description: Anomalous microwave emission is known to exist in the Perseus cloud. One of the most promising candidates to explain this excess of emission is electric dipole radiation from rapidly rotating very small dust grains, commonly referred to as spinning dust. Photometric data obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope have been reprocessed and used in conjunction with the dust emission model DUSTEM to characterise the properties of the dust within the cloud. This analysis has allowed us to constrain spatial variations in the strength of the interstellar radiation field ($χ_\mathrm{ISRF}$), the mass abundances of the PAHs and VSGs relative to the BGs (Y$_\mathrm{PAH}$ and Y$_\mathrm{VSG}$), the column density of hydrogen (N$_\mathrm{H}$) and the equilibrium dust temperature (T$_\mathrm{dust}$). The parameter maps of Y$_\mathrm{PAH}$, Y$_\mathrm{VSG}$ and $χ_\mathrm{ISRF}$ are the first of their kind to be produced for the Perseus cloud, and we used these maps to investigate the physical conditions in which anomalous emission is observed. We find that in regions of anomalous emission the strength of the ISRF, and consequently the equilibrium temperature of the dust, is enhanced while there is no significant variation in the abundances of the PAHs and the VSGs or the column density of hydrogen. We interpret these results as an indication that the enhancement in $χ_\mathrm{ISRF}$ might be affecting the properties of the small stochastically heated dust grains resulting in an increase in the spinning dust emission observed at 33 GHz. This is the first time that such an investigation has been performed, and we believe that this type of analysis creates a new perspective in the field of anomalous emission studies, and represents a powerful new tool for constraining spinning dust models.

description: Current river water quality monitoring programs typically fail to consider surface and groundwater interaction when studying non point source(s) (NPS) effects. This study investigates water quality degradation in the Elbow River in the context of surface and groundwater interaction. Although the groundwater flow directions in the adjacent alluvial aquifer can vary seasonally by more then 40", they are predominantly sub-parallel to the Elbow River. Septic effluent from Bragg Creek Hamlet is thought to migrate in the groundwater as far as 5 to 12 km before discharging to the river. An estimated chloride mass flux of 53 kg day-1 in the alluvial aquifer just downgradient of Bragg Creek is based on piezometer testing and groundwater sampling. This is about 10% of the chloride mass flux increase observed in the river within the study area. This suggests another, more substantial, source of chloride mass loading to the river. Geologic sources, cattle grazing on the alluvial aquifer, road salting, golf course fertilizer use, and wildlife are potential candidates.

description: Some chemical reactions are described by electron transfer (ET) processes. The underlying mechanism could be modeled as a polaron motion in the molecular crystal-the Holstein model. By taking spin degrees of freedom into consideration, we generalize the Holstein model (molecular crystal model) to microscopically describe an ET chemical reaction. In our model, the electron spins in the radical pair simultaneously interact with a magnetic field and their nuclear-spin environments. By virtue of the perturbation approach, we obtain the chemical reaction rates for different initial states. It is discovered that the chemical reaction rate of the triplet state demonstrates its dependence on the direction of the magnetic field while the counterpart of the singlet state does not. This difference is attributed to the explicit dependence of the triplet state on the direction when the axis is rotated. Our model may provide a possible candidate for the microscopic origin of avian compass.

