Improving School Meals in the London Borough of Southwark: an evaluation of a healthy eating intervention
(Food Standards Agency, 2005)School meals have the potential to provide an important source of good nutrition for young people. However, published evidence shows that most children do not make healthy choices when offered food at school and this ... -
Improving stem canker control in winter oilseed rape by accurate timing of fungicide applications based on disease forecasting
(HGCA, 2001)This three year project focused on improving strategies for control of canker (Leptosphaeria maculans) in winter oilseed rape. There were three main objectives, which were addressed using historical data and field experiments: ... -
Improving strategies to control stem canker in the UK
(1999)The fungicides difenoconazole, flusilazole + carbendazim, prochloraz + carbendazim and tebuconazole applied as two or four spray treatments at full or half dose gave good control of phoma leaf spot on canker-susceptible ... -
Improving Student's Engagement Through the Use of Learning Modules, Instantaneous Feedback and Automated Marking
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-01-17)Assessment is central in effective teaching. This research sets out to discover the impact and effectiveness of timely assessment and feedback on student performance and engagement. Qualitative and quantitative data is ... -
Improving the confidence in measurement-based timing analysis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)Measurement-based timing analysis (MBTA) is a hybrid approach that combines execution-time measurements with static program analysis techniques to obtain an estimate of the worst-case execution time (WCET) of a program. ... -
Improving the corrosion resistance of MgZn1.2GdxZr0.18 (x =0, 0.8, 1.4, 2.0) alloys via Gd additions
(2020-12-01)Effects of Gd addition on microstructure, corrosion behavior and mechanism of cast and extruded MgZn1.2GdxZr0.18 alloys are investigated through microstructure observation, weight loss and electrochemical tests. Increasing ... -
Improving The Environmental And Economic Performance Of Players In Markets- An Egyptian Fable
(University of Hertfordshire, 2000)Evidence from research across a number of developing countries suggests that where small firms exist in clusters, positive interaction does emerge over time. As part of this co-existence many of these firms grow at a higher ... -
Improving the MXFT Scheduling Algorithm for a Cloud Computing Context
(2019-08-09)In this paper, the Max-Min Fast Track (MXFT) scheduling algorithm is improved and compared against a selection of popular algorithms. The improved versions of MXFT are called Min-Min Max-Min Fast Track (MMMXFT) and Clustering ... -
Improving the Precision of Fowler's Definitions of Bad Smells
(2009)Current approaches to detecting bad smells in code are mainly based on software metrics. We suggest that these methods lack precision in detecting bad smells, and we propose a code pattern-based approach to detecting bad ... -
