Re-Estimation of LMS Time-of-Day Module Project: Estimation Results — 2002

This study for the Transport Research Centre (AVV) of the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management has estimated two sets of models of the choice of time of travel, based exclusively on stated preference (SP) data. The objective of estimating these two sets of models was to obtain the maximum understanding of the circumstances influencing the choice of time-of-day of travel through the detailed models, then to obtain (for the simplified models) formulae which were more closely suited to implementation in the national model system for transport and traffic, LMS.

Is prison a training ground for extremists? RAND Europe explores radicalisation and recruitment in European prisons.

Regionale luchthavens in Nederland
(Regional Airports in the Netherlands): Een raamwerk voor het bepalen van het maatschappelijk belang van regionale luchthavens in Nederland (A Framework to Determine the Added Value of the Regional Airports in the Netherlands) — 2004

This report describes the added value of the six regional airports in the Netherlands. The added value of an airport is the balance between the profitability of an airport on the one hand and environmental effects on the other. The study concludes that Rotterdam and Eindhoven have substantial positive added value; Maastricht could have a positive added value; and Groningen, Enschede and Lelystad probably have a negative added value.

Regulatory cultures and research governance — 2013

This is a comparative study of the practice of those who are subject to regulatory requirements in the health research, medical drugs, environmental and financial sectors conducted to assist understanding of health research governance in the UK.

Taking into account improvements of the reliability of travel times in cost-benefit analyses (CBA) of infrastructure investments is likely to become standard practice in the Netherlands. In order to make this possible, it is necessary to have a well-...

Remuneration and its Motivation of Service Personnel: Focus Group Investigation and Analysis — 2007

This document, prepared for the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), presents key findings and trends from a series of focus groups which RAND Europe conducted at a tri-Service level.

Responding to Convergence: Different approaches for Telecommunication regulators — 2011

This report describes the phenomenon of convergence in communications and audiovisual content markets and determines its impact on regulations and market governance. It draws useful lessons from approaches applied in the U.S., U.K., and South Korea.

Responsibility in the Global Information Society: Towards Multi-stakeholder Governance — 2007

In a world where information and communication technologies (ICT) are fast becoming ubiquitous and indispensable, the ICT industry has a crucial enabling role in social, economic and human development. The report, which was prepared for British Telecommunication’s annual Hot Topic Series, assesses the ICT sector’s responsibilities, and identifies the kind of actions that can be taken through a ‘multi-stakeholder governance’ approach.

Retrieval of Stratospheric NO2 Vertical Profiles from Ground-Based Zenith-Sky DOAS Measurements: Results for the MANTRA 1998 Field Campaign — 2005

In this paper, we use the optimal estimation method developedby Rodgers (1976, 1990) to retrieve NO2 vertical profiles from slant column observations made with aportable ultraviolet (UV)-visible zenith-sky spectrometer operated on the ground during the Middle AtmosphereNitrogen TRend Assessment (MANTRA) balloon campaign carried out at Vanscoy, Saskatchewan, Canada (52°N,107°W), from 18 to 25 August 1998.

The Returns from Arthritis Research Volume 1: Approach, Analysis and Recommendations — 2004

This report, prepared for and funded by the Arthritis Research Campaign (arc), presents the results of an evaluation of 16 research grants. The report presents a framework that conceptualises the relationship between research inputs, process, output and outcomes. The researchers make several conclusions, including that there is a diversity of research payback; the researcher drives translation; short, focused project grants provide value; and flexibility in funding is used advantageously.

The Returns from Arthritis Research Volume 2: The Case Studies — 2004

This report, prepared for and funded by the Arthritis Research Campaign (arc), presents the results of an evaluation of 16 research grants awarded by arc in the early 1990s. The main objective was to develop a system for evaluating arthritis research, with a view to allowing arc to stimulate and manage the exploitation of research advances so that they translate into practical benefit. Volume 2 of the report presents a collection of the case studies used in the study and provide a narrative on the payback of each research grant.

The Returns from Health Care Efficiency Research in the Netherlands — 2006
