The assessment of Small Hydro Power (SHP) sites for project planning and development represents a relatively high proportion of overall cost. A high level of experience and expertise is required to accurately conduct this multidimensional assessment at both pre-feasibility and feasibility analysis stage. A variety of multi-criteria decision analysis or making (MCDA or MCDM) methods as well as c...

BACKGROUND Although multi-sector policy is a promising strategy to create environments that stimulate physical activity among children, little is known about the feasibility of such a multi-sector policy approach. The aims of this study were: to identify a set of tangible (multi-sector) policy measures at the local level that address environmental characteristics related to physical activity am...

This article investigates into the feasibility of using gamma radiation Compton backscatter spectra as a means of material characterization, with the view to developing a portable, hand held probe for investigative purposes such as searching for illicit substances hidden in wall or car door cavities.

BACKGROUND In the choice and definition of quality of care indicators, there may be an inherent tension between feasibility, generally enhanced by simplicity, and validity, generally enhanced by accounting for clinical complexity. OBJECTIVE To study the process of developing quality indicators using an expert panel and analyze the tension between feasibility and validity. DESIGN AND PARTICI...

This paper puts forward the implementation feasibility as the fourth dimension parameter to balance 3 d parameters of training quality, cost and time aiming at the selection of rural in-service teacher training scheme. It designs the implementation feasibility and the hierarchical structure model of implementation feasibility index. It puts forward implementation feasibility probability of ever...
