Recognition of how climate change is likely to influence other development priorities may be a first step toward building cost-effective strategies and integrated, institutional capacity in developing countries to respond to climate change.
In the end, arguing over what the old data mean just detracts from the more pressing issues involved with scientific research and building cost-effective support systems for affected children, adults and their families.
We propose a novel scalable large-scale OXC architecture with a two-stage hetero-granular optical path switching mechanism based on a combination of different granular optical selective switches and an appropriate network design algorithm that can make the best use of the proposed OXC architecture for building cost-effective large capacity optical networks.
Energy audit mandates, such as New York City (NYC)'s Local Law 87 (LL87), require energy consultants to analyze installed building systems and provide building stakeholders with cost effective ECM recommendations on a multi-year cycle.
Highly energy performing buildings need cost effective solutions which can deliver specified indoor climate and energy performance targets.
This year, a team of Sac State students is designing and building a cost-effective, energy-efficient, appealing home on campus called the "Reflect Home".
Second, raising the base station density is a very expensive option, which does not fit with the operator's need of building a cost-effective network.
In the prediction using combined characteristics, with the goals of building a cost-effective model, decreasing the model complexity, and improving the predictive power, wrapper-based variable selection was conducted by logistic regression and greedy search algorithm (backward elimination).
Given there is evidence that building new wind farms is already more cost effective than building new gas or coal fired power generators, a reserve policy would in effect subsidise fossil fuel energy at a time when renewable energy technology is driving lower costs.
A challenging task of architects and other building professionals today is to design, and promote low energy buildings in a cost effective, and environmentally responsive way.
Few now argue that building more prisons is a cost effective way to prevent crime.
