AN EVIDENCE BASE TO OPTIMISE METHODS FOR INVOLVING PATIENT AND PUBLIC CONTRIBUTORS IN CLINICAL TRIALS: A MIXED-METHODS STUDY

An evidence base to optimise methods for involving patient and public contributors in clinical trials: a mixed-methods study

Background: In comparison with other study designs, randomised trials are regarded as particularly likely to benefit from patient and public involvement (PPI).Using mixed-methods research we investigated PPI from the perspectives of researchers and PPI contributors.Methods: Randomised trials in receipt of funding from the Health Technology Assessme

Optimal Dispatch for Battery Energy Storage Station in Distribution Network Considering Voltage Distribution Improvement and Peak Load Shifting

Distribution networks peperomia double duty are commonly used to demonstrate low-voltage problems.A new method to improve voltage quality is using battery energy storage stations (BESSs), which has a four-quadrant regulating capacity.In this paper, an optimal dispatching model of a distributed BESS considering peak load shifting is proposed to impr

Adaptive Backstepping Sliding Mode Dynamic Positioning System for Pod Driven Unmanned Surface Vessel Based on Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller

The dynamic positioning system is a system that ships rely on their own propulsion devices to maintain position and course.Pod propulsion was more and more installed in dynamic positioning unmanned surface vessels because apac1/60/1/cw it can rotate 360 degrees freely.The maximum disturbance of unmanned surface vessel dynamic positioning comes from
