The development, validation and use of an interprofessional project management questionnaire in engineering education

Roland John Tormey, Marc Laperrouza

Professional skills of project planning, risk analysis, ethical design, communication, and working in interprofessional teams are now recognised as core engineering skills. Frequently, they are addressed in engineering education through team projects. Howe ...

Appropriations and Uses of Travel Time

Ludy Juliana González Villamizar

Time has always been a central factor in understanding the challenges of daily mobility. For a long time, and still today, methods of economic evaluation of transport projects have monetized time savings so that they can be included in the cost–benefit ana ...

Optimal Matching of Random Parts

Thomas Alois Weber

This paper examines the minimization of the cost for an expected random production output, given an assembly of finished goods from two random inputs, matched in two categories. We describe the optimal input portfolio, first using the standard normal appro ...

Stiffness and Strength Estimation of Damaged Unreinforced Masonry Walls Using Crack Pattern

Katrin Beyer

After an earthquake, the residual stiffness and strength of structural elements are typically estimated based on a qualitative visual inspection of cracks that is prone to error. In this paper a new approach is proposed to automatically estimate the update ...

Continuity Of Multimarginal Optimal Transport With Repulsive Cost

Maria Colombo, Maria Carola Colombo, Federico Stra

We provide sharp conditions for the finiteness and the continuity of multimarginal optimal transport with repulsive cost, expressed in terms of a suitable concentration property of the measure. To achieve this result, we analyze the Kantorovich potentials ...

Hydropower Design under Uncertainties

Felix Oberrauch

The design of hydropower is determined by estimates and long-term forecasts. These forecasts and estimates are highly uncertain and make performance evaluation and design choices challenging. Performance evaluation of hydropower projects is affected by a n ...

Inexpensive 1024-Channel 3D Telesonography System on FPGA

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Giovanni De Micheli, Federico Angiolini, Aya Mohamed Naguib Ahmed Ibrahim, Marcel Arditi, Damien Doy

Volumetric ultrasound (US) is a very promising development of medical US imaging. An under-exploited advantage of volumetric US is the mitigation of the strict probe positioning constrains necessary to acquire 2D scans, potentially allowing the decoupling ...

Protection Strategy against IEMI for Wireless Communication Infrastructures

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Nicolas Mora Parra, Mirjana Stojilovic

In this paper, we present a methodology for estimating the protection levels of critical equipment against IEMI. We apply the method to a wireless communication infrastructure, but it can be applied to any critical infrastructure. The required protection l ...

Robust Data-Driven Dynamic Programming

Daniel Kuhn, Grani Adiwena Hanasusanto

In stochastic optimal control the distribution of the exogenous noise is typically unknown and must be inferred from limited data before dynamic programming (DP)-based solution schemes can be applied. If the conditional expectations in the DP recursions ar ...

Inventory Management with Working Capital Restrictions

Cristopher Ariel Zeballos Avila

Working capital restrictions can have disruptive effects on the coordination of the operations and finances of a company. Working capital restrictions may limit the inventory ordering power, reduce revenues, and increase the use of high premium debt. It ma ...

Expect the Unexpected : An Exploratory Study on the Conditions and Factors Driving the Resilience of Infrastructure Projects

This study originates from the recognition that project management research is replete with normative theories on what need projects to be successful. However, it has performed worse with respect to assisting the understanding of how and why similar projec ...

Optimalisation des formes d'organisation dans l'industrie de la construction

Philippe Pot

A piece of work carried out by the construction industry, whether a building or a civil engineering project, is not a mass-produced item. It is always a unique piece of work, by dint of its response to the specific needs of the owner and its potential user ...
