Collaboration five levels

Several excellent works on collaboration have been published (Blount, 1998 Doherty 8c Baird, 1983 Seaburn, Lorenz, Gunn, Ga-winski, 8c Mauksch, 1996). Doherty (1995) developed a model that defines five levels of collaboration. The levels range from minimal collaboration, in which professionals work in different sites and rarely communicate about a case, to close collaboration in a fully integrated system, in which professionals from different disciplines practice in the same site and hold team meetings regularly to discuss collaboration issues. For most physicians and therapists, level 5 is more of a dream than a reality. Because of the structure of health care today, most professionals probably practice at levels 1 or 2. 

In this section, it will be performed a literature review for each one of the four categories of the Demand management - Statistical Forecast, Sales and Operations Planning (S OP), Collaborative Plaiming and Forecasting Replenishment (CPFR) and Vendor managed Inventory (VMI). This review allowed identify the DDSC characteristics for each category which was used to develop the five level maturity model. 

To describe what can take place in the collaborative design and development of products and services, and to calibrate your progress, refer to Figure 11.3. The supply chain evolution is used as a framework to detail the capabilities that are present as a firm moves through the five levels and makes ever greater use of external resources. In Level 1, product development groups are co-located, but since the focus is on internal-... 

Calibration data (e.g., linearity or sensitivity) are not discussed in detail between laboratories, but a typical calibration starts with 50% of the lowest fortification level and requires at least three additional calibration levels. Another point of calibration is the use of appropriate standards. In 1999 a collaborative study tested the effect of matrix residues in final extracts on the GC response of several pesticides.Five sample extracts (prepared for all participants in one laboratory using the German multi-residue procedure) and pure ethyl acetate were fortified with several pesticides. The GC response of all pesticides in all extracts was determined and compared with the response in the pure solvent. In total, 20 laboratories using 47 GC instruments... 

The ideal validated method would be the one that has progressed fully through a collaborative study in accordance with international protocols for the design, conduct, and interpretation of method performance studies. A typical study of a determinative method conducted in accordance with the internationally harmonized International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)/AOAC International (AOAC) protocol would require a minimum of up to five test materials including blind replicates or split-level samples to assess within-laboratory repeatability parameters, and eight participating laboratories (15). Included with the intended use should be recommended performance criteria for accuracy, precision and recovery. 

Overall, the interdisciplinary WDKA seminars have been successful in the five years since their introduction at UWG. Both student satisfaction and student success data indicate that the seminar courses made a positive impact. Further, we found that the level of interaction among faculty was high and produced positive collaborations. Finally, the courses posed logistical challenges that may be difficult to overcome in the absence of external funding or tangible institutional support. 

The ASI provided high level training and understanding in the five focus areas outlined above. As an added value it will give rise to new research projects and collaborations. These will be effectively carried out by the exchange of young researchers, particularly students from developing nations. 

Several accurate potentials for the water dimer have been developed by the present authors and collaborators using the regular SAPT approach [48,63] and its DFT-based version [81]. The most extensively tested potential, dubbed SAPT-5s for the five symmetry-distinct sites used in the fit, was based on about 2500 ab initio grid points—a much larger number of points than in any previous work on this dimer. The calculations employed a medium-size, interaction-optimized spdf-symmetry basis set with bond functions. By comparisons to the most elaborate single-point calculations [184], the SAPT interaction energies have been estimated to be accurate to about 0.3 kcal/mol or 5% with respect to basis set and theory level extensions. Recent SAPT calculations... 

The point of the story has been to show that the numbers of persons involved in the endeavour in the UK was rather small (perhaps a score or so of quantum chemists, with perhaps a comparable number in dynamics and simulation, although there were probably about five or six times as many crystal-lographers), and that their efforts were fragmented. It was natural therefore that attempts would be made to encourage collaborations so that the UK might more effectively contribute to computational chemistry at the international level. The development of such collaborations is the theme for the 1970s. It is... 

The effectiveness of PBL can be determined in terms of five components ownership, creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and fun. The measure of these components is reflected in assessment rabrics. This PBL experience has encouraged the students in participation of project competitions to showcase the work carried out at various levels. These project competitions include various state and national levels like Impress-IT, JED-I, etc.
