This is further complicated by recent legislative changes that have altered who is eligible for care and who is not, including the introduction of an immigration health surcharge that accompanies visa applications [25]. Previous research has shown patients’ concerns about being charged for care ...
there could be a main effect of age, with children and perhaps older adults showing a larger effect of bilingualism on EF than young adults. Alternatively, if the bilingual advantage was specific to global RT or interference cost, there could be an interaction between...
Ford Europe has outlined its plans to cut costs by £75m as part of the company's global £9bn cost-cutting drive. The motor manufacturer is adopting a three-pronged cost-cutting program. Projects that are not judged to be important to customers or manufacturers or are not aimed at ...
Between 2000 and 2010, the population in the Delaware Basin increased by half a million people, an amount equal to the combined population of the cities of Camden, Trenton, and Wilmington. The Delaware Estuary extends 130 mi (208 km) from the Atlantic Ocean to the head of tide at Trenton...
2. System Modeling The configuration of the AC-stacked PV inverter system studied in this paper is shown in Figure 1. The whole system consists of n series-connected PV inverter units, where each inverter has an independent output LC filter. These AC-stacked inverters are then connected to ...
The capital recovery factor (CRF) is given by Equation (3), which is computed for a lifetime (n) of 25 years and an interest rate (i) of 10.33% [5]. The investment (Zk) of a process unit k is given by Equation (4). annCAPEX = CRF·∑ Zk k (2) CRF = i·(1 + i)n ...
