Outcomes and cost-effectiveness of different models of delivery of antiretroviral therapy by Leisegang, Rory

“…These cohorts had important strengths in their data: adherence measures (private, PPP); initiating ART at CD4 counts > 200 cells/µL (private); detailed cost data (private); long duration of follow-up with a larger proportion on second-line ART (private); ability to assess health care utilization pre-ART and in patient loss to ART follow-up (private); and availability of national identity numbers, allowing us to confirm mortality from national death register data (private, PPP). …”

Thermodynamic design optimisation of an open recuperative twin-shaft solar thermal Brayton cycle with combined or exclusive reheating and intercooling by Meas, Matthew Robert

“…The optimised heat exchanger lengths are shown to lie on their maximum constraints, and the channel cross-sections found to decrease in size with increasing mass flow rate such that the heat transfer area is maximised and the heat transfer effectiveness improved. As such, plate counts in the optimised heat exchangers are found to be relatively high, and investigation of various compact heat exchanger designs, and regenerative- as opposed to recuperative heat exchangers, is recommended for future work on this topic. …”
