Assessing the influence of pore structure formation on heavy metal immobilization through image-based CFD.
Porous media are widely adopted as immobilization sorbents in environmental engineering. The microscale difference in pore structure formation causes significant deflection in a vast landscape. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)...
Why is reporting quality improvement so hard? A qualitative study in perioperative care.
OBJECTIVES: Quality improvement (QI) may help to avert or mitigate the risks of suboptimal care, but it is often poorly reported in the healthcare literature. We aimed to identify the influences on reporting QI in the area of...
Determining the skills needed by frontline NHS staff to deliver quality improvement
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have detailed the technical, learning and soft skills healthcare staff deploy to deliver quality improvement (QI). However, research has mainly focused on management and leadership skills...
A Board Level Intervention to Develop Organisation-Wide Quality Improvement Strategies
Estela Capelas Barbosa, Lorelei Jones, Linda Pomeroy, Glenn Robert, Susan Burnett, Janet E Anderson, Steve Morris, Fulop Naomi
Aug 26, 2020
BACKGROUND: Hospital boards have statutory responsibility for upholding the quality of care in their organisations. International research on quality in hospitals resulted in a research-based guide to help senior hospital...
A modified Delphi study to identify the features of high quality measurement plans for healthcare improvement projects.
Thomas Woodcock, Yewande Adeleke, Christine Goeschel, Peter Pronovost, Mary Dixon-Woods
Feb 15, 2020
BACKGROUND:The design and execution of measurement in quality improvement (QI) initiatives is often poor. Better guidance on "what good looks like" might help to mitigate some of the problems. We report a consensus-building...

Mapping outcomes in quality improvement and system design activities
BACKGROUND: Whether explicit or implicit, models of value are fundamental in quality improvement (QI) initiatives. They embody the desirability of the impact of interventions-with either foresight or hindsight. Increasingly...

A think-aloud method of investigating translanguaging strategies in learning Chinese characters
Asian scripts that are significantly different from Roman-derived alphabets usually impose difficulties in learning. Translanguaging has therefore been explored as a pedagogical tool for the language classroom, including...
Progress towards understanding protein S-acylation
S-acylation, also known as S-palmitoylation or palmitoylation, is a reversible post-translational lipid modification in which long chain fatty acid, usually the 16-carbon palmitate, covalently attaches to a cysteine residue(s)...
Universal Arbitrage-free Estimation of State Price Density
Given the valuable information content of Arrow-Debreu prices, the recovery of a well behaved state price density is of considerable importance. However, this is a non-trivial task due to data limitation and the complex...
How Does User Social Network Improve Innovation Outcomes on a Virtual Innovation Platform?
Previous studies demonstrate that online interactive relations can help improve users' innovation outcomes, yet few studies have investigated how they influence user innovation. This paper builds a social network based on users'...

Governmental subsidy plan modeling and optimization for liquefied natural gas as fuel for maritime transportation
Environmental concerns are currently a major issue in the maritime transportation industry. A practical approach to implementing green maritime transportation is to adopt liquefied natural gas (LNG) as marine fuel. Government...

Process framework for innovation through tradition and its antecedents in rural heritage B&B
Purpose Innovation through tradition (ITT) is an increasingly important area of research particularly in the creative and cultural industries. The...
A Golgi and tonoplast localized S-acyl transferase is involved in cell expansion, cell division, vascular patterning and fertility in Arabidopsis
Summary: S-acylation of eukaryotic proteins is the reversible attachment of palmitic or stearic acid to cysteine residues, catalysed by protein S-acyl transferases that share an Asp-His-His-Cys (DHHC) motif. Previous evidence...
Research on the Practical Logic Model of Knowledge-Based Live Commerce Streamer
In recent years, with the increasing homogenization of competition among live commerce streamers, the industry ecology has been deteriorating. As a rising star in the field of livestreaming, knowledge-based streamers have...

Cross-depiction problem
The cross-depiction is the recognition -- and synthesis -- of objects whether they are photographed, painted, drawn, etc. It is a significant yet under-researched problem. Emulating the remarkable human ability to recognise and...

Tracing the origin of heterogeneity and symmetry breaking in the early mammalian embryo.
A fundamental question in developmental and stem cell biology concerns the origin and nature of signals that initiate asymmetry leading to pattern formation and self-organization. Instead of having prominent pre-patterning...
An Invariant Arginine in Common with MHC Class II Allows Extension at the C-Terminal End of Peptides Bound to Chicken MHC Class I.
