Intrapartum care
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-01)A chapter introducing the student to the principles of care during childbirth -
An intrapartum intervention scoring system for the comparison of maternity units' intrapartum care of nulliparous women suitable for midwifery led care
(2004)Objective: to develop an intrapartum intervention scoring tool which could be used to define maternity units as either ‘lower intrapartum intervention’ or ‘higher intrapartum intervention’ units. This scoring tool was ... -
Intrapersonal, interpersonal, and physical space in anorexia nervosa: a virtual reality and repertory grid study.
(2017-06-01)Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder characterized by severe body image disturbances. Recent studies from spatial cognition showed a connection between the experience of body and of space. The objectives of this ... -
Intravenous Iron Dosing and Infection Risk in Patients on Hemodialysis : A Prespecified Secondary Analysis of the PIVOTAL Trial
(2020-05)BACKGROUND: Experimental and observational studies have raised concerns that giving intravenous (IV) iron to patients, such as individuals receiving maintenance hemodialysis, might increase the risk of infections. The ... -
Intravenous Iron in Patients Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis
(2018-10-26)BACKGROUND: Intravenous iron is a standard treatment for patients undergoing hemodialysis, but comparative data regarding clinically effective regimens are limited. METHODS: In a multicenter, open-label trial with blinded ... -
Intravesical Chemohyperthermia vs. Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Instillation for Intermediate- and High-Risk Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2021-11-23)Background: The efficacy of intravesical chemotherapy maintenance for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is inferior compared to intravesical bacillus Calmette–Guerin (BCG). How intravesical ... -
Intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing large African herbivore movements
(2015-11-01)Understanding environmental as well as anthropogenic factors that influence large herbivore ecological patterns and processes should underpin their conservation and management. We assessed the influence of intrinsic, ... -
Intrinsic metrological resolution as a distance measure and nonclassical light
(2008)We elaborate on a Hilbert-Schmidt distance measure assessing the intrinsic metrological accuracy in the detection of signals imprinted on quantum probe states by signal-dependent transformations. For small signals this ... -
Intrinsically Motivated Autonomy in Human-Robot Interaction: Human Perception of Predictive Information in Robots
(Springer Nature, 2019-06-28)In this paper we present a fully autonomous and intrinsically motivated robot usable for HRI experiments. We argue that an intrinsically motivated approach based on the Predictive Information formalism, like the one presented ... -
Introducing and Using Electronic Voting Systems in a Large Scale Project With Undergraduate Students : Reflecting on the Challenges and Successes
(Academic Conferences Ltd., 2011)Electronic Voting Systems (EVS) have become a popular medium for encouraging student engagement in class-based activities and for managing swift feedback in formative and summative assessments. Since their early days of ... -
Introducing disappointment dynamics and comparing behaviors in evolutionary games : Some simulation results
(2014-01-30)The paper presents an evolutionary model, based on the assumption that agents may revise their current strategies if they previously failed to attain the maximum level of potential payoffs. We offer three versions of this ... -
Introducing Neuromodulation to a Braitenberg Vehicle
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)Artificial neural networks are often used as the control systems for mobile robots. However, although these models usually claim inspiration from biology, they often lack an analogue of the biological phenomenon called ... -
Introducing phase tracing into a computational method which combines ray-tracing with diffraction on facets
(University of Bremen, 2005)The viability of introducing phase tracing into our ray tracing with diffraction on facets model is investigated. In order to prove the method, Monte Carlo ray-tracing results for a slit, based on our diffraction formula ... -

Introducing Power, Meaning and Authenticity
(Routledge, 2017-11-13)Our book contains contributions from 20 researchers, all of which are intrigued by the prospect of what events can achieve positively for their stakeholders’, and the ways in which power, meaning and authenticity are central ... -
Introducing Smirk 2
(2009)We introduce a new open source windows based lecture capture solution called Smirk 2. We describe the motivations for writing the tool, a comparison with other such programs on the market, and explain the mechanism of ... -
Introducing the CTA concept
(2013-01-01)The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a new observatory for very high-energy (VHE) gamma rays. CTA has ambitions science goals, for which it is necessary to achieve full-sky coverage, to improve the sensitivity by about ... -
Introducing the new open access Journal Emerging Trends in Drugs, Addiction, and Health
(2021-01-02)We are pleased to present the first issue of Emerging Trends in Drugs, Addiction, and Health. This is the official Journal of the International Society for the Study of Emerging Drugs, a new, Gold Open Access title. The ... -
Introducing the NewHorizon simulation : Galaxy properties with resolved internal dynamics across cosmic time
(2021-07-28)Hydrodynamical cosmological simulations are increasing their level of realism by considering more physical processes and having greater resolution or larger statistics. However, usually either the statistical power of such ...
