چکیده
This paper describes a study of a large design and manufacture engineering project, undertaken as part of a Delay and Disruption litigation. Design changes and delays in design approval would have caused delay to the project; in order to fulfil a tight time-constraint, management had to increase parallel development in the network logic, reducing delay but setting up feed-back loops that markedly increased total project spend. Cognitive mapping was used to elicit the relationships, which suggested the use of System Dynamics to quantify the effects. Results are described which show the effect of levels of design changes and approval delays, and their compounding effect. The wider implications on modelling projects are also discussed.

Effect of Manure and Foliar Application of Zinc and Manganese on Yield and Yield Components in Soybeans (Glycine Max L., Var. Williams)
In order to study the effect of different levels of the manure and foliar application of Zn and Mn fertilizers on the quantitative and qualitative yield of soybeans (var. Williams), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012. Treatments involved three levels of fertilizer: manure (zero as control; six and 12 t/ha), two lev...
متن کاملEffects of Two Corrective Protocols on Trunk Muscles in Females with Hyperlordosis; Williams vs McKenzie’s Protocol
Background & aim: One of the most common causes of back deformities is spinal curve change in the waist. Physical therapy is one of the most common methods for treatment of lordosise and back pain. In the field of corrective exercise, the comparison of Williams and McKenzie’s training findings are small and inconsistent. So, the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 8 weeks of Wil...

Introduction: Back pain is a common complaint both in developing and developed countries with a prevalence of 70-80% among the adults. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of three different exercises (hydrotherapy, McKenzie extension and Williams flexion exercises) on truncal muscle strength and pain intensity among females with chronic low back pain (LBP). Methods: The f...
