Methodology. The study used a set general special methods cognition: (QFD) method, environmental approach, multimodal analysis...

Currently the UK construction industry is in search of continuous process improvement mechanisms, in order to improve quality and reduce construction time and costs. Likewise the software industry has been in search of process improvement frameworks, in the past decade. The Capability Maturity Model (CMM), developed by the Carnegie Mellon University, is one of the most widely adopted process im...

In this paper, it is shown that by exploiting the explicit parametric state feedback solution, it is feasible to obtain the ultimate solution to minimum sensitivity problem. A numerical algorithm for construction of a robust state feedback in eigenvalue assignment problem for a controllable linear system is presented. By using a generalized parametric vector companion form, the problem of eigen...

The paper focuses on new ways of organising product development projects in the construction industry. We discuss two such projects, one in Denmark and one in Finland where different forms of ‘network organisation’ have been tried out. The paper looks at how the existing structure in the construction industry affects the product development projects ‘organised-as-networks’. INTRODUCTION AND PUR...

We describe a construction of LR-spaces whose bases are composed of locally linearly independent B-splines which also form a partition of unity. The construction conforms to given refinement requirements associated to subdomains. In contrast to the original LRpaper (Dokken et al., 2013) and similarly to the hierarchical B-spline framework (Forsey and Bartels, 1988) the construction of the mesh ...

Current fabrication processes are limited to rationalizing form to be digitally fabricated as panels for cladding buildings. There is limited or no information that informs about the connection details used in the construction process. The geometry that is extracted from the design is 2D panel information that lacks the intelligence of how the units are fitted and constructed. The exploration c...

In this paper, for a prime number , a construction method to generate -ary -form sequences with the ideal autocorrelation property is proposed and using the ternary sequences found by Helleseth, Kumar, and Martinsen, ternary -form sequences with the ideal autocorrelation property are constructed. By combining the methods for generating -ary extended sequences (a special case of geometric sequen...

The normal form derived by Mansour [I] for single-input / single-output, time-invariant, linear discrete systems will be extended to the multivariable case. An algorithm will be used to achieve simple computation of this form starting with the Luenberger first canonical form. The construction of this form will be illustrated by examples applied to model reduction of multivariable discrete-time ...

Desired physical form of cities has been noticeable since the beginning of urbanization, from old patterns of early civilizations to the latest urbanism’s theories, which offered to build better cities. The opinions in recent decades have expressed that compact physical form of cities is a better form than sprawl form to achieve urban sustainability. The form of the city is the embodiment of it...
