Abstract:
Object The authors studied factors influencing hospital profitability after craniotomy in patients who underwent craniotomy coded as diagnosis-related group (DRG) 1 (17 years of age with nontraumatic disease without complication) and who met their hospital's craniotomy pathway criteria and had a hospital length of stay 4 days or less during a 20-month period. Methods Data in all patients meeting these criteria (76 cases) were collected and collated from various hospital databases. Twenty-one cases were profitable and 55 were not. Variables traditionally influencing cost of care, such as surgeon, procedure, length of operation, and pharmacy use had no significant effect on whether a patient was profitable. The most important influence on profitability was the individual payor. Cases in which care was reimbursed under the prospective payment system based on DRGs were nearly always profitable whereas those covered by per diem plans were nearly always nonprofitable. Conclusions 1) Hospital information systems should be customized to deliver consolidated data for timely analysis of cost of care for individual patients. This information may be useful in negotiating profitable contracts. 2) A clinical pathway was successful in reducing the difference in cost of care between profitable and nonprofitable postcra-niotomy cases. 3) In today's health care environment both cost containment and revenue assume importance in determining profitability.

Abstract:
SUMMARYThe profitabilities of three land use systems in the humid zone of southwest Nigeria are compared using a capital budgeting procedure combining on-station and on-farm experimental data. The systems are: non-alley farming with fallow; alley farming with fallow; and continuous alley farming. The results indicate that: continuous alley cropping is more profitable than non-alley or alley cropping with fallow; short fallowing in alley cropping reduces the rate of mining soil fertility and thus helps preserve future productivity; alley farming with small ruminants enhances the profitability of alley systems and increases their advantage over the non-alley system; and alley systems remain profitable even when terminal clearing costs are internalized in the current project cycle.

Abstract:
Hospitals are pressured to cut expenses to generate a profit, but many current surgical procedures still fall below a “break-even” point. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a high-volume surgical procedure that can be profitable for hospitals if costs are reduced and complications minimized. Our limited liability corporation of independent surgical specialists examined the preference cards of ten surgeons who performed laparoscopic cholecystectomies in August 2000. We wished to determine whether these surgeons differed in their use of disposable equipment and devices for the same surgical procedure. All of the disposable equipment and devices studied were assigned a price by the hospital purchasing department that was representative of the hospital costs and not what was billed to the patient. The sum total of disposable instruments for a single operative case in which laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed ranged from $92 to $637 (mean $333) depending on the preference of the surgeon. Our study points out the differences in expenses between surgeons. Maintaining this type of expense tracking can apply to other procedures and is a good place to start a surgeon-led and hospital-based cost-saving initiative.

Murray Rothbard wrote an unpublished note in the early 1960s on the economics of antebellum slavery. Essentially, it was a criticism of the methodology of the New Economic History, or cliometrics, of which Conrad and Meyer (1958a) was the breakthrough application, on the topic of the profitability of slavery. Rothbard points out that their procedure in no way supports their conclusion that slavery was profitable or their ideological conclusion that the Civil War was necessary to end American slavery.

Full text
Abstract:
Acyclic path profile is an abstraction of dynamic control flow paths of procedures and has been found to be useful in a wide spectrum of activities. Unfortunately, the runtime overhead of obtaining such a profile can be high, limiting its use in practice. In this work, we present partitioned path profiling (P3) which runs K copies of the program in parallel, each with the same input but on a separate core, and collects the profile only for a subset of intra-procedural paths in each copy, thereby, distributing the overhead of profiling. P3 identifies “profitable” procedures and assigns disjoint subsets of paths of a profitable procedure to different copies for profiling. To obtain exact execution frequencies of a subset of paths, we design a new algorithm, called PSPP. All paths of an unprofitable procedure are assigned to the same copy. P3 uses the classic Ball-Larus algorithm for profiling unprofitable procedures. Further, P3 attempts to evenly distribute the profiling overhead across the copies. To the best of our knowledge, P3 is the first algorithm for parallel path profiling. We have applied P3 to profile several programs in the SPEC 2006 benchmark. Compared to sequential profiling, P3 substantially reduced the runtime overhead on these programs averaged across multiple inputs. The reduction was 23%, 43% and 56% on average for 2, 4 and 8 cores respectively. P3 also performed better than a coarse-grained approach that treats all procedures as unprofitable and distributes them across available cores. For 2 cores, the profiling overhead of P3 was on an average 5% less compared to the coarsegrained approach across these programs. For 4 and 8 cores, it was respectively 18% and 25% less.

