Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop Delphi methodology toward a holistic method for forecasting market change. Delphi methodology experienced its culmination in marketing research during the 1970s–1980s, but still has much to offer to both marketing scholars and practitioners in contexts where future market changes are associated with ambiguity and uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach This study revives the Delphi methodology by exemplifying how a recently developed framework on market change can be combined with the Delphi technique for data collection to support forecasting activities and research. The authors demonstrate the benefits of the improved methodology in an empirical study on the impact of the fifth generation of wireless communications technologies (5G) on the Finnish media market. Findings The developed methodological approach aids marketing scholars in categorizing and analyzing the data collected for capturing market change; and better guiding experts/respondents to provide holistic projections of future market change. The authors show that using a predefined theoretical framework in combination with the Delphi method for data collection and analysis is beneficial for studying future market change. Originality/value This paper develops Delphi methodology and contributes with a novel methodological approach to assessing market change.

Abstract:
This paper presents the Delphi methodology employed to select a final dashboard of 30 indicators on the socio-educative inclusion of refugee and migrant children in Europe. Firstly, a procedure for identifying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) was carried out, including a specialized scientific literature review, the mapping of previous indicators, and qualitative workshops with key stakeholders at micro, meso, and macro levels in six countries. Then, a Delphi design was implemented to assess, rate, and provide meaningful qualitative improvements to a pool of pre-selected indicators. The Delphi methodology involved a group of international experts on the matters of inclusive education or migration, researchers, NGOs, and public officers. As an alternative to traditional "benchmark-based" consensus, we introduced the use of a) the CARA model and b) an alternative multi-input and mixed-method consensus-building procedure. The results provided a significant contribution to qualitative methods on the one hand and to migration and integration literature on the other. The methodological innovations, the diversity of experts' perspectives involved in the process, and the structured nature of the method constituted significant advantages to improve the robustness of the Delphi methodology for selecting and validating indicators. Future research involving a Delphi methodology can benefit from applying the present procedure.

Abstract:
Distance education is one means of delivering theological education which is being used increasingly. This delivery method is particularly helpful to nontraditional students who desire higher education but who cannot leave family and work commitments for residential study. For some in both developing and developed countries, distance education is the only route open to higher theological education. Criteria for assessing effective delivery of distance education have not been established in the literature. The purpose of this study was to identify such criteria. Data were collected with a three-round Delphi from an international panel of seventy-four members comprised of denominational and non-denominational educational administrators and distance educators, denominational district representatives, accreditation representatives, and adult education representatives. Two pilot studies were conducted to test the questions used for round one. Criteria statements were retained if they were deemed "important" or "very important" by at least 80 percent of the respondents on rounds two and three. The panel's responses were found to be independent of respondent location--national or international--and the category of the respondent's group membership. The findings of the study led to the identification of a set of thirty-one criteria in eight categories which may be useful for evaluating existing distance education programs or guiding the development of new programs. The eight categories were ethical concerns, commitment, curriculum, evaluation, support, technology, feedback, and faculty. There was a 100 percent consensus in rating these thirty-one criteria as "important" or "very important" by the panel members.

