Objective: Evaluation of the costs of a population-based genetic hemochromatosis (HH) screening. Methods: We performed a decision tree analysis and subsequently quantified the screening and treatment costs and the effect ...

Background: The aim of the study was to determine the costs of treating schizophrenia from the perspective of the statutory health insurance, as well as the identification of predictors of hospitalisation of formerly stable ...

A growing demand for low-cost gas sensors capable of detecting the smallest amounts of highly toxic substances in air, including chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), has emerged in recent ...

Models based on factors such as size or value are ubiquitous in asset pricing. Therefore, portfolio allocation and risk management require estimates of the volatility of these factors. While realized volatility has become ...

Integrated photonics has recently become a leading platform for the realization and processing of optical entangled quantum states in compact, robust and scalable chip formats, with applications in long-distance quantum-secured ...

We report on a kerfless exfoliation approach to further reduce the costs of crystalline silicon photovoltaics making use of evaporated Al as a double functional layer. The Al serves as the stress inducing element to drive ...

In Germany, more than one third of the installed wind energy capacity will leave the feed-in tariff funding between 2021 and 2025. Operators of affected turbines are therefore increasingly concerned with the design of ...

A decade after the publication of seminal papers on personal carbon trading (PCT), few empirical studies on its implementation exist. Investigating how to design, set up and implement a PCT scheme for a community or country ...

Tool and mould manufacturers typically prepare their quotation provide an accurate price of, for example, a die casting mould is a key competitive factor for such companies. However, particularly in the customised production ...

Polymer optical sensors have attracted significant scientific interest due to the advantages of flexibility and low-cost mass-production possibilities. A main challenge in integration of all-polymer systems is interfacing ...
