In addition, simple, non-invasive and cost-efficient tests are very useful for determining vascular risks [ 10].
Since PCR-based cost-efficient testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 can detect mainly pre-selected mutations, the more recurrent mutations included in the screening, the greater efficiency of the testing.
In the present health-care environment, it is critical to develop a cost-effective, efficient testing strategy that maximizes the diagnostic potential of even limited specimens.
For this reason, it is necessary to accurately quantify the impact of increasing the recycled asphalt content in asphalt pavement on the structural cracking resistance of the pavement through the use of low-cost and efficient testing procedures that can be implemented easily.
Time and cost efficient: All the testing methodologies are required to be time efficient and of low cost, but this often conflicts with the requirement of being realistic.
"At what point — if you're running a financial model — does it become cost efficient to cover testing from the perspective of QALYs [or quality-adjusted life-years]?" he asked.
Universal genetic tests that can be performed in large numbers of patients are vastly more cost efficient than personalized genetic tests.
The widely in use Widal test provides a cost efficient alternative [ 6] for serological diagnosis, however its performance remains unsatisfying with sensitivity reported from Tanzania of 75% using blood culture as the gold standard and applying a cut off titer of 1 80 [ 7].
In addition, test strip experiments containing probe 1 were carried out, and the results indicated that this method has the potential to be used in a low-cost, practical and efficient test kit for pH determination.
This study focuses on characterizing the cracking performance of asphalt pavements in Oregon by considering four tests commonly used to evaluate fatigue cracking resistance and proposing the implementation of the most cost-effective and efficient test procedure for agencies and contractors.
The budget available for these studies has remained relatively constant; therefore, we are exploring ways in which research and testing programs can be more cost efficient.
