A Framework for Predictive Modeling in Sustainable Projects
(2012-05)
Project management systems typically target the completion of a project within budget, on time, and fulfilling stakeholders' expectations and environmental needs from the project. The aim becomes harder to achieve when ...
Phosphorus and Algae Removal via Adsorption
(2012-01)
Algal bloom, commonly known as Red Tide in coastal areas, has become one of the major problems facing desalination plants due to the high biomass concentration of microalgae associated with it. It causes operational problems ...
A Framework for Project Time-Cost Optimization Considering Float Consumption Impact
(2012-01)
The main objectives of construction projects include completing the project on time and within budget. There is always a tradeoff between time and cost. Time loss is costly and time savings can provide benefits to all the ...
Production of Activated Carbon from Sewage Sludge for the Removal of Lead from Water
(2012-06)
