Economic Considerations and Class Size

Determining the optimal size of a ground source heat pump within an air-conditioning system with economic and emission considerations

One of the most challenging issues in modern-day building energy management involves equipping the buildings with more energy efficient facilities. In this paper, a hybrid system for cooling/heating for a residential building is developed and optimized. The system consists of a ground source heat pump (GSHP) as well as an electric chiller (EC) and boiler. The model is implemented in MATLAB ...

Practical and Economic Considerations

PUBLIC LENDING RIGHT (PLR) is a right to receive payment in respect of the lending of books (or possibly other materials) to the public. T h e right, which is usually accorded by law, is most commonly thought of as being appropriate to authors, but publishers have sometimes claimed an equal interest. Lending is usually understood to mean lending for use off library premises, but use within the ...

Economic manufacturing model under partial backordering and sustainability considerations

Today, “Sustainable production” has attracted a great deal of interest by academic researchers and practitioners due to the raising environmental and social concerns. Sustainable EPQ model has been developed as a result of this interest and also necessity. This paper develops a novel sustainable EPQ (SEPQ) model under partial backordering consideration. The model converts all emission variation...

Class Size and Class Heterogeneity

Class Size and Class Heterogeneity We study how class size and composition affect the academic and labor market performances of college students, two crucial policy questions given the secular increase in college enrollment. We rely on the random assignment of students to teaching classes. Our results suggest that a one standard deviation increase in the class-size would result in a 0.1 standar...
