Their goal is not only to improve the health of captive cetaceans like Naku, but also to develop a powerful, unobtrusive technique for studying them.
A relatively unobtrusive method for studying the function of central regulation of the cardiovascular system is by analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), allowing dissection of the contributions of the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the ANS.
This paper studies an unobtrusive, integrated solar chimney design in a detached single family home.
Behavioural responses (park attendance, spatio-temporal user patterns) and thermal perception of resting park visitors were studied through unobtrusive observations (N = 11337) and surveys (N = 317).
This paper reports on the process of applying for research ethics approval for a relatively straightforward, unobtrusive, non-interventionist health promotion study.
However, because of our focus group discussions and individual interviews, HCW were aware of the study, which made an unobtrusive observation on compliance with the recommended guidelines for hand hygiene impossible.
This study observed in an unobtrusive manner the naturally occurring events that took place in California baccalaureate schools of nursing while effective nurse educators taught their didactic nursing courses.
Internet-based recording systems are particularly attractive for assembling longitudinal data, since participants can submit data at their own convenience, as well as allowing the incorporation of inexpensive and unobtrusive electronic reminder systems into the study design and such systems are highly scalable.
Our use of such technologies is also having a much less visible, but not less significant, consequence: the collection on a massive scale of extremely detailed data on social behavior is providing a unique and unprecedented opportunity to observe and study social phenomena in a completely unobtrusive way.
This study was highly naturalistic, comprising an unobtrusive evaluation of a national system in which student health services send emails to university students.
