In the Architectural-Engineering-Construction & Facility Management industry, project progress tracking is an important management task. Currently, this task still requires a significant amount of non value-adding manual effort that interferes with value-adding work. Additionally, current practice may lead to approximate or unreliable results. In this paper, the authors present an approach fusi...

background & aim: in this study, is done during one-year research on blue–green and green algae for antimicrobial activity in mashhad suburb. aqueous, ether, and methanol extracts from 44 species blue – green algae and green algae were examined for antimicrobial properties against four bacteria (tow positive gram bacteria and tow negative gram bacteria) and tow fungous. material & meth...

This paper is an overview of a Kinect-based RGB detection software developed as part of an ongoing ‘Smart’ (Smart Textiles and Wearable Technology in Pervasive Computing Environments) Costume project. The project involved a multi-disciplinary team in the domains of textile design, engineering and computer science. In this work we aimed to establish initial studies on how the Microsoft Kinect pe...

Abstract Closed-loop systems are widely implemented in Texas arterials to p...

Understanding the relationship between land use change and ecosystem service values (ESVs) is the key for improving ecosystem health and sustainability. This study estimated the spatial and temporal variations of ESVs at town scale in relation to land use change in the Loess Plateau which is characterized by its environmental vulnerability, then analyzed and discussed the relationship between E...

15. Supplementary Notes Project performed in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. Project Title: Reducing Traffic Congestion and Fuel Emission through a Minimal Cost, Self-Tuning Closed-Loop Progression System 16. Abstract Closed-loop systems are widely implemented in Texas arterials to provide efficient operation of arterial intersect...

This research is the study of a project, promoted by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research under the protection of the European Community, in a more complex “Smart Cities” project, devoted to the realization of an alternative system for green energy production. The system consists of an electrical power supply generated from the anaerobic digestion of biomass. It also inclu...

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...

OBJECTIVES Despite the great contribution made by chemical substances to the development of modern civilization, their indiscriminate use has caused various kinds of damage to the global environment and human beings. Accordingly, the major developed countries and international society have tried to ensure the safe use of chemicals and a reduction in the use of hazardous chemicals through the es...