Devido aos recentes avanços tecnológicos, as organizações atualmente enfrentam grandes mudanças em seu trabalho. Assim, é importante que as empresas possam conectar e satisfazer seus clientes por meio de experiências baseadas em software. É isso ou elas serão deixadas para trás. Para ajudar as organizações a repensar suas estratégias de acordo com o desenvolvimento de habilidades para responder aos desafios da atual transformação digital, onde a transição da organização digital não é um processo prosaico, este estudo pretende contribuir com a literatura existente e tem como objetivo identificar as competências digitais que são importantes no ambiente de trabalho das organizações de hoje. A fim de fornecer uma visão geral atualizada do desafio da lacuna de competências digitais resultante da transformação digital, estruturar nossos conhecimentos existentes neste domínio, e para melhor compreender a relevância de cada uma das competências identificadas, decidiu-se colocá-las a  disposição de um painel composto por 16 profissionais de forma a criar uma ordenação de acordo com o grau de importância. Para este processo foi utilizado a metodologia de rankings Delphi, dividida em duas fases e com duas rondas. De acordo com os resultados obtidos as cinco competências digitais mais importantes são: (1) avaliação de dados, informações e conteúdo digital; (2) navegação, pesquisa e filtragem de dados, informações e conteúdo digital; (3) integração através de tecnologias digitais; (4) gestão de dados, informações e conteúdo digital; (5) colaboração através de tecnologias digitais.
Due to recent technological advances, organizations currently face massive changes in their work. So, it is important that companies be able to connect and satisfy their customers through software-based experiences. Is this or will they be left behind. In order to help organizations rethink their strategies according to the development of competencies to respond to the challenges of the current digital transformation, where the transition of the digital organization is not a prosaic process, this study intends to contribute the existing literature and aims to identify the digital competencies which are important in today's organization's workplace environment. In order to provide an up-to-date overview of the challenge of the digital competencies gap resulting from digital transformation, to structure our existing knowledge in this field, and to better understand the relevance of each of the identified competencies, it was decided to make them available to a panel of 16 professionals in order to create an ordering rank according to the degree of importance. For this process was used the Delphi rankings methodology, divided into two phases and with two rounds. According to the results obtained the five most important digital competencies are: (1) evaluating data, information and digital content; (2) browsing, searching and filtering data, information and digital content; (3) interacting through digital technologies; (4) managing data, information and digital content; (5) collaborating through digital technologies.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the views of A.C.T. primary school teachers about their work to build a picture of the culture of primary school teacher work of primary schools in the Australian Capital Territory. I define teaching culture to mean the behaviour, work practices, beliefs and possible habits teachers display in their efforts to perform the task of teaching. This description of teaching is possibly similar to what some authors describe as the 'sociology' of teaching (e.g. Barton and Walker, 1981). It is also a reflection of Deal's suggestion that culture describes 'the way things are done around here1 (Deal, 1985:605). In this case the study builds a picture of primary school teacher perceptions of the way things are, the culture of primary school teacher work, in the A.C.T. primary teaching system. The study has been designed to identify key workplace issues which preoccupy A.C.T. primary school teachers now and what they perceive to be the significant issues of the future, that is by the year 2005. The Delphi methodology was chosen to be the means to gather and refine information and perceptions from teachers its ability to clarify and refine issues and because the Delphi has amongst its advantages anonymity for participants and the use of experts in the data gathering. The study found that a high proportion of teachers feel stressed about attending meetings, yet wanting at the same time a say in the running of their school. Other results were that teachers considered they are poorly supported by the wider community and that a significant reward of the job was the interaction with the children. Teachers also believe that instructional methods will be radically different by 2005. The study aims to provide current information about the culture of primary school teacher work to teachers themselves and to present to interested authorities and institutions, such as the Department of Education and Training and The University of Canberra or the Australian Catholic University, recommendations for further research and practice to assist in policy design regarding the work teachers do. Some recommendations to the Department of Education and Training include: · the culture of primary school teacher work should be actively promoted to inform the community of the complexity of teacher work and to attract quality applicants to the profession; · that classroom teachers are resourced, at comparable levels to Public Servants or Departmental officers, with equipment such as computers and furniture; · that consideration be given to providing more inservice opportunities for teachers to pursue during stand-down (school holiday) time. Recommendations made to teacher-training institutions include: · regular research and reviews of teacher-training programs, with particular emphasis placed on beginning teacher needs and competencies and to highlighting areas newly recruited and experienced teachers consider require more training; · the design of comprehensive upgrading programs catering for the needs of newly appointed and experienced teachers.

Universities' knowledge management processes are critical to accomplishing their role of integrating individuals and countries in the competitive global knowledge economy through teaching, research and technology transfer (Sam and Van der Sijde, 2014; Welch, 2011). This role is particularly critical for universities in emerging economies, like Peru, that seek to integrate into this knowledge economy by diversifying their economies and reducing dependence on raw materials exports (Ministerio de la Producción del Perú, 2014). To do so, the article proposes an academic knowledge management model for Peruvian universities that integrates their processes and key actors. The authors analyzed current academic knowledge management models at five Peruvian universities using multiple case study methodology. The universities are among the highest ranked Peruvian universities in the QS University Rankings: Latin America (2016), such that the resulting model is applicable to universities in Peru and other emerging economies. The data collection protocol was validated by experts using the Delphi method and pilot tested at a sixth university. The results indicate that knowledge at these universities is managed intuitively or by tradition, not in a way that systematically integrates processes and participants. The critical success factors to managing academic knowledge effectively were identified as qualified staff, responsible and committed to research; engagement and commitment from senior management; an organizational culture that encourages knowledge creation, sharing and use; and staff attitude and learning ability. The research also identified criteria that measure the model impact in terms of its stages (creation, exchange and use) and university processes (teaching and learning, research, and transfer of services to society). The article concludes that the model is applicable to the current knowledge management practices identified in the case study and includes basic components (planning, management processes, principles, methods, technologies, etc.) in a system whose indicators fulfill the university mission and goals.

