The objective of this article is to stratify interventions for diabetes according to their economic impact. We conducted a review of the literature to select articles that performed a cost-benefit analysis for 17 widely practiced interventions for diabetes. A scale for categorizing interventions according to their economic impact was defined. The 17 interventions were classified as follows: 1) ...

Reuse of medical device is accepted worldwide. Benefits of reuse include not only cost saving but a favorable impact on environment. However, certain requirements should be met for reuse to be safe and effective. The devices, which can be reused, should be clearly defined, a meticulous process for dis-infection and sterilization followed and its functionality ascertained before use. Further, an...

IEEE 802.16e standard have been designed for both delay sensitive and delay tolerant applications. This paper presents energy-saving strategies by extending unavailability interval for multiple power saving classes simultaneously. The proposed model allows mobile stations to dynamically adopt multiple sleep mode operation or multiple partial sleep mode operation based on the buffer status of po...

Finally, applies the above theory to the design of energy saving control system in X company’s office...

Home testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea increases screening rates, but the cost consequences of this intervention are unclear. We examined the cost differences between home-based and clinic-based testing and the cost-effectiveness of home testing based on the DAISY study, a randomized controlled trial. Direct and indirect costs were estimated for home and clinic testing, and cost-effectiveness...

The use of effective software in Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) can contribute significantly towards cost reduction and improvement in production rate. The most important elements of CAPP are the ability to effectively evaluate various machining process sequences and the utilization of the most appropriate machining parameters including machines, tools and tool grades and tool angles, c...

This paper presents the energy saving methods and energy storage system to be required for the highly efficient cargo system in container terminal. The best proper method of energy saving is decided by the operation method of cargo handling system and the saving effect of this method is studied. The advantage and disadvantage of battery as energy saving system is studied. The battery in several...

Green building is a new building system which based positive cycle of ecological system, green economy, energy-saving society and green technology. [2] The pattern of green building is an important research of architecture style in the present society. The energy-saving in illumination system is an important pattern in energy-saving field and is of great significance. Illumination system is a t...
