The feasibility study has been prescribed and described as an important step in information system development. One of the key issues pertaining to the feasibility study is. its time of preparation and presentation during the system development life cycle. Systems analysis and design texts suggest different timings for its preparation and presentation; informal survey of forty seven organizatio...

F E W SCIENTISTS unequivocally maintain that life can exist on Venus. 6,11,2~ In fact, several authors have questioned the plausibility of life or, that planet. 1,x~,ls,2~ Impending manned space voyages increase the importance of conducting investigations into the possibility of life existing there, provided that such studies are indeed feasible and likely to produce information of value.

Two feasibility studies were undertaken to determine how to use video streaming with other technologies over IP. One involved wireless technology to stream video live from the 2001 AMIA Symposium in Washington, DC. The other involved simultaneously webcasting a multipoint videoconference to a viewing audience that could communicate with the conference panelist using chat. The results of these t...

In this article, we highlight the distinctive features of a feasibility study, identify the main objectives and guiding questions of a feasibility study, and illustrate the use of these objectives. We synthesized the research methods literature related to feasibility studies to identify five overarching objectives of feasibility studies that focus on social and behavioral interventions. Feasibi...

INTRODUCTION The stepped-wedge cluster randomised trial (SW-CRT) is a complex design, for which many decisions about key design parameters must be made during the planning. These include the number of steps and the duration of time needed to embed the intervention. Feasibility studies are likely to be useful for informing these decisions and increasing the likelihood of the main trial's success...

     The purpose of the present study was to explore the passive and electrically assisted transdermal transport of Granisetron hydrochloride (GRA) in solution and gel formulation through iontophoresis and also the feasibility of delivering therapeutic amounts of drug for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. In this study, iontophoretic permeation of GRA through guinea pig...
