Experimentation: the next step.
نویسنده
چکیده
General practice has entered a period of accelerating change, and those responsible for planning its development now put forward a variety of promising proposals. Unless provision is made for large scale experimentation and scientific evaluation, the direction of future change will be determined not by evidence but by rhetoric. A framework for creating and evaluating a substantial programme of experimentation is suggested. The programme is the logical next step in the process of change which was given impetus by the publication of the government green paper. It should be seen as a professional, moral and political priority.

بررسی عوامل روانشناختی مرتبط با گذر از مراحل مصرف سیگار در نوجوانان
Introduction : Previous studies have suggested that early smoking initiation predicts longer duration of smoking, heavier daily consumption and increased chances of nicotine dependence. The goal of the present study was to examine the effect of psychological factors on three transitions in the adolescent smoking uptake process: from never smoking to experimentation and regular smoking, and fr...
متن کاملPlanning Beyond the Next Trial in Adaptive Experiments: A Dynamic Programming Approach
Experimentation is at the heart of scientific inquiry. In the behavioral and neural sciences, where only a limited number of observations can often be made, it is ideal to design an experiment that leads to the rapid accumulation of information about the phenomenon under study. Adaptive experimentation has the potential to accelerate scientific progress by maximizing inferential gain in such re...

In this paper, we introduce the new class of implicit L-stable generalized hybrid methods for the numerical solution of first order initial value problems. We generalize the hybrid methods with utilize ynv directly in the right hand side of classical hybrid methods. The numerical experimentation showed that our method is considerably more efficient compared to well known methods used for the n...
متن کاملA DIY Self-Experimentation Toolkit for Behavior Change
Within personal informatics and Quantified Self (QS), great emphasis has been placed on creating the systems for gathering and visualizing data to support self-discovery. While this is a vital first step, a logical next step is the development of self-experimentation tools focused on not only tracking but also testing of alternative strategies for behavior change. Many behavior change technolog...
