A Validated Simulation of Wind Flow Around a Parabolic Dish
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2015)The thermal performance of solar parabolic dish systems is greatly influenced by the wind around the system. To achieve higher operating temperatures, larger dish structures are used to increase the concentration ratio, ... -
Validating the extended technology acceptance model: perceived playfulness in the context of information-searching websites
(AIS, 2005)Prior research that has used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to predict Internet usage has focused on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of websites. More recently, in an extension of TAM to include an ... -
Validation of the Chinese Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index (C-MFPDI) Among Patients With Inflammatory Arthritis
(BioMed Central, 2019)Background: The Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index (MFPDI) is a patient-reported outcome tool used to measure foot pain and foot-related disability. The English version of the MFPDI has been successfully translated ... -

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) in a manufacture-to-order small and medium enterprise
(JOMSA, 2008)This paper discusses the Lean methodology of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) in a manufacture-to order (MTO) environment. Within a case study of a mold making company the method is applied and improved. The purpose of VSM is ... -
Valuing computer science education research?
(ACM, 2006)This paper critically enquires into the value systems which rule the activities of teaching and research. This critique is intended to demonstrate the application of critical enquiry in Computer Science Education Research ... -
Valuing evaluation: methodologies to bridge research and practice
(ACM Press, 2012)The potential disconnect between research and practice in software engineering (SE) means that the uptake of research outcomes has at times been limited. In this paper we seek to identify research approaches that are ... -

Variability of serum markers of erythropoiesis during 6 days of racing in highly trained cyclists
(2013)The athlete biological passport for the fight against doping is currently based on longitudinal monitoring for abnormal changes in cellular blood parameters. Serum parameters related to altered erythropoiesis could be ... -
Variability of Total Step Activity in Children With Cerebral Palsy: Influence of Definition of a Day on Participant Retention Within the Study
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2016)Background: Activity monitoring is important to establish accurate daily physical activity levels in children with cerebral palsy (CP). However, few studies address issues around inclusion or exclusion of step count data; ... -
Variation in Gastric pH May Determine Kiwifruit's Effect on Functional Gi Disorder: An in Vitro Study
(MDPI AG, 2014)Consumption of kiwifruit is reported to relieve symptoms of functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder. The effect may be related to the proteases in kiwifruit. This in vitro study aimed to measure protein hydrolysis due ... -

Vibration analysis of a variable length blade wind turbine
(IJAET, 2012)In this paper, flap-wise, edge-wise and torsional natural frequencies of a variable length blade have been identified. Therefore designers can ensure that natural frequencies will not be close to the frequency of the main ... -
Vibration of lightweight composite structures with random irregularities
(University of Otago, 2009)Exact determination of the vibration of a composite structure becomes impossible beyond the low-frequency range due to uncertainties in the structure. Therefore, the prediction model in the mid- to high-frequency range ... -
