Factors influencing normalisation and sustainment of the Birmingham Symptom-specific Obstetric Triage System (BSOTS): a qualitative implementation evaluation study with UK maternity health professionals [PDF]
Background Maternity triage is the emergency portal to access maternity services for pregnant or newly postnatal women experiencing unexpected complications or concerns. Traditionally women were seen in the order in which they attended maternity services

Quantitative multiple criteria decision aid (MCDA) methods of evaluation gain increasing popularity among researchers. The idea of the methods is to comprise values ofcriteria characterising each object into a single non-dimensional cumulative criterion,

Semantic analysis of normalisation by evaluation for typed lambda calculus [PDF]
AbstractThis paper studies normalisation by evaluation for typed lambda calculus from a categorical and algebraic viewpoint. The first part of the paper analyses the lambda definability result of Jung and Tiuryn via Kripke logical relations and shows how it can be adapted to unify definability and normalisation, yielding an extensional normalisation ...

Embedding the ‘CoolCuddle’ intervention for infants undergoing therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy in NICU: an evaluation using normalisation process theory [PDF]
Objectives Newborn infants exposed to lack of oxygen and blood flow to the brain around birth may develop brain dysfunction (hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy—HIE).

A compiled implementation of normalisation by evaluation [PDF]
AbstractWe present a novel compiled approach to Normalisation by Evaluation (NBE) for ML-like languages. It supports efficient normalisation of open λ-terms with respect to β-reduction and rewrite rules. We have implemented NBE and show both a detailed formal model of our implementation and its verification in Isabelle.

The Simple Type Theory of Normalisation by Evaluation
AbstractWe develop the type theory of the Normalisation by Evaluation (NbE) algorithm for the λ-calculus in the simply-typed case. In particular, we show that the algorithm computes long β(η)-normal forms by means of Plotkin's call-by-name and call-by-value β-evaluation semantics. This is noteworthy (i) as the algorithm decides full βη-equality and (ii)

Evaluation of extraction and normalisation strategies for the analysis of lipids in placental vessels [PDF]
The analysis of lipids in tough or fibrous biological tissues can be challenging due to difficulties in obtaining a representative sample following homogenisation of the tissue. Furthermore, the choice of normalisation method can have a major effect on the quality of quantitative results.

Normalisation process theory: a framework for developing, evaluating and implementing complex interventions [PDF]
Background The past decade has seen considerable interest in the development and evaluation of complex interventions to improve health. Such interventions can only have a significant impact on health and health care if they are shown to be effective when

3D Evaluation of fine-scale normalised DSMs in urban settings
Humankind often needs to accurately model, identify and spatially quantify aboveground phenomena on the Earth’s surface for informed decision-making. Height data derived from digital elevation models (DEMs) is often used to achieve this. This study conducted a deterministic assessment of three normalised digital surface models (nDSMs) of different ...

Coherence and normalisation-by-evaluation for bicategorical cartesian closed structure [PDF]
We present two proofs of coherence for cartesian closed bicat- egories. Precisely, we show that in the free cartesian closed bicategory on a set of objects there is at most one structural 2-cell between any parallel pair of 1-cells. We thereby reduce the difficulty of constructing structure in arbitrary cartesian closed bicategories to the level of 1 ...
