This paper uses discrete choice models, supported by GIS data, to analyse the National LandUseDatabase, a register ofmore than 21,000 English brownfields—previously used sites with orwithout contamination that are currently unused or underused. Using spatial discrete choice models, including the first application of a spatial probit latent class model with class-specific neighbourhood effects, ...

BACKGROUND Clinical prediction models (CPMs) are increasingly deployed to support healthcare decisions but they are derived inconsistently, in part due to limited data. An emerging alternative is to aggregate existing CPMs developed for similar settings and outcomes. This simulation study aimed to investigate the impact of between-population-heterogeneity and sample size on aggregating existing...

Since the turn of century, successive Belgian governments have increasingly sold assets its real estate portfolio in order to balance national budget. Against backdrop this domestic policy, Ministry Foreign Affairs launched an extensive redevelopment embassy premises Tokyo 2006. This article questions what extent financial triggers incentivised launch building project and identifies ramificatio...

Decision makers involved in brownfields redevelopment and long-term stewardship must consider environmental conditions, future-use potential, site ownership, area infrastructure, funding resources, cost recovery, regulations, risk and liability management, community relations, and expected return on investment in a comprehensive and integrated fashion to achieve desired results. Successful brow...

The purpose of this study was to document the redesign of an existing doctoral reading course for online environment. This design process includes contributions from van Merriënboer’s 4C/ID model and Frick’s Totally Integrated Education (TIE) theory, and the redevelopment of course objectives to meet strategic goals within the doctoral program.

Physiol. 44): H744–H750, 1998.— The goal of this study was to determine whether Ca21 plays a role in regulating tension development kinetics in intact cardiac muscle. In cardiac muscle, this fundamental iss...
