The initial schemes were small and near pastoral halts like Rayners Lane.
During a pilot study (see below), some amendments to our initial schemes were made.
Initial schemes were based only on password [ 1– 4], then schemes were based on smart card and password [ 5– 13], and reliability of biometrics authentication over traditional password-based authentication gave rise to biometrics-based user authentication schemes [ 14– 20].
To reduce computational cost, a modified additive operator splitting (AOS) algorithm is developed to address diffusion equations defined on irregular domains and multi-initial scheme is used to speed up the convergence rate.
Once the initial coding scheme was finalized, the codes were sorted based on how closely related they were to one another.
The initial coding scheme was developed by the whole research team, based on reading, discussion and preliminary coding of the first three interviews.
The initial coding scheme was condensed and the rough analysis and a rough draft were tested via member checks with two members of the physician groups and five members from the parent focus groups for input and comment [ 35].
The initial coding scheme was drawn up through a combination of themes emerging from the data, pre-defined areas of interest identified from the main intervention and from anthropological theory.
The first author applied these codes to the birth narratives using Atlas.ti software (version 7.0, Scientific Software Development GmbH, Eden Prairie, MN), during which the initial coding scheme was modified and additional codes were added.
The initial coding scheme was informed by concepts and themes from Andragogy and Social Cognitive theory, and Edward M. Giesbrecht parsed the content assigning codes to each discrete element, with emergent codes being integrated after each subsequent focus group.
