Normalised expression and evaluation of PI tuning rules [PDF]

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2008
Abstract This manuscript addresses the problem of casting the heterogeneous panorama of model-based PI tuning rules into some uniform framework. By adopting convenient normalisations, different rules can be expressed in such a way to allow objectively grounded comparisons.

An application of Extended Normalisation Process Theory in a randomised controlled trial of a complex social intervention: Process evaluation of the Strengthening Families Programme (10–14) in Wales, UK

SSM: Population Health, 2017
Purpose: Process evaluations generate important data on the extent to which interventions are delivered as intended. However, the tendency to focus only on assessment of pre-specified structural aspects of fidelity has been criticised for paying ...

Integrated assessment of environmental impact of Europe in 2010: data sources and extrapolation strategies for calculating normalisation factors [PDF]

The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2015
PurposeAssessing comprehensively the overall environmental impacts of a region remains a major challenge. Within life cycle assessment (LCA), this evaluation is performed calculating normalisation factors (NFs) at different scales.

Selection of reliable reference genes for the normalisation of gene expression levels following time course LPS stimulation of murine bone marrow derived macrophages

BMC Immunology, 2017
Background Macrophages are key players in the initiation, perpetuation and regulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses. They largely perform these roles through modulation of the expression of genes, especially those encoding cytokines ...

Optimising inter-patient image registration for image-based data mining in breast radiotherapy [PDF]

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology
Background and purpose: Image-based data mining (IBDM) requires spatial normalisation to reference anatomy, which is challenging in breast radiotherapy due to variations in the treatment position, breast shape and volume.

Normalised rotation capacity for deformability evaluation of high-performance concrete beams [PDF]

Earthquakes and Structures, 2010
High-strength concrete (HSC) is becoming more popular in the construction of beams and columns of tall buildings because of its higher stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio. However, as HSC is more brittle than normal-strength concrete (NSC), it may adversely affect the flexural ductility and deformability of concrete members.

Evaluation of suitable reference genes for qPCR normalisation of gene expression in a Achilles tendon injury model [PDF]

PLOS ONE
Tendons are one of the major load-bearing tissues in the body; subjected to enormous peak stresses, and thus vulnerable to injury. Cellular responses to tendon injury are complex, involving inflammatory and repair components, with the latter employing both resident and recruited exogenous cell populations.

From Normalisation to Partial Normalisation: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Antiretroviral Treatment in the Current Regime of Undetectable Equals Untransmittable

In the current global discourse on HIV, antiretroviral therapy has been effective in suppressing viral load to an undetectable level and render HIV non-infectious. Central to this discourse is the sociological idea that effective antiretroviral treatment has fostered normalisation of HIV in everyday life.

Co-creation of social innovations for healthy ageing in rural Europe – a process evaluation of a volunteer-led guided conversation toolkit using Normalisation Process Theory (NPT)

Journal of Responsible Innovation
We critically explored the use of Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) in the evaluation of a co-designed intervention toolkit for Healthy Ageing through Innovation in Rural Europe (HAIRE).
