction of Knowledge in Computer Conferencing was developed after proposing a new definition of “interaction” for the CMC context and after analyzing interactions that occurred in a Global Online Debate. The application of the new model for analysis of collaborative construction of knowledge in the online debate and in a subsequent computer conference are discussed and future research suggested.

Spectrum-imaging is a useful technique for comparing different processing methods on very large data sets which are identical for each method. This paper is concerned with comparing methods of electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) quantitative analysis on the Al-Li system. The spectrum-image analyzed here was obtained from an Al-10at%Li foil aged to produce δ' precipitates that can span the foil thickness. Two 1024 channel EELS spectra offset in energy by 1 eV were recorded and stored at each pixel in the 80x80 spectrum-image (25 Mbytes). An energy range of 39-89eV (20 channels/eV) are represented. During processing the spectra are either subtracted to create an artifact corrected difference spectrum, or the energy offset is numerically removed and the spectra are added to create a normal spectrum. The spectrum-images are processed into 2D floating-point images using methods and software described in [1].

In the last twenty years, a significant amount of work has been done in the theoretical understanding of grain boundaries. The various proposed grain boundary models suggest the existence of coincidence site lattice (CSL) boundaries at specific misorientations where a periodic structure representing a local minimum of energy exists between the two crystals. In general, the boundary energy depends not only upon the density of CSL sites but also upon the boundary plane, so that different facets of the same boundary have different energy. Here we describe TEM observations of the dissociation of a Σ=27 boundary in silicon in order to reduce its surface energy and attain a low energy configuration.The boundary was identified as near CSL Σ=27 {255} having a misorientation of (38.7±0.2)°/[011] by standard Kikuchi pattern, electron diffraction and trace analysis techniques. Although the boundary appeared planar, in the TEM it was found to be dissociated in some regions into a Σ=3 {111} and a Σ=9 {122} boundary, as shown in Fig. 1.

Ion mills equipped with flood guns can perform two important functions in material analysis; they can either remove material or deposit material. The ion mill holder shown in Fig. 1 is used to remove material from the polished surface of a sample for further optical inspection or SEM ( Scanning Electron Microscopy ) analysis. The sample is attached to a pohshing stud type SEM mount and placed in the ion mill holder with the polished surface of the sample pointing straight up, as shown in Fig 2. As the holder is rotating in the ion mill, Argon ions from the flood gun are directed down at the top of the sample. The impact of Argon ions against the surface of the sample causes some of the surface material to leave the sample at a material dependent, nonuniform rate. As a result, the polished surface will begin to develop topography during milling as fast sputtering materials leave behind depressions in the polished surface.

Developmental Sentence Scoring (DSS) is a useful procedure for quantifying thegrammatic structure of children's expressive language. Like most language analysis techniques, however, DSS requires considerable study and practice to use it correctly and efficiently. Clinicians learning DSS tend to make many scoring errors at first and they display similar confusions and mistakes. This article identifies some of these common "problem" areas and provides scoring examples to assist clinicians in learning the DSS procedure.
