Abstract: Selective laser foaming is a novel process that combines solid-state foaming and laser ablation to fabricate an array of microliter tissue engineering scaffolds on a polymeric chip for biomedical applications. In this ...

Abstract: Success in construction projects mainly depends on how well project managers handle conflicts. There are in general five conflict resolution approaches: withdrawal, compromise, forcing, smoothing, and problem solving. ...

Abstract: This paper developed new uniform delay models for multiregime oversaturated traffic conditions at signalized intersection. Separate models were developed for each AT and then general models were obtained. The models directly ...

Abstract: For oversaturated traffic conditions, control delays from

Abstract: The up/down construction method has great potential to shorten construction time. Until several years ago, this method had rarely been used in the United States. Recently, however, it has emerged, being applied in several ...

Abstract: Contractors may be faced with the problem of deciding the bidding price of a construction project, when the likelihood of the occurrence of risk events and the risk‐associated consequences (monetary loss and gain) are ...

Abstract: International construction involves all of the uncertainties common to domestic construction projects as well as risks specific to international transactions. Consequently, despite the worldwide trend toward globalization, ...

Abstract: This study examines the relative importance of ice-phase microphysics and sedimentation velocity for hydrometeors in bulk microphysics schemes. The two bulk microphysics schemes having the same number of prognostic water ...

Abstract: While opportunities for international construction firms have been growing with globalization, the risks involved with international construction projects are increasing significantly. However, due to the complex skein of ...
