Descriptive Spatial Analysis of Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC) Distribution and Mapping HEC Hotspots in Keonjhar Forest Division, India

Doctorat HEC

In this paper, based on an ethnographic study, we show how management controllers craft their jobs through their daily practice and try to stretch their occupational identity. We adopt an original posture, developing a ‘negative ontology’ of practice, identity at work and professional competition. We argue that studying what individuals hide or despise in their daily activities enriches our und...

Doctorat HEC

When the transition of operational activities is framed not as an instantaneous optimization problem but rather a series of incremental opportunistic choices formal continuous improvement (CI) capabilities prove useful. However, despite the well documented advantages of CI management, implementation failures are discouragingly high (Jazayeri and Hopper, 1999). In the quality literature the most...

In vitro cytotoxicity of 4'-OH-tamoxifen and estradiol in human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells HEC-1A and HEC-1B.

Tamoxifen (TAM), used to treat estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, is a well known estrogen antagonist in the breast, but a partial estrogen agonist in the endometrium. In addition, TAM metabolites, such as 4'-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4-OH-TAM), have been shown to be more potent than the parent compound. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of 4-OH-TAM and estradiol (E2...

A Dam Break Analysis Using HEC-RAS

This paper firstly described the dam break in the aspects of theories and models. Break parameters prediction, the understanding of dam break mechanics, peak outflow prediction were shown as the essential for the dam break analysis, and eventually determined the loss of the damages. Secondly, as an application example, Foster Joseph Sayers Dam break was further modeled and analyzed using USACE ...
