The Quality of Quality Metrics—Reply [PDF]
Respiratory Care, 2017 In reply: Mr Chatburn's letter to the Editor highlights some important points about our paper.[1][1] Let's first start with barotrauma. Barotrauma is used to describe the manifestations of extra-alveolar air during mechanical ventilation often associated with high airway pressures.[2][2 ...

A Conceptual Model of Service Quality and Its Implications for Future Research
, 1985 The attainment of quality in products and services has become a pivotal concern of the 1980s. While quality in tangible goods has been described and measured by marketers, quality in services is largely undefined and unresearched.

Product Quality and Worker Quality [PDF]
, 1995 We study the relation between product quality and worker quality using an economic model that, under certain conditions, provides a direct link between product price, product quality and work-force quality. Our measures of product quality are the evolution in the detailed product price relative to its product group, and the level of the product price ...

Defining quality and quality improvement [PDF]
Clinical Medicine, 2010 Within the NHS the introduction of a statutory duty of quality in 1999 followed by clinical governance, national standards and regulatory frameworks have represented major steps towards delivering good quality healthcare. Most recently, government policy has shifted its focus away from targets and activity towards patient experience and outcomes.

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.

occumb: An R package for site occupancy modeling of eDNA metabarcoding data
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study introduces a new R package, occumb, for the convenient application of site occupancy modeling using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data. We outline a data analysis workflow, including data setup, model fitting, model assessment, and comparison of potential study settings based on model predictions, all of which can be performed using