Abstract:
AbstractThe chapter aims at providing a list of selected potential applications of KIS.ME. They stems from the authors’ scientific deliberations and can be perceived as prospective proofs-of-concept, possible to be deployed in various industries. The chapter starts with modelling users and their interactions, which include various important components, e.g., experience and performance. The resulting models make it possible to schedule the work of human operators in a reasonable and predictable way. In particular, two cases are considered, i.e., assembly and transportation tasks. In the former, it is shown how to use these models for integrating user operators in a semi-automated assembly system. In the latter, the concept of human-operated multiple transporters is introduced. Additionally, as most indoor transporters use various kinds of accumulators, it is profitable to take into account their health. Thus, it is shown how to include such information in the scheduling procedure. As a result, the overall accumulator health of a transporter fleet can be balanced. Subsequently, an advanced training exercise is presented, which pertains to work scheduling of three workers operating a conveyor belt. Finally, the chapter is concluded with a concise summary.

Abstract:
AbstractWelfare state service delivery is increasingly driven by public-private collaborations and strategies aimed at turning the provision of core welfare services into a profitable business at an international scale. Particularly within cancer treatment development, the cost of medical research is increasing, and many policymakers see partnerships between private and public partners as mandatory to sustain public welfare services. But how do welfare state practices and values intersect with commercial interests as cancer research becomes increasingly entangled with big pharma interests? We explore this question by investigating the collaboration between a public hospital in Denmark and a multi-national pharmaceutical company and the practical work involved in setting up and running early cancer drug trials for personalised medicine. Based on ethnographic research we analyse how competition, investment and exchange practices shape how welfare resources for personalised medicine are defined, produced, and offered. We argue that qualities facilitated by the welfare state – i.e., fast-tracking trial procedures, high-quality data and high compliance of research subjects – become currencies transactable on the global market for drug development.

Abstract:
G-S interactive finance framework is the ideal one to enhance the success rate and efficiency of utilities tunnel projects. Government/non-profit organizations/individuals (G part) and profitable social organizations/individuals (S part) are the counterparties to the G-S interactive finance framework. Utilities tunnel projects flexibly select one funding model or several funding modes to maximize the management revenue. Choice of suitable funding mode (like debt funding, equity funding, internet finance) is important to acquire enough construction capital for these types of projects. According to the number of investors, size of the financing, financing tenure, and finance procedure convenience, every funding mode has its own special character, usage, scope, and procedure. This chapter explores crowdfunding pledging analysis for these types of projects. Small projects of utilities tunnels can use crowdfunding mode, and big projects of utilities tunnels can use crowdfunding mode gradually.

Abstract:
The new technologies brought to life by Industry 4.0 have led to the transformation of the digital world and thus supply chains. To continuously improve speed, accuracy, efficiency, and quality, it was necessary to drastically change the information flow and improve the optimization processes. The complex and complicated tasks of supply chains belong to the difficult-to-solve, np-hard complexity class. In many cases, metaheuristics are used to solve these problems, which can provide results much faster than exact methods, but in many cases, they fall short in terms of accuracy. According to the authors, the use of metaheuristics should be treated as part of some kind of trade-off. These algorithms are usually compared to each other, not to a different kind of optimization procedure, and they do not observe the point that can determine which method is the more favorable, more profitable procedure. The authors present the above topic in this chapter, which helps to reveal further research gaps and new research directions.

