This paper describes possibilities of using a system dynamic model to simulate experience transfer scenarios in a construction and property management organization. This experience transfer simulation model can be used to evaluate potential benefits and establish the processes that improve transferring of knowledge and learning in an Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) organization...

Abstract The flow organisation of air-jet vortex generators (AJVGs) elliptical cross sections and their control effectiveness on a $$24^{\circ }$$ 24 ∘ -compression-ramp-induced shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction was analysed the basis experiments at $$M_{\infty } = ...

An activity-guided fractionation method was used to isolate anticancer components from Nuruk (Rhizopus oryzae KSD-815:KSD-815). Dried powder of KSD-815 was extracted with 80% methanol and partitioned successively using nhexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water. The n-hexane and n-butanol fractions showed a strong antimigratory effect on human cancer cells. Both of these fractions were subjec...

Field-scale dispersion of a conservative tracer is primarily the result of smallto intermediate-scale advective processes resulting from natural heterogeneities rather than pore-scale hydrodynamic dispersion (Guven et al. 1992). Fully incorporating physical heterogeneity into a field-scale model is extremely challenging because subsurface variability is pervasive, being present from pore-scale ...

A high resolution, three-dimensional numerical circulation model with flooding and drying capabilities is used to simulate the Hurricane Charley storm surge in the Charlotte Harbor vicinity. The model-simulated surge is in sufficiently good agreement with observations at four stations for which data exist to allow us to use the model to explain the surge evolution and to account for the inlet b...

It is not uncommon for a region to be affected by multiple hurricanes in a span of a few weeks. The behavior of the evacuees during a subsequent hurricane in the same season is affected by the damage to the infrastructure and to the vehicles and assets belonging to evacuees, as well as by the psychological impact of the preceding hurricane. One such behavioral aspect that affects traffic-loadin...
