Biomedical questions should be applicable to human clinical studies and more feasible to answer with PET imaging versus other, possibly less resource-intensive, tools.
Under these circumstances, running full-blown numerical models becomes impractical and resource intensive, and simpler and faster tools are needed.
Despite rapid advances made in the science of ecosystem services and the sophistication of tools, many tools remain time and resource intensive to run (Bagstad et al. 2013).
While some of these diagnostic tools remain highly resource intensive, they are increasingly used in clinical settings, as they provide rich and systematic information to inform service provisions where those are available.
However, when integrated with a data quality improvement strategy, temporal cluster detection need not be resource intensive and is a useful public health tool, whether the results are negative or positive in terms of finding a cluster of concern.
16 17 However, these tools are time consuming and resource intensive, typically taking many hours to complete by a multidisciplinary group of professionals.
Thus, the PARA-SCI is resource intensive because it was developed, as a research tool, to be used in epidemiological studies.
Second, the tools were inexpensive, easy to use, and not resource intensive; an important consideration during times of limited government spending [ 24].
Testing revealed that practices will use tools that are concise and actionable and are not perceived as being resource intensive.
The development of these algorithms has been a long and resource intensive process. 1 The current research addresses this important subject by developing a tool for identifying adverse outcomes in the Netherlands.
Producing meat is more resource intensive than growing vegetables.
