This cohort study of commercially insured employees assessed the utilization and cost of a comprehensive primary care model that incorporates
Should a higher unemployment rate be seen as technology replacing labor, that could well have a negative impact. Years ago, we heard how large-scale supercomputer competition capable of trillions of calculations a second would also change the world, including weather forecasts. I’m still waiting ...
First, the current condition of Afghanistan’s road network is investigated using a smartphone. Then, collected data are prepared and analyzed so as to estimate the pavement condition index (PCI). Finally, a pavement performance model for PCI is developed using pavement age with an adequate ...
zones or near high-value assets. The price is affordable because the deployments are confined in time and/or space. Homeland Security, in contrast, deals with threats, such as terrorist attacks, that materialize infrequently and can occur anywhere. Surveillance to counter such threats must be ...
three possible sources: economically advantaged waste heat from industrial sources; combustion of hydrogen or ammonia; and combustion of natural gas. Japan’s road map for its hydrogen future envisages the development of a dehydrogenation technology using waste heat, projecting that the first such ...
Base rates can change on a whim (have seen hourly rates that change by US$0.01 within a week) presumably based on market demands and supply (e.g. if the cost of electricity goes up in one region, expect cloud service rates to also increase) Usage-based charges: vCPU hours: Charge ...
In general, the objective of residential energy-efficiency tax credits is to encourage individuals to increase residential energy-efficiency investments and invest in properties that generate renewable energy. This research analyses eight of the available tax credit categories for four climatic zones and ...
For example, correlations between knowledge of occupational diseases and lecture in Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and other economic zone were moderate (rhos > 0.40). Thus, EMFP mainly used lecture to access occupational diseases information in the three economic zones. Thus, ...
socioeconomic pathways SSP126 & SSP370 scenario using five bias-corrected and downscaled global circulation models from the intersectoral impact intercomparison project (ISIMIP3b). (B) Average seasonal distribution of heavy rain events (HRE) during the 2031–2060 horizon over the climatic zones of ...
Every PV configuration has the same size, measured by the concept of installed peak power, with 1 kWp each. As one of the main hypotheses of the study, the cost of materials is assumed to be constant among countries. However, labor costs present a significant degree of heterogeneity. Hence...
