BACKGROUND Bottom-up, clinician-conceived and directed clinical intervention research, coupled with collaboration from researcher experts, is conceptually endorsed by the participatory research movement. This report presents the findings of an evaluation of a program in the Veterans Health Administration meant to encourage clinician-driven research by providing resources believed to be critical...

This paper argues that time-series econometrics provides valuable tools and opens exciting research opportunities to marketing researchers. It allows marketing researchers to advance traditional modeling and estimation approaches by incorporating dynamic processes to answer new important research questions. The authors discuss the challenges facing time-series modelers in marketing, provide an ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) functions with wallpaper group symmetry can be written as Fourier series displaying both translational and point-group symmetry. We elaborate the symmetry-adapted Fourier series for each of the 17 wallpaper groups. The symmetry manifests itself through constraints on and relations between the Fourier coefficients. Visualising the equivalencies of Fourier coefficie...

A spatial time series dataset [18, 19] is a collection of time series [3], each referencing a location in a common spatial framework [17]. Finding highly correlated time series from spatial time series datasets collected by satellites, sensor nets, retailers, mobile device servers, and medical instruments on a daily basis is important for many application domains such as epidemiology, ecology, ...

We present results for the high-temperature series expansions of the susceptibility and free energy of the q-state Potts model on a D-dimensional hypercubic lattice ZD for arbitrary values of q. The series are up to order 20 for dimension D1 limit of these series, we estimate the percolation threshold pc and critical ...

a 90 day study was conducted on twenty four indigenous non-descript goats allocated into four groups. they were fed ad libitum basal complete feed constituted rice straw: rhea (60:40) grass hay and concentrate mixture @ 250/animal/day. basal complete feed contain 11.07% dcp and 54.21% tdn. groups were control (t0) basal diet without polyherbal supplementation, treatment 1 (t1) diet with ruchama...
