However, by relying on the assumption of the diffusion of change, a change agent was unable to gain the acceptance of advisers to the requirements.
All the cases of policy change for the year 2005, excluding those from jurisdictions and services from cases 1 and 2; The stratification of samples by year is to ensure that we are observing different waves of policy change (as there tends to be diffusion of these changes from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and "generations" of policy changes).
The leaders of these initiatives have had to agitate to convince stakeholders of the need for change, innovate by developing new standards and certification systems, and orchestrate the diffusion of these changes to have an impact.
The diffusion of atoms changes the morphology of particles in sintering.
Predominantly continuous models rely primarily on differential equations to describe processes such as diffusion of molecules, changes in tumor cell density and invasion of tumor cells into the surrounding tissue [4] [9].
In addition to these local "host" factors, the Breakthrough Series (BTS) Collaborative learning system used in this project was a central mechanism for engaging front line health care providers in local innovation that led to improvements and facilitated rapid diffusion of successful changes.
It has been predicted that those sites anchoring chromosomes to membranes behave as topological barriers, preventing the rotation of the DNA helix strands around each other and thus impeding the diffusion of topological changes (Postow et al., 2004; Wang, 2002).
Using Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA), we find that the diffusion of political change is constrained by infrastructure: political change diffuses from one municipality to the next only when connected by a major highway an important distinguishing feature in landscapes with difficult terrain.
Diffusion of lexical change in social media.
In this paper, by mapping the diffusion of climate change within press media and academic peer-reviewed publications, I argue that understanding the existing lag in business scholarship engagement requires a fundamental understanding of processes that either hinder or lead to the diffusion of new ideas.