Abstract:
Background The Australian nurse practitioner (NP) role is represented by over 1,400 endorsed NPs practising in over 50 different specialty areas. Generic standards have broadly supported the role’s behavioural, professional and expanded practice expectations since 2006, and have been used for the accreditation of NP Masters programmes nationally. The need for consistent and flexible specialty clinical education for NP students has been described in the Australian literature. The clinical learning and teaching of Australian NP specialty roles has traditionally occurred in the student’s workplace, within a specified area of practice. Jurisdictional differences at state/territory and local levels have influenced how NP students develop and enact their roles once endorsed. Factors such as the student’s clinical supervisor, local legislation and policy, role ambiguity, restrictive local clinical guidelines and protocols influence what NP students learn in their clinical learning environments. These factors contribute to a highly differentiated NP workforce, with differing clinical skills, knowledge and abilities noted within the same specialty area. Similar difficulties have led to the development of broad specialty areas in the United States of America. To better complement the generic learning and teaching students receive through their academic programmes, this research aims to validate a specialist clinical learning and teaching framework for Australian nurse practitioners. This framework will not only enhance consistency in their specialty clinical learning and teaching, but create greater workforce flexibility. A consensus-based research methodology was needed to validate the specialty clinical learning and teaching framework. Delphi Technique is a consensus-based research methodology commonly employed in nursing research to explore solutions to questions that have unclear or indeterminate answers. It aims to achieve a pre-determined level of consensus on a research question, using content experts through an anonymous and iterative process. Critical to the method’s validity is the participation of a heterogeneous group of experts with advanced knowledge of the content area, and whose feedback to other panelists is controlled to minimise social influence. Individual participant characteristics, such as experience level and confidence in decision-making, and the influence of these upon consensus are poorly described in the Delphi literature. There was little previous empirical research to inform how to best describe heterogeneity of opinion informing the specialty clinical learning and teaching framework using nurse practitioners. Aims - To validate a specialty clinical learning and teaching framework for Australian NP students. Specific objectives that addressed this aim were: - To validate a previously developed Australian NP metaspecialty taxonomy. - To validate supporting clinical practice standards used for the metaspecialty taxonomy. - To contribute knowledge of how consensus is achieved when using Reactive Delphi methodology. Specific questions that addressed this aim were: - Does Reactive Delphi methodology potentiate the negative influence of the bandwagon effect in Delphi panelists? - What effect does panelist confidence have on decision-making in Delphi panelists? - How can experience level be objectively demonstrated in individual Delphi panelists? - What effect does experience level have on decision-making in Delphi panelists? - Does confidence relate to opinion change in individual Delphi panelists? - What effect does panel composition have on consensus outcomes? - To demonstrate the application of web-based methods in Delphi research. Specific objectives that addressed this aim were: - Describe the advantages of using a web-based Delphi method. - Describe the risks of using a web-based Delphi method. - Describe how panelist feedback was managed during six concurrent Delphi studies. Methodology and Methods This mixed-methods research used Delphi Technique to achieve consensus on, and therefore validate, a NP specialty clinical learning and teaching framework. Two sequential 3-round Reactive Delphi surveys were used to achieve the research aims. The first Delphi survey was designed to validate a proposed broad Australian NP specialty taxonomy previously established by the 2014 CLLEVER (CLinical LEarning goVERnance) study. The second Delphi survey was designed to validate clinical practice standards, which would support and provide definition to the specialty taxonomy. Together, the taxonomy and standards informed the proposed specialty clinical learning and teaching framework. Consensus Development Conference methodology was used to refine the proposed specialty clinical learning and teaching framework. Data collected during the conduct of the first Delphi survey achieved the second research aim. The third research aim was achieved by using metadata, paradata and embedded data in an advanced web-based survey design for both Delphi surveys. Purposive sampling and snowballing techniques were used to recruit from an eligible population of NPs, endorsed by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, with at least 12 months’ post-endorsement experience (N=966). Web-based survey technology was used to collect data. Data were analysed using content analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics. The Content Validity Index and non-parametric testing using McNemar’s Test for Change were used to determine consensus that informed the proposed framework. Results Approximately 20% of the eligible Australian NP population contributed to both Delphi surveys. Six broad specialty areas, termed metaspecialties, were validated for the proposed specialty taxonomy. A Consensus Development Conference refined the names of two metaspecialties. The metaspecialties served as a foundation for validated clinical practice standards, which provided substance and definition to the final specialty clinical learning and framework. Heterogeneity of expert NP opinion informing the framework was demonstrated using professional activities representative of advanced practice nursing. There was no indication of negative social influence determining the manner by which panelists achieved consensus on the proposed framework. A novel method of using metadata, paradata and embedded data in web-based surveys was applied, which supported high survey response rates and identified non-response bias. A novel application of web-based surveys allowed the researcher to concurrently conduct six Delphi surveys nested within a larger research project. Conclusion This research demonstrates a rigorous approach in validating a proposed specialty clinical learning and teaching framework for Australian NP students. It contributes new knowledge on the internal and external validity of Reactive Delphi methodology.

