1 Background UNIX networking has a rich history. The TCP/IP protocol suite was first implemented by BBN using Sockets under a DARPA research project on 4.1aBSD and then incorporated by the CSRG into 4.2BSD [? ]. Lachmann and Associates (Legent) subsequently implemented one of the first TCP/IP protocol suite based on the Transport Layer Interface (TLI) [? ] and STREAMS [? ]. Two other predominan...

A common way to workaround the drawbacks of higher-level communication toolkits is to program applications using lower-level mechanisms such as Sockets and System V TLI. These mechanisms are widely available under a variety of operating systems. Programming at this level provides the benefit of flexibility and performance, while shielding developers from the details of network and transport lay...

In a planned missing design, the nonresponses occur according to researcher’s will, with goal of increasing data quality and avoiding overly extensive questionnaires. When adjusting structural equation model data, there are different criteria evaluate how theoretical fits observed root mean square error approximation (RMSEA), standardized residual (SRMR), comparative fit index (CFI) Tucker–Lewi...

BACKGROUND Evaluation of patients' health care experiences is central to measuring patient-centred care. However, different instruments tend to be used at the hospital or departmental level but rarely both, leading to a lack of standardization of patient experience measures. OBJECTIVE To validate the Consumer Quality Index (CQI) Inpatient Hospital Care for use on both department and hospital ...

BACKGROUND Short and valid instruments for measuring factors facilitating or hindering implementation efforts are called for. This article describes (1) the adaptation of a shorter version of the Evidence-based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS-50 items), and (2) the psychometric properties of the shortened version in both US and Norwegian data. METHODS The US participants were mental health ser...
