Slot car racing - Slot car racing is the hobby of racing electrically-powered model cars that are built to run on tracks with a groove or slot to guide the car. Users can run and race the cars with a hand-held controller or throttle that regulates a small, electric motor hidden within the car; greater pressure on the throttle produces a greater speed.
Economy car - An economy car is an automobile that is designed for low-cost operation. The economy car is for the people to drive it from point A to point B without using too much gas.
Cost-utility analysis - Cost-utility analysis is a form of economic analysis used to guide procurement decisions, especially health technology assessment (HTA). The cost is measured in monetary units, such as British pounds or US dollars and the benefit of the item being considered needs to be expressed in a quantitative form.
Citizen and consumer movements in Japan - Japanese Citizen and consumer movements, which became prominent during the 1960s and 1970s, were organized around issues relating to the quality of life, the protection of the environment from industrial pollution, and the safety (although not the cost) of consumer goods. In the late 1960s, industrial pollution, symbolized by the suffering of victims of mercury poisoning (Minamata disease) caused by the pollution of Minamata Bay in Kumamoto Prefecture by a chemical company, was viewed as a national crisis.
