Port piloting consists of boating out to ships waiting to enter the harbor, climbing a rope ladder to the deck and then standing on the bridge to provide local knowledge, including advice on currents and navigational hazards, as the vessel is steered through the congested waterway to the dock.
Recent advances and key issues for the development of DNA sensors to bridge the knowledge to clinical detection of DNA hybridization emerged as a promising means of diagnostic prediction in genetic research [7, 8].
Especially when data for a mixture of interest are not available (which is often the case), certain default practices have to be used to bridge knowledge gaps, as is the case with the hazard index (based on dose addition), which is used as a screening tool to assess the potential for health hazards resulting from exposure to multiple chemicals in Superfund sites.
A knowledge translation approach was appropriate for this study, as it aimed to bridge the knowledge-to-action gap regarding how to engage disadvantaged populations in the pandemic planning process [ 28, 30].
Adolescents UNICEF-supported research has helped to bridge knowledge gaps on adolescents who are most likely to be exposed to HIV or to transmit it.
Finally, we describe opportunities for technological innovation and ways to bridge existing knowledge gaps to accelerate the development of in situ approaches for microbiome manipulations.
Working from the proposed framework identified by Authors (2016), the I-SLATE framework, shown in Fig. 1, attempts to bridge knowledge systems by standardizing a way in which to generate Indigenous knowledge and to incorporate it in to non-Indigenous curriculum in an authentic and relevant way.
However, the information that can be extracted from surveys is often limited, and there is no direct path to bridge knowledge deduction from survey based approach to simulation based analysis.
Most manuscripts just aim to bridge knowledge gaps, but overwhelming references are always inappropriate to catch real attention, and chains of citations have to be avoided as they move from journal to journal (Hirsch 2005).
More importantly an innovative component of this study is the support and mentoring of health professionals providing psychosocial care as a strategy to bridge knowledge and practice change, while using mixed methodology to study the processes of such clinical practice change.
