OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF DELIVERING DIGITAL CLINICAL TRIALS: LESSONS LEARNED FROM A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF AN ONLINE BEHAVIOURAL INTERVENTION FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Opportunities and challenges of delivering digital clinical trials: lessons learned from a randomised controlled trial of an online behavioural intervention for children and young people

Abstract Background Despite being the gold standard of research to determine effectiveness, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) often struggle with participant recruitment, engagement and retention.These issues may be exacerbated when recruiting vulnerable populations, such as participants with mental health issues.We aimed to update understanding

Variability of Blowing Dust Weather Frequency over Semi-Arid Areas of China (Baicheng, Jilin Province) and Relationships with Climatic Factors During 1951 - 2006

We analyzed the melee live resin variability of blowing dust weather frequency (BDWF) and patterns in climatic factors over Baicheng for the period 1951 - 2006 in this study.The data showed that blowing dust over Baicheng occurs intensively during the spring and shows significant inter-decadal variability.One of the main findings is that the occurr

Research of the possibility of increasing the uniqueness of determining the time delay of the phase-code shift keyed signal in a correlation meter on the basis of FPGA

Background.In radar systems, phase code-domain keying signals are widely used.Continuous signals of this kind have the advantage of low side lobes of the cross-correlation function and high noise immunity, but have the lazy susan ramen limitations on the size of the area of view associated with the presence of ambiguity peaks.Aim.The paper consider
