Agricultural ecosystems host a large variety of organisms that can contribute to weed control through seed consumption.However, seed consumption rates in the agroecosystems of southern Chile are virtually unknown.We experimentally evaluate oat seed consumption by birds, rodents and invertebrates, in hedgerows dominated by trees, shrubs and grasses.
BackgroundElectronic Health Record Systems (EHRs) are being rolled out nationally in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) yet Folding Ramp assessing actual system usage remains a challenge.We employed a nominal group technique (NGT) process to systematically develop high-quality indicators for evaluating actual usage of EHRs in LMICs.Metho
The fuzzy front in product development is frequently mentioned as the most critical phase of the innovation process, and the five cases of successful design innovations here indicate that experiments and an experimental approach are generating positive outcomes.The experiments in the cases can be characterised as various forms of prototyping.Intere
