Three questionnaires will be administered at this visit - the EQ-5D quality of life (QoL) questionnaire, which has been widely used across a number of clinical settings [ 46, 47]; a previously validated warfarin knowledge questionnaire, the Oral Anticoagulation Knowledge (OAK) test [ 48]; and a modified Tool for Adherence Behaviour Screening (TABS) survey [ 49].
A modified Cochrane tool for randomised controlled trials and a modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for observational studies were used to assess bias.
It carries the spine from branch to branch and modifies its tools for use in different scenarios.
It may not be punk but it is at least a light-hearted stab at what the Situationists called detournement, modifying the tools for new ends (and Situationism mattered to both the manager of Television and the Sex Pistols).
A modified HRQOL tool for use in children (Kid's ITP Tool) was recently developed and validated [ 30].
During the 2010/2011 winter the H1N1 influenza pandemic placed increased demand on critical care services, prompting our department to devise a modified triage tool for the ICU to be implemented at a time of exceptional bed crisis [ 1].
Results for learning from scratch, learning initialized by human demonstration, as well as for modifying the tool for the learned DMPs are presented.
Second, by collecting continuous data on their behavior, we also asked whether the chimpanzees first (intentionally) modified their tools prior to probing for food or whether such modifications occurred after tool use, possibly as a by-product of chewing and eating the food from the tools.
This is the first transcriptional regulatory system developed for the Bacteroides that has incorporated components from the Proteobacteria and demonstrates the feasibility of modifying existing genetic tools for use in these organisms.
Briefly, we rated each study as being of high, medium, or low ROB by using a modified Cochrane ROB tool (33) for controlled intervention studies, which was used previously in a systematic review for Dietary Reference Intake values (34), and a modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale (35) for observational studies.
