Demand-based pricing is underused in many service industries, because customers are believed to perceive such pricing as unfair. Fencing can be highly effective in improving the perceived fairness of demand-based pricing. In this study, five fences were explored in a restaurant context across three countries (Singapore, Sweden, and the United States). Demand-based pricing in the form of coupons...

A dose titration study was conducted to determine the dosage of florfenicol (FFC) in feed to control Streptococcus iniae-associated mortality in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. Six tanks were assigned to each of five treatments: (1) not challenged with S. iniae and fed unmedicated feed; (2) challenged with S. iniae by injection and fed unmedicated feed; (3) challenged with S. iniae and give...

Fast Field-Cycling (FFC) is a technique used in NMR since the 1970s [1], and more recently in MRI [2]. It involves changing the strength of the main magnetic field during the pulse sequence, typically during polarisation, evolution and detection. FFC NMR offers many possibilities since it allows using low evolution fields to investigate the dispersion of the relaxation rate (R1), and switching ...

The purpose of this study was to describe falls and injuries within assisted living (AL) communities and determine whether a function-focused care (FFC) intervention increased the risk of falls and/or injuries. This was a secondary data analysis using data from a 12-month cluster-randomized controlled trial in which four AL communities were matched based on ownership and randomly assigned to tr...

NMR relaxometry refers to the measurement of relaxation times (usually T1) as a function of magnetic field strength. It is usually accomplished using fast field-cycling (FFC), in which the magnetic field is switched rapidly between levels during the pulse sequence. By switching the magnetic field, the nuclear spins can “evolve” at a chosen magnetic field strength, after which the magnetic field...

In 2014, a series of reforms, called as the Health Sector Evolution Plan (HSEP), was launched in the health system of Iran in a stepwise process. HSEP was mainly based on the fifth 5-year health development national strategies (2011-2016). It included different interventions to: increase population coverage of basic health insurance, increase quality of care in the Ministry of Health and Medica...
