Knowledge management and more generally systems dealing with information creation, storage and retrieval are supposed to be a key factor for firms’ success. However, enthusiasm about their introduction is often paralleled by disenchantment and delusion about their effectiveness and real use. Taking such failures seriously, we investigate reasons leading to success or failure of KM dissemination...

Often, software managers have to monitor and manage many projects concurrently. Unfortunately, some projects were completed successfully but some were not completed on time, over budget or being cancelled. Some of the reasons of this project failure are: lack of user involvement, lack of planning, incomplete requirements, lack of resources, incorrect cost estimation, just to name a few. There a...

collaboration is needed to identify the population most likely to respond favourably to a training programme in order to permit efficient resource utilization. The results of the Harrington paper suggest that the greatest benefit would be observed in deconditioned, well-motivated patients with symptomatic heart failure. This potential treatment deserves to be explored further. Our traditional f...

In this research, the variation of ultimate bearing capacity, failure mechanism and deformation pattern of soil beneath two closely square footings have been studied using numerical methods. It is assumed that the adjacent footings are constructed on the surface of sand. The presented numerical analyses are based on explicit-finite-difference code, FLAC3D. The elasto-plastic behavior of soil is...

the purpose of this study is identification and barrier analysis for green supply chain management implementation in sirjan's golgohar using fuzzy topsis technique and fuzzy dematel technique. at first, in this study barriers for green supply chain management are identified through literature and survey with experts and the priority processing is doing with fuzzy topsis technique. this study is...

acute respiratory distress syndrome (ards) is a potential complication of cardiac surgery, given that patients undergoing cabg frequently have hypoxemia and pulmonary dysfunction during initial hours after surgery. thus, ards criteria in these patients are more likely to be positive while these criteria may not match the patient`s clinical picture. we aimed to investigate frequency of rapid ons...

Determination of the borehole and fracture initiation positions is the main aim of a borehole stability analysis. A wellbore trajectory optimization with the help of the mud pressure may be unreasonable since the mud pressure can only reflect the degree of difficulty for the initial damage to occur at the wellbore rather than the extent of the wellbore damage. In this work, we investigate...
