Accurate and Cost-Effective Mini CNC Plotter

Telemedicine evaluation of acute burns is accurate and cost-effective.

BACKGROUND As the number of US burn centers has declined, access to burn care is increasingly limited. Inexperience in burn wound assessment by referring physicians often results in overtriage or undertriage. In an effort to improve access to burn care in our region, we instituted a program of telemedicine evaluation of acute burns. METHODS We created a telemedicine network linking our burn c...

Energy and cost efficiency in CNC machining

General cost for CNC machining and the associated energy cost are set in the context of making economic and environmental improvements. This creates an incentive for manufacturing companies to investigate the energy efficiency of manufacturing processes. The paper presents a costing model, based on machining experiments. The model is accompanied with an industry based case to estimate the cost ...

Is Taurolidine-citrate an effective and cost-effective hemodialysis cathe-ter lock solution? A systematic review and cost- effectiveness analysis

Background: Prevention of catheter-related infection is of prime importance,. However, because of the risks caused by the leakage of circulating antibiotics and development of resistance to antibiotics, they are replaced by lock solutions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and cost- effectiveness of taurolidine-citrate as a hemodialysis catheter lock solution compared to other ...

Augmented Reality Equation Plotter

Motivation: A student in a math, science, or engineering class will undoubtedly come across an equation in the course of his or her studies that the student will want to quickly visualize. Plotting the equation allows the student to better understand some property of the real variables the equation relates. However, this may still be difficult for younger students that are working on building t...
