This paper explores the potential of construction process simulation as a web service. This web service, or web based application, exploits the high accessibility characteristic of the web, to support easier information exchange and peer collaboration. Two concepts are discussed and presented. One web based prototype called “Interactive Simulation System (ISS)” allows a user unfamiliar with sim...

The Metaphire formosae species group is a member of the Pheretima complex of the family Megascolecidae. It is composed of 12 nominal taxa, Metaphire bununa Tsai et al., 2000, Metaphire feijani Chang & Chen, 2004, Metaphire formosae (Michaelsen, 1922), Metaphire glareosa Tsai et al., 2000, Metaphire nanaoensis Chang & Chen, 2005, Metaphire paiwanna paiwanna Tsai et al., 2000, Metaphire paiwanna ...

Objective: To determine the impact of dental prosthetic condition on food consumption, risk of malnutrition and follow-up 4-year mortality risk in elderly Taiwanese. Design and setting: Analyzing the data sets of the 1999 and 2003 “Survey of Health and Living Status of the Elderly in Taiwan”, a longitudinal cohort study. Participants: A national probability sample of 2766 men and women 65 years...

In this paper, the fractional partial differential equations are defined by modified Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. With the help of fractional derivative and fractional complex transform, these equations can be converted into the nonlinear ordinary differential equations. By using solitay wave ansatz method, we find exact analytical solutions of the space-time fractional Zakharov Kuz...

the acute ecotoxicity of a set of mixture samples (washing powders, wastes, fuel extracts etc.) was assessed using four acute ecotoxicity assays with aquatic organisms (daphnia magna, poecilia reticulata, artemia salina and desmodesmus subspicatus). the experimental concentration-response curves were fitted by seven two-parameter sigmoid equations using non-linear regression. the regression per...

This paper presents the adaptive integral method (AIM) utilized to solve scattering problem of mixed dielectric/conducting objects. The scattering problem is formulated using the Poggio-MillerChang-Harrington-Wu-Tsai (PMCHWT) formulation and the electric field integral equation approach for the dielectric and conducting bodies, respectively. The integral equations solved using these approaches ...

The purpose of this study is to explain the relationship between variables of organizational climate, organizational commitment, job involvement and organizational citizenship behavior. The study population included 1276 employees of the gas company in Khuzestan province. To this aim 296 subjects were selected according to the Cochran formula. To collect data, questionnaires of OCB of Podsakoff...
