Dutch health economic guidelines include a costing manual, which describes preferred research methodology for costing studies and reference prices to ensure high quality studies and comparability between study outcomes.This paper describes the most important revisions of the costing manual compared to the previous version.An online survey was sent
Symptomless turnip yellows virus infection causes grain yield loss in lentil and field pea: A three-year field study in south-eastern Australia
Turnip yellows virus (TuYV) is a damaging virus that is persistently transmitted by aphids and infects a wide range of grain hosts including lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), field pea (Pisum sativum L.) and canola (Brassica napus L., oilseed rape).Although information is available about the effects of TuYV infection on grain yield in canola, data abo
Multi-Period Heat Exchanger Network Design Based on Periodic Heat Storage Approach
Process hot and cold stream parameters in chemical processes and allied plants do change from time to time due to issues such as changes in environmental conditions, plant start-ups/shut-downs, changes in product quality demand or changes in feedstock quality supply, etc.These changes, which may be predictable or unpredictable, need to be catered f
Dynamic Fault Tree Model of Civil Aircraft Avionics Network Transmission Failure Based on Optimized Extended Fuzzy Algorithm
The avionics network supports high-safety-level flight operations, with the analysis of transmission failures serving as a crucial means for its safety evaluation.Due to the time-dependent nature of the failure probability in avionics networks, traditional constant and unchangeable probability values can deviate from the actual situation under spec
