SCAV Société Canadienne d'analyse de la valeur CSVA Canadian society of value analysis The Canadian Society of Va l u e Analysis held its third international conference on 12-13 April 1999 in Montreal. The conference theme was " Managing and Producing Value ". The conference was attended by over 55 people and was followed by a three-day module 2 course on Value Management by J.J. Kaufman. 18 pe...

This article is a reflection on significant recent growth in engineering education programs devoted to service-learning, sustainable development, humanitarian engineering, and so on, which we group under the term “engineering to help” (ETH). ETH programs are touted for their ability to provide engineering students, mainly from wealthy nations, with an opportunity to practice small-scale enginee...

           3-(2’-n-butylbenzofuran-3’-yl)-5-aryl-4, 5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles (4a-4k) have been synthesized. The synthesized products have been assayed for their antimicrobial activity against Gram+ve,      Gram-ve bacteria and fungi. All the synthesized products were assigned with IR, 1HNMR, Mass Spectra, TLC, and elemental analysis. Some of the products showed moderate activi...

plex project. But it has absolutely nothing to say about the stakeholder value of the system the project is developing. It serves a purpose, but needs to be incorporated into feedback control systems that focus on the real stakeholder value being earned. The value-based software engineering agenda, described in the “Accounting for Value in Software Engineering” sidebar, seeks to integrate value...

Virtual enterprise (VE) relies on resource sharing and collaboration across geographically dispersed and dynamically allied businesses in order to better respond to market opportunities. It is generally considered that effective data integration and management is crucial to realise the value of VE. This paper describes a cloud-based data integration framework that can be used for supporting VE ...

Nowadays a sophisticated match-making mechanism is necessarily for appropriate collations in virtual enterprise (VE). Virtual market based matchmaking operation enables effective partner search in terms of products allocation by distributing the scheduled resources according to the market prices, which define common scale of value across the various products. We formulate the VE match-making mo...

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is a novel imaging technique that reflects microscopic water diffusion using a pair of strong diffusion gradients. It was developed to map the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) (1). Parallel to the development of DW-MRI, there have been advances in Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCEMRI). Using the MRI signal and pharmacokinetic models, p...

Glia are thought to regulate ion homeostasis, including extracellular pH; however, their role in modulating central CO2 chemosensitivity is unclear. Using a push-pull cannula in chronically instrumented and conscious rats, we administered a glial toxin, fluorocitrate (FC; 1 mM) into the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN), a putative chemosensitive site, during normocapnia and hypercapnia. FC exposure...

Abstract Water scarcity and climate change are posing new challenges to irrigation management. Climate increases water demand decreases crop yields. The aim of this paper is propose a framework select the most efficient strategy mitigate impacts achieve food security. Value engineering (VE) methodology utilized assure functionality add an element creativity while creating value alternatives. li...
