• Cosmological solutions of $\small \textit{f(T)}$ gravity ﻿

(American Physical Society, 2016-07-28)
In the cosmological scenario in $\small \textit{f(T)}$ gravity, we find analytical solutions for an isotropic and homogeneous universe containing a dust fluid and radiation and for an empty anisotropic Bianchi I universe. ...
• Cost effective interventions for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in low and middle income countries: a systematic review ﻿

(2013-03-28)
Abstract Background While there is good evidence to show that behavioural and lifestyle interventions can reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors in affluent settings, less evidence exists in lower income settings.This ...
• Cost effectiveness of early intensive multifactorial treatment for individuals with screen-detected type 2 diabetes: analysis of the ADDITION-UK cluster randomised controlled trial ﻿

(Wiley on behalf of Diabetes UK, 2014-04-15)
Aims To examine the short and long-term cost-effectiveness of intensive multifactorial treatment compared with routine care among people with screen-detected type 2 diabetes. Methods Cost-utility analysis in ADDITION-UK, ...
• Cost trajectories of low carbon electricity generation technologies: A study of cost uncertainty ﻿

(Elsevier, 2015-08-03)
Cost uncertainty has latterly come to be presented in the UK's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) estimates using sensitivities; 'high' and 'low' figures presented alongside ...
• Cost-Aware Activity Scheduling for Compressive Sleeping Wireless Sensor Networks ﻿

(IEEE, 2016-01-25)
In this paper, we consider a compressive sleeping wireless sensor network (WSN) for monitoring parameters in the sensor field, where only a fraction of sensor nodes (SNs) are activated to perform the sensing task and their ...
• Cost-effective control of plant disease when epidemiological knowledge is incomplete: modelling Bahia bark scaling of citrus. ﻿

(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-08-07)
A spatially-explicit, stochastic model is developed for Bahia bark scaling, a threat to citrus production in north-eastern Brazil, and is used to assess epidemiological principles underlying the cost-effectiveness of disease ...
• Cost-effectiveness analysis of different systolic blood pressure targets for people with a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack: Economic analysis of the PAST-BP study ﻿

(SAGE Publications, 2016-05-25)
Background: The PAST-BP trial found that using a lower systolic blood pressure target (<130 mmHg or lower versus <140 mmHg) in a primary care population with prevalent cerebrovascular disease was associated with a small ...
• The cost-effectiveness of maintenance schedules following pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: an economic evaluation alongside a randomised controlled trial ﻿

(Springer, 2015-09-07)
Background. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects approximately 3 million people in the UK. An eight week pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) course is recommended under current guidelines. However studies show ...
• Cost-effectiveness of multidisciplinary management of Tinnitus at a specialized Tinnitus centre ﻿

(2009-02-11)
Abstract Background Tinnitus is a common chronic health condition that affects 10% to 20% of the general population. Among severe sufferers it causes disability in various areas. As a result of the tinnitus, quality of ...
• Cost-effectiveness of primary offer of IVF vs. primary offer of IUI followed by IVF (for IUI failures) in couples with unexplained or mild male factor subfertility ﻿

(2006-06-23)
Abstract Background In unexplained and mild male factor subfertility, both intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) are indicated as first line treatments. Because the success rate of IUI is low, ...
• Cost-effectiveness of self-management of blood pressure in hypertensive patients over 70 years with sub-optimal control and established cardiovascular disease or additional CV risk diseases (TASMIN-SR) ﻿

(SAGE, 2015-11-24)
Background: A previous economic analysis of self-management, that is, self-monitoring with self-titration of antihypertensive mediation evaluated cost-effectiveness among patients with uncomplicated hypertension. This study ...
• Cost-sharing in Directed Networks: Experimental Study of Equilibrium Choice and System Dynamics ﻿

(Elsevier, 2015-07-26)
This study reports the results of an experiment on directed networks with positive externalities induced by cost-sharing. Subjects participated in a network game in which they had to choose between private and public ...
• Costs and Benefits: Economic Perspective of High Quality Youth ﻿

(Association of Cambridge Studies, 2012)
• Costs of mating competition limit male lifetime breeding success in polygynous mammals ﻿

(Royal Society Publishing, 2014-05-14)
Although differences in breeding lifespan are an important source of variation in male fitness, the factors affecting the breeding tenure of males have seldom been explored. Here, we use cross-species comparisons to ...

• Could the Icelandic banking collapse of 2008 have been prevented? The role of economists in its unfurling ﻿

(Edward Elgar Publishing, 2016)
In 2008, the three main banks in Iceland collapsed. There is strong evidence that the banks would have become insolvent even without the subprime crisis. Yet, there was a marked difference in opinion at the time about the ...
• A Counter Example to Cercignani’s Conjecture for the d Dimensional Kac Model ﻿

(Springer, 2012-08-21)
Kac’s d dimensional model gives a linear, many particle, binary collision model from which, under suitable conditions, the celebrated Boltzmann equation, in its spatially homogeneous form, arise as a mean field limit. The ...
• Counteractive effects of antenatal glucocorticoid treatment on D1 receptor modulation of spatial working memory ﻿

(Springer, 2016-08-23)
