QB-Gest: Qwerty bimanual gestural input for eye-free smartphone text input
(Springer, 2020-07-10)We developed QB-Gest, a bimanual text entry method based on simple gestures where users drag their thumbs in the direction of the desired letter while visualizing the Qwerty-layout. In an experiment with four sessions of ... -
A qualitative study exploring physical therapists’ views on the Otago Exercise Programme for fall prevention: a stepping stone to “age in place” and to give faith in the future
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-01-16)Background: One of the most effective interventions to prevent falls is exercise. A commonly used program that prevents falls is the Otago Exercise Programme (OEP). Despite this, user-based knowledge of its applicability ... -
A qualitative study of old patients’ experiences of the quality of the health services in hospital and 30 days after hospitalization
(BMC, 2020-05-20)Background: The number of people aged 80 years and above is projected to triple over the next 30 years. People in this age group normally have at least two chronic conditions. The impact of multimorbidity is often ... -
Quality improvement in emergency service delivery: Assessment of knowledge and skills amongst emergency nurses at Connaught Hospital, Sierra Leone
(Elsevier, 2017-05-16)Introduction: The ability to deliver quality emergency care services is reliant on a well-trained workforce. Since Sierra Leone was declared Ebola free in December 2015, the country has now moved into the postEbola ... -
Quality information on the internet: Norwegian library students on the search
(Emerald, 2007)Purpose In the autumn of 2006, two groups of students from the Faculty of Journalism, Library and Information Science at Oslo University College participated in a cooperative project with the Norwegian online reference ... -
Quality of clinical education A three-year follow-up among undergraduate nursing students in Finland and Sweden
(New Zealand Association for Cooperative Education, 2014)The purpose of this study was to compare the experiences of a group of Swedish and two Finnish groups of student nurses (n=86) on the quality of clinical education over time. The data was collected using an instrument ... -
Quality of life in patients with vascular malformations outside the central nervous system: Comparison with the general Norwegian population
(2019)PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in a population of patients with vascular malformations outside the central nervous system (CNS) and to compare the results with data ... -
The quality of life when a partner has substance use problems: a scoping review
(BMC, 2018-11-20)Objective: To examine the existing body of knowledge on quality of life (QoL) in partners of people with substance use problems (PP-SUPs) to provide a synthesized summary of the evidence and identify gaps in our knowledge ... -
Quality of Linked Bibliographic Data: The Models, Vocabularies, and Links of Data Sets Published by Four National Libraries
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-08-07)Little effort has been devoted to the systematic examination of published Linked data in the library community. This paper examines the quality of Linked bibliographic data published by the national libraries of Spain, ... -
Quality teaching and learning as practice within different disciplinary discourses
(International Society for Exploring Teaching and Learning, 2013)This article focuses on describing the interplay between teaching and learning practices in Higher Education and the disciplinary context of such practices. In particular, it aims to address the question of how course ... -
Quantile Estimation Based on the Principles of the Search on the Line
(Springer, 2018-05-22)The goal of our research is to estimate the quantiles of a distribution from a large set of samples that arrive sequentially. We propose a novel quantile estimator that requires a finite memory and is simple to implement. ... -
Quantitative proteomic analyses of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells reveal differentially expressed proteins in multiple sclerosis patients and healthy controls
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2019-04-27)Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, neuroinflammatory disease, with an unclear etiology. How‑ ever, T cells play a central role in the pathogenesis by crossing the blood–brain‑barrier, leading to inflammation ... -
Quantization of subgroups of the affine group
(Elsevier, 2021-02-15)Consider a locally compact group such that V is abelian and the action of Q on the dual abelian group has a free orbit of full measure. We show that such a group G can be quantized in three equivalent ways: (1) by ... -
Quantized Algebras of Functions on Homogeneous Spaces with Poisson Stabilizers
(Springer, 2012-03-01)Let G be a simply connected semisimple compact Lie group with standard Poisson structure, K a closed Poisson-Lie subgroup, 0 < q < 1. We study a quantization C(G q /K q ) of the algebra of continuous functions on G/K. Using ... -
Quantum Lyapunov exponents beyond continuous measurements
(AIP Publishing, 2019-10-28)Quantum systems, when interacting with their environments, may exhibit non-equilibrium states that are tempting to be interpreted as quantum analogs of chaotic attractors. However, different from the Hamiltonian case, the ... -
Quantum optimal control theory applied to transitions in diatomic molecules
(American Physical Society, 2014-12-29)Quantum optimal control theory is applied to control electric dipole transitions in a real multilevel system. The specific system studied in the present work is comprised of a multitude of hyperfine levels in the electronic ... -
Quasi-stationary oscillations in game-driven evolutionary dynamics
(IPME, 2019-12-24)Nonlinear dynamics makes use of attactors to describe asymptotic behavior of complex systems. However, in real life can be unattainable, as achieving them might require time much exceeding all relevant timescales of a ... -
Quick and Easy 3D Modelling for All: A Browser-based 3D-Sketching Framework
(International Association of Online Engineering, 2017)Modelling in 3D is considered time-consuming and difficult, relying on special skills. To make matters worse, there are currently no user interface conventions for how to work with 3D data and different modelling applications ... -
Quick library fix or basic educational skills? : information literacy in higher education
(Høgskolen i Oslo. Avdeling for Avdeling for journalistikk, bibliotek- og informasjonsfag, 2011)This thesis is concerned with how students in higher education can benefit from an embedded information literacy (IL) course. Most information literacy courses are given, by librarians, as single, stand-alone lectures, ... -
Quot schemes, Segre invariants, and inflectional loci of scrolls over curves
(Springer, 2019-06-26)Let E be a vector bundle over a smooth curve C, and S = PE the associated projective bundle. We describe the inflectional loci of certain projective models ψ: S 99K Pn in terms of Quot schemes of E. This gives a geometric ...
