Passively adaptive bend-twist (BT) tidal turbine blades made of non-homogeneous composite materials have the potential to reduce the structural loads on turbines so that smaller more cost effective components can be used.
Even the relatively more costly and less effective treatments of later stages of cancer were found to be cost effective components of the overall treatment strategy, based on falling below the threshold of per capita GDP for each DALY averted.
The semi-finished products serve as overlays, which significantly increase the mechanical performance of the compression-molded components while offering cost-effective component solutions.
This study suggests that unlike the previous studies using proteins, peptides, or synthetic polymers, a polysaccharide, heparin, can be used as a cost-effective component for chemically defined, feeder-free culture of hESC.
However, when produced using locally-available raw materials, with well-formulated mix designs (including in particular consideration of the environmental footprint of the alkaline activator) and production under adequate levels of quality control, alkali-activated binders are potentially an important and cost-effective component of the future toolkit of sustainable construction materials.
In particular, future research should include a cost-effective component in order that health economic outcomes can be assessed.
Rapid PCR identification of microorganisms has the potential to become a cost-effective component for managing sepsis.
1. Prevention (the most reliable and cost-effective component): Suitable equipment, training, experience, information and judgement to avoid getting into trouble in the first place.
Studies have shown that PCR identification using the SeptiFast test has the potential to become a cost-effective component in managing sepsis [ 30- 32].
HIV point-of-care (POC) blood tests have been an essential and cost-effective component of HIV care in outpatient clinics, especially in resource-limited settings [ 8] but increasingly also in higher income settings [ 9].
"The entire field of nanoelectronics depends upon the ability to mass produce cost-effective components," he said, "and she has opened the door to this".
