Cognition and Cost-Benefit Analysis
SSRN Electronic Journal, 1999 Abstract Cost‐benefit analysis is often justified on conventional economic grounds, as a way of preventing inefficiency. But it is most plausibly justified on cognitive grounds—as a way of counteracting predictable problems in individual and social cognition.

Performance of heifers supplemented with different levels of corn on pasture
Boletim de Indústria Animal, 2016 In southern Brazil, production systems are typically extensive and rely on grazing that often results in limited forage quantity and quality, decreasing efficiency and compromising reproductive tract development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the

Analysis-suitable T-splines: characterization, refineability, and approximation [PDF]
Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences,Vol. 24, No.
06, pp. 1141-1164 (2014), 2012 We establish several fundamental properties of analysis-suitable T-splines which are important for design and analysis. First, we characterize T-spline spaces and prove that the space of smooth bicubic polynomials, defined over the extended T-mesh of an analysis-suitable T-spline, is contained in the corresponding analysis-suitable T-spline space.

Cost benefit analysis for failure of sewer pipelines
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 Sewer pipelines failure in sewage networks can have adverse potential impacts on socio-economic aspects in any community. Due to the fact that it’s difficult to capture the relationship between the physical and economical aspects as a result of critical ...

A proposed solution for analysis management in high energy physics [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 This paper presents an architecture for the analysis management in high energy physics experiments. Some new concepts on data analysis are introduced. A protocol for organizing and operating an analysis is raised. A toolkit following this architecture is developed, which provides a solution of analysis management with both flexibility and ...

DNA-GA: A New Approach of Network Performance Analysis [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper, we propose a new approach of network performance analysis, which is based on our previous works on the deterministic network analysis using the Gaussian approximation (DNA-GA). First, we extend our previous works to a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) analysis, which makes our DNA-GA analysis a formal microscopic analysis tool.

The Comprehensiveness Dilemma of Cost-Benefit Analysis
European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, 2013 Most project impacts on environment, climate, and health are not valued in markets or in choice situations similar to market transactions. Analysts have to go beyond revealed preferences to stated preference interviews and even to deliberative processes ...

Rational Competitive Analysis [PDF]
Proceedings of IJCAI-2001, 2001 Much work in computer science has adopted competitive analysis as a tool for decision making under uncertainty. In this work we extend competitive analysis to the context of multi-agent systems. Unlike classical competitive analysis where the behavior of an agent's environment is taken to be arbitrary, we consider the case where an agent's environment ...
