Evaluation of elementary writing skills in children is usually obtained with high resolution (and high cost) techniques or with low resolution pen-and-paper tests.
In contrast to mammography, the ability of the higher cost techniques of CT, MRI and PET to be cost-effective in cancer screening remains to be demonstrated.
Nonetheless, it was revealed that k-fold test is a practical but high-cost technique for complete scanning of applied data and avoiding the over-fitting.
The molecular diagnosis is often made by microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), which has the drawback of being a high-cost technique.
Accumulation-mode devices are an alternative to conventional MOSFETs that do not require high cost ultrafast annealing technique for fabrication of smaller length devices.
However, the qPCR method is a relatively low throughput, high cost, and tedious technique typically performed in a 96 or 384 well plate format.
Factors limiting ICD utilization in China include high cost, the sophisticated technique of implantation, and follow-up procedure, as well as physicians' attitudes toward sudden death.
The unavailability of large scale technologies and high cost of purification techniques are limiting factors to the commercialization of food-derived bioactive peptides.
On the other hand, this approach has potential problems including advanced technique, high cost, and relatively high anesthesia risk.
Furthermore, there are analytical difficulties in detecting and quantifying virus in shellfish samples and in monitoring them; other problems include ascertaining the representativeness of the sample (2, 6 ) and the high cost of applying the technique in areas with extensive mollusk production.
The high cost of mutation scanning techniques and conventional 'Sanger' sequencing has limited systematic searches for rare variants (40), but the recent emergence of clonal sequencing technology (41, 42) makes such work more cost effective.
