The concept of negligence in tort law can be defined in (at least) three different ways. Negligence can be defined in terms of normality, i.e. as failing to act in accordance with custom or failing to meet the level of care taken by normally careful citizens. It can be defined in terms of efficiency. In that case it would mean refraining from taking a precaution that costs less to take than it sav

Gentrification is a current and often debated concept that concerns social changes in our cities. The concept relates to a development whereby areas earlier inhabited by less wealthy social groups are taken over by middle and upper middle-class residents. In the discussions of these changes, two perspectives have dominated. Representatives for the consumer perspective argue that gentrification occ

This paper investigates the usability of a cost model to assess sustainable production.

Thread Level Speculation at function level has been suggested as a method to automatically (or semi-automatically) extract parallelism from sequential programs. While there have been multiple implementations in both hardware and software, little work has been done in the context of dynamic programming languages such as JavaScript. In this paper we evaluate the effects of a simple Thread Level Spec

When calculating the production costs input data can vary considerably inquality between different cases. When costs pertain from products, which are already in production, complete and reliable data may already be available. For new products, new production systems or new production technology it might be hard to find applicable and reliable data. The cost and performance parameters needed can th

To compete on a globalized market companies need to constantly improve the performance in their manufacturing systems. Production performance measures can be used for different purposes, by practitioners they are commonly used for follow-up and reporting purposes. Two of the most commonly used performance measures are Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) and productivity. Between these two productiv
