HRQOL is a multidimensional concept comprised of several domains, including physical/biological factors, symptom status, functional status, health perceptions, and overall well-being [ 8].
The SF-36 is brief, disease-generic and readily available free of charge (version 1.0); despite critiques of its measurement properties [ 26– 30] its ubiquity and its conceptualization of health as a well-rounded concept comprised of eight domains make it a suitable first candidate for this investigation.
The family of Generation-IV reactor concepts comprises of multiple promising designs, one of which is the molten salt reactor.
However, like access to healthcare, continuity and coordinated care is a multi-dimensional concept, comprising of several components, such as health partnerships, networking, collaboration, and knowledge transfer [ 25].
The concept comprises administration of free flowing clusters of negatively charged microbubbles and positively charged microdroplets.
It's a concept prototype comprised of three separate operating systems all working towards the same goal: air purification.
Self-esteem, a global and complex concept, is comprised of both appraisal of self-worth based on personal achievements and anticipation of evaluation by others [ 1, 2].
Health literacy is a multi-dimensional concept comprising a range of cognitive, affective, social, and personal skills and attributes.
Lindeberg (1997) proposed a non-separable spatio-temporal scale-space concept comprising the notion of velocity-adapted derivatives for a continuous model based on a Gaussian spatio-temporal scale-space and for a semi-discrete time-causal model; see also Lindeberg (2001) for a more detailed description of the corresponding spatio-temporal scale-space theory.
Methods: Since metallic indium is unfit for the manufacture of a brachytherapy source, the feasibility, safety and dosimetric properties of a design concept comprising a linear array of ceramic In2O3 spheres within a thin-walled, superelastic Ni/Ti capsule are investigated.
Their concept comprises the progressive transformation of 1D genomic information to 2D interaction networks and, finally, to the 3D chromatin fractal globule architecture, based on a crude 3D space-filled model of the genome obtained by reverse engineering from RNAPII-mediated chromatin interaction data.
