Acceptability of a carbon monoxide monitoring feature of a smoking cessation mobile application: a virtual focus group study

BMJ Public Health
Introduction Monitoring exhaled carbon monoxide (CO), a physiological measure of cigarette smoking, can aid cessation. Following a multiphase optimisation strategy for intervention development and evaluation, we gauged the acceptability of CO monitoring ...

A new method for the estimation of variance matrix with prescribed zeros in nonlinear mixed effects models [PDF]

, 2008
We propose a new method for the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) of nonlinear mixed effects models when the variance matrix of Gaussian random effects has a prescribed pattern of zeros (PPZ).

The VISTA spacecraft: Advantages of ICF (Inertial Confinement Fusion) for interplanetary fusions propulsion applications [PDF]

, 1987
Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) is an attractive engine power source for interplanetary manned spacecraft, especially for near-term missions requiring minimum flight duration, because ICF has inherent high power-to-mass ratios and high specific ...