Abstract:
Farming is an ancient traditional business, but still it is not a profitable business sector due to risk factor attached to it. It is a high-risk business. Although profit is lucrative, loss rate is also high. Occupational safety is a big issue of discussion for agricultural workers. The methods of working in field in extreme climate (heat, rain) totally depends on environmental factors. Due to rain and droughts, the loss of profit impacts on economic condition and market. Extreme weather condition, heavy workload during their working procedure gives them early old age, bone and muscle problems. So to attain better efficiency of performance and to improve productivity of the worldwide farmers in the agricultural sector it is essential to minimize risk factors. Agricultural workers need sufficient precaution and safety measures at the time of field and machine work to minimize risk factors. Still risk is major discussion topic in agricultural business. So, an effort is taken to prioritize safety majors by fuzzy ahp, and prediction are done by fuzzy logic modelling.

Abstract:
Composite indicators (CIs) are seen as an aggregation of a set of sub-indicators for measuring multi-dimensional concepts that cannot be captured by a single indicator (OECD, 2008). The indicators of development in different areas are also constructed by aggregating several sub-indicators. Consequently, the construction of CIs includes weighting and aggregation of individual performance indicators. These steps in CI construction are challenging issues as the final results are significantly affected by the method used in aggregation. The main question is whether and how to weigh individual performance indicators. Verifiable information regarding the true weights is typically unavailable. In practice, subjective expert opinions are usually used to derive weights, which can lead to disagreements (Hatefi & Torabi, 2010). The disagreement can appear when the experts from different areas are included in a poll since they can value criteria differently in accordance with their expertise. Therefore, a proper methodology of the derivation of weights and construction of composite indicators should be employed. From the operations research standpoint, the data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) are proper methods for the construction of composite indicators (Zhou & Ang, 2009; Zhou, Ang, & Zhou, 2010). All methods combine the sub-indicators according to their weights, except that the MCDA methods usually require a priori determination of weights, while the DEA determines the weights a posteriori, as a result of model solving. This chapter addresses the DEA as a non-parametric technique, introduced by Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes (1978), for efficiency measurement of different non-profitable and profitable units. It is lately adopted as an appropriate method for the CI construction due to its several features (Shen, Ruan, Hermans, Brijs, Wets, & Vanhoof, 2011). Firstly, individual performance indicators are combined without a priori determination of weights, and secondly, each unit under observation is assessed taking into consideration the performance of all other units, which is known as the ‘benefit of the doubt' (BOD) approach (Cherchye, Moesen, Rogge, & van Puyenbroeck, 2007). The methodological and theoretical aspects and the flaws of the DEA application for the construction of CIs will be discussed in this chapter, starting with the issues related to the application procedure, followed by the issues of real data availability, introducing value judgments, qualitative data, and non-desirable performance indicators. The procedure of a DEA-based CI construction will be illustrated by the case of ranking of different regions of Serbia based on their socio-economic development.

Abstract Modern 3D CAD systems offer a series. of new possibilities in product development [Babel, 1997]. However, these technologies are not always utilised in their whole range like, for example, parametric modelling. The functionalities for the parametrisation of geometries are particularly profitable for the establishing of families-of-parts. They enable the development of design variations with low expense. In this paper, procedures for a methodical and systematic parametrisation are presented which were successfully applied in industrial projects using various CAD systems. Conclusions for requirements on parametric CAD systems were drawn from experiences gained during these projects.

Abstract A method for the parallelization of the working steps of an existing product development process is discribed. The procedure which is based on the design methodology as described by Pahl and Beitz provides a framework of rules and guidelines which enable the project leader to judge in which phase of a development and design process the introduction of Simultaneous Engineering is profitable. In a case study of a German manufacturer of tubomachines and its subcontractor the developed method is validated by the example of the development and design process of a geared compressors. The reorganized process was tested using a commercially available 3D-CAD-System in order to simulate the design tasks and a commercially available PDM-System for the handling of the data produced.

