A low-cost, cross-country vehicle known as the Yak Yeoman, developed by Manchester garages, uses high volume Ford escort components to reduce costs. Instead of incorporating costly four-wheel drive, an automatic differential lock to avoid wheelspin is used. Only fine forming tools are needed for...
Regulatory, focusing on the mitigation strategy of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and the abiding cost-effective analyses. 1.1 Social Domain Regarding the social domain, besides driving mitigation of GHGs, it was proven that climate change mitigation actions can deliver non-climate benefits (co-im...
which has attracted increasing scholarly interest. Since Boardman pioneered the 10% indicator for the energy poverty condition in the United Kingdom, various standards like the 2M indicator (double the median share of household expenditure on energy), low-income high cost (LIHC) indicator, ...
Buildings represent a critical part of a low-carbon future and a global challenge for integration into sustainable development (Lucon et al., 2014). Mitigation in this sector, other than cost savings, are accompanied by a diverse set of cobenefits, including energy security, fewer energy subside...
Key research questions were identified: 1) What are the epidemic burdens of HIV/AIDS in cross-country migrants living in LMICs?; 2) What are the obstacles hampering the access to health services and what are the related HIV/AIDS risks in the migrant population?; and 3) What is the opera...
We propose an ultra-low-cost at-home blood pressure monitor that leverages a plastic clip with a spring-loaded mechanism to enable a smartphone with a flash LED and camera to measure blood pressure. Our system, called BPClip, is based on the scientific premise of measuring oscillometry at the...
For example, working through options for measurement and monitoring that are low-cost, sustainable, and require limited ongoing maintenance (such as open source data) required the research team to be agile, creative, and outward-looking. Further, this study and the (re)conceptualisation of ...
Second, when the marginal cost of emission mitigation is lower than the carbon price, businesses are more likely to enhance emission mitigation in order to profit from the excess quota (Shakil et al. 2019). ETS can incentivise businesses to cut emissions through market transactions in this way,...
So why is ecPoint “low cost”? Providing the control run forecasts we use for calibration is orders of magnitude cheaper than providing the multi-year ensemble re-forecasts needed by many other PP methods. And in operations, ecPoint’s own computations are many orders of magnitude cheaper than...
The world must ambitiously curtail greenhouse gas emissions to achieve climate stability. The literature often supposes that a low-carbon future will depend on a mix of technological innovation—improving the performance of new technologies and systems—
