The third stage involved determination of key clinical propositions by expert consensus employing a Delphi approach.
This requires identification of the source of the vibrations via an expert system, determination of the required phase angles and amplitudes for the correction forces, and application of the desired control signals to the piezoelectric actuators.
BN modeling in recent studies can be summarized as comprising 3 steps: (1) the selection of indicators as network nodes; (2) the manual establishment of network structure based on casual analysis among nodes; and (3) the determination of network parameters according to expert knowledge.
However, as long as the parental species and their morphological diversity are known, correct determination of polymorphic hybrids by an expert taxonomist is still feasible [ 36, 97].
We followed the standard methodological process of translation by two professional translators, consensus by a review committee, determination of conceptual equivalence by three expert groups, and a pre-test with nurses.
