We constructed planar thin film YBaCuOAgYBaCuO junctions. The junctions behave in most respects as SNS junctions. In addition, a novel effect in the I–V characteristics was observed in response to microwave radiation. We interpret this effect, which was not observed with low-Tc...

Accurate resource-use measurement is challenging within an economic evaluation, but is a fundamental requirement for estimating efficiency. Considerable research effort has been concentrated on the appropriate measurement of outcomes and the policy implications of economic evaluation, while...
