Abstract: In this interview with an engineer who has opted for a career at a smaller firm, attention is given to the various advantages that such a setting offers. After exploring the issues that led to a career switch from a large ...

Abstract: The construction industry has been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic including significant delays on projects and outbreaks of COVID-19 on site. UK legal cases interpreting contractual rights to COVID-19 remedies ...

Abstract: While it has become more commonplace as an environmental management strategy, few empirical studies have evaluated the environmental performance of collaborative governance regimes. Using watershed management as an example, ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model, named CHRE2D, is developed for simulating surface runoff in watershed. The model is based on the solution to shallow water equations (SWEs) using the Godunov-type finite volume method. ...

Abstract: The timeoptimal output transition control problem for stable or marginally stable systems with minimumphase zeros is discussed in this paper. A double integrator system with a real lefthalf plane zero is used to illustrate ...

Abstract: This paper reports the development of an enhanced two-dimensional (2D) numerical model for the simulation of flow hydrodynamics and mass transport in meandering channels. The hydrodynamic model is based on the solution of ...
