However, how valid is this assumption? In The Roles of Public Opinion Research in Canadian Government, Christopher Page presents a major scholarly investigation into the uses and effectiveness of polls and focus groups." "The Role of Public Opinion Research in Canadian Government demonstrates that opinion research has a greater variety of roles than is often recognized, and that, despite conventional wisdom, its foremost impact is to help governments determine how to communicate with citizens. It is an essential contribution to the study of Canadian politics, filling a major gap in the scholarship."--Jacket.Institute of Public Administration of Canada series in public management and governance.Political planningCanadaPublic opinionCanadaFederal governmentCanadaPublic opinionCanadaPolitics and government1980-Public opinionElectronic books.

Due to various key features such as miniaturized antenna design, low power, high data rate, less effects on the human body, relatively less crowded spectrum, these technologies are becoming popular in various fields of biomedical applications and day-to-day life. The book highlights various aspects of these technologies related to body-centric communication, including antenna design requirements, channel modeling and characterization for WBANs, current fabrication and antenna design strategies for textile, flexible and implanted antennas. Apart from the general requirements and study related to these frequency bands, various application specific topics such as localization and tracking, physical activity recognition and assessment, vital sign monitoring and medical imaging are covered indetail. The book concludes with the glimpses of future aspects of the UWB and 60 GHz technology which includes IoT for healthcare and smart living, novel antenna materials and application of machine learning algorithms for overall performance enhancement.Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering,1876-1119 ;787Biomedical engineeringBuilding materialsBiophysicsNanoscienceSignal processingNanotechnologyComputational intelligenceBiomedical Engineering and BioengineeringWood, fabric, and textilesNanoscale BiophysicsSignal, Speech and Image ProcessingNanoengineeringComputational IntelligenceBiomedical engineering.Building materials.Biophysics.Nanoscience.Signal processing.Nanotechnology.Computational intelligence.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.Wood, fabric, and textiles.Nanoscale Biophysics.Signal, Speech and Image Processing.Nanoengineering.Computational Intelligence.621.384135Koul Shiban K.726856Bharadwaj RichaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910502632603321Wearable antennas and body centric communication2882976UNINA
