What exists now that didn't exist then is the Internet; it will be interesting to see whether alternative and less costly modes of distribution will ever prove commercially viable — or whether many filmmakers will, like many musicians and poets, make their living as professors in a conservatory-like setting, or, for that matter, make their living elsewhere.
The expense of these chemicals and reliance on costly modes of application using dipping tanks or spray races have meant that combating these diseases in most developing countries was a community centred effort often borne entirely by the government.
However, for the most costly modes of delivery, GDM patients had higher rates of elective caesarean section (12.4 vs. 7.8%; P = 0.0080) and emergency caesarean section (13.6 vs. 7.7%; P = 0.0010), and these differences were statistically different from zero at the 1% level of significance.
USPS already implemented new regulations in 2012 that require the less-costly modes of delivery for new addresses unless the agency approves exceptions.
Intensivists in tertiary care facilities are forced to make difficult and costly transport mode decisions without guidance from the literature.
Home visit were the most frequent and the most costly contact mode (CHF 263 or €1588 per contact).
The commonest mode of public transport is a taxi, a costly way to commute or to look for work.
When fitness costs are decelerating, investing in this same mode of adaptation is not only the most efficient but also the least costly way to reinforce adaptation to host defenses.
The popularity of Slow Travel or logistics would lead to a shift towards rail or maritime or even active modes of mobility, while energy-intensive, fast and more costly transport modes might find themselves under pressure.
Another comment from our focus groups is that the crisis will induce strong incentives to operators toward modal shifts, in particular toward less costly and efficient modes of transport (railway and maritime transport in the first place).
