AbstractAbstract
[en] In Canada, Radiation Therapy program hours have ranged between 8 and 10 hours a day. Some centres have an option of a 4-day, 10-hour-day workweek. In 2012, Cancer Care Ontario released their Radiation Treatment Capital Investment Strategy. In this, they mandated that in order to maximize the use of current infrastructure, cancer centres will need to be operational for 12 hours in the future. This strategy was supported by a cost-benefit analysis.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The objective of society relative to the utilization of the nuclear fuel cycle is to maximize the benefits of the high quality energy which is available and to minimize the total ''costs'' associated with acquiring these benefits. The comparison of the resulting ''benefits'' to the ''costs'' must be sufficiently attractive for society to accept nuclear energy. In this paper a representation of the structure determined by the ''costs'' (economic, socio-political, institutional, environmental, and legal) associated with adversary action against the nuclear industry and with the measures implemented to deter, prevent, or recover from adversary actions (safeguards) is used to illustrate a broad view of a dynamic safeguards system. This system representation is then used to describe the subsystem areas to which simulation techniques are currently being applied and to suggest other areas in which various simulation applications may benefit the safeguards decision process

AbstractAbstract
[en] The weak coal market of the 1980's has enabled utilities and other users of coal to enjoy stable or falling prices for coal supplies. Falling prices for coal stimulated the renegotiation of numerous coal contracts in recent years, as buyers look to take advantage of lower fuel prices available in the marketplace. This paper examines the use of coal resale transactions as a means of reducing fuel costs, and analyzes the benefits and risks associated with such transactions

AbstractAbstract
[en] Depending on the constantly increasing demands on assessment of investment projects, especially assessment of large-scale projects in transport and important European projects with wide impacts, there is constantly increasing focus on risk management, whether to find mitigations, creating corrective measures or their implementation in assessment, especially in the context of Cost-Benefit analysis. To project assessment is often used implementation of certain risk variables, which can generate negative impacts of project outputs in framework of assess. Especially in case of transportation infrastructure projects is taken much emphasis on the influence of risk variables. However, currently in case of assessment of transportation projects is in Czech Republic used a few risk variables, which occur in the most projects. This leads to certain limitation in framework of impact assessment of risk variables. This papers aims to specify a new risk variables and process of applying them to already executed project assessment. Based on changes generated by new risk variables will be evaluated differences between original and adapted assessment. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Advances in imaging technology over the last decade are reviewed in outline, with particular reference to the U.S.A., and in the light of regulation of costs in the present economic climate. The following topics are briefly mentioned: ultrasound, computerized tomography, interventional radiology such as angiography, and the improvement in communications, with the transmission of images over long distances, etc. (U.K.)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Effort since the last progress report (September 1979) has been directed toward assessing the potential short and long term benefits of continued development and application and medical research of emission computed tomograhy (ECT). This report contains a review of existing ECT technology, including functional descriptions of current and proposed image systems, for both sngle-photon ECT (SPECT) and positron ECT (PECT) approaches. Medical research and clinical topics to which ECT has been, or may be, applied are presented. One such area of investigation involves the effects of stroke. The application of ECT to laboratory research, and to clinical diagnosis and prognosis, of stroke may result in improved management of the disease. An illustration of the potential savings in the cost of management of stroke due to the effects of applied ECT research is included. The results represent a compilation of data collected from conversations with, and conference presentations by, ECT users, researchers and image system designers, and from a review of the literature

AbstractAbstract
[en] This investigation attempts to quantify the technical and economic advantage for the producing industries participating in the CERN-contracts, and this in relation to the expenses made by the member countries for CERN. Some 130 European firms were questioned and stated how they appreciated the sale increase and reduced costs achieved as a result of CERN-contracts. This 'economic benefit' amounts to a total of 1,665 million Swiss Francs (up to 1978); the sum of sales with CERN, however, was 394 million Sw. Fr. The benefit/sales figures coefficients for the application spheres cable, magnets, cooling systems, vacuum systems, electronics, and steel lie between 0,9 and 7,3; they even reach 17,3 for computers and 31,6 for precision mechanics. Nearly 80% of the total benefit given refer to sales contracts in market spheres outside high energy and nuclear physics, such as railway, ship-building, cooling systems, power generation, and power distribution. For the 877 million Sw. Fr. which CERN spent for orders to the European industry during the time 1955 to 1973 out of its total budget of 3.500 million Sw. Fr. the benefit is estimated to be appr. 5.000 million Sw. Fr. The report deals closely with the method and the procedure applied in the investigation as well as the quantification and brings some precise cases as examples. (HSI)
