An analysis of the effectiveness of a behavioural based safety intervention in a UK paper mill
… research examines a behavioural based safety (BBS) intervention within a paper mill in the South East of England. Further to this intervention two other mills are examined for the purposes of comparison — one an established BBS programme and the other an improving safety management system …

A Correlational Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Behavior-Based Safety in an Offshore Oil Production Facility
… to operate injury free. Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) is used as a safety intervention approach to minimize the frequency and severity of workplace incidents and injuries. Many companies assume BBS is effective in reducing injuries and losses. However, only anecdotal evidence is usually presented …

The Effects of Feedback on Safety Observations and Related Behaviors
Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) has been remarkably successful at decreasing injuries and fatalities in organizational settings. Direct, behavioral observations are one cornerstone of effective BBS programs. This study examined the effects of providing managerial-level, weekly feedback to front-line …

Gastrin-releasing peptide-mediated neuroblastoma growth: A role for the PI3K/Akt pathway
… peptide (GRP), and its analogue bombesin (BBS), in neuroblastomas. Our lab also found that undifferentiated neuroblastomas express increased levels of GRP receptor (GRPR). Activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway, a crucial regulator of cell survival, is associated …

The Effectiveness of Behavior-based Safety in the Flight Training Environment
… the implementation of behavior-based safety (BBS)? and (b) Is there a significant increase in the utilization of clearing turns prior to the initiation of training maneuvers by students in the flight program after BBS implementation? The participants in this study were college students and …

A functional and therapeutic investigation of ciliopathy proteins and ciliopathies
… dysmorphology related to Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) in humans, mice, and zebrafish, and shown there to be consistent midfacial flattening and hypoplasia. Bbs8, a causative gene of BBS, has a key role in neural crest migration and possibly in cell migration in general. This accounts for the …

Evaluating Population-Habitat Relationships of Forest Breeding Birds at Multiple Spatial and Temporal Scales Using Forest Inventory and Analysis Data
… and U.S. Geological Survey Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) that span large geographic regions. The purposes of this study were to determine if FIA metrics can be related to BBS population indices at multiple spatial and temporal scales and to develop predictive models from these relationships that …

Impact of Biobanks on Research Outcomes in Rare Diseases：A Systematic Review
… drive basic and translational research for RDs. BBs collect and store biological specimens with matched clinical data and patient metadata in an organised system, distributing samples and data to the scientific community, enabling “omics” studies. This is especially important considering the …

The Effects of Global Change on Avian Biodiversity
… and the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) and assessed the sources of these biases to understand how each dataset can best be used to monitor bird populations. While more species are reported to eBird, there are generally lower counts of each species in eBird. Species associated with …

Balance performance in people with Parkinson’s disease. Effects of subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation.
… was evaluated by using the Berg balance scale (BBS: higher scores denote "better" balance). STN stimulation alone significantly increased the BBS-scores both at short and long-term follow-ups (3 years). There are thus no indices that STN stimulation by itself affects functional balance …

Effective Actions for Strongly Interacting Fermionic Systems
… systems featuring bosonic bound states (BBS) and spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB). In a purely fermionic language proceeding into the SSB phase requires techniques beyond perturbation theory and renormalization group equations. Improvement comes from a description with BBS fields and …

Climatic and edaphic influences on the radial growth of eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana), Smoke Hole Canyon, West Virginia
… Canyon, West Virginia. The three study sites (BBS, EAR, and TNC) are well within the distribution of J. virginiana, but are typically drier and rockier than other locations in close proximity. Tree-ring series were analyzed for their response and sensitivity to climate. The presence of …

Aspects of Japanese computer-mediated communication : linguistics and socio-cultural perspectives
… sent to open-access bulletin board system (BBS) websites. It first compares quantitatively CMC language with speech and writing and finds that interjections distinguish speech from CMC and writing. CMC is distinguished from writing by uses of particles. Uses of auxiliary verbs separate the …

Examining Avian Communities in Wetlands at Multiple Spatial Extents
… from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) and the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) to develop a set of spatially-explicit abundance models for each of 31 species of wetland-breeding birds. Independent variables in these models included combinations of three different aquatic …

Land Cover Change and the Breeding Bird Survey: Rates of Change in Relation to Roads
… conducted along road-side transects. Based on BBS assumptions that land cover is the same adjacent to roads as it is away from roads the overall goal of this study is to determine if landscape changes have occurred on a broad scale over an expanded time period and if these landscape changes …
