Similarly, the CBH reaction period was incrementally reduced from that of the base case, with all other parameters held at base case values, to determine any effect on the production of glucose and cellobiose over time.
Relative preference for within-group mixing was estimated by [% of potential partners in group X] / [(% of potential partners in group X) + α(1 – % of potential partners in group X ], where α (the assortment variable) ranged from 0.4 for relatively assortive mixing (base-case value) to –0.4 for relatively disassortive mixing.
The base case value is assumed to be 0.3 mg/g rock based on the average laboratory measurement.
However, Kahn et al. 2006 [39] used US$8,000 as the base case value, implying 50% access to ongoing ART, and explored a wide range from US $4,000 to US$12,000.
When the cost of the viral load test kit is reduced to 50% of its base case value, the ICER for viral load decreases to $3 3166464% of base case).
When these effects were reduced by 50%%, the cost-per-life-year saved increased from a base case value of ¥12,281 (US$1,899) to ¥24,549 (US$3,797).
The mean dimensionless production temperature is closest to the base case value when the wellbore spacing is small and there is less opportunity for the conductance to vary in the inter-wellbore region.
AKI-associated in-hospital costs were calculated for 2013 according to DRG-related calculation for single diagnosis/ procedure and adjusted to nationwide base case value for reimbursement.
10,000 model simulations were conducted and in each simulation the following parameters were randomly assigned to their base case value or an increased/decreased value: vaccination rate (70% or 85%), vaccine price (market price or market price reduced with 25%), treatment cost (base case value or reduced with 25%), discount rate (3% or 5%) and time horizon (62 years and 40 years).