In this study, we focus on the Acela Express, and try to find out how selected internal and external factors affect the Acela Express’s ridership. A two-stage least square regression model is introduced in order to eliminate the endogeneity problem caused by price and ridership. Also the Cochrane-Orcutt Procedure is adopted to solve autocorrelation. The result shows that ticket price and train on-time performances, which are used to being thought as important factors affect ridership become insignificant, while other factors like employment of business and professional in the Northeast Corridor areas have higher influence on high speed train ridership. The broader objective of this research is to provide policy suggestions for building of an efficient high-speed rail network that can both be profitable and solve practical problems that the contemporary transportation system faces.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper describes a systematic approach for integrating market research with the product development process. The following three problems are addressed in this paper. First, a demand estimation algorithm has been developed based on conjoint measurement techniques. Second, an integrated design decision model has been developed. The main components of this design decision model are representation of available design options using AND/OR tree based representation, and an evaluation procedure for evaluating profit resulting from a design option. Third, a heuristic search technique has been developed that makes use of the design decision model to select the design option that maximizes the profit. Integration of market research with the product development process is expected to result in the following two benefits. First, it will reduce the number of design iterations. Second, it will help the design team in finding the most profitable product designs.

Abstract:
Abstract Laser post treatment is a well known procedure in order to homogenize the geometry, the microstructure and aspect of the surface of thermal sprayed coatings. Furthermore the properties of coatings, as for example corrosion resistance can be improved, as a sealing layer is induced by remelting. High power laser sources as CO2-, Nd:YAG as well as diode laser are used for this aim. They allow a very deep remelting zone in a depth-range between 0,2-2 mm. Contemporarily the hard phases as well carbides in the coating degenerate due to the very high heat input and the wear resistance of the coating decreases. Short-pulse laser are very advantageous for processing surfaces in a very narrow band (under 50 µm). Applications are nowadays developed for the surface treatment of aluminium cylinder running surfaces and of titanium implants. The short-pulse laser post processing can be a very profitable methods to improve the behaviour of coatings without damaging hard phases. Investigations on remelting of PTA- and thermal sprayed coatings with a Nd:YAG-short-puls laser and with an excimer laser are reported in this paper. Surface quality as for example roughness of PTA-coatings with tungsten carbides (NiCrBSi+60%WSC) could be improved and a slight surface sealing layer was induced. Depending on the adopted laser system, different surface roughness profiles can be reached. In further investigations the suitability of the method was proven for thermally sprayed coatings of NiCrBSi

Abstract:
Abstract A Gulf oil operation company has been working to evaluate a rigless method of Artificial Lift System (ALS) suitable for its current assets and any future needs on ALS to minimize the impact of deferred production, and having the flexibility to bringing back the inactive string to production and act as a sustained production lift method. This paper describes a comprehensive study of the main objectives for a rigless Artificial Lift trial. The Rigless Jet Pump system was selected as one of the ALS fast implementation methods to activate the inactive wells. The trial was conducted in two inactive wells; across two different mega-fields, enabling both wells to produce stably and continuously with an average production rate of 650 BOPD. A thorough assessment was performed and the Rigless Jet Pump System was declared as a successful pilot providing confidence to scale up across all the company fields. The scale-up plans it will include 10 systems that can be rotated and applied where needed across all company fields. The trial implementation of the Rigless Jet Pump was evaluated based on supply and the connectivity in the field. This includes equipment mobilization (from the call-out time), availability of the field resources, the installation job, and up to the Surface Equipment connectivity plan. The evaluation also closely monitored the subsequence rig-up procedure and rigless deployment of the downhole equipment which was designed for installation straddled across an existing gas lift side pocket mandrel. Once surface and subsurface installation was completed, the wells were put on production to reactivate the inactive strings. Both wells were tested to confirm the achievement of a minimum of 80% of the designed production rates. The performance of the rigless activation of inactive wells using a jet pump has been proven successful. Both wells showed promising results while jet pump operation confirming a profitable alternative to accelerate production across fields toward achieving production mandates. The performance of the system delivered the Efficiency and Safety (HSE & Integrity) expected as part of the project KPI's. This novel practice for the Jet Pump System is linked to the rigless deployment and retrieval mechanism with topside equipment skid mounted for easy movement to other wells. This gives to the oil field operators an alternative and competitive edge over other modes of lift that required a workover program. The rigless method can be adapted to the existing in-active wells with SPM (side Pocket Mandrels) or without; by a tubing punch after a comprehensive integrity evaluation.

