Preliminary trials carried out during the commissioning phase have proved its suitability for the remote handling maintainability of the cassette, and further full remote trials are planned in the near future.
When trials that were not sufficiently vivid or consistent were excluded, this resulted in an average of 11.58 (SD 0.30) trials for each of the three recent memories and an average of 10.14 (SD 0.89) for each of the 3 remote memories, with a mean of 63 (33 recent and 30 remote) trials in total per participant that were entered into the MVPA analysis.
In the clinic, an administrator telephoned a remote trials unit that used random computer sequence selection of stratified blocks with a 2 1 ratio to randomly assign participants to receive stratified primary care management (intervention, n=568) or current best practice (in line with standard physiotherapy; control group, n=283).

The success of remote clinical trial enrollment will likely depend on specific requirements of the trial.
The allocation ratio will be 1 1 in blocks of 2. Randomization will be performed at a site remote from trial location.
To prevent selection bias, participants will be randomly allocated to groups via concealed allocation sequence, implemented by a remote clinical trial centre.
Testing consisted of three sessions: acquisition and probe trials (day 1-day 8), reversal acquisition and reversal probe trials (day 9-day 16), and remote probe trials (day 37). 1 week prior to testing, all mice were handled daily for 5 min and then were placed in a pan of shallow water (1 cm) for 30 s to acclimate them to water.
Worryingly, PDF ballots have been used in remote voting trials, and, in some cases in binding elections in the U.S. over the past decade.
The feasibility of the bayonet concept has been assessed and the remote handling trials carried out during 2003 have successfully demonstrated the maintainability requirements and procedures specification.
