INTRODUCTION Although RTS as HIV Diagnosis was considered cost effectiveness [1], overall budget may be unaffordable for some countries. We explore Incremental cost per NDHI associated with different TS. MATERIALS AND METHODS From a health care perspective, using direct costs and Euros currency, we calculated budget and cost per NDHI of RTS (all patients were tested), TTS (Universal risk prac...

Demand for software is increasing day by day due to its more usage in IT industries. It is a mega challenge for software industry to develop very high quality software effectively within stipulated time and budget. To accomplish this challenge, the software development process needs to be effectively managed and well planned. It is very important to have good effort estimation in order to manag...

Zero Budget Sustainability is a high potential service offered by Ploos Energieverlening. In this service, external financers invest in energy saving measures when the owner of the building lacks budget. The resulting savings are used to repay the investor. Currently, both financers and building owners lack confidence in the forecasted savings. It has been indicated that an independent scientif...

Energy simulation models are developed with EnergyPlus for two office buildings in a R&D center in Shanghai, China to evaluate the energy cost savings of green building design options compared with the baseline building. As a R&D center of an international IT corporation, there are data centers in the two buildings, which make them different from typical office buildings. The data centers house...

the nonlinear budget set in the labor supply application, Figure A1 depicts a nonlinear budget set induced by a simple progressive tax. The after-tax wage, w, that a worker faces varies with the tax rate, t.2 The labor supply application examines the effect of the after-tax wage (the slope) on hours (the horizontal axis) controlling for income (the vertical axis). Similarly, I examine the effec...

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of modulated electrohyperthermia (mEHT) concurrent to dose-dense temozolomide (ddTMZ) 21/28 days regimen versus ddTMZ 21/28 days alone in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). DESIGN A cohort of 54 patients with recurrent GBM treated with ddTMZ+mEHT in 2000-2005 was systematically retrospectively compared with five pooled ddTMZ 21/...

We introduce endogenous directed technical change into integrated climate policy assessment. Our model builds on state-of-the-art theory as well as econometric data. We apply our model to the assessment of a carbon budget based climate policy. Motivated by the announcement of international transfers during recent climate policy negotiations, we vary the begin of endogenous international transfe...

This paper presents a new merit function for custom instruction selection phase of the design flow of application-specific instruction-set processors (ASIPs) in the presence of an area budget constraint. In contrast to nearly all of the previously proposed approaches where ratio of the ASIP speed to layout area is used as a merit function to select the candidate custom instructions (CIs), we sh...

creating joint-use libraries, backed to 100 years ago, unfortunately many countries have not yet began to build such libraries. regarding the increasing number of libraries, the most important issue for interaction between libraries as places of intellectual life and centers for activities is to create joint-use libraries and information places for the public. it is obvious that building such n...
