The providers of health care were constituted into relatively autonomous 'self governing NHS Trusts' (still publicly owned), who were supposed to compete with each other, thereby enhancing technical efficiency (that is ensuring the greatest output for the least resources used, i.e. 'value for money') [ 19].
Evidence for aquatic foraging, fishing, and scavenging by hominins dates back at least two million years, but aquatic resource use intensified with the appearance of Homo sapiens.
In studies where aggregation has been considered, at least as an influence on resource use, more clumped cases lead to less efficient resource use (De Boeck et al. 2006; Mokany et al. 2008).
They should work with international organisations to create an "evergreen revolution", which would at least double productivity while reducing resource use and avoiding further biodiversity losses, the report said.
On that basis, there is approximately a shortfall of at least M8bn in the capital resource use of the special clinic that we have been able to account for.
The IUCN has assessed less than half of the world's reptiles, but estimates that at least 1,390 are threatened by "biological resource use".
The ED conversion rate is increasingly recognised as a key determinant of subsequent resource use [ 1], not least because older people admitted to hospital are at high risk of adverse events [ 2– 4], including long stays, high readmission rates and high rates of long-term care use [ 5, 6].
The DRG system classifies cases into a manageable number of categories, which are more or less medically meaningful and in which resource use is the same or at least similar (homogeneous resource use) [ 3].
Soybean single crop was the least productive treatment because of low resource capture and moderate resource use efficiency.
Special challenges - resource use.
