Estimating of Cost Price of Services at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit by Activity-based Costing

Introduction: One of the objectives of each system is cost of management and costing to help the organizations to provide high quality goods and services at a competitive environment. The present study was done to computing of cost price of hospital services at the NICU section of according to activity-based costing (ABC) method. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. The costing of hospital...

BIM and Cost Estimating

This white paper explores how the reliable information held within a building information model can be used to support cost estimating. The paper outlines approaches used to link BIM and costing solutions, and then provides examples of firms who are using Revit software products in conjunction with various cost estimating solutions, offering insight as to how information from BIM is benefiting ...

Biometric Analytics Cost Estimating

This paper examines the interplay between biometric technologies and advanced analytics, referred to as biometric analytics, as a way to detect fraudulent entries in a biometric system. We follow a systematic approach, based on cost estimating standards, to ascertain whether deploying such a capability is worthwhile. A simple case study is presented that illustrates the key aspects of our analy...

Target Detection in Bistatic Passive Radars by Using Adaptive Processing Based on Correntropy Cost Function

In this paper a novel method is introduced for target detection in bistatic passive radars which uses the concept of correntropy to distinguish correct targets from false detections. In proposed method the history of each cell of ambiguity function is modeled as a stochastic process. Then the stochastic processes consist the noise are differentiated from those consisting targets by constructing...
