Overheating in buildings: lessons from research

Quality collaboratives: lessons from research.

Quality improvement collaboratives are increasingly being used in many countries to achieve rapid improvements in health care. However, there is little independent evidence that they are more cost effective than other methods, and little knowledge about how they could be made more effective. A number of systematic evaluations are being performed by researchers in North America, the UK, and Swed...

Lessons from experimental MANET research

After almost a decade of research into ad hoc networking, MANET technology has not yet affected our way of using wireless networks. In this paper we discuss lessons to draw and back them with experiences from our experimental work. We find that simulations have to be complemented to a much higher degree by real-world experiments, that there is a lack of mature implementations and integration an...

Lessons learnt from errors in radiotherapy centers

Background: The purpose of this work is to discover and analyze errors and incidents in some radiotherapy centers, and to introduce methods that could reduce their occurrences, especially those which had happened due to the use of improper and inadequate equipment. This work is a first step toward clarifying the role of education in a risk-conscious culture, and changing the attitude of radioth...

SLPAT in practice: lessons from translational research

The talk will distil experience and results from several projects, over more than a decade, which have researched and developed the application of speech recognition as an input modality for assistive technology (AT). Current interfaces to AT for people with severe physical disabilities, such as switch-scanning, can be prohibitively slow and tiring to use. Many people with severe physical disab...

Care Markets in England: Lessons from Research