description: The historical legacy and office of those commissioned as the sovereign's peacekeepers and judicial officers extend back into the 'darkest ages' of English legal history. Although their functions, powers and designations have evolved over 12 centuries, their essential roles have persisted under a multiplicity of titles. They include the early ealdormen, reeves and shire-reeves, sheriffs, custodians, keepers of the peace, justices of the peace, stipendiary magistrates, magistrates and judges. It was during the 'Age of Discovery' that explorers brought the office of the justice of the peace to the New World. Similar to his English counterpart, the British North American (BNA) justice was a governor in his district, and was the 'eyes, ears, hands and mouth' of the central government at the local level. The whole machinery of government functioned through him. Around Hudson's Bay, chief factors and post governors were also magistrates who facilitated the accretion of English laws into Rupert's Land and the Indian Territories. In 1874, the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) marched west into the territories of Saskatchewan and Alberta. Under the command and auspices of the first lawyer magistrate, Assistant Commissioner James F. Macleod, commissioned officers inaugurated the first system of law enforcement and judicature in the North West Territories (NWT). By virtue of their commission and statutory enactment, officers were justices of the peace (JP) and the commissioner a stipendiary magistrate (SM). As the first 'professional magistrates' in the Territories, and during the formative period of frontier justice 187 4-98, they exercised their judicial discretion when they heard and determined misdemeanours, summary conviction, felony accusations and indictments in the NWMP courts of first instance. In that capacity their pervasive judicial activities dominated the NWT's judicial records, and consequently they were the precursors of, and laid the foundation for, the modem 'bench and bar.' While historians have belied both the NWT 'peaceable kingdom' and 'violent frontier' hypothesis, a quantitative and qualitative examination of the NWMP judicial reports provides substantive documentary evidence of what Professor R.C. Macleod concluded was 'the most important non-police activities of the force,' their judicial conduct. What is more, police magistrate activities extended well into the twentieth century, and in October 1998 the last of 'police' magistrates and provincial court judges appointed from the ranks of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police retired from the Provincial Court Bench of Alberta. His honour Kenneth James Plomp ended the epic legacy of the 'police magistrate.'

description: Oral cancer causes a significant disease burden and financial distress, especially among disadvantaged groups. While Malaysia has achieved universal health coverage via its highly subsidized public healthcare, household expenditure for treatment of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and oral cancer remains a concern in the equitability of care. This study aims to estimate the extent of catastrophic healthcare expenditure (CHE) while identifying its cost drivers. This three-part study consists of a prospective cross-sectional survey to collect health utilization data of patients, a retrospective medical record abstraction to identify resources consumed, and cost estimation modeling in two tertiary public hospitals. Out-of-pocket (OOP) payments for transport, care in public healthcare facilities, and other healthcare expenditures were tallied. CHE was defined as OOP spendings of more than 10% from total annual household income. Multivariate binary logistic regression was further applied to identify the association between sociodemographic factors and CHE. A total of 104 patients were surveyed and their medical records abstracted. A Kruskal-Wallis test showed a statistically significant difference in OOP share over household income between OPMD, early- and late-stage oral cancer, χ2(2)=51.05, p<0.001, with the mean percentage of 9%, 22%, and 65% respectively. This study found that the prevalence of CHE in the first year of diagnosis was staggering at 86.5% for oral cancer and 19.2% for OPMD. Race (Indian) (OR=7.4, p=0.035) and active employment (OR=0.07, p=0.035) were shown as significant predictors for CHE. Our study demonstrated the provision of current subsidies may not be adequate to shield the more vulnerable group from CHE.

Magnetic helicity transported by flux emergence and shuffling motions in Solar Active Region NOAA 10930

description: We present a new methodology which can determine magnetic helicity transport by the passage of helical magnetic field lines from sub-photosphere and the shuffling motions of foot-points of preexisting coronal field lines separately. It is well known that only the velocity component which is perpendicular to the magnetic field ($\upsilon_{\perp B}$) has contribution to the helicity accumulation. Here, we demonstrate that $\upsilon_{\perp B}$ can be deduced from horizontal motion and vector magnetograms, under a simple relation of $\upsilon_t = μ_t + \frac{\upsilon_n}{B_n} B_t$ as suggested by D$\acute{e}$moulin & Berger (2003). Then after dividing $\upsilon_{\perp B}$ into two components, as one is tangential and the other is normal to the solar surface, we can determine both terms of helicity transport. Active region (AR) NOAA 10930 is analyzed as an example during its solar disk center passage by using data obtained by the Spectro-Polarimeter and the Narrowband Filter Imager of Solar Optical Telescope on board Hinode. We find that in our calculation, the helicity injection by flux emergence and shuffling motions have the same sign. During the period we studied, the main contribution of helicity accumulation comes from the flux emergence effect, while the dynamic transient evolution comes from the shuffling motions effect. Our observational results further indicate that for this AR, the apparent rotational motion in the following sunspot is the real shuffling motions on solar surface.
Symmetry and degeneracy of the curved Coulomb potential on the S3 ball

description: The "curved" Coulomb potential on the S3 ball, whose isometry group is SO(4), takes the form of a cotangent function, and when added to the four-dimensional squared angular momentum operator, one of the so(4) Casimir invariants, a Hamiltonian is obtained which describes a perturbance of the free geodesic motion that results peculiar in several aspects. The spectrum of such a motion has been studied on various occasions and is known to carry unexpectedly so(4) degeneracy patterns despite the non-commutativity of the perturbance with the Casimir operator. We here suggest an explanation for this behavior in designing a set of operators which close the so(4) algebra and whose Casimir invariant coincides with the Hamiltonian of the perturbed motion at the level of the eigenvalue problem. The above operators are related to the canonical geometric SO(4) generators on S3 by a non-unitary similarity transformation of the scaling type. In this fashion, we identify a complementary option to the deformed dynamical so(4) Higgs algebra constructed in terms of the components of the ordinary angular momentum and a related Runge-Lenz vector.

