Ryan is a contributor to the GAO Cost Estimating and Assessment Guide, and he leads a team that was awarded the 2022 ICEAA Team of the Year for their work supporting Army Defensive Cyber Operations. Alex Wekluk Technomics, Inc. Strategy Track: From “Plan and Pray” to “Sense and ...
These could form a basis for developing a living cost estimating matrix to guide financial planning, forecasting, and cost reporting for the implementation of digital systems for infectious disease surveillance or outbreak response in different settings. A multi-country qualitative study would also be ...
There are a variety of methods for estimating willingness to pay for various states of health or welfare,48,49 but they are often difficult to administer to people with mental illness, and it has been argued that the preferences of the general (tax-paying) public are more germane to the va...
Also of fundamental importance are descriptions of variability in the phytoplankton carbon/ chlorophyll a ratio since satellite-based estimates of chlo- rophyll a are frequently used both for estimating contem- porary oceanic primary production and phytoplankton growth rates (Westberry et al. 2008), ...
Our research represents only a first step in estimating the costs of protective infrastructure using different spatial shoreline positions. It is essential to compare these costs to the value of assets that would be protected, including the value of key ecosystem services. Finally, this study raised...

In particular, if the suggested focus is on the relatively poor and economically weak farmers, a cost–benefit analysis must be performed by referring to this group when estimating both the costs, since the irrigation scheme must be designed for small farms, and the benefits, since new ...
When estimating the previous function, the number of visits (Vi) cannot take continuous values (only integer values), so the use of a regression with ordinary least squares (OLS) can lead to errors of inconsistency and inefficiency [44]. The simplest solution is to use a regression model ...
The objectives of their study were to: (1) develop a model suitable for estimating EE usage in residential buildings in Hong Kong; (2) understand the EE usage profiles for residential buildings, which will help to reveal the elements with significant EE reduction potential; and (3) provide ...
