Analysis of EQ-5D Profiles [PDF]
, 2020 AbstractProfile data form the cornerstone of analyses of EQ-5D data and, in many cases, are likely to be the primary focus of interest. In this chapter, we provide an overview of methods that can be used to describe the profile data from respondents at a given point in time, and to describe the changes in profiles between different points in time.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Japanese Population Norms for Preference-Based Measures: Eq-5d-3l, Eq-5d-5l, And Sf-6d [PDF]
Value in Health, 2015 The purpose of this study was to measure the population norms for the Japanese versions of preference-based measures (EQ-5D-3L, EQ-5D-5L, and SF-6D). We also considered the relations between QOL score in the general population and socio-demographic factors.A total of 1143 adult respondents (aged ≥ 20 years) were randomly sampled from across Japan using

Influence of an Argon/Silane Atmosphere on the Temperature of a Thermal Plasma
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The influence of a silane‐doped argon atmosphere on the chemical composition and temperature of a thermal nontransferring argon plasma is investigated using optical emission spectroscopy. As a result of the high amount of free electrons resulting from the stepwise ionization and dissociation of the silane molecule, even a silane addition of 0.01 vol ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Four‐point bending tests are conducted in an argon atmosphere on commercial MgO‐C brick grades with and without MgO‐C recyclate from room temperature up to 1300 °C. No detrimental effect of the MgO‐C recyclates on bending strength is found. Instead, a decisive influence of the total carbon content is observed, with lower total carbon contents ...

Response‐Scale Heterogeneity in the EQ‐5D
Health Economics, 2016 AbstractThis paper discusses two types of response‐scale heterogeneity, which may impact upon the EQ‐5D. Response‐scale heterogeneity in reporting occurs when individuals systematically differ in their use of response scales when responding to self‐assessments.
