There is a growing evidence base on the cost effectiveness of malaria interventions. However, certain characteristics of malaria decision problems present a challenge to the application of healthcare economic evaluation methods. This paper identifies five such challenges. The complexities of (i) declining incidence and cost effectiveness in the context of an elimination campaign; (ii) internati...

The fast mineral exploration system with remote sensing is a brand new exploration system of recognition, identification, analysis and prediction. It takes metallogenic materials as the detection targets, uses the spectrum measuring technique as detection means and takes the spatial and temporal sequence of mineralization and alteration information as an evaluation basis. It develops and improv...

This study investigated children's evaluations of peer group members who deviated from group norms about equal and unequal allocation of resources. Children, ages 3.5 to 4 years and 5 to 6 years (N = 73), were asked to evaluate a peer group member who deviated from 1 of 2 group allocation norms: (a) equal allocation of resources, or (b) unequal allocation of resources. Most children negatively ...

Review of theoretical models for cost-effectiveness and of procedures currently being used by different levels of decision makers to evaluate the projects or alternatives is the main objective of this article. To come to some conclusion that which theoretical model would be more effective to be applied for allocating the limited resources among different projects. the performance evaluation pro...

This paper summarises the main outcomes of theMobile Resource Guarantees (MRG) project, a three year project funded by the EC under the FET proactive initiative on Global Computing, and discusses follow-up work in new projects that will build on these results.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationships among bone mineral density (BMD), static alignment and the adduction moment of the knee in patients with tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Sixty-nine patients with medial compartment knee OA underwent radiographic evaluation, gait analysis and BMD measurements at the proximal tibia and lumbar spine. RESULTS The bone mineral distribution of ...

Current approaches to supporting real-time communication allocate network resources either to individual connections, or to aggregates of connections, based on type of traac, protocol, or performance requirements. The rst approach provides well-deened performance guarantees that are independent of other network traac. The second approach may achieve higher utilization of network resources, but ...

Web information resource evaluation (website evaluation) becomes more and more important, as the web information resources become larger and more complex. Thus, a lot of theory and methods have been developed to evaluate websites. In this paper, the author analyzes the primary methods applied currently in the evaluation of the web information resource and points out the main problems in this ar...

Human resource environment (HRE)of enterprises has a great influence on the growth of staff and enterprise performance, so it is necessary to do the evaluation of enterprise human resource environment. This paper constructs a human resource environment(HRE) evaluation index system formed by three first-level and fourteen secondary-level indicators, and delegates it weight through the method of ...
