T he life-cycle framework is the standard way that economists think about the intertemporal allocation of time, effort and money. The framework has a venerable history in the economics profession, with roots in the infinite horizon models of Ramsey (1928) and Friedman (1957) and the finite horizon models of Fisher (1930) and Modigliani and Brumberg (1954). Developments since the 1950s have cons...

Abstract Today, due to the rapid growth of population, development of the construction industry is a necessity. All around the world, new subjects such as sustainable development, environmental pollution, conservation of resources, and reduction of CO2 emission have become the most important research topics among the scientific societies. In recent years, especially after 1997, new tools were i...

This paper proposes a framework to represent life-cycle activities performed in business process management (BPM). It is based on the functionbehaviour-structure (FBS) ontology that represents all design entities uniformly, independently of the specific stages in their life cycle. The framework specifies a set of distinct activities that operate on the function, behaviour and structure of a bus...

The management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Nigeria and most developing countries has remained a major public health challenge, thus creating the need for reliable and environmentally-acceptable alternatives. This study focuses on composting assessment as a viable recovery alternative for MSW in six States of Southwest Nigeria, namely: Ekiti, Osun, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, and Lagos. Extensive lit...

there are many claims that quantum mechanics plays a key role in the origin and/or operation of biological organisms. the mechanism of the meiosis, mitosis and gametes life cycle from the view-point of quantum for human has been represented. the quantum gates have been used to simulate these processes for the first time. the reason of several hundred sperms has been explained in the male too