description: By using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrated that thermal conductivity of Germanium nanowires can be reduced more than 25% at room temperature by atomistic coating. There is a critical coating thickness beyond which thermal conductivity of the coated nanowire is larger than that of the host nanowire. The diameter dependent critical coating thickness and minimum thermal conductivity are explored. Moreover, we found that interface roughness can induce further reduction of thermal conductivity in coated nanowires. From the vibrational eigen-mode analysis, it is found that coating induces localization for low frequency phonons, while interface roughness localizes the high frequency phonons. Our results provide an available approach to tune thermal conductivity of nanowires by atomic layer coating.

description: Coastal foredunes host a distinct vegetation, one of the most greatly modified by human activity of any of Australia's ecosystems. This is particularly the case along the densely populated east coast, where very few relatively pristine dune sites remain. Benchmarks from which we can learn about the relationships between the biota and their surrounding environment are vital to successful restoration and management. Dunes are naturally dynamic, and the plants that occur there are tolerant of these conditions, but the range of disturbances we have added further challenges their resilience, especially when the postulated changes in climate, including extreme natural events, are considered. In order to provide advice for conservation and restoration, a base-line typology is required. In this paper, the results of a survey of coastal foredune vegetation along the eastern coast of Australia is reported. At sites located at approximately 300 km intervals between Ninety Mile Beach in Victoria and the Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland, transects were laid out perpendicular to the beach, landward from high water mark. Information on topography and the physical and floristic characteristics of the vegetation at each location was collated into a physical and floristic profile of the dunes. The floristic data from each location were combined with those from the literature and classified using PATN. In addition, the degree of risk to the naturalness of each site was assessed at three spatial scales. Four major types of dune vegetation were identified along the coast and these are related to the climatic and physical nature of the sites. The links between site quality and species occurrence along the gradient gives us a good indication of the nature of sites in which these species will thrive, and the physical environment that has to be provided for their long-term survival.

description: In this letter, we demonstrate the first BN/Graphene/BN field effect transistor for RF applications. The BN/Graphene/BN structure can preserve the high mobility of graphene, even when it is sandwiched between a substrate and a gate dielectric. Field effect transistors (FETs) using a bilayer graphene channel have been fabricated with a gate length LG=450 nm. A current density in excess of 1 A/mm and DC transconductance close to 250 mS/mm are achieved for both electron and hole conductions. RF characterization is performed for the first time on this device structure, giving a current-gain cut-off frequency fT=33 GHz and an fT.LG product of 15 GHz.um. The improved performance obtained by the BN/Graphene/BN structure is very promising to enable the next generation of high frequency graphene RF electronics.

description: This article discusses how to demonstrate the entanglement of the split Cooper pairs produced in a double-quantum-dot based Cooper pair beam splitter (CPS), by performing the microwave spectroscopy of the CPS. More precisely, one can study the DC current response of such a CPS to two on-phase microwave gate irradiations applied to the two CPS dots. Some of the current peaks caused by the microwaves show a strongly nonmonotonic variation with the amplitude of the irradiation applied individually to one dot. This effect is directly due to a subradiance property caused by the coherence of the split pairs. Using realistic parameters, one finds that this effect has a measurable amplitude.

