• Methodology for estimating the construction duration of nuclear projects. Construction schedules 3 large and small water reactors are estimated. Smaller more insensitive to staffing constraints. sensitive modularization assumptions. Recent project in US Europe were 2.5x their original estimates due productivity misses, supply chain challenges, hiring constraints, other issues. Small modular p...

In this study, a hybrid modelling scheme for 3D Printing (3DP) technology is proposed predicting three resource consumption processes: production time, electric energy and material usage. First, the manufacturing process classified into five machine operations: axial moving, processing, unit heating, feeding auxiliary. Then, according to behaviours, Gantt chart power profile (GP) diagram genera...

ObjectivesTo describe the characteristics of a large hepatitis A virus (HAV) outbreak among men who have sex with (MSM) in Berlin and to assess impact measures implemented.MethodsCases laboratory-confirmed, symptomatic HAV infection notified Berlin, Germany between August 2016 February 2018 were analysed using routine enhanced surveillance data including genotyping results. Several studies invo...

In this paper, a developed prototype for the scheduling of repetitive activities in heightrise buildings was presented. The activities that describe the behaviour of the most of activities in multi-storey buildings are scheduled using the developed approach. The prototype combines three methods to attain the optimized planning. The methods include Critical Path Method (CPM), Gantt and Line of B...

Summary In connection with the pandemic, which caused transition of educational activities to distance learning in front library, there was a need review requirements for information (resource) support readers. The gradual from usual and library services process management communication resources increases efficiency as unit academy, focusing on consumers their satisfaction. For its implementat...

This paper presents an alternative method using artificial neural network (ANN) to develop a scheduling scheme which is used to determine the makespan or cycle time of a group of jobs going through a series of stages or workstations. The common conventional method uses mathematical programming techniques and presented in Gantt charts forms. The contribution of this paper is in three fold. First...

The control structure of a traditional shop floor control system (SFCS) is built according to a strict multi-level hierarchy. Such a SFCS is very rigid and does not support evolution nor adaptation to the factory needs. Holonic manufacturing is a new approach to deal with these problems. A holonic manufacturing system is a highly decentralised system consisting of co-operative, intelligent, aut...

Every entity has an extent in time, such as the lifetime of an object or the duration of an event. These temporal extents are usually described by crisp time intervals bounded by a welldefined start and end. However, under some circumstances, the temporal extent of an entity is imperfect, and cannot be adequately modelled by a crisp time interval. On the one hand, some events may start or end g...
