OBJECTIVE To compare two methods of developing short forms of the Malaysian Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-M) measure. METHOD Cross sectional data obtained using the long form of the OHIP-M was used to produce two types of OHIP-M short forms, derived using two different methods; namely regression and item frequency methods. The short version derived using a regression method is known as Reg...

We review the application of the time-dependent close-coupling method to calculate energy and angle differential cross sections for the electron-impact ionization of atoms and molecules. PACS Numbers: 34.80.Dp, 34.80.Gs.

Health impact assessment (HIA) is an approach that has experienced increased activity and wide support within England. This is reflected in the large number of HIAs being undertaken at local and regional levels, by the advocacy of HIA in many national policy documents, and by the setting up of specialized HIA posts and centres.