Mestrado em Gestão de Sistemas de Informação
Due to the rapid global spread of the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, companies and institutions were forced to take precautionary measures to reduce the risk of contagion, such as asking employees to work remotely from their homes. In this scenario, cloud computing technology has proven to be a great ally of companies to overcome the crisis caused by the pandemic.The adoption of Cloud Computing technology has accelerated in recent years and, according to a forecast made by the International Data Corporation (IDC), investment in cloud services will exceed US $ 1.0 trillion in 2024, which represents a rate of annual growth of 15.7% (Villars et al., 2020).In an attempt to help organizations plan their strategies for adopting cloud computing, the present study intends to contribute to the existing literature on the subject, aiming to identify the main factors that influence the adoption of such technology during the Covid-19 pandemic crises.For this purpose, 18 factors identified during the literature review and were presented to 11 experts in the field of cloud computing technology, in order to seek a consensus regarding the order of importance of these factors.Through the Delphi method, divided into two phases and with two rounds, a list was obtained, ordered according to the degree of importance of the main factors that influence the adoption of cloud computing. After analyzing the data, the results obtained show that the six most important factors are: (1) Adoption, Migration and Acquisition Cost; (2) Availability and Accessibility; (3) Scalability; (4) Cost of Data Confidentiality and Availability Loss; (5) Security and (6) Customization.

