Long-term scans of activity in home cages were performed to determine abnormalities in motor coordination and circadian activity.
Linear regressions were used to determine if CSA or TCV calculated from the term equivalent scan (PMA at scan ≥36 weeks; n = 27) were related to Bayley-III composite scores, controlling for PMA at scan.
For the 13 infants with at least two scans, including a term equivalent scan and available outcome data, an individual scaling exponent was generated.
Partial correlations and linear regressions controlling for PMA at term equivalent scan were used to explore relationships between the individual scaling exponents and composite scores of the Bayley-III.
: Vertical Scanning Interferometry (Scanning White Light Interferometry), also known by the ISO term Coherence Scanning Interferometry or CSI, is an example of low-coherence interferometry, which exploits the low coherence of white light.
In the FRESHER project the term horizon scanning is used in a comparatively broad way, meaning a general scanning of different sources like scientific literature, conferences, Foresight projects, online sources etc. without drawing on an existing horizon scanning framework.
In the Wapping newsroom floor it went by other terms - "scan", "tap", "screw" or, simply "do" someone's phone.
