The successful manufacturing of glulam from several important Australian commercial timbers is quite challenging due to difficulties in gluing. Improvements adhesive bond performance spotted gum, Darwin stringybark, and southern pine timber have been achieved using alternative pre-gluing surface machining methods, e.g., face milling sanding-post planing, when compared conventional planing metho...

Fluctuating macro-economic conditions require design and construction teams to effectively and efficiently respond to project risks through improvements in management practice. The lack of meaningful performance metrics, infrequent assessment of project deficiencies and inaccurate prediction of Client satisfaction result in misaligned project management strategies. To develop and test the Dynam...

In recent years, customer value has become a major focus among strategy researchers and practitioners as an essential element of a firm’s competitive strategy. Many firms have been interested in Customer Value Analysis (CVA) which involves a structural analysis of the antecedent factors of perceived value (i.e., perceived quality and perceived price) to assess their relative importance in the p...

Defining strategic position of the organizations within the industry environment is one of the basic and most important phases of strategic planning to which extent that one of the fundamental schools of strategic planning is the strategic positioning school. In today’s knowledge-based economy and dynamic environment, it is essential for universities as the centers of education, knowledge creat...

The wake waves generated by the steady movement of a planing hull are analyzed means towing tank tests. Two sets waves, including divergent and transverse identified then analyzed. wave period is seen to decrease increase in speed vessel. These damp temporally. mechanisms that lead damping were found depend on orbital Reynolds number semi-planing regime, though in-planing regime function boat. ...

Computer models of the heart lead to a better understanding of the physiological and physical processes underlying each heart beat. Various models exist for simulating electrophysiology, excitation propagation, force development and deformation. Simulations can be used to support medical doctors in diagnostics, surgery planing and serve educational purposes. This work focuses on simulating mech...
