The Consolidated Approach to Intervention Adaptation (CLARION): Developing and undertaking an empirically and theoretically driven intervention adaptation by Lydia Ould Brahim, Sylvie D. Lambert, Nancy Feeley, Jane McCusker, Dan Bilsker, Mark J. Yaffe, Rosetta Antonacci, Stephanie Robins, John William Kayser, Christine Genest, Haida Paraskevopoulos, Jessica Blair, Andrea Laizner

“…Abstract Background Intervention adaptation, the deliberate modification of the design or delivery of interventions to a new context, is more resource efficient than de novo development. However, adaptation must be approached methodically, as some modifications, such as those to the core components, may compromise the intervention’s initial efficacy. …”

Compensation of Dynamic Phase Error in the Formation of Orthogonal Components of Input Signals in Microprocessor Protections by F. A. Romaniuk, Yu. V. Rumiantsev, V. Yu. Rumiantsev, I. V. Novash

“…The reduction of the influence of these factors on the behavior of measuring elements is ensured by the use of high-speed shapers to isolate orthogonal components, as well as by compensating for dynamic phase error. The proposed method of forming orthogonal components of a signal with compensation for dynamic phase error is based on obtaining orthogonal Fourier components, followed by determining from their samples the calculated components that coincide or are shifted in phase relative to the orthogonal Fourier components, respectively, in steady-state and transient modes. …”
