But that was easily linked to one of Facebook's existing business: Titan's drones can stay airborne for five years, making them a cost-effective replacement for orbital satellites and crucial for Facebook's Internet.org project to connect the developing world to the internet.
The technology leveled the playing field, making disk storage a cost-effective replacement for tape worldwide.
The need for acceptable and cost-effective replacement inhalers, combined with opportunities to develop generic formulations of patent-expired drugs, has fuelled a lively response from the pharmaceutical industry.
Gulf of Maine redfish used to be used as lobster bait, and now is a healthy, delicious, cost-effective replacement for tilapia.
The Stockholm Convention Secretariat plans to prevent future uses of DDT, even though there is no cost-effective replacement for DDT.
On this basis, the prototype was developed as a cost-effective replacement for commercial NIR devices and was tested in clinical setting.
Faster pretreatment time, a bisulfite charge much less than that of bleachable grade bisulfite pulping, and avoiding bleaching and related unit operations downstream makes the cost of pretreatment more consistent with what can be a cost-effective replacement for sugar.
Scale-up of yeast extract usage will be expensive, whereas corn steep liquor may be a suitable and more cost-effective replacement [ 39], especially since it is conceptually possible to produce this in a biorefinery or at least in conjunction with corn-based feedstock processing.
Nevertheless, some investigators reported that exhaled NO measurement had limited value in the direct diagnosis of pulmonary TB, although it revealed 84% sensitivity and 67% specificity, but it may be worth developing as a cost-effective replacement of chest radiography in screening algorithms of pulmonary TB, where chest radiography is not available [ 25].
None of the renewable sources he names are practical, cost-effective replacements for our energy needs.
This paper reports the results of a preliminary feasibility study on the potential for oligomers to function as environmentally benign and cost-effective replacements for liquid solvents.
