Although the Cost Block Programme collected data for a different time period and using a different configuration of units, the similarity between the mean costs per patient day is striking, in particular, the costs of consumables and clinical support services.
Observational follow-up study of a cohort of extremely premature born infants, treated in 2 neonatal intensive care units using a different transfusion volume (15 ml/kg in Unit A and 20 ml/kg in Unit B).
While economies of scale favor large plants, they're bringing down per-unit cost using a different approach.
In contrast, validation and demonstration of equivalence is expected to be more arduous for alternative rapid enumeration methods that are technically distinct from the current standard method and that deliver results using a different metric (for example, relative light units or number of cells with enzymatic activity).
If we had used a different initial unit of measurement, our final cubic units would differ.
The two policies use a different atomic unit for detecting near-optimal plans (i.e., the Slots' allocation uses a single slot while the VMs' Allocations reserves a whole VM) so the two algorithms will traverse the search space differently.
The research managers noted that in some nursing homes the Director of Care and healthcare aides would use a different name for a given unit (e.g., 'dementia unit' rather than the formal unit name).
Rather than introduce a complete classification system in one stroke, these countries have phased in DRGs, in some cases with hospitals volunteering to participate as a first step (Korea), and in others using a blend of different units for hospital payment, including length of stay, and fee-for-service (Japan).
The three treatments were applied in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design on a commercial farm in seven replicates using seven different units containing eight pens per unit.
Make sure you have a few games using different units and different strategies.
