Rangeland Condition Assessment Based on Economic Criteria

Criteria list for assessment of methodological quality of economic evaluations: Consensus on Health Economic Criteria.

OBJECTIVES The aim of the Consensus on Health Economic Criteria (CHEC) project is to develop a criteria list for assessment of the methodological quality of economic evaluations in systematic reviews. The criteria list resulting from this CHEC project should be regarded as a minimum standard. METHODS The criteria list has been developed using a Delphi method. Three Delphi rounds were needed t...

Health Economic Assessment: Cost-Effectiveness Thresholds and Other Decision Criteria

An article published in this Journal argued that New Zealand does not apply a cost-effectiveness threshold because medicines are funded within a fixed budget and because cost-effectiveness is only one of nine criteria that inform decisions. This Comment has explained that, from a theoretical perspective, the cost-effectiveness threshold model is not inconsistent with these two arguments. The ob...

Bridge Structural Condition Assessment Based on Vibration and Traffic Monitoring

A stochastic model of traffic excitation on bridges is developed assuming that the arrival of vehicles traversing a bridge modeled as an elastic beam follows a Poisson process, and that the contact force of a vehicle on the bridge deck can be converted to equivalent dynamic loads at the nodes of the beam elements. The parameters in this model, such as the Poisson arrival rate and the stochastic...

The Criteria of Economic Justice

Criteria, criteria and general areas make it easy to measure the concept through the index. The criterion of measurement may be derived from the causal or causal method. In this descriptive-analytical method through conceptual explanation, in this paper, four concepts of economic justice are first considered independently and attempted to present a standard a priori method for each concept in i...
