Activity costs

Sakharov received many honors. He was elected as a full member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in 1953 (at only age thirty-two) he was awarded three Hero of Socialist Labor Medals he received a Stalin Prize and he was given a counti y cottage. Sakharov s anti-Soviet activism cost him these rewards.

The "Bicocca Project" is an integrated project for hydrogen development in urban areas. It has been set-up as a demonstration project by the Milan Municipality and Lombardy Region. In particular, the Project is important as being located in the city and will provide valuable information on howto carryout hydrogen penetration in urban areas. This project is partially funded by the Ministry of the Environment (a bout 4.6 million) with a total estimated activity cost of around 20 million.

According to the vendor, remediation activities cost 1200/gal to remove dense non-aqueous-phase liquids from groundwater at the Hill Air Force Base in Utah (D14795Z, p. 1). 

According to the vendor, the cost to remediate 7000 yd of soil contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) at a service station in South Carolina was less than 45/yd. At a wood preserving site in New Jersey, remediation activities cost a total of 1,300,000 or an average of 50/yd (D10335V, p. 10, 20). 

Remediation activities cost 200 per ton of soil at the uranium mine in Bruni, Texas, and 150 per ton at the wood-preserving facility in Onville, California (D10361X, pp. 10, 20).

After assigning costs to the activity cost pools in stage 1, cost drivers are identified that are appropriate for each cost pool. Then, in stage 2, the overhead costs are allocated from each activity cost pool to cost objects (e.g., prescriptions, value-added services, and patients)... 

Resource costs are assigned to activity Cost pools associated with significant activities. (For example, purchasing, or employee scheduling.)... 

Costs are assigned from each activity cost pool to each cost object in proportion to its consumption of the activity. Each activity has its own cost driver. 

Not considered a value-added activity. Costs too much and offers no financial reward. 

Azauracil. Early in the testing program 6-azauracil and its riboside 6-azauridine showed considerable ripening activity. Cost estimates have prevented our pursuing these materials beyond the preliminary stages.

Safety related decision making in chemical processes Simultaneous minimization of (1) total safety activity cost, (2) total accident consequence, (3) number of accident scenarios for unreasonable frequency, and (4) non-operating time. Goal programming Example considered has 30 accident scenarios. Kim et al. (2004)... 

The practical applicability on an industrial scale of this rather exotic two-phase system remains to be demonstrated. Doing so will require a clarification of such basic issues as activity, cost, catalyst lifetimes (and thus catalyst life and economic feasibility), toxicity, concerns regarding the ozone depletion potential (ODP) and greenhouse warming potential (GWP) values of the corresponding fluorinated compounds, etc. There is also the possibility of competitive extraction of fluorinated hydrocarbons by the aldehyde phase in the 0X0 reaction (leading to potential problems in subsequent hydrogenation to the plasticizer... 

The development, manufacturing and testing of a stationary 6 MW thermal power plant with fuel cells will take no more than 3 years the project cost will be 23 min USD. The R D activities cost will be 3.5 min USD.
