Astronomers, she says, now have a big task ahead, carrying out observations to explore how the planet develops as well as tracing its orbit around the star, a journey thought to take about 120 years for the planet to complete.
This paper builds upon existing management control theory, mostly focused on established organizations, and existing predictions based on extended field observations to explore how these systems are adopted within growing firms.
Dalton takes the reader on a different kind of journey by using Lewis and Clark's natural-history observations to explore in layman's terms a dazzling assortment of topics in current biology, ranging from genetic engineering and plant physiology to community ecology, ecosystem management, and global climate change.
We used observations to explore and understand actual practice in natural settings.
We included qualitative studies that used interviews, focus groups, or observations to explore patient and carer preferences for kidney dialysis modality, transplantation, or palliative care.
We exploited these observations to explore the impact that mutation of the CCT domain Leu502 residue had, by generating knock-in mice on an inbred C57BL/6J background, in which the Leu502 CCT domain residue was changed to Ala (Fig. 2A).
We used interviews, document review and direct observation to explore how improved chronic illness care developed in one practice.
Further studies with a longitudinal design are needed to confirm this observation, to explore the underlying mechanism and to quantify more precisely the delayed effects of exposure.
This study adopted long-term observation to explore the association between the scope and intensity of QI activities and hospital performance, and also took the time-lag and neighborhood effect of QI activities into account when evaluating hospital performance and QI activities adoption.
A simple mathematical model is proposed to interpret the observations and to explore the impact of specific synaptic dysfunctions on network activity.