description: Quantum and classical systems evolving under the same formal Hamiltonian $H$ may exhibit dramatically different behavior after the Ehrenfest timescale $t_E \sim \log(\hbar^{-1})$, even as $\hbar \to 0$. Coupling the system to a Markovian environment results in a Lindblad equation for the quantum evolution. Its classical counterpart is given by the Fokker-Planck equation on phase space, which describes Hamiltonian flow with friction and diffusive noise. The quantum and classical evolutions may be compared via the Wigner-Weyl representation. Due to decoherence, they are conjectured to match closely for times far beyond the Ehrenfest timescale as $\hbar \to 0$. We prove a version of this correspondence, bounding the error between the quantum and classical evolutions for any sufficiently regular Hamiltonian $H(x,p)$ and Lindblad functions $L_k(x,p)$. The error is small when the strength of the diffusion $D$ associated to the Lindblad functions satisfies $D \gg \hbar^{4/3}$, in particular allowing vanishing noise in the classical limit. We use a time-dependent semiclassical mixture of variably squeezed Gaussian states evolving by a local harmonic approximation to the Lindblad dynamics. Both the exact quantum trajectory and its classical counterpart can be expressed as perturbations of this semiclassical mixture, with the errors bounded using Duhamel's principle. We present heuristic arguments suggesting the $4/3$ exponent is optimal and defines a boundary in the sense that asymptotically weaker diffusion permits a breakdown of quantum-classical correspondence at the Ehrenfest timescale. Our presentation aims to be comprehensive and accessible to both mathematicians and physicists. In a shorter companion paper, we treat the special case of Hamiltonians of the form $H=p^2/(2m) + V(x)$ and linear Lindblad operators, with explicit bounds that can be applied directly to physical systems.

description: The use of new communication technologies by political elites has throughout history shaped their ultimate effects on existing systems of political communication. The Internet's vast potential to increase citizen engagement in Canada's policy-making process leads to the question of how Canada's political elites, our elected Members of Parliament, are choosing to make use of this technology. Data collected directly from the MPs of Canada's 3 ih Parliament suggests Internet usage among federal parliamentarians is high, with online communication choices shaped by a structure of incentives and disincentives affecting the MPs individual choice about Internet use. The result is that Canada's MPs are using the Internet in a relatively similar fashion regardless of demographic and partisan differences - our federal parliamentarians are adopting and adapting online communication tools that facilitate their traditional roles, while ignoring complex communication tools that might increase citizen engagement and thus increase the MP's individual political risk

description: Introduction There is an uncertainty if lower dose (LD) Alteplase produces similar clinical benefit and safety for stroke thrombolysis compared to standard dose (SD). Thus, efficacy and safety outcomes in patients receiving LD (0.6mg/kg) and SD (0.9mg/kg) of Alteplase for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) were compared. Methodology AIS patients treated with LD or SD Alteplase from January 2014 until December 2020 were retrospectively analysed. Data were retrieved using Hospital Information System (HIS). National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at baseline and post 24-hour, modified Ranking Scale (mRS) score post 90-day onset and occurrence of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) post Alteplase initiation were recorded. Results Of 107, 73.8% (n=79) patients received SD. Comparing between groups, mean baseline NIHSS score was not significantly different (LD; 11.25±5.77 vs. SD; 13.96±6.61, p= 0.057). Mean NIHSS score after 24 hours was reduced from baseline, but did not differ significantly (2.04±6.04 vs. 4.84±7.48, respectively, p= 0.078). Mean mRS score had no significant difference (3.07±1.98 vs 2.71±1.81, respectively, p= 0.375). The occurrence of sICH was lower in LD group (7.1% vs. 11%, p= 0.719). Multiple logistic regression demonstrated male and diabetic patients were 3-fold (p= 0.029) and 5-fold risk (p= 0.008), respectively to get poor functional outcome (mRS score 2-6). Increment of baseline NIHSS score by 1 increased the risk of poor functional outcome by 11% (p= 0.012). Conclusion LD and SD Alteplase have comparable efficacy and safety outcome in treating AIS patients. Functional outcomes were related to gender, diabetes mellitus and baseline NIHSS score.

description: Bibliography: p. 82-87
description: The cakra system is a very elaborate internal mandala that is transposed onto the physical body of a practitioner. The components of the cakra system form an elaborate paradigm within the body that correspond to and reflect different realities of the external environment. In the esoteric tradition one of the means by which a practitioner comes to identify oneself with a higher level of reality and achieve a non-dual state of consciousness is by visualizing and experiencing the internal cakra system. In this thesis the role of the cakra system as found in the Hevajratantra will be examined because without an internal experience of the cakra system it becomes difficult to understand the significance of the external ritual practice. In short this thesis will demonstrate how the cakra system is foundational for an inner spiritual experience and the development of a practitioner's spiritual growth.