Abstract:
Most individuals travel in order to participate in a network of activities which are important for attaining a good standard of living. Because such activities are commonly widely dispersed and not located locally, regular access to a vehicle is important to avoid exclusion. However, planning transport system provisions that can engage members of society in an acceptable degree of activity participation remains a great challenge. The main challenges in most cities of the world are due to significant population growth and rapid urbanisation which produces increased demand for transport. Keeping pace with these challenges in most urban areas is difficult due to the widening gap between supply and demand for transport systems which places the urban population at a transport disadvantage. The key element in mitigating the issue of urban transport disadvantage is to accurately identify the urban transport disadvantaged. Although wide-ranging variables and multi-dimensional methods have been used to identify this group, variables are commonly selected using ad-hoc techniques and unsound methods. This poses questions of whether the current variables used are accurately linked with urban transport disadvantage, and the effectiveness of the current policies. To fill these gaps, the research conducted for this thesis develops an operational urban transport disadvantage framework (UTDAF) based on key statistical urban transport disadvantage variables to accurately identify the urban transport disadvantaged. The thesis develops a methodology based on qualitative and quantitative statistical approaches to develop an urban transport disadvantage framework designed to accurately identify urban transport disadvantage. The reliability and the applicability of the methodology developed is the prime concern rather than the accuracy of the estimations. Relevant concepts that impact on urban transport disadvantage identification and measurement and a wide range of urban transport disadvantage variables were identified through a review of the existing literature. Based on the reviews, a conceptual urban transport disadvantage framework was developed based on the causal theory. Variables identified during the literature review were selected and consolidated based on the recommendations of international and local experts during the Delphi study. Following the literature review, the conceptual urban transport disadvantage framework was statistically assessed to identify key variables. Using the statistical outputs, the key variables were weighted and aggregated to form the UTDAF. Before the variable's weights were finalised, they were adjusted based on results of correlation analysis between elements forming the framework to improve the framework's accuracy. The UTDAF was then applied to three contextual conditions to determine the framework's effectiveness in identifying urban transport disadvantage. The development of the framework is likely to be a robust application measure for policy makers to justify infrastructure investments and to generate awareness about the issue of urban transport disadvantage.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation addresses the problem of how to manage environmental resources to improve the prospects that resource allocation activities will make the greatest possible contribution to social well-being. The study had two major aims. One aim was to provide a rational philosophical framework for guiding resource evaluation and decisionmaking processes. The second - and principal - aim was to develop a reliable and practical method for evaluating those resource allocation proposals which are particularly controversial. As part of the philosophical framework, a modification of the social welfare function is specified which explicitly addresses the well-being of future generations. This form of the social welfare function is based on certain a priori premises, which are used to define the goal and objectives of resource allocation, and to identify appropriate evaluation criteria. These evaluation criteria are then used to devise a resource management strategy and to develop an environmental evaluation methodology to serve that strategy. The methodology consists of both formal and informal methods of evaluation, but special attention is given to developing a formal method of evaluation that is simple and inexpensive to apply, and therefore particularly suited for Third World conditions. The principal research objective was to develop a useful method for evaluating those resource allocation proposals which are especially controversial. The method that has been developed - the Panel Evaluation Method - utilizes a cost-benefit framework and employs procedures modeled on the Delphi Method. The Panel Evaluation Method features three techniques for accomplishing a formal evaluation of competing proposals: the Impact Identification Technique is used to identify and define all the impacts of concern; the Significance Measurement Technique is used to judge the relative significance of the impacts; and the Criteria Trade-off Technique is used to determine which proposal best satisfies specified evaluation criteria. The Panel Evaluation Method was applied to several case studies with positive results. For example, the central feature of the method - the Significance Measurement Technique - was found to be capable of producing reasonably replicable results, and so is considered to provide an acceptable way to determine whether the costs of a proposal would exceed its benefits. The method thus serves to extend the capabilities of both Environmental Impact Assessment and Cost-benefit Analysis, and to link these two widely-used tools for guiding resource allocation decisions into a more powerful and versatile decisionmaking tool.

As a contribution to this subject, this dissertation presents a product reliability study based on low cost resources available in the companies, such as warranty data and experts’ qualitative analysis. The aim of this study is to develop a method to model the life cycle of systems and components, and demonstrate this method through a case study of agricultural equipment. This study presents a bibliographical review on reliability and qualitative analysis as well as other relevant subjects to support the method development. The study explores the company warranty data behavior, the Delphi methodology to obtain the experts’ opinions, and the multiplication of two Weibull distributions for the outcome consolidation. The main results presented are: the system reliability curve; the components failure analysis; and a method evaluation.

Abstract:
Patient quality of life (QoL) is a pivotal parameter, which is often used by clinicians to evaluate how treatments and therapies influence patients’ functionality and emotional state, aiming to ameliorate interventions and their outcomes. Currently, the majority of questionnaires assessing the QoL are designed with the main contribution of clinicians and, therefore, include items that are cantered on the disease rather than on its multifaceted impact on people’s life. The failure to truly grasp the patients’ perspective, their needs, aspirations, perceptions and emotional state, is a major drawback that sets medical care on clinical parameters alone. We aimed to bridge this gap by establishing an innovative patient-designed QoL index to provide a new, unbiased tool considering the patients’ perception of their own well-being. Based predominantly on patients’ contribution, we defined specific areas (physical, emotional, social, functional, economical) and the respective characterizing features, and applied a pseudo-Delphi methodology combined with customer-satisfaction techniques. For each feature, the degree of agreement and the importance were assessed on a Likert scale. A synthetic QoL index was created by weighting the importance of each item. The methodology tested led to the development of a valid patient-designed QoL index, providing a way forward that could potentially be applied to many different conditions. The areas and the features included are indeed common to all patients, irrespective of their disease. We found that the process of methodology development enhanced the patients’ awareness of their subjective experience with the disease, and enabled them to better present their situation to the clinicians. The patient-designed QoL index provides a descriptive model that can be helpful to patients, clinicians and third parties and that can be further integrated with clinical details to obtain an overall view of the course of treatment for each patient.

