Optimal Floating Production Storage Offloading (FPSO) revamp project management : the execution phase model development
… oil and gas operating company perspective at the execution phase. To address the problem of underperformance in this research, pragmatism research philosophy and the mixed research method, comprising five case studies, four from major multinational oil and gas corporations operating in Nigeria, …

Administration and ambiguity: a study of the roles and routines in the budget execution process
… in the role-routine interactions involved in the execution phase of the budget process. Budget execution is widely held to be a control process. But the nature of such control is far less straight-forward and far more complex than is commonly assumed. The dissertation explains the management of …

Distributed method selection and dispatching of contingent, temporally flexible plans
… alternate approaches to achieving a task. Robust execution of contingent, temporally flexible plans consists of two phases. First, in the plan extraction phase, the executive chooses between the functionally redundant methods in the plan to select an execution sequence that satisfies the temporal …

Mechanism Design Theory for Service Contracts
… and maintenance costs during the contract execution phase.

Parsimonious Service Replication for Tolerating Malicious Attacks in Asynchronous Environments
… to be processed (agreement or atomic broadcast phase) and then executing the requests in the agreed-upon order (execution phase). We propose a methodology for constructing asynchronous BFT replication protocols that leverage perceived normal conditions for parsimony and do not compromise …

“AgiLean PM” – A UNIFIYING STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK TO MANAGE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
… Leagile uses Lean and Agile methods in the execution phase sequentially, through using a decoupling point model to separate the two. This thesis introduces a new paradigm in which such a decoupling or separation does not take place. Rather, project management, Lean and Agile have been merged …

Evaluating delays in execution of public sector construction projects : a study of roads and highways in Ghana
This study investigates delays in execution of public sector construction projects in Ghana. A review of literature revealed that previous studies on construction projects focused on cost, time overruns, as well as the causes of delays. It is against this background that this study assesses the …

Political risk management on international construction projects
… In addition, evidence suggest s that the execution phase is most prone to micro political risk. A significant number of the micro -political risks identified arise from the host government, while the balance arise from the host society. These findings are likely to apply to other …

Predicting competitor restructuring using machine learning methods
… outside firms about existing contracts in the execution phase if the contracted firm is under performing budgetary and schedule terms. The contracted firm has the opportunity to defend its performance though, so in order to maximize the likelihood of successful take-away, the bid would ideally …

Improving the Efficiency of Parallel Applications on Multithreaded and Multicore Systems
… applications dynamically. We discuss a dynamic, phase-aware performance prediction model (DPAPP), which combines statistical learning techniques, including multivariate linear regression and artificial neural networks, with runtime analysis of data collected from hardware event counters to locate …

Rfid-based business process and workflow management in healthcare:design and implementation
… business process management, the importance of execution status control is emphasized as a key component to handle complex and dynamic healthcare processes. A five-level framework for service-oriented business process management is designed for SPDs to share information, integrate distributed …

Creating a systems-oriented framework to mitigate the risk of failure in an inexperienced product development organization
… framework applied to the planning, execution and improving phases of the relatively inexperienced Product Development Organization in Mexico, to help achieve what they have defined as success. To develop this framework, first, a systems decomposition approach was applied to a real …

Chromatic scheduling of dynamic data-graph computations
… such as locking protocols and bulk-synchronous execution often sacrifice performance, update atomicity, or determinism. A known alternative is chromatic scheduling which uses a vertex coloring of the conflict graph to divide data-graph updates into sets which may be parallelized without races. …

An Arctic Nuclear Weapons Free Zone – In Search of a Security Architecture for the Arctic
… require trust, both in the negotiation and execution phase, established dialogue forums and confidence building measures provide just that. These contributions were made in an effort to fill the strategic void which the analysis of this study determined ANWFZ proposals have suffered from. It …

Nanopores, megatonnes, and milliseconds : exploring engineered peptides as antimicrobial, carbon-capture,and biocatalytic agents
… is a combination of a time-variable incubation phase and a more rapid execution phase, offering an interesting parallel between antimicrobial-peptide-induced death and mammalian cell apoptotic death. As a follow-up, an engineered peptide (2K1) with high affinity toward oxide surfaces was used to …

Critical Success Factors: an Analysis of some factors at a Nuclear Power utility in South Africa
… uneven distribution of responses in the various phases of the nuclear project lifecycle posed a challenge with the Execution Phase being the dominating phase. This uneven distribution of results meant that the overall findings would be governed by the Execution Phase. This had an implication on …

Characterization of a novel pro-apoptotic role for nuclear associated BCL-2
… Bcl-2 but have not yet committed to the execution phase of apoptosis. A strong potential target to save neurons and supporting glia is to modulate Bcl-2 expression or localization in order to promote an anti-apoptotic function. Likewise, in the case of cancer, 80% of all tumors …

Investigating neural mechanisms of hand movements in virtual reality
… was observed during movement planning and execution in C3 and C4 electrodes (bilateral primary motor cortex). Moreover, MVF reduced inter-hemispheric differences in beta-band power during movement preparation and execution. Significantly stronger reduction in inter-hemispheric power …

The Signaling Pathway of Oxysterol Induced Apoptosis in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO)-K1 Cells.
… and induces apoptosis. We also examined the execution phase of the apoptotic pathway in CHO-K1 cell death induced by 25-OHC. Oxysterol-induced apoptosis in CHO-K1 is accompanied by caspase activation and is preceded by mitochondrial cytochrome C release. Furthermore, treatment with a …

Development of Multiple Linear Regression Model and Rule Based Decision Support System to Improve Supply Chain Management of Road Construction Projects in Disaster Regions
… key factors affecting project performance and execution are insecurity, uncertainties in demand and supply, poor communication and technology, poor infrastructure, lack of political and government will, unmotivated organizational staff, restricted accessibility to construction materials, legal …
