Paddy is the most important agricultural crop product in Bangladesh since it is widely used in daily life as a main meal intake. Currently, traditional manual harvesting process is widely used to harvest paddy grains in Bangladesh. However, manual harvesting is laborious, time-consuming, and...

We present a case study of successful uptake of a productive use of electricity (PUE) co-located at an off-grid clinic powered by OffGridBox in Rwanda. We develop a techno-economic analysis of the standardized, modular, and redeployable power supply technology, characterizing cost components,...

There are billions of dollars at stake in the US nuclear power plant decommissioning market. Approximately 100 nuclear power plants are still operating but will come offline and need to be decommissioned over the next few decades. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) mandates that the...

Purpose The current estimation practice in construction projects greatly needs upgrading, as there has been no improvement in the cost overrun issue over the past 70 years. The purpose of this research was to develop a new multiple regression analysis (MRA)-based model to forecast the final cost...

Purpose Cost overrun is one of the critical issues faced in construction projects, as nine out of ten projects will likely go over the budget. In particular, transportation infrastructure (TI) projects, such as roads and bridges, are vastly affected by cost overruns, which can delay the entire...

Der regulatorische Druck im Bankbereich steigt weiter und hat neben Geschäftsmodellen und der Profitabilität auch die Kalkulationsmethodik erreicht - etwa mit Blick auf den SREP oder die EBA Guideline on loan origination and monitoring. Was die Bankkalkulation als ein Kernstück des...

While the importance of both broadband itself and its speed increases in a whole society, the high cost of providing broadband as universal service at high speed still raises a question of whether to introduce the USO. Therefore, the introduction of broadband universal service at 100Mbps since...

Die in Bauprojekten verwendete Planungsmethode Building Information Modeling (BIM) tangiert auch die Kostenermittlung im Bauwesen. Die sogenannte modellbasierte Kostenermittlung bietet neue Chancen durch die Verwendung von digitalen Bauwerksmodellen als zentrale Informationsquelle. In der...

One of the most important processes in the early stages of construction projects is to estimate the cost involved. This process involves a wide range of uncertainties, which make it a challenging task. Because of unknown issues, using the experience of the experts or looking for similar cases...

With this dissertation, I aim to find out how it is possible for statutory child protection workers to reach decisions when elements as different as a child's needs and the costs of a service are to be connected in the process. How is it possible, for instance, to count costs and sense the needs...
