in the process of investment decision making, next to financial indicators many other aspects of investment projects are increasingly often considered. this leads to the multi-criteria evaluation of a project. the advantage of multi-criteria methods is the ability to take into account all (not only financial) aspects of the attractiveness of an investment project. the selection of criteria of p...

technology development projects, unlike many other kinds of projects don’t have pre-defined goals or clear implementation methods at the beginning of the project. among other uncertainties that any project could have, technology development projects have a high degree of uncertainty in the definition of project. for this reason, conventional project management methods such as those provided in ...

nowadays project management is a key component in introductory operations management. the educators and the researchers in these areas advocate representing a project as a network and applying the solution approaches for network models to them to assist project managers to monitor their completion. in this paper, we evaluated project’s completion time utilizing the q-learning algorithm. so the ...

Background: Risks always go with the activities of construction investment projects. The impact risks, whether large or small, affects project results. proper risk assessment will help managers to have appropriate responses. Project parties different roles participation goals. This can lead a view between in project. Aim: study focus on examining management perspectives during implementation ph...

Introduction This project proposal will be divided into two sections: background and objectives. The background section will briefly outline the high-level theories behind Hidden Markov Models, and then go on to mention some successful and well-known biological technologies that make use of Hidden Markov Model theory. It is intended to be only a tiny preview of what the final project will event...

Three areas of activity in the field of low-level radiation epidemiology have been reviewed. They concern the questions of cancer risk related to antenatal X-ray exposure, occupational radiation exposure, and residence in areas of real or supposed increased levels of radiation. Despite the a priori unlikelihood of useful information developing from studies in any of these areas, such investigat...

A real time visualisation method, to be used in mobile gamma-spectrometric search operations using standard detector systems is presented. The new method, called deviation display, uses a modified waterfall display to present relative changes in spectral data over energy and time. Using unshielded (137)Cs and (241)Am point sources and different natural background environments, the behaviour of ...

Previous articles have described a process for the elimination of background from fingerprint and other images by subtracting the background. Two options, f iltration and erasure, have been discussed. Channel subtraction, either in RGB (Red, Green, Blue) or HSI (Hue, Saturation, Intensity) mode, can also be effected with variable results. There exists a fourth option: substituting another item ...
