Abstract: Experimental investigations concerning cavitation in radial flow pump for three different leading edge profiles of the vane were carried out in an open circuit system. The operating condition of the radial flow pump under ...

Abstract: The roots of common concerns in most construction industries can be traced to improving performance against cost, time, and quality criteria. The importance of productivity in meeting cost and time target leads to the ...

Abstract: The increasing internationalization, magnitude, and complexity of engineering projects has resulted in a review of risk management strategies. This paper develops and describes strategies for appraising the synergistic ...

Abstract: While conflict is inevitable on construction projects, it is necessary for management to differentiate destructive from constructive conflict, and to anticipate and minimize the former, while carefully controlling the ...

Abstract: An explicit expression for the characteristic functional of nonstationary shot noise is obtained with the help of Lin’s formulation. This enables us to obtain moments and correlations of all ...

Abstract: The design–build procurement route is gaining popularity and being extensively used by many clients. Scrutinizing the capabilities of design–build “candidate” organizations (who submit proposals for prequalification/short ...

Abstract: Present trends toward multiparticipant megaprojects have heightened the need for effective and efficient evaluations by stakeholders, both of themselves and of fellow participants. Feedback from such evaluations helps ...

Abstract: Extracting the right information at the right time is vital in any research project. Moreover, researchers generally seek innovative “knowledge mining” techniques for optimizing their research efforts within constrained ...
