Latent Curve Models: A Structural Equation Perspective (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)

This volume represents a comprehensive treatment of a model sometimes referred to as latent curve or growth curve models. Latent Curve Models analyzes LTMs from the perspective of structural equation modeling (SEM) with latent variables. Although the authors discuss simple regression-based procedures that are helpful in the early stages of LTM, most of the presentation will use SEMs as a driving tool throughout the text.

Interpretations of Renaissance Humanism

Authored by some of the most preeminent Renaissance scholars active today, the essays of this volume give fresh and illuminating analyses of important aspects of Renaissance humanism, such as the time and causes of its origin, its connection to the papal court and medieval traditions, its classical learning, its religious and literary dimensions, and its dramatis personae. Their interpretations are varied to the point of being contradictory. The essays bear the imprint of the work of the eminent scholars of the second half of the twentieth century, especially Kristeller’s, and demonstrate an awareness of the various modes of critical inquiry that have prevailed in recent years. As such they are an important exemplar of current scholarship on Renaissance humanism and are, therefore, indispensable to the scholar who wishes to explore this pivotal cultural movement.

Fundamentals of Signal Processing for Sound and Vibration Engineers

Fundamentals of Signal Processing for Sound and Vibration Engineers is based on Joe Hammond’s many years of teaching experience at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton. Whilst the applications presented emphasise sound and vibration, the book focusses on the basic essentials of signal processing that ensures its appeal as a reference text to students and practitioners in all areas of mechanical, automotive, aerospace and civil engineering.
