Neste trabalho avaliou-se o custo-efetividade de duas Unidades de Alimentação e Nutrição (UAN) que adotam os sistemas cook-chill e tradicional de produção de refeições. O método utilizado foi a análise custo-efetividade. Como indicador da efetividade dos sistemas de produção de refeições adotou-se critérios de segurança para o controle higiênico-sanitário. Para a sua avaliação foram utilizados os critérios de tempo e temperatura estabelecidos na legislação nacional e para o cálculo dos custos foram considerados os custos diretos diferenciais compostos pelo custo dos alimentos, da mão-de-obra, dos equipamentos e da energia consumida exclusivos a cada sistema. Os custos diretos diferenciais foram: UAN 1 (sistema tradicional) R$0,693/ refeição servida e UAN 2 (sistema cook-chill) R$2,665/refeição servida. Quanto a efetividade, a UAN 1 obedece em 27,9% os critérios de tempo e temperatura e a UAN 2 em 68,2%. A UAN 2 apresentou custo 3,84 vezes superior e foi 2,48 vezes mais efetiva que a UAN 1. A alternativa mais custo-efetiva foi a UAN 1 com razão custo-efetividade de 2,484. A UAN 2 obteve 3,907. O grau de obediência a uma norma internacional referente ao sistema cook-chill também foi avaliado e verificou-se que a UAN 2 não cumpre os seus princípios básicos. / Cost-effectiveness of two food service units that use different foodservice systems - the cook-chill and the conventional systems - for preparing large-scale meals is assessed by using the cost-effectiveness analysis. Food safety criteria were used as effectiveness indicators for preparing meals in the two different foodservice systems. Time and temperature criteria were used as assessment tools, as established in the Brazilian legislation. Differential direct costs such as cost of food, cost of labor, cost of equipment, and cost of energy source (electricity or gas) used in each system were used to determine costs. Differential direct costs observed were R$ 0.693 per meal served at the food service unit 1 (conventional system) and R$ 2.665 per meal served at the food service unit 2 (cook-chill system). As for effectiveness, food service unit 1 meets time and temperature criteria in 27.9%, and food service unit 2, in 68.2%. Costs were 3.84 higher for food service unit 2. However, this unit was also 2.48 more effective. Food service unit 1 presented the best cost-effectiveness ratio ? 2.484 compared to 3.907 for food service unit 2. Compliance level to international regulation regarding the cook-chill system was also assessed. Food service unit 2 does not comply with the basic principles of the cook-chill system.

The quantity of seasonal snow stored in the Lake Pukaki catchment, New Zealand has a significant impact on the country's economy through its influence on hydroelectricity generation, tourism, agriculture and conservation. SnowSim is a snow storage model developed for New Zealand conditions that may be used to quantify the catchment's frozen water resource and the melt water derived from that resource. Through implementation on a geographic information system, SnowSim has been applied and optimised to the Lake Pukaki catchment. The optimal parameters found were: temperature-elevation lapse rate of 0.005 ℃ m⁻¹, snow/rain temperature threshold of 2.5 ℃, and a melt to temperature relationship factor ranging from 1 to 6 mm ℃⁻¹ d⁻¹. The melt to temperature relationship factor is significantly reduced from that previously used for a New Zealand wide application of SnowSim. Use of a daily measured lapse rate was found to provide no improvement to the model, considered to be because of the spatial variability of lapse rates. Inclusion of a radiation component also provided no improvement in the model. This is contrary to the experience found in similar model applications in other regions of the world. The lower relative importance of radiation melt (with regard to total melt) in the region compared to continental l℃ations may explain this result. The use of a new precipitation distribution system did improve model results. Daily precipitation measurements were related to a new annual average precipitation surface prior to interpolating them across the region, without any elevation to precipitation relationship. Model free water results required an offset adjustment to bring them into line with measured lake inflows limiting the application of the model to estimation of seasonal variation, relative magnitudes and event frequencies of snow storage. Over four years of data a model output quality criterion of 0.61 (where a value of 1 is a perfect model) was returned. This increased to 0.76 for monthly values indicating a high quality of output at the seasonal scale. Model parameters and output quality are in line with those found using comparable models for various applications around the world. The variety of outputs available from the model provide a valuable resource for applications in the electricity, tourism, conservation and agriculture industries as well as for climate, glacier, snow and mountain research.
