By applying four analytic models with comparable outcomes and covariates to a dataset of 20 outcomes from 17 educational trials, we found results closely matching in well-powered studies without serious implementation problems. The interventions and evaluations were all funded by the Education Endowment Foundation and independently evaluated. We demonstrated that when an analysis takes little account of research design, or where there were difficulties with implementation and data collection, point estimates of effect differ and estimates of precision vary. This adds to the challenge of understanding the comparative impact of interventions and deciding which are worth scaling up.

The purpose of this evaluation study was to examine the longitudinal impact of implementation of Duffy’s Quality Caring Model© on patients’ perceptions of nurse caring on medical, surgical, and telemetry units in a community hospital. Data collection points included pre implementation, and 6 months, 10 months, and 22 months post implementation. After each data collection point, nurse leaders developed interventions based on Duffy’s Quality Caring Model© to improve scores. Findings demonstrated higher patient perception of nurse caring scores at each data collection point and on each nursing unit.

Chapter 9 illustrates the circumstances of the authors’ street-involved youth sample at the time of the last data collection point, further implications of early life trauma, and the unfairness of social policy, with suggestions for helping street-involved youth reintegrate into mainstream social institutions more easily. The youth at this point in their lives were either stable and engaged, stable and unengaged, unstable and engaged, or unstable and unengaged. Only youth in the last category were truly in difficulty, but youth in the other three categories were often left out of supports that other young people take for granted. This points to the mismatch between age and social structure, and in part this is a consequence of education, work, and social services not being responsive to their life circumstances or focused on short-term goals rather than inclusion.

Roundness has an important role in terms of dividing the load equally, determining component life, determining adjustment conditions, determining rotation accuracy, and facilitating lubrication. To measure the roundness required a tool that can perform measurements with precision. With a roundness measuring instrument that has an automatic motion control system it will be able to produce more efficient data retrieval and higher accuracy than previous research. The control system in this tool is a system that regulates the automatic movement of the roundness gauge. Where the function of this automatic motion control system is to measure the test object using a chuck as a clamp, the indicator dial is directed by the X and Y axes to the data collection point on the test object which is connected to the driving motor. Axis Y moves in translation to direct the indicator dial on the "arm" to the pick-up point which moves automatically depending on the selected data collection mode, then the indicator dial starts taking measurement data until the measurement data retrieval is complete, then the motor moves from top to bottom, to perform reversible data retrieval. Stepper motor on the chuck will also move. There are 2 mode in this machine, it is mode 1, where the resulting data is in the form of a "ring" and for mode 2, the resulting data is “spiral”. It was found that the translational speed of the screw shaft in the vertical movement is 0.025 m/s and the horizontal linear speed is 0.026 m/s.

A Site

An automatic listening station suitable for platypus monitoring has been developed. The equipment includes a radio telemetry receiver connected to a data logger capable of sorting up to 160 input items of information. The data Jogger can receive information directly from a programmable flash memory device (FMD). The flash memory device (FMD) is programmed from a computer with the transmitter frequencies to be detected and stored prior to a site visit. For platypus work the radio telemetry receiver is deployed in the field at an appropriate data collection point, such as opposite a burrow opening, where frequency of visit data is required. The field data, which is stored in the data logger, is retrieved by the researcher by transferring information from the data logger to the FMD. In the laboratory the new data can be downloaded on to a personal computer for analysis, thus removing the need for a laptop computer in the field. Whilst recognising that no automated methods of data collection replace first hand observations of animals collected in the field, there are situations when automated data collection is very useful. The application of this technique to platypus monitoring at Mt. Em Creek will be described.

The development of the hydration stages for electron microscopes has opened up the application of electron diffraction in the study of biological membranes. Membrane specimen can now be observed without the artifacts introduced during drying, fixation and staining. The advantages of the electron diffraction technique, such as the abilities to observe small areas and thin specimens, to image and to screen impurities, to vary the camera length, and to reduce data collection time are fully utilized. Here we report our pioneering work in this area.

Amorphous Structures

Electron tomography is a technique where many projections of an object are collected from the transmission electron microscope (TEM), and are then used to reconstruct the object in its entirety, allowing internal structure to be viewed. As vital as is the 3-D structural information and with no other 3-D imaging technique to compete in its resolution range, electron tomography of amorphous structures has been exercised only sporadically over the last ten years. Its general lack of popularity can be attributed to the tediousness of the entire process starting from the data collection, image processing for reconstruction, and extending to the 3-D image analysis. We have been investing effort to automate all aspects of electron tomography. Our systems of data collection and tomographic image processing will be briefly described.To date, we have developed a second generation automated data collection system based on an SGI workstation (Fig. 1) (The previous version used a micro VAX). The computer takes full control of the microscope operations with its graphical menu driven environment. This is made possible by the direct digital recording of images using the CCD camera.
