Establishing a framework for research : The example of Needs Assessment
(1996-01)•This paper explains the early planning stage of a study commissioned by the English National Board which will investigate the changing educational needs of community nurses with regard to needs assessment and quality of ... -
Establishing a Quantifiable Model of Whale Shark Avoidance Behaviours to Anthropogenic Impacts in Tourism Encounters to Inform Management Actions
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-10-09)As the world's largest living fish, the whale shark has received much scientific attention in recent years, although despite this a great deal is still unknown on the life history and behavioural ecology of these majestic ... -
Establishing A University Venture Capital Fund : The Case of Hanoi University of Science and Technology
(BACH KHAO PUBLISHING HOUSE, 2020-11-02)For entrepreneurs to be successful in any country, they need a favourable environment in which they can develop their ideas and grow their business. The concept of this environment, an ecosystem, is rooted in earlier ... -
Establishing initial user requirements for PAM-AID: a mobility and support device to assist frail and elderly visually impaired persons
(IOS Press, 1998)The PAM-AID project aims to build an intelligent, indoor mobility aid for frail and elderly visually impaired people which will provide both physical and navigational support for walking. The objective is to allow users ... -
Establishing new nursing roles : A case study of the English community matron initiative
(2011)Aim and objective : To examine the factors affecting the extent to which English policy on the introduction of community matrons for people with chronic conditions was implemented. Background : Improving health services ... -
Establishing realistic performance measurements for customer relationship management in the SME context
(University of Hertfordshire, 2007)This research reviews aspects. of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) literature. It examines, in particular, the area of CRM performance measurement. The main objective of this research is to develop a business-orientated ... -
Establishing the importance of oil-membrane interactions on the transmembrane diffusion of physicochemically diverse compounds
(2016-06-15)The diffusion process through a non-porous barrier membrane depends on the properties of the drug, vehicle and membrane. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether a series of oily vehicles might have the ... -
Establishing the values for patient engagement (PE) in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) research: an international, multiple-stakeholder perspective
(2016-12-08)PurposeActive patient engagement is increasingly viewed as essential to ensuring that patient-driven perspectives are considered throughout the research process. However, guidance for patient engagement (PE) in HRQoL ... -
Establishment and impact of Pseudomonas fluorescens genetically modified for lactose utilization and kanamycin resistance in the rhizosphere of pea
(1998)The impact of a Pseudomonas fluorescens strain, genetically modified for kanamycin resistance and lactose utilisation (the GMM), could be enhanced by soil amendment with lactose and kanamycin. Lactose addition decreased ... -
Estimating energy expenditure by heart-rate monitoring without individual calibration
(2001)Heart rate monitoring has been shown to be a valid method for measuring free-living energy expenditure at the group level, but its use in large-scale studies is limited by the need for an individual calibration of the ... -
Estimating Invariant Principal Components Using Diagonal Regression
(University of Hertfordshire, 2005)In this work we apply the method of diagonal regression to derive an alternative version of Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Diagonal regression was introduced by Ragnar Frisch (the first economics Nobel laureate) in ... -
Estimating meteor rates using Bayesian inference
(2011-10)A method for estimating the true meteor rate lambda from a small number of observed meteors n is derived. We employ Bayesian inference with a Poissonian likelihood function. We discuss the choice of a suitable prior and ... -
Estimating size in incremental software development projects
(2005-12)The motivation for this work is derived from the current interest in speeding up development schedules. A key implication of the shift to more rapid development methods is the growing emphasis on fixed time and fixed effort ... -
Estimating sizes of faint, distant galaxies in the submillimetre regime
(2016-10-21)We measure the sizes of redshift ˜2 star-forming galaxies by stacking data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). We use a uv-stacking algorithm in combination with model fitting in the uv-domain and ... -
Estimating the diffusive heat flux across a stable interface forced by convective motions
(2010)Entrainment at the top of the convectively-driven boundary layer (CBL) is revisited using data from a high-resolution large-eddy simulation (LES). In the range of values of the bulk Richardson number RiB studied here (about ... -
Estimating the low-mass IMF in OB associations : o Orionis
(Springer Nature, 2005)We investigate the issues of contamination and exclusion in photometric membership selection techniques when applied to OB associations. We use radial velocities to calculate membership probabilities for a sample of very ...
