the purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of cross-cultural communication (ccc) on stakeholder management process (smp) in international construction projects from the turkish stakeholders’ perspective. the research is based on a survey of turkish stakeholders (contractors, consulting engineers, insurance brokers, and financial advisors) operating internationally. the useable su...

A current high-priority phase of human genomics involves the development of a full Haplotype Map of the human genome [23]. It will be used in large-scale screens of populations to associate specific haplotypes with specific complex genetic-influenced diseases. A key, perhaps bottleneck, problem is to computationally infer haplotype pairs from genotype data. This paper follows the talk given at ...

The fact that two independent groups using Type-Ia supernovae as distance indicators—the High-z Supernova Search (High-z SN) team, founded by Brian Schmidt of Australian National University and Nicholas Suntzeff of Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), and the Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP) led by Saul Perlmutter of the University of California at Berkeley—both arrived at the same ...

Previous work has demonstrated that the HbS gene has appeared and expanded three times in Africa in three separate geographic locations and that these three distinct mutational events can be identified by linked DNA polymorphic sites (haplotypes) surrounding the abnormal gene. We have reported that the Senegalese and Beninian haplotypes differ in G,., , expression. mean percentage of HbF. and p...

Public engagement in science and technology has grown in importance as developments in science and technology make increasingly significant impacts on people’s lives. Now, efforts to engage publics in social decision-making or consensusbuilding regarding science and technology involve participation, learning or deliberation opportunities, as well as interactive or coproductive efforts among var...

The goal of the International HapMap Project is to determine the common patterns of DNA sequence variation in the human genome and to make this information freely available in the public domain. An international consortium is developing a map of these patterns across the genome by determining the genotypes of one million or more sequence variants, their frequencies and the degree of association...
