We should be thinking about long-term impacts, not short-term costs: One of my concerns has been the exacerbated productivity (measured in terms of economic return) and profit-at-all-cost orientation of market economy driven by a culture of immediate gratification.
There may also be an adverse risk selection in this model that is not sufficiently studied; the cost reducing orientation could promote incentives against complexity and cost against quality, as quality is not contractible and is hard to observe [6].
3. Ensure that the true costs are recognized and supported (e.g., costs of orientation, insurance, translation, supervision and mentoring, transportation, lodging, health care, administration, monitoring and evaluation).
She found that for VV matching the cost of ignoring orientation changes increased as the discrimination difficulty increased, whereas for HH and VH matching the cost of ignoring orientation changes was constant irrespective of discrimination difficulty.
Single peaked profiles, in which everybody's preferences are single peaked with respect to a common ordering, arise naturally when everybody cares about the same thing in the options under consideration temperature, left-right orientation, cost, or what have you—even if, as with the bears, there is no further consensus about which options are better than which.
Most Fulbright scholarships fund all participant expenses: transportation to and from the host country, a monthly stipend for the period covered by the grant, full or partial tuition, accident and sickness coverage, and the cost for any orientation or enrichment activities associated with the program.
It was concluded that fin thickness is influential over the mass of whole heat exchanger as well as the manufacturing costs, while proper orientation of the winglet can improve the heat transfer.
Workplace discrimination against employees based on race, gender or sexual orientation costs businesses an estimated $64 billion annually, a recent report from the Center For American Progress finds.
These results suggest that initial processing of object identity is mediated by orientation-independent information and that orientation costs in performance arise when objects are consolidated in visual short-term memory in order to be reported.
As outlined earlier, although these models differ in the mechanisms invoked to explain orientation costs (e.g., spatial normalization or alignment, evidence accumulation, mental rotation, etc), collectively they claim that shape features are inherently bound to their spatial location in the image and, hence, to object orientation.
