Estimating Willingness to Pay Air Passenger Duty
(2018-09-01)Carbon taxation on air travellers is widely considered an effective way of offsetting environmental externalities and adjusting tourist flow. Despite the popularity of carbon taxation, research investigating travellers’ ... -
Estimation and comparison of endogenous ordered category multilevel models
(Franco Angeli, 2007) -
Estimation and Comparison of Endogenous Ordered Category Multilevel Models
(University of Hertfordshire, 2004)Data often take the form of ordered categories. For instance, in education, test results are often reported as grades. Where a hierarchical structure exists for--the data, multilevel modelling of such ordered categorisations ... -
Estimation and Modelling of Errors in the Library Preparation Stage of Next Generation Sequencing
(2020-12-16)Next-generation sequencing has empowered genomics by making it possible to sequence genomes at a lower cost and less time compared to the traditional Sanger method. However, these improvements suffer from reduced accuracy ... -
The estimation of body height from ulna length in healthy adults from different ethnic groups
(2012)Background: Assessments of nutritional status frequently incorporate a measure of height to evaluate a person’s relative thinness or fatness. Because height is often difficult to quantify, it may be predicted from alternative ... -
Estimation of energy expenditure using prediction equations in overweight and obese adults : a systematic review
(2016-08-01)Background: Estimates of energy requirements are needed in weight management and are usually determined using prediction equations. The objective of these two systematic reviews was to identify which equations based on ... -
Estimation of error in bankfull width comparisons from temporally sequenced raw and corrected aerial photographs
(2003)This study investigates the propagation of error through image-to-image comparison of 285 river bankfull width measurements of the Afon Trannon, mid-Wales. Bankfull width is quantified from both aerial photographs analysed ... -
Estimation of microphysical parameters of atmospheric pollution using machine learning
(Springer Nature, 2018-09-27)The estimation of microphysical parameters of pollution (effective radius and complex refractive index) from optical aerosol parameters entails a complex problem. In previous work based on machine learning techniques, ... -
Estimation of radiative forcing by the dust and non-dust content in mixed East Asian pollution plumes on the basis of depolarization ratios measured with lidar
(2012-12)The contribution of dust and non-dust aerosols to the lidar observed total backscattering was estimated from the linear particle depolarization ratios (delta(p)) under the assumption of externally mixed aerosols. During ... -
Estimation of Stability and Control Derivatives for a Piper Cub J-3 Remotely Piloted Vehicle
(2012-08-01)The aerodynamic stability and control derivatives for a scaled Piper Cub J-3 remotely piloted aircraft are estimated here, principally using the Engineering Sciences Data Unit (ESDU) data items. These modern semi-empirical ... -
Estimation of Stellar Metal Abundance. II : A Recalibration of the Ca II K Technique, and the Autocorrelation Function Method
(1999)We have recalibrated a method for the estimation of stellar metal abundance, parameterized as [Fe/H], based on medium-resolution (1–2 Å) optical spectra (the majority of which cover the wavelength range 3700–4500 Å). The ... -
Estimation of the Microbiological Quality of Meat using Rapid and Non-Invasive Spectroscopic Sensors
(2020-06-08)Spectroscopic methods in tandem with machine learning methodologies have attracted considerable research interest for the estimation of food quality. The objective of this study was the evaluation of Fourier transform ... -
Estimation of the risk of stroke in Black populations in Barbados and South London
(2006)Background and Purpose— The incidence of stroke in black populations is a public health issue, but how risk varies between black communities is unclear. Methods— Population-based registers in South London (SLSR) and Barbados ... -
Estimation of the rotational terms of the dynamic response matrix
(2004)The dynamic response of a structure can be described by both its translational and rotational receptances. The latter ones are frequently not considered because of the difficulties in applying a pure moment excitation or ... -
Estrategias bancarias aplicables a las bibliotecas: La satisfacción y fidelización de usuarios
(2006)This article intends to analyse the possibilities to apply techniques of customers’ satisfaction and loyalty used in bank web sites and apply this to the libraries ambit. -
Ethical challenges in researching and telling the stories of recently deceased people
(2020-08-28)This paper explores ethical challenges encountered when conducting research about, and telling, the stories of individuals who had died before the research began. Cases were explored where individuals who lived alone had ... -
Ethical Competence: an Analysis of Decision-Making in Clinical Psychology
(2019-10-11)This research aimed to develop understanding of ethical competence in clinical psychology by exploring responses to hypothetical ethical dilemmas presented in vignettes, developed for the present research. It investigated ... -
Ethical Dilemmas and Paradoxes in Assurance Practice: A New Approach that Acknowledges Compromise, Trust and Relationality
(2008-02-25)Assurance of corporate sustainability reports relies on the idea of a third-party assuror who is independent and objective. The assurance approaches typically used by accountancy companies have been developed over many ... -
Ethical dilemmas are not simply black and white
(2008-07-01)This article aims to highlight some of the ethical issues that arise when social work educators plan to involve service users and carers from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities in the teaching of social work ... -
