Benefit-cost assessment of aviation environmental policies
… a framework in which to conduct global benefit-cost assessments of aviation policies. Current policy analysis tools, such as the aviation environmental portfolio management tool (APMT), only consider climate and air quality impacts derived from aircraft emissions within the US. In addition, only …

Parametric Analysis and Life Cycle Cost Assessment for Optimizing PCM Application in Exterior Walls in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
… study, we developed LCCA models to assess the cost-effectiveness of PCM by establishing a price range per square foot that aligns with the energy savings that are usable in the KSA. This study also identified the maximum PCM production cost based on the LCCA analysis to ensure its investment …

Monitoring and control of electrothermal swing adsorption based on electrical properties of the adsorbent
… Capturing and recovering vapors/gases can reduce cost by providing feedstock for production and eliminate emissions from thermal oxidation. A bench-scale electrothermal swing adsorption (ESA) system that uses activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) to selectively remove vapors/gases from gas streams …

An Evaluation of the risks to food safety and shellfish farming in Great Britain,posed by marine biotoxins from, current and future emerging, marine microalgal species
… routine monitoring data with little additional cost. Assessment of harmful microalgal taxa considered as non-native species (NNS) to GB suggested that several species could pose a risk of future successful invasion of GB coastal waters, within the next 30 years. This was principally based on the …

Cost of Electricity Interruption to Commercial and Industrial End-Users
The question ‘what is the cost of electricity interruptions?’ is fraught with lots of complexities as electricity interruption is not a tradable commodity. A closely associated question is ‘from whose perspective should this cost be assessed – the electric utility or its customers?’ Extant research …

Addressing the Reliability and Life Cycle Cost Analysis Problem for Technology and System Developers Early in the DoD System Development Process
… on the attributable Operating and Support (O&S) cost of the system. Early understanding of the reliability implications of potential technologies on system O&S cost will help make better informed decisions early in the system development timeline, prior to points of design lock-in. Using a Marine …
