This paper evaluates two infrastructure mega-projects connected to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver’s downtown peninsula: renovation of BC Place Stadium and Vancouver Convention Centre expansion. These projects correspond categories often constructed alongside sporting mega-events with intended tourism development legacies that have a history financial underperformance. Touching upon liter...

Hydroelectric projects are often pursued on the promise of economic development and environmental co-benefits as a source low-carbon energy. We analyse case Muskrat Falls hydropower mega-project (located in Labrador, Canada) to understand why this project failed live up its promised benefits, but instead delivered double disaster cost risk. The key concepts anti-reflexivity deep stories help us...

Purpose The traditional construction delivery method is challenged by low trust and collaboration issues, resulting in increased project costs. integrated (IPD) developed, through a contractual agreement, to overcome these challenges creating common set of terms, expectations goals. Design/methodology/approach A singular case was followed during four-month period. Data collection consisted cont...

Does it actually make sense to further increase the size of Ultra Large Container Ships from shipping line’s perspective? Is possibly opposite what growth in is supposed achieve experienced with current ship sizes? These questions are followed up on basis some fundamental geometric and physical considerations, whereby focus effects longer port stays ever larger ships. Based proportionalities a ...

UNLABELLED There is a growing need in the research community to apply the molecular evolutionary genetics analysis (MEGA) software tool for batch processing a large number of datasets and to integrate it into analysis workflows. Therefore, we now make available the computing core of the MEGA software as a stand-alone executable (MEGA-CC), along with an analysis prototyper (MEGA-Proto). MEGA-CC ...