description: Background: In Australia, men who have sex with men (MSM) are deferred from blood donation for 3 months from last sexual contact. Internationally, deferral policies for MSM are evolving in the direction of expanded inclusivity in response to community expectations. To inform future policy options, we assessed perceptions of the risk of HIV transmission from blood transfusion among Australian MSM. Study Design and Methods: Flux is an online prospective cohort of Australian gay and bisexual men (cis or trans, regardless of their sexual history) and other men who have had sex with men (gbMSM). We included questions on blood donation rules, window period (WP) duration, infectivity of blood from people with HIV on treatment and attitudes to more detailed questioning of sexual practices in the regular survey of Flux participants and conducted a descriptive analysis of responses. Results: Of 716 Flux participants in 2019, 703 responded to the blood donation questions. The mean age was 43.7 years (SD 13.6 years). Overall, 74% were willing to confidentially respond to specific sexual behavior questions, such as the last time they had sex and the type of sex they had, in order to be considered eligible to donate blood. The majority (92%) of participants correctly assessed the duration of the WP as less than 1 month. When asked whether transfusion of blood from a donor with HIV and an undetectable viral load could transmit HIV, just under half (48%) correctly said yes. Conclusion: Our study suggests Australian gbMSM are generally comfortable with answering more detailed questions regarding sexual activity during the assessment to donate, indicating they would do so honestly. gbMSM are knowledgeable about the WP duration, important for their ability to correctly self-assess their HIV risk. However, half of participants incorrectly assessed the transmissibility by blood transfusion from an HIV positive person with an undetectable viral load, suggesting the need for a targeted education campaign.

description: A data warehouse's many different components make setting one up a non-trivial and expensive task (R.K. 98). This thesis describes a new light-weight data warehouse implementation methodology that minimizes cost and production time while ensuring the core requirements of a typical data warehouse system are included. The methodology enables fast initial development with scalable architecture for future growth. From a maintenance perspective, the methodology minimizes the ongoing data refresh cost. This is important because data refresh cost is the major maintenance cost in a typical data warehouse system. The data quality is also improved by using the methodology. The above advantages are due to the small team structure, single database architecture, metadata approach, data modeling approach, Extract Transformation and Loading (ETL) approach, tools selection and web portal presented in the methodology.

description: We revive intriguing, yet still unexplained, experimental results of Ehrlich and co-workers [ Phys. Rev. Lett. 77 1334 (1996); Phys. Rev. Lett. 67 2509 (1991)] who have observed, that 5d adatoms distributed on (111) surface islands of 5d metals favor the adsorption at the cluster's edge rather than at the cluster's interior, which lies in contrast with the behavior of 4d and 3d elements. Our state of the art ab initio calculations demonstrate that such behavior is a direct consequence of the relativity of 5d metals.

description: Mechanical stimuli can be a vital determinant of bone morphology. How bones perceive and respond to those stimuli remains equivocal, but intracortical bone fluid flow has been suggested to influence bone cell activities. The current studies were designed to determine indirectly relations between intracortical fluid flow and adaptive osteogenesis. A cantilever loading device was constructed to apply non-invasive loads to skeletally mature female C57BL/6 tibiae 5 d·wk-1 for 4 wk. Double calcein injections were administered to permit histomorphometrical indices of adaptation. Loading was conducted while under halothane anaesthesia. Halothane was found to be a good anaesthetic agent for chronic adaptation studies as it did not confound histomorphometrical indices of osteogenesis. Periosteal osteogenesis exhibited a dose­response relation with loading rate. Those adaptations were histomorphometrically and biomechanically relevant. When loading cycles were separated by brief rest periods (< 1 s), osteogenesis was significantly enhanced. Similarly, longer rest periods (10 s) were effectively used in combination with short bouts of high-frequency loading regimes. The current studies also showed substantial periosteal responses and slight endosteal responses. Periosteal osteogenesis was significantly negatively correlated with endosteal osteogenesis; the spatial distribution of osteogenesis showed that medial-lateral tibial cantilever bending accelerated an age-related modeling drift. Spatially, endosteal osteogenesis was significantly correlated with circumferential strain gradients in only two of the loading groups. Thus, no single mechanical parameter could explain adaptive osteogenesis in all of the loading groups supporting the complexity of bone adaptation. The data from the current studies emphasized the sensitivity of the adult skeleton to specific physical parameters. Those parameters the skeleton was most sensitive to related to enhanced intracortical fluid flow velocities and volumes. Optimization of osteogenesis in response to mechanical loading may underpin the development of nonpharmacological regiments designed to increase bone mass.

