Because of its relevance to human mental health, evolutionary biology, and as a potential low-cost complement to other measures, contagious yawning is a useful and perhaps under-utilized tool for studying empathy functioning.
Whereas traditional dengue data from official sources are often not available until after some substantial delay, web search query data are available in near real-time and could serve as a useful low-cost complement to traditional surveillance.
With whole-genome sequencing becoming faster and cheaper due to the advent of high-throughput technologies, optical mapping was recognised as a comparably fast and low-cost complement to provide long-range information.
They tend to have low start-up costs and complement the big chains rather than competing with them.
She wore a dress estimated to have cost $70,000 complemented by a $3m gem set that was a present from her father.
The results were comparable for both types of surveillance, leading to the conclusion that passive data constitute a potential cost-effective complement to active data collection, especially interesting because the former encompass a greater number of sources.
After analyzing model behaviors, we perform extensive simulations to validate the economic utility of the proposed data-driven audits, which can be a cost-efficient complement to existing shelf inventory control.
The results demonstrated favorable improvements in firefighter safety, workers' compensation injury claims and costs, and complement what we have seen in other countries where similar RM methodologies have been institutionalized for all fire services.
Given that many key aspects of the study and treatment of disease are intimately linked to population-level genomic diversity, our SBE-based technique provides a scalable and cost-effective complement to both traditional and next generation sequencing methodologies.
A Markov model was built based on effectiveness and cost data, complemented with a probabilistic sensitivity analysis.
