Objectives: Successful aging is an interdisciplinary concept. Despite the great body of literature on successful aging, few studies have focused on its subjective and multidimensional measurements. Thus, the present study aimed to develop an instrument to measure self-perceived successful aging. Methods: We used a mixed method approach. The successful aging dimensions were explored through an ...

background & aim : researchers in the nursing science study complex constructs for which valid and reliable instruments are needed. when an instrument is created, psychometric testing is required, and the first-step is to study the content validity of the instrument. this article focuses on the process used to assess the content validity. methods & materials : this article examines the definiti...

Ground-based Folurier Transform infrared (FTIR) instruments are being produced at the University of Wisconsin (UW) and the Unliversity of Denver (UD) for the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program's Cloud and Radiation Te:stbed (CART) sites as part of a joint Instrument Development Program (lOP). The three instrument types under development are summarized in Table 1 . For each ARM site...

background & aim : nurses are exposed to the changing demands in technology as they execute their patient-related duties in the workplace. integration of information technology (it) in healthcare systems improves the quality of care provided. nursing and midwifery students with prior exposure to computers tend to have a positive influence of it. this study was carried out to determine the attit...

The recent developments of the neutron scattering instruments at the DR3 10 MW steady state reactor and other related facilities at Risø National Laboratory are described. The motivation for starting these developments is to optimise the available cold and thermal neutron flux as cost effective as possible. This has led to the implementation of the RITA neutron spectrometer and the germanium mo...
