The calculation formula is as follows: Cost of the interface = Bandwidth reference value/Interface bandwidth. The integer of the calculated result is the cost of the interface. If the calculated result is smaller than 1, the cost value is 1. By default, the bandwidth reference value is 100 ...
This solution is essential in later analysis, when we examine the relation between implied cost of capital and expected returns. The value of an asset at t = 0, A 0, satisfies the inter-temporal relation: $$ A_{0} = {\rm E}_{0} \left( {\exp \left( { - \mu_{0} } \right...
The implementation of digital disease surveillance systems at national levels in Africa have been challenged by many factors. These include user applicability, utility of IT features but also stable financial support. Funding closely intertwines with implementations in terms of geographical reach, disease...
Of these, 11 (38%) reported quantified costs for start-up capital, 10 (34%) for health personnel compensation, 9 (31%) for training and capacity building, 8 (28%) for software maintenance, and 7(24%) for surveillance data transmission. Of 65 counts of external funding sources, 35 (54...
where the LCOE is taken as electricity price, in constant currency, at which energy electricity produced should be sold over the generation life of the power plant to cover investment as well as O&M expenses, and return of capital for the investors (Marín-Cano and Mejía-Giraldo, 2018, Sim...
Cost Volume Profit, or CVP, is an analysis method of cost accounting that examines the impact of varying levels of costs and volume, and how that impacts profit. A common example of CVP is the break-even analysis, which allows a business to quickly determine how many ite...
Con- versely, an even simpler scheduler that exposes a less rich set of inter-thread communica- tion primitives could be used for safety-critical systems. The scheduler is a compartment just like any other and so can expose more complex scheduling operations such as message queues as cross-...
For example, in Wielkopolskie, a leading agricultural region in Poland, the annual average emission in rural areas is 31% higher than in its capital city. The impact of agricultural practices on biodiversity is obvious and well underpinned in all studies cited in the literature review (Section 2...
The symbolic expression, due to its social and cultural potential, should make a decisive contribution to the reconstruction of Palaeolithic social systems
Thus, regardless of capital grant considerations, financial sustainability appears unfeasible with static tariffs, and even granting replacement costs as additional subventions would still make the recovery of O&M and fuel costs difficult under the mini-grid tariff. Table 2. Financial results of the ...
