This article introduces the Multidimensional Research Assessment Matrix of scientific output. Its base notion holds that the choice of metrics to be applied in a research assessment process depends upon the unit of assessment, the research dimension to be assessed, and the purposes and policy context of the assessment. An indicator may by highly useful within one assessment process, but less so...

BACKGROUND indirect anthropometrical measurements of the height of the upper lip and length of the philtrum. AIM to describe the measurements of the height of the upper lip and length of the philtrum, extracted from video x-rays, in children with mixed dentition, relating these measurements to facial typology--medium and long-, to occlusion--Angle's class I and II--and to the rest position of...

BACKGROUND Maternal smoking can cause health complications in pregnancy. Particulate matter (PM2.5) metrics applied to second hand smoke (SHS) concentrations provide indoor air quality (IAQ) measurements and have been used to promote smoking behaviour change among parents of young children. Here, we present the qualitative results from a study designed to use IAQ measurements to help pregnant w...

This article describes two business cases and their strategies by using a strategy orientation and typology framework.

INTRODUCTION Lesch's typology differentiates alcoholics into different treatment response subgroups. The effects of ethanol are mediated, to an important extent, via the GABA-ergic system. MATERIAL AND METHODS We have evaluated the linkage disequilibrium patterns and haplotype frequencies of GABRG1 and GABRA2 genes in 133 alcoholics divided according to Lesch's typology and in 145 matched con...

This paper presents a proposal for a grammar error typology oriented towards the development of an automatic grammar and style checker. Cognitively– motivated errors have been considered the first and foremost objective. In particular, in the area of grammar checking, the granularity of the error typology greatly influences the adequacy of the error messages shown to the final user during the d...

In homelessness research and policymaking, it seems to be axiomatic that single adults experience 3 temporally based types of homelessness: chronic, episodic, and transitional. We discuss problems with the theorization of this typology and with the research design, data analysis, and time-aggregated conceptualization and measurement of temporality in the empirical work supporting the typology. ...

Supply chain management is a field at the confluence of many other disciplines; it has been studied under a number of perspectives, which has played a role for the crossbreeding of the discipline. In this paper, we propose a typology of supply chain configurations that contributes to tie together terms that have been used disjointedly for describing various forms of supply chain. It also enable...

A number of arguments are given against the traditional word order typology based on the six types SOY, SVO, VSO, VOS, OVS, and OSV, and in favour of an alternative typology based on two binary parameters OV vs. VO and SV vs. VS. The arguments given include ones based on various advantages of collapsing VSO and VOS into a single type, the infrequency of clauses containing a noun subject and nou...
