This paper aims at providing a new model based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to prioritize project risks. It is clear that the large amounts of involved capitals, the long term of infrastructure projects’ implementation, and the project management problems in on-time completion of projects indicate the necessity of paying particular attention to this issue and conducting applied researc...

Project managers are grappling with a variety of risks today as a result of increasing complexity and dynamics of projects in different stages of project life cycle. Thus, it seems quite necessary to employ an efficient risk management process that can overcome the shortcomings of traditional methods in order to handle such complexities and reach the optimal project management. This matter is e...

Virtual software development projects have a greater reliance on technology than traditional co-located projects because of the need to leverage technology to facilitate or enhance communication among virtual team members. The goal of this research was to determine whether technology-related risks pose a greater risk to virtual projects than to traditional projects. Seven technology-related ris...

Public owners face a constant demand for developing new projects and for funding the renewal, maintenance and operation of existing infrastructure projects. One way to raise capitals to provide new financial resources to constrained budgets is to securitize a stream of revenue cash flows from a portfolio of mature infrastructure projects. We present a new type of PBS, the revenue performance-li...

according to gas development in most provinces in recent years and the expansion of gas transfer pipeline in parallel, paying attention to project supply chains and related risks is necessary more than past. due to specific structure of project supply chain based on government regulations, this article is aimed at presenting a model to mitigate risks on projects supply chain in state gas compan...

Climate change is negatively affecting people's health, safety, and well-being. Therefore, it crucial to understand whether people perceive they have the capacity adapt climate change. Most studies on can focus preventing negative outcomes ability ‘bounce back’. We propose that adaptation may positive consequences too. introduce construct of transilience capture perceived persist, flexibly, pos...

Multi-biometrics, or the fusion of more than one biometric modality, sample, sensor, or algorithm, is quickly gaining popularity as a method of improving biometric system performance and robustness. Despite the recent growth in multibiometrics research, little investigation has been done to explore the possibility of achieving multi-modal fusion from a single sensor. This approach to multi-biom...
