BACKGROUND Health promotion interventions are often complex and not easily transferable from one setting to another. The objective of this article is to present the development of a tool to analyze the transferability of these interventions and to support their development and adaptation to new settings. METHODS The concept mapping (CM) method was used. CM is helpful for generating a list of ...

Previously, we described a coarse-graining method for creating local density-dependent implicit solvent (DDIS) potentials that reproduce the radial distribution function (RDF) and solute excess chemical potential across a range of particle concentrations [E. C. Allen and G. C. Rutledge, J. Chem. Phys. 128, 154115 (2008)]. In this work, we test the transferability of these potentials, derived fr...

AIMS To identify different types of models used in economic evaluations of smoking cessation, analyse the quality of the included models examining their attributes and ascertain their transferability to a new context. METHODS A systematic review of the literature on the economic evaluation of smoking cessation interventions published between 1996 and April 2015, identified via Medline, EMBASE...

Why do firms diversify into unrelated product markets? Internal labor markets allow firms to reallocate workers in response to industry shocks. They also strengthen workers’ incentives to invest in transferable, productivity-enhancing skills. Thus, the transferability of human capital can be a source of merger synergies. To test this hypothesis, we construct an index of human capital transferab...

Predictive models can help clarify the distribution of poorly known species but should display strong transferability when applied to independent data. Nevertheless, model transferability for threatened tropical species is poorly studied. We built models predicting the incidence of the critically endangered Bengal Florican (Houbaropsis bengalensis) within the Tonle Sap (TLS) floodplain, Cambodi...

Under the influence of a new medium, a genre may evolve into variants of the original genre or even into new genre. Genre, even through such evolution, are normally characterized by the tuple, , and little attention is paid to the functionality afforded by the new medium. The combination of the computer and the Internet, however, has resulted in the emergence of cybergenre, a new...

In the ESP tradition, genre is often defined as “structured communicative events engaged in by specific discourse communities whose members share broad communicative purposes.” ESP genre research has generated numerous descriptions and explanations of discipline-specific genre exemplars and has produced various pedagogical proposals. However, what learners learn from these genre descriptions an...

The transferability of a measurement protocol from one laboratory to another is an important feature of any mature, standardised protocol. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)-tooth dosimetry technique that was developed in Scientific Center for Radiation Medicine, AMS, Ukraine (SCRM) for routine dosimetry of Chernobyl liquidators has demonstrated consistent results in several inter-labora...

We investigate the uses and limitations of MFCC analysis for feature extraction from music files in the domain of genre recognition. Intra-genre and Inter-genre classification is explored. We implement a method of genre classification based on MFCC extraction, K-means clustering, and KNN analysis. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method through testing, yielding a 99% accuracy rate.

This paper contributes to a facet from the area of Web Information Retrieval that has recently received much attention: The satisfaction of a user’s personal information need with respect to text type, presentation type, or information quality. We imply that such properties can be quantified for all kinds of Web documents, and we subsume them under the term “Web genre” or “genre”. Recent survey...