description: We construct a class of nilpotent operators using the BRST current and ghost fields in superstring theory. The operator can be realized in cubic superstring field theory as a kinetic operator in the background of an identity-based solution. For a particular type of the deformed BRST operators, we find a homotopy operator and discuss its relationship to the cohomology in a similar way to the bosonic case, which has been elaborated by the authors.

description: We present a model that attempts to fuse the inflationary era and the subsequent radiation dominated era under a unified framework so as to provide a smooth transition between the two. The model is based on a modification of the generalized Chaplygin gas. We constrain the model observationally by mapping the primordial power spectrum of the scalar perturbations to the latest data of WMAP7. We compute as well the spectrum of the primordial gravitational waves as would be measured today.

description: Achieving high temperature ferromagnetism by doping transition metals thin films is seen as a viable approach to integrate spin-based elements in innovative spintronic devices. In this work we investigated the effect of Fe doping on structural properties of ZrO2 grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using Zr(TMHD)4 for Zr and Fe(TMHD)3 for Fe precursors and ozone as oxygen source. The temperature during the growth process was fixed at 350°C. The ALD process was tuned to obtain Fe doped ZrO2 films with uniform chemical composition, as seen by time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. The control of Fe content was effectively reached, by controlling the ALD precursor pulse ratio, as checked by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and spectroscopic ellipsometry. From XPS, Fe was found in Fe3+ chemical state, which maximizes the magnetization per atom. We also found, by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, that the inclusion of Fe impurities in ZrO2 induces amorphization in thin ZrO2 films, while stabilizes the high temperature crystalline tetragonal/cubic phase after rapid thermal annealing at 600°C.

description: We report in this paper the design, the optimization and the fabrication of an electret-based cantilever energy harvester. We develop the mechanical and the electrostatic equations of such a device and its implementation using Finite Elements (FEM) and Matlab in order to get an accurate model. This model is then used in an optimization process. A macroscopic prototype (3.2cm^{2}) was built with a silicon cantilever and a Teflon\textregistered electret. Thanks to this prototype, we manage to harvest 17\muW with ambient-type vibrations of 0.2g on a load of 210MΩ. The experimental results are consistent with simulation results.

description: CONTEXT: Telehealth-delivered nutrition interventions are effective in practice; however, limited evidence exists regarding their cost-effectiveness. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of telehealth-delivered nutrition interventions for improving health outcomes in adults with chronic disease. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, CENTRAL, CINAHL, and Embase databases were systematically searched from database inception to November 2021. Included studies were randomized controlled trials delivering a telehealth-delivered diet intervention conducted with adults with a chronic disease and that reported on cost-effectiveness or cost-utility analysis outcomes. DATA EXTRACTION: All studies were independently screened and extracted, and quality was appraised using the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS) checklist. DATA ANALYSIS: All extracted data were grouped into subcategories according to their telehealth modality and payer perspective, and were analyzed narratively. RESULTS: Twelve randomized controlled trials comprising 5 phone-only interventions, 3 mobile health (mHealth), 2 online, and 1 each using a combination of phone-online or phone-mHealth interventions, were included in this review. mHealth interventions were the most cost-effective intervention in all studies. Across all telehealth interventions and cost analyses from health service perspectives, 60% of studies were cost-effective. From a societal perspective, however, 33% of studies reported that the interventions were cost-effective. Of the 10 studies using cost-utility analyses, 3 were cost saving and more effective, making the intervention dominant, 1 study reported no difference in costs or effectiveness, and the remaining 6 studies reported increased cost and effectiveness, meaning payers must decide whether this falls within an acceptable willingness-to-pay threshold for them. Quality of study reporting varied with between 63% to 92%, with an average of 77% of CHEERS items reported. CONCLUSION: Telehealth-delivered nutrition interventions in chronic disease populations appear to be cost-effective from a health perspective, and particularly mHealth modalities. These findings support telehealth-delivered nutrition care as a clinically beneficial, cost-effective intervention delivery modality.
