Whether the challenge for a researcher is being unaware of updates to funding specifications, perfecting English writing style and grammar, limited experience with design software, or the need for ...project management, the RCO is trained to assist with cancer-related communication. Discord among team members in these types of situations could have disrupted the successful completion of projects that maintain the high standards of the RCO. ...it is important to plan ahead for this evolution, from strong individual work to closely interlocked teamwork, and hire staff who excel with individual challenges but also fully embrace highly collaborative environments.
The purpose of the study was to provide insights into the information seeking
behaviors and needs of graduate students of Management Sciences at the Centre for
Operations Excellence, University of ...British Columbia. The study describes major aspects of
the information seeking patterns taking into account the whole phenomena: from the nature
of the original situation where and when the need was recognized, to the characteristics of the
information seeker, to the providers which were consulted and degrees of success. Using the
case-study method and the sense-making approach, data were gathered through logs,
interviews, and a questionnaire. Verbal protocols helped to delve and probe into the
qualitative aspects of the search behavior resulting in a model for the search process.
Findings revealed that the students went through six stages during their research: 1 Task
defining, 2 Focus forming, 3 Monitoring and reviewing, 4 Selecting and sieving, 5
Interpreting, and 6 Presenting. Typically, information seeking occurred in context of task
achievement which was affected by various factors such as time, cost, prior knowledge,
feedback, motivation and experience and perception of students. A user survey demonstrated
that 1 informal channels were used more avidly in information seeking than formal
channels, 2 information service providers were not consulted on a regular basis, 3 UBC
libraries were very rarely used, 4 factors such as time, location, motivation, cost,
perception, feedback played an integral role in information seeking and task completion, 5
satisfaction with services of service provider were based on the relevance, currency,
timeliness and accuracy of information provided, and 6 usage of information was weighed
against the benefit to analysts. Recommendations for action and further study and a service
model were the outcomes of the findings.
The presented model of operations capacity planning allows obtaining quantitative dimensions of the service system parameters for Administrative Services Centre. A methodology for the practical ...application of this model has also been presented here. The present paper aims at offering support for operations managers in the service sector for decision making regarding the operations capacity.
We present the results of a clinical feasibility study, performed in 10 healthy volunteers undergoing a simulated treatment over 3 sessions, to investigate the use of a wide-field visual feedback ...technique intended to help patients control their pose while reducing motion during radiation therapy treatment.
An optical surface sensor is used to capture wide-area measurements of a subject's body surface with visualizations of these data displayed back to them in real time. In this study we hypothesize that this active feedback mechanism will enable patients to control their motion and help them maintain their setup pose and position. A capability hierarchy of 3 different level-of-detail abstractions of the measured surface data is systematically compared.
Use of the device enabled volunteers to increase their conformance to a reference surface, as measured by decreased variability across their body surfaces. The use of visual feedback also enabled volunteers to reduce their respiratory motion amplitude to 1.7 ± 0.6 mm compared with 2.7 ± 1.4 mm without visual feedback.
The use of live feedback of their optically measured body surfaces enabled a set of volunteers to better manage their pose and motion when compared with free breathing. The method is suitable to be taken forward to patient studies.
