Need for redefining needs (2003)
Journal Article
Asadi-Lari, M., Packham, C., & Gray, D. (2003). Need for redefining needs. Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 1(1),

Defining needs is difficult due to the inherent complexity of the concept of 'need', so it is not surprising that numerous definitions have been proposed. 'Health' consists of a wide range of characteristics so 'health needs' ought to include persona... Read More about Need for redefining needs.

Is quality of life measurement likely to be a proxy for health needs assessment in patients with coronary artery disease? (2003)
Journal Article
Asadi-Lari, M., Packham, C., & Gray, D. (2003). Is quality of life measurement likely to be a proxy for health needs assessment in patients with coronary artery disease?. Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 1(1),

BACKGROUND: The identification of patients' health needs is pivotal in optimising the quality of health care, increasing patient satisfaction and directing resource allocation. Health needs are complex and not so easily evaluated as health-related qu...

Rippling in PVS (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Adams, A. A., & Dennis, L. A. (2003). Rippling in PVS. In M. Archer, B. Di Vito, & C. Munoz (Eds.),

Rippling is a method of controlling rewriting of the terms in an induction step of an inductive proof, to ensure that a position is reached whereby the induction hypothesis can be applied. Rippling was developed primarily by the Mathematical Reasoni... Read More about Rippling in PVS.