Abstract:
Today there is a new emphasis on a discipline related to knowledge engineering (KE): knowledge management (KM). The chapter shows that a Delphi methodology, developed and used with real success from 1986 through 2003, can be revised and up-dated to take a place in the spectrum of KE/KM. This new model combines elements of a Pareto technique at the front end of an small group Delphi paradigm/estimate-talk-estimate (SGDP/ETE) process to initially identify and sharpen the criticality of problems and their solutions. The final stage of the model uses real time Delphi (RTD) techniques. As a result, the final paradigm uses today's technology to achieve extremely accurate decision making and indicate what can be successful courses of action across many venues. Examples will be given of how this new model could be applied to current, real-life problems in three very different arenas.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify through the Delphi Technique, important requirements of an information system development methodology. These requirements should satisfy the needs of actual organizations, regarding the strategic use of information technology. An initial listing of requirements was developed through a review of the related literature. The Delphi panel consisted of 31 brazilian specialists in information systems. Two rounds were employed to collect from this panel the most important requirements. The requirements were distributed in five basic areas: technical process, interaction between the end user and analysts, organizational structure, business strategies and quality of the information system. It is expected that methodologies will continue to be of great importance in the development of information systems and they will increase their focus on the social-technical approach.

Abstract:
The chapter presents a research design for examining social media use in political contexts, framed as the methodology community case study. The main difference from a traditional case study is that the focus is on online communities rather than single organizations. The chapter presents the case study methodology along with the individual methods that have been applied in community case studies: interviews, stakeholder analysis, the Delphi method, social network analysis (and other digital methods), document, and genre analysis. The chapter concludes by discussing possible types of insights gained through applying these methods, and presenting a few example findings from previous research. The design has been successfully applied in the author's PhD thesis and later work, and is presented here in the hope that it might provide aid and inspiration for graduate students facing similar research problems.

Abstract:
Integration of CAD (Computer Aided Design), CAPP (Computer Aided Process Planning) and Process Modeling activities plays a vital role in enabling concurrent product and process design. Typically each of these functions is performed in its own dedicated software environment. The integration will require interfacing several disconnected processes and software components built in different languages, and platforms. This paper presents an integration methodology, validated using a case study, in which a steering housing was analyzed and its process planning and design tasks were integrated using several software tools. The first integration task was to generate a feature based CAD model (in Unigraphics) and map these design features to a set of manufacturing features. Feature based design was performed using the Horizontal Modeling™ approach developed at Delphi. Features developed using this approach were then mapped to manufacturing features using APPS, a software tool developed at Delphi Dynamics and Propulsion Innovation Center. This task involved interrogation of the geometric CAD model to generate geometric and tolerance information and represent them in a format suitable for feature-based process planning. The second task of integration is generation of feasible “production-intent” process plans. This task is performed using APPS and IMPlanner process planner, a knowledge based software tool developed at Ohio University. The third and final task of integration is automated generation of in-process CAD models. This task involved the integration of Delphi process design techniques to generate CAD models (in Unigraphics) to represent the component at each stage of the manufacturing process. Evaluation of these steps through the case study has identified the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed integration methodology, which is reported in this paper.

Abstract:
Abstract A modeling methodology to speed up the design of luminaires composed of solid state light emitting devices has been elaborated in the Delphi4LED research project of the European Union. Starting with integrated and automated measurements of packaged LED devices in the electric, thermal and optical domain; the methodology provides SPICE like models, which besides the electrical properties also reflect the thermal and optical ones. The electrical and optical model is based directly on semiconductor physics, for precise modeling of the low-current and high-current decay of efficiency. The compact model of the thermal domain is based on the methodology defined in the previous DELPHI project. Measured data on the population are converted in an optimization process to best fit the model parameter sets. The paper presents the elaborated methodology and also outlines a new JEDEC standard encompassing multiple thermal test environments.