Abstract:
Abstract When oil and gas wells have been produced to the end of useful life, when the cost of production relative to the value derived converge to a point when producing the well is no longer profitable, the wells are decommissioned. Oil and gas well decommissioning and restoration refers to the process of permanently sealing and abandoning oil and gas producing reservoirs within a wellbore that are no longer productive or economical to operate, in a way that ensures safety and environmental protection in accordance with industry and local regulatory standards and requirements. As part of this philosophy, The project strategy was to decommission and abandon depleted wells as they reach their end of useful life in accordance with Shell PLC guidelines and local regulation as specified in Environmental Guidelines and Standards for the Petroleum Industry In Nigeria (EGASPIN). The field's midlife abandonment project was a first in deep water environment in Nigeria, developed and executed to permanently abandon selected wells that have reached their end of useful life by permanently isolating the reservoirs zones that are capable of flow and restoring caprock. This was achieved by recovering the completion, production and intermediate casing strings to expose the reservoirs traversed by the wellbore, then restoring the caprock using cement plugs which were set to create a rock-to-rock isolation of all zones with flow potential within the primary wellbore. The objective was to prevent crossflow between reservoir zones, isolate the reservoirs from the environment and marine life while safeguarding all subsea infrastructure from damage arising from the well abandonment operations. In total, thirteen wells with varying degrees of complexity were successfully decommissioned and restored without incidents or accidents. The fourteenth well had to be re-suspended due to multiple complex challenges which emerged during the abandonment campaign. The well needed to be replanned, ensuring the required equipment to execute the emerging challenges were available. As with every new project, several challenges were encountered, and new ideas were developed. These ideas include achieving better well integrity coupled with improved tubing and casing recovery practices and optimized cement plug placement will be a foundation for future deep water well abandonment in Nigeria specifically and the industry at large. The learnings from the project were adopted to generate a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for deep water well abandonment. These SOPs and all other learnings and best practices that led to the success of the mid-life abandonment campaign will be adopted in executing the end of field life abandonment for the project and will be shared on this paper.

Abstract:
In recognition of the increasing trend toward the strain-based design of pipelines and the need for basic guidance on strain-based design, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) and the Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) co-funded EWI to provide general guidance on strain-based design for pipelines both for the on-shore and off-shore environment. The resulting guidance can be found in this report. Special consideration has been given to the choice and qualification of pipe material, the choice and qualification of girth welding procedures and the demonstration that both pipe and weld areas have sufficient strain capacity to meet the requirements of the design. The current use of strain-based design has many project-specific components. This limits the ability of a "cookbook" approach where each step can be laid out as part of a common design sequence to apply to all areas of pipe strain-based design. This situation would indicate that taking the current state-of-the-art methods and creating a code or standard would be ineffective at covering the range of needs for future pipeline designs. Yet, because there are many choices that are part of a particular pipeline strain-based design, the availability of guidance and recommended practices can help simplify the design and qualification process for many pipelines. Going forward with this approach, the guidance provided in this report could profitably be taken forward by the industry into, for instance, an API-recommended practice. The primary areas where the strain-based design will be used are in the design of reeled laying of offshore pipelines, in thermal design of arctic pipelines, in the design of types of offshore pipelay systems, in design and assessment of pipelines in areas with significant expected ground movement, and in high-temperature and high-pressure HT/HP pipeline designs.
