Framework for descriptive and comparative cost analysis of public and nonpublic special education programs
Determining the costs of special education in public and nonpublic settings is an important undertaking necessary for policy formulation and implementation. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-112) and the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (P.L. 94-142) require that all …

A comparative cost analysis of the pathway to diagnosing lymphoma in a tertiary hospital, Western Cape, South Africa
… 2019). A significant gap exists in the lack of costing of the diagnostic pathway to diagnosing lymphoma. The study aimed to cost the diagnostic pathways, namely FNA, core-needle biopsy (CNB), and surgical excision biopsy (SEB) using secondary data collected in 2018 (February until October) at …

A comparative cost analysis of two screening strategies for colorectal cancer in Lynch Syndrome in a tertiary hospital, South Africa
… presents at an early age. Establishing the costs of strategies to prevent or delay the onset of cancer is, thus, desirable. This study compared the cost of two screening approaches - colonoscopy only (Strategy 1) versus genetic testing for LS followed by colonoscopy for the individuals that …

Life Cycle Assessment of Various Nuclear-Based Hydrogen and Ammonia Production Methods
In this thesis, a comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) of nuclear-based hydrogen and ammonia production is performed. Environmental impacts of nuclear hydrogen and ammonia production processes are assessed in five different impact categories selected from CML-2001 method. In one scenario BWR-HTE …

Decision support tool for costing of the pultrusion process
… is governed by engineering constraints and cost competitiveness. A brief discussion of the process variables and engineering constraints is presented in the first chapter. To analyze the latter and to identify cost centers in production more readily, a computerized cost model was developed. …
