A project is any endeavor involving planned action, for example, developing a new product or constructing a dam. [CE1] Major factors for a project to be successful are applying performance measurement and feedback tool. One such well-known performance measurement tool to control the project execution is earned value management (EVM). EVM uses the fundamental principle that trends in the past ca...

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of Project RESPECT in reducing sexual risk behaviors of male to female transgender patients. Methods: In an interventional, quasi-experimental and case-control study, 30 transgenderpatients (male to female) with high-risk sexual behaviors were selected and divided into two experimental and control groups. Transgen...

field trials of molluscicide wl8008 (n-tritylmorpholine) were carried out in khuzestan, iran. the liquid 2 (fx/28), a 16.5 w/v emulsifiable concentrate in tetrachloroethylene in concentrations of 0.25 ppm and 0.5 ppm was used against bulinus truncatus and lymnaea gedrosiana in standing and running water systems . bio-assay tests and laboratory experiments were made parallel to the field trials....

In today's competitive world, reduction of production costs has become one of the corporates priorities. Survival triangle (cost, quality and time) is the solution that helps companies focus on these three dimensions and have the ability to compete with other companies. Cost management is the first step in this way that providing solutions and advice to managers who need help to have a precise ...

Earned value management (EVM) is a well-known approach in a project control system which uses some indices to track schedule and cost performance of a project. In this paper, a new statistical framework based on self-starting monitoring and change point estimation is proposed to monitor correlated EVM indices which are usually auto-correlated over time and non-normally distributed. Also, a new ...

1 Instituto de Invest igación y Desarrollo de Procesos. IIDP, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad del País Vasco, Leioa (Bizkaia). Aptdo. 644 de Bilbao, SPAIN, [email protected] Abstract. -The main objective in the project of a last year Master Engineering course on discrete control where students develop projects based on discrete control at this University has been to emphasize that there are s...

Project management is a well-known management technique that has gained success because it encourages better organization and good engineering practice. This technique is also being used at CERN where projects are managed by engineers. They usually find themselves not at ease with a methodology and a jargon that are typical of an economical context. This paper presents a different approach to t...

This paper deals with the development of a generalized model for version control systems application as a support in a range of project-based learning methods. The model is given as UML sequence diagram and described in detail. The proposed model encompasses a wide range of different project-based learning approaches by assigning a supervisory role either to instructor or students in different ...

The project control cycle consists of measuring the status of the project, comparing to the plan, analysis of the deviations, and implementing any appropriate corrective actions. We present an analytical framework for determining the optimal timing of project control points throughout the life cycle of the project. Our approach is based on maximizing the amount of information generated by the c...
