It is commonly agreed that project management competence is a critical success factor for project based organizations. However, there is not sufficient research in literature to develop objective analytical methods to identify required project management skill level for a project. In practice, practitioners still need an effective methodology to determine competence level needed to manage a par...

Detection systems rely more and more on on-line or off-line comparison of detected signals with basis signals in order to determine the characteristics of the impinging particles. Unfortunately, these comparisons are very sensitive to the random time shifts that may alter the signal delivered by the detectors. We present two fast algebraic methods to determine the value of the time shift and to...
