While the notion of manufacturing capabilities is a long-standing notion in research on operations management, its actual implementation and management has been hardly researched. Five case studies in Malaysia offered the opportunity to examine the practice of manufacturing managers with regard to strategic capability management. The data collection and analysis was structured by using the noti...
In this paper the use of a Hybrid Wireless Mesh Network (HWMN) technologies for the smart grid of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), which enables the collecting of meter data in real-time, was proposed and analyzed. A Google Maps mashup was developed to read the real GIS data from a local utility company and display the locations of the meters and light poles, which can be selected for mo...
OBJECTIVES Low participation rates in the selection of population controls are an increasing concern for the validity of case-control studies worldwide. METHODS We conducted a pilot study to assess two approaches to recruiting population controls in a study of colorectal cancer, including a face-to-face interview and blood sample collection. In the first approach, persons identified through a...
OBJECTIVE To review literature identifying key components for measuring avoidable readmissions, their prevalence, risk factors, and interventions that can reduce potentially avoidable readmissions. DATA SOURCES AND EXTRACTION Literature search using Medline, PubMed and the Cochrane Library up to June 2010, using the terms "avoidable", "preventable", "unplanned", "unnecessary", "readmission", ...
BACKGROUND The Nuremberg code defines the general ethical framework of medical research with participant consent as its cornerstone. In cluster randomized trials (CRT), obtaining participant informed consent raises logistic and methodologic concerns. First, with randomization of large clusters such as geographical areas, obtaining individual informed consent may be impossible. Second, participa...
The hammer throw in athletics has been the subject of published research since the 1980s. This has focused on case studies of individual athletes or small cohorts and has identified a number of key performance indicators such as the speed profile of the hammer during the wind-up phase. To use these key performance indicators with current athletes a bespoke analysis tool is required for frequent...
The National Academy of Science released its report, Stengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward (NRC 2009). An important finding was the increased need for scientific research in the evaluation of methods used in forensic science, such as bias quantification, validation, and estimates of accuracy and precision in different contexts. This article illustrates, using medica...
Using Randomization in Development Economics Research: A Toolkit* This paper is a practical guide (a toolkit) for researchers, students and practitioners wishing to introduce randomization as part of a research design in the field. It first covers the rationale for the use of randomization, as a solution to selection bias and a partial solution to publication biases. Second, it discusses variou...
The purpose of this report is to assess the strengths and limitations of available sensor technologies and their corresponding processing algorithms. The performance of an incident detection system is determined on two levels: data collection technologies and data processing algorithms. Variations in sensor-and-algorithm schemes result in a variety of solutions for incident detection. In this r...
PURPOSE Development and implementation of robust reporting processes to systematically provide quality data to care teams in a timely manner is challenging. National cancer quality measures are useful, but the manual data collection required is resource intensive, and reporting is delayed. We designed a largely automated measurement system with our multidisciplinary cancer care programs (CCPs) ...
