We compared the existing regulation on management of radioactive and non-radioactive wastes with the ideal legislation procedures for protection of environment. The comparison revealed the necessity of risk-based regulation, consideration for ethics and cost-effectiveness of the regulation, and optimal usage of regulation resources. In order to assess the cost-effectiveness of several different waste disposal options, the concept of disposal cost per unit radiotoxicity (mSv or m3) in waste (CPR hereafter) was introduced and calculated. The results revealed that current disposal option of high level radioactive waste (underground burial) was more cost-effective than that of TENORM and asbestos containing waste.

The Ideal

The ideal advertisement is one that has the best possible reach within a well-organized range of customers (selectivity) with proper possibilities of feedback and low cost. Conversely, mass communication often forces the marketer to accept high reach with relatively low selectivity and no feedback opportunities while achieving reasonable cost-effectiveness (Steptrup, 1991; Thomsen, 1996). The marketer’s challenge is to decide which medium, or combination of media, can best achieve the advertising goal for the company. This chapter provides an integrated definition of Internet advertising, describing its features and advantages. Additional discussion involves the emergence of Internet advertising, statistics of incomes, and costs. Finally, the chapter explains how marketers should select the right website for their advertising placement.

It is not the outpatient setting, per se, that is presenting new challenges and opportunities to ethics consultants and ethics committees. Rather, it is the underlying reason for shifting more and more patient care from the inpatient to the outpatient setting-namely, calculations of cost-effectiveness.

AbstractIntroduction:Flexible nasoendoscope is an important tool in otorhinolaryngology practice. The endoscope needs to be decontaminated prior to use in the next patient. The 2005 ENT-UK guidance for cleaning fibre-optic laryngoscopes stated that the ideal disinfecting agent and process should be effective and have low capital and maintenance costs.Objective:To compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of chlorine dioxide wipes versus automated washer, for decontamination of flexible nasendoscopes.Methods:A sequential cohort,in vitrostudy was performed to test the efficacy of chlorine dioxide wipes and automated washer. Costs were also calculated.Results:After deliberate bacterial contamination of the nasendoscope and subsequent decontamination, swab samples from the endoscope showedStaphylococcus epidermidisgrowth in 2 per cent (1/50 swabs) of the chlorine dioxide wipe group and in 28 per cent (14/50 swabs) of the automated washer group (p = 0.00). Based on a projected 10-year cost calculation, the automated washer was cheaper.Conclusion:Further studies are required to test whether these results are replicable. A similar study should be performed using real patients, to check the significance of improper decontamination.

The Ideal

The technique of labeling of macromolecules with ferritin conjugated antibody has been successfully used for extracellular antigen by means of staining the specimen with conjugate prior to fixation and embedding. However, the ideal method to determine the location of intracellular antigen would be to do the antigen-antibody reaction in thin sections. This technique contains inherent problems such as the destruction of antigenic determinants during fixation or embedding and the non-specific attachment of conjugate to the embedding media. Certain embedding media such as polyampholytes (2) or cross-linked bovine serum albumin (3) have been introduced to overcome some of these problems.

The Ideal

The reconstruction of a three-dimensional image of a specimen from a set of electron micrographs reduces, under certain assumptions about the imaging process in the microscope, to the mathematical problem of reconstructing a density distribution from a set of its plane projections.In the absence of noise we can formulate a purely geometrical criterion, which, for a general object, fixes the resolution attainable from a given finite number of views in terms of the size of the object. For simplicity we take the ideal case of projections collected by a series of m equally spaced tilts about a single axis.
