Given the existence of an abstract function that expects data collection instructions from the site manager as input, and outputs JSON encoded measurements, additional data sources could be facilitated by implementing new instances of the function Scalability The ingestion process can be scaled horizontally by deploying additional ingestion engines across machines and networks.
Feelings of distrust toward research and randomisation, negative perceptions and fear of a lack of anonymity and of being "x-rayed" are to be expected during data collection and during the intervention itself.
For this reasons, and in line with previous research [ 45, 38], we expect each data collection team to spend three consecutive days per each health facility.
Recent advances in instrumentation, that employ multi-channel detector systems and fast interferometry, allow the collection of such spectral datasets within a matter of minutes, and the continuing improvements in technology are expected to reduce data collection times dramatically.
As the recruitment was smaller than expected, by June 2012, data collection was extended until 31 December 2012, and first-year family medicine residents and their tutors were also invited to participate.
Hence, we expect a long data collection period.
Allowing for 10% non-participation for the pre-intervention testing, we expect the first data collection to include 540 children (270 in the control schools and 270 in the intervention schools).
They refused, citing "grave misgivings" and noting that at any rate the level of data collection expected was "impossible in principle". Tut tut!
