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...

We prove a max-min theorem for weak containment in the context of algebraic actions. Namely, we show that given an action $G$ on $X,$ there is maximal, closed $G$-invariant subgroup $Y$ $X$ so weakly contained Bernoulli shift. This also minimal any shift $G\curvearrowright X/Y$-ergodic presence X$. give several applications, including major simplification proof measure entropy equals topologica...