DSSAT is a set of tools that facilitate the creation and management of experiment, soil, and weather files. Its tools were built using programming languages like Visual Basic and Delphi, which are difficult to run remotely or in the cloud. In this work, we present DSSAT-Lite, a web-based application designed to facilitate the simulation of DSSAT-CSM models over HTTP. It provides simulation and visualization tools and integration with highly optimized third-party software for processing DSSAT files. Abstraction layers allow for a standardized methodology for reading multiple DSSAT files into a beautifully formatted data structure. These features allowed DSSAT-Lite to run remote simulations, specifically using mobile devices and web browsers.

Abstract:
Background: Robust critical appraisal tools for pharmacokinetic studies are lacking. The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable critical appraisal tool for clinical pharmacokinetic studies. Methodology: A systematic review was conducted through Embase and Pubmed to identify quality markers of clinical pharmacokinetic studies. Quality-related questions were formulated to help in appraising pharmacokinetic studies. Experts were approached to participate in a modified Delphi process to achieve their consensus regarding the formulated questions based on percentage of agreement between panelists, median and interquartile range. Content and face validity of the tool were assessed twice and by a psychometric expert. Four raters were selected to apply the tool on 30 clinical pharmacokinetic articles to calculate Kappa values to determine interrater and intra-rater reliability. Results: Quality markers of clinical pharmacokinetic studies were identified from fifteen articles. Sixty-four quality-related questions were formulated, but 42 were assessed by twenty-five panelists, who consented to participate in the modified Delphi process rounds. In round 1, 12 out of 42 items reached ≥80 % of agreement, median ≥ 4, and interquartile range ≤ 1. In round 2, 6 out of 28 items met ≥80% of agreement, a median ≥ 4, and interquartile range < 1. In round 3, 3 out of 3 items achieved ≥80% of agreement, a median ≥ 4, and interquartile range < 1. This tool proved to be valid and reliable in appraising retrospective and prospective clinical pharmacokinetic, bioequivalence, and population pharmacokinetic studies. Conclusion: A valid and reliable clinical pharmacokinetic critical appraisal tool containing twenty-one questions was developed

Abstract:
In the current study, a network-based resistor model has been developed for thermal analysis of a complex optoelectronic package called SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable Device). This is done using the DELPHI (DEvelopment of Libraries of PHysical models for an Integrated design) Methodology. The SFP is an optical transceiver widely used in telecommunication equipments such as switches and routers. The package has a detailed construction, and typically has four heat generating sources. The detailed model for the SFP is constructed and validated using a natural convection experiment. The validated detailed model is used for generating the Boundary-Condition-Independent (BCI) Compact Thermal Model (CTM). Codes for solving the network topology and interfacing with the optimization subroutine were written using Matlab 7. The resulting CTM is extensively validated with multiple boundary condition sets. The CTM for the SFP shows maximum relative of errors less than 10% for the junction temperature on all of its active components and less than 20% for the heat flows through its sides for extreme set of boundary conditions.

Abstract:
This paper presents an innovative tool to recognize potential zones for the development of offshore aquaculture activities from an expanded spatial perspective. The methodology — developed in the framework of the TEN-SHORES project (Development of new technologies in oceanic aquaculture RTC-2014-2485-5) — aims to identify optimal conditions for the growth of fish species and for cage resistance. The first step is based on the Delphi method and consists of the selection of variables according to their relevance to fish species and to the cage location. The selected variables were acquired from reanalysis models and remote sensing data (time series of 20–30 years). In the second step, an evaluation system was developed to estimate the percentage of time (on a 0-1 scale) that the selected variables remain in optimum conditions, for the fish and the cage, in the whole data series (grid of 0.25°). Suitability maps were generated according to the conditions for the fish species growth and to house a generic cage. The integration of these maps allows for the identification of potential zones (>0.7) for farming the Greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili), highlighting unexploited offshore zones in South and North America, Oceania and in the Africa continent. The developed tool can be applied to large-scale studies of different aquaculture species, as well as to other types of marine uses.
