Evaluation of airline cost structures and cost savings at low-cost carrier WOW air.
… was carried out to identify whether the low-cost airline WOW air is operating their aircraft at the optimum cost index or not. The purpose was to calculate the indexes specifically for WOW air’s operation and estimate possible savings. Therefore the cost indexes for the aircraft fleet were …

The True Cost
<p><em>The True Cost </em>is a short novel set in a pre-dystopian society. The novel centers around three siblings: Lyle, Bridget, and Paul, along with their friend Reid. The group is living in the middle of an eighty-four-year war that has destroyed their society. Shortly before his murder, Jerry …

Concurrent cost estimating
A methodology for concurrent cost estimating is proposed, developed, and demonstrated. The approach is novel in that the traditional means of process planning is exploited without being time-consuming and iterative, as is typical. Design abstractions are used to characterize the component …

Potential cost savings and cost avoidances associated with security cooperation training programs
… Code § 2282. Specifically, I analyze whether the cost of such training programs is cheaper using contracted personnel versus uniformed military personnel. The costs of contractor-provided training come from the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. Using the Department of Defense’s Financial …

The Cost of Earmarks
… of federal-aid, earmarking is said to add costs to the agency awarded the funding, and earmarking has been linked to Congressional scandals and wasteful spending. In this paper I explore how an earmark, designated to local governments to fund long-term infrastructure projects, contributes …

A low cost tellurometer
This thesis describes the development of a low-cost microwave electronic distance measurement instrument using the Tellurometer phase-measurement principle. In a simplified form the instrument can be configured as a full-duplex 9 600 Baud datalink. The Tellurometer was invented in 1957 by the late …

Major Trauma Outcomes: At What Cost? And for Whom? A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
… was threefold: (a) to identify the financial costs for acute trauma care, including costs for those who die early in treatment, and who pays those costs; (b) to identify the relationship between costs and severity of injury; and (c) to identify survivor functional and psychosocial costs, or …

Compilation of a materials cost database for a web-based composites cost estimator
… to be an expensive process. The WEB-Based Cost Estimation Model enables one to approximate the cost of manufacturing composites, so as to assist the user in making sound economic decisions. An extensive, up-to-date materials database is an essential part of such a cost estimator. This paper …

A function-based cost model for early cost advice on new-build schools projects
… revealed a lack of accuracy of current cost estimation methods as a consequence of limited design information available at the conceptual stage. The focus of the investigation was newbuild school projects and, though much published design guidance on schools is available, there is little …
