Characterising and modelling the mechanical behaviour of biological soft tissues is an essential step in the development of predictive computational models to assist research for a wide range of applications in medicine, biology, tissue engineering, pharmaceutics, consumer goods, cosmetics, transport or military.
However, they also highlight a need for 'best practice' standards to assist research teams to understand, implement and evaluate PI.
Our findings not only provide important evidence about value consensus, but also highlight a need for 'best practice' standards to assist research teams in the PI process.
Thanks to Sam Parker at Harvard University, Elizabeth G. Burgess at the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center and Elizabeth Varon at the University of Virginia for assisting my research.
In each hospital a core audit team was constituted, consisting of a senior physician involved in obstetric care and a senior midwife; both received a financial incentive for assisting the research activities.
Special thanks to Dr. Brigitte de Mozota, Dr. Gjoko Muratovski, Dr. Tore Kristensen and Finn Birger Lie for assisting with design research.
For instance, the genome sequence of the model grass Brachypodium distachyon (hereafter Brachypodium) [ 7] has shown potential for assisting oat genomics research because their genomes share large blocks of synteny despite differences in genome size and ploidy [ 8].
The approach is designed to be useful for both accountability purposes and for assisting in better employing research to contribute to better action for health.
FLOPER is the "Fuzzy LOgic Programming Environment for Research" designed in our research group for assisting the development of real-world applications where fuzzy logic might play an important role.
