Dental fillings represent an established procedure to treat tooth decay. The present paper provides a cost comparison of dental filling procedures across nine European countries. More specifically, the paper aims to estimate the costs and prices (i.e. reimbursement fees) of a single dental filling procedure in an approximately 12-year-old child with a toothache in a lower molar who presents at ...

OBJECTIVES The goals were to estimate nationally representative pediatric practices' costs of providing influenza vaccination during the 2006-2007 season and to simulate the costs pediatric practices might incur when implementing universal influenza vaccination for US children aged 6 months to 18 years. METHODS We surveyed a stratified, random sample of New York State pediatric practices (N =...

A methodology has been developed to determine the relative values of surgical procedures and medical office visits on the basis of resource costs. The time taken to perform the service and the complexity of that service are the most critical variables. Inter-specialty differences in the opportunity costs of training and overhead expenses are also considered. Results indicate some important diff...

The application potential of aluminium conductor composite core (ACCC) conductors in the 1000-kV power transmission line project deserves to be investigated. Its economic evaluation is a contentious issue. This paper proposes method for selecting type based on life cycle cost (LCC) line, which includes initial investments, operation costs, maintenance failure and discard costs. mathematical mod...

Image space occlusion culling is an useful approach to reduce the rendering load of large polygonal models. Like most large model techniques, it trades overhead costs with the rendering costs of the possibly occluded geometry. Meanwhile, modern graphics hardware supports occlusion culling. Unfortunately these hardware extensions consume fillrate and latency costs. In this paper, we propose a ne...

The basic costs of the operations for implementing fuel reduction treatments are used to evaluate treatment effectiveness, select among alternatives, estimate total project costs, and build national program strategies. However, a review of the literature indicates that there is questionable basis for many of the general estimates used to date. Different approaches to estimating cost have been u...

To compute the net profits in a Net Profit Deal, the record company deducts off the top its actual outof-pocket costs for recording, manufacturing, promotion, marketing, etc. Some labels also deduct a so-called “Overhead Fee” of 10 to 15% of the gross record sales income. After the record company deducts all of these expenses and reimburses itself, the label then pays the artist whatever percen...

In mobile robotics, there are often features that, while potentially powerful for improving navigation, prove difficult to profit from as they generalize poorly to novel situations. Overhead imagery data, for instance, have the potential to greatly enhance autonomous robot navigation in complex outdoor environments. In practice, reliable and effective automated interpretation of imagery from di...
