The PROMIS process [ 12], beginning with item improvement, is directed at enabling instruments that are more patient-centered, validly translatable, have better clarity in diversely educated groups, have less Differential Item Functioning (DIF) across subgroups and are focused on supporting efficiency in clinical research.
As efforts progress to systematically map the contribution of human genetic variation to healthy and disease phenotypes, and to integrate it with genome functional resources, the development of platforms like ours will become essential enabling instruments for the integration and cross-validation of genetic discoveries within the scientific community.
The penny is an institutionally-qualified enabling instrument that I can use for specific sorts of transactions.
Access to software tools for interactive data reduction, visualisation and analysis during a neutron scattering experiment enables instrument users to make informed decisions regarding the direction and success of their experiment.
The participation of stakeholders in policy-making is seen as an enabling instrument to successful policy implementation.
The appearance of high-quality, low-cost silicon transistors in the early 1960s enabled electronic instrument designers to incorporate all the basic synthesizer features in relatively small, convenient instruments.
Mr. Shaheen had been attracted by the same marimba, to which he gave an Arab tinge not so much with his rhythmic models as by adding quarter-tones that enabled the instrument to function in Levantine modes.
Because it enables keyboard instruments to play in all keys with minimal flaws in intonation, equal temperament replaced earlier tuning systems that were based on acoustically pure intervals, that is, intervals that occur naturally in the overtone series.
A combination of formal and informal processes can be used to enable future instruments and methods.
Enabling our instruments: accommodation, universal design, and access to participation in research.
