Rework has been and continues to be a problem during the construction of transport mega-projects. This article examines error culture an alliance that forms part mega-project determine its effectiveness in mitigating rework. Our reveals management positively correlates with reducing rework holds divergent relationship aversion culture. We further show negative association between ability reduce...

background: in conventional radiation therapy, regarding normal tissue tolerance, the treatment of bulk tumors is one of the remaining challenges. grid radiation therapy (grt) is a technique to deliver high doses, approximately 15 – 20 gy per fraction, to several small volumes located in a large radiation field. this can be performed using a grid block. the current work has concentrated on the ...

Efflux-mediated macrolide resistance due to mef(E) and mel, carried by the mega element, is common in Streptococcus pneumoniae, for which it was originally characterized, but it is rare in Streptococcus pyogenes In S. pyogenes, mega was previously found to be enclosed in Tn2009, a composite genetic element of the Tn916 family containing tet(M) and conferring erythromycin and tetracycline resist...

Heralded as the first stage in the regeneration of Heathrow Airport leading up to the 2012 Olympics, the construction of Terminal 5 had bucked the trend. In a world where most mega infrastructure projects fail, the T5 project was not only on schedule, it was on budget. At its official opening by the Queen it was being trumpeted as the 21st century gateway to Britain. But multiple problems emerg...

The Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Image Generation (DIRSIG) model enables a user to generate synthetic scenes. With this package these scenes can span anywhere between 0.3-20 microns and encompass an array of spatial and spectral phenomena. One project facilitated by DIRSIG is mega-scene. In the megascene project projection of aerial imagery is used as a texture map. After scene rendering ...
