Since the construction phase of a project is usually affected by various external factors that hinder the efficient accomplishment of project objectives, the most effective approach to control construction cost is developing mitigating measures for inhibiting factors. This is primarily because these inhibiting factors hinder time and cost control during construction projects (Olawale & Sun, 2010, p
Knowing to Act in the Moment: Examples from Confucius' Analects. (Lai, 2012) Many scholars note that the Analects, and Confucian philosophy more generally, hold a conception of knowing that more closely approximates 'knowing-how' than 'knowing-that'
Confucius Construction of an 'Analects of Confucius' knowledge base including pragmatics information. (Yang, 2011) One study proposes an approach to constructing a knowledge base for the Analects of Confucius, which aims to promote a correct understanding of this text
INTRODUCTION: CONCEPTUALIZING VIRTUES IN THE ANALECTS OF CONFUCIUS. (Yao, 2012) This paper discusses many of the virtuous that can be found in the Analects and explores the meaning of these virtuous and how they can be applied to modern issues
They did not try to assimilate into American culture, instead choosing to continue speaking only Italian and maintaining their native customs. (Albensi and Grey) In fact, when one of their daughters married a man of Polish descent, she was disowned by the family
Antonia eventually became the assistant postmaster and took part in the women's suffrage movement. (Grey) Although they did live in a largely Italian neighborhood, because of their professions, this side of the family was more assimilationist
For him, the awesome power of race as an ideology resides in its ability to pass a natural fact. (Jacobson, 10) Before the great waves of immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Jacobson argues that anyone of European descent was considered white
The common culture developed by slaves in the antebellum South included religion, family, folk tales, songs, and a common belief and hope that someday they or their children might be free. "Antebellum black slaves created several unique cultural forms which lightened their burden of oppression, promoted group solidarity, provided ways for verbalizing aggression, sustaining hope, building self-esteem, and often represented areas of life largely free from the control of whites" (Blassingame, 1972, p
.to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced" and "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom" (Current, 1967, p
A discussion concerning the differences between shielded magnets and non-shielded magnets and innovations in technology that may allow room temperature magnet applications that avoid evaporation in the future is followed by a summary of the research and important findings and trends are presented in the conclusion. Review and Discussion Standard construction of modern high field magnets used in nuclear magnetic resonance devices The history of the construction of modern high field magnets can be traced to the late 20th century when magnetic resonance applications were being routinely used for medical diagnosis (Carlisle 2004, Leroy 2003)
2). Innovations in Supporting Technology Currently, very high-field magnets must maintained at cold temperatures using liquid hydrogen and liquid nitrogen (Depalma 2003, p
190). Initially termed "nuclear magnetic resonance" (NMR) when applied to human patients, the medical community determined that the use of the word "nuclear" was counterproductive and the process was renamed magnetic resonance imaging for all intents and purposes (Goldberg 2007)
Discussion concerning the effects of transitions to higher magnet strengths on cooling systems Phase transitions in higher magnet strengths represent a particularly challenging phenomenon because of the "dome-shape" it describes. Furthermore, the operation of the various types of cooling systems used in different types of superconductors are affected by a wide range of performance metrics, including design, materials composition, and the type of superconductor that is involved (Johnston 2009)
45). Seminal research in the early 1970s by Osheroff serendipitously identified the superfluidity of helium 3 at very low temperatures while investigating the nuclear antiferromagnetism of helium 3 (Leroy 2003)
Furthermore, the operation of the various types of cooling systems used in different types of superconductors are affected by a wide range of performance metrics, including design, materials composition, and the type of superconductor that is involved (Johnston 2009). Likewise, an effective energy gap in superconductors has been demonstrated in microwave absorption experiments that clearly illustrate the effects of such transitions to higher magnet strengths on the type of cooling levels that are required for optimal operation (Wang, Ono, Onose, Gu, Adno, Tokura, Uchida & Ong 2002)
3). These recent innovations have meant that nuclear magnetic resonance have become increasingly valuable research tools in the laboratory (Wanjek 2003)
Typically, "there is a relationship between construction demand and the growth in GNP, as a measure of the economic well being of a nation." (Akintola, and Martin 1994 P
Economic theory argues that the changes in demand for construction activities may be due to several economic factors such as changes in Gross National Product, and changes in interest rates. (Finkel, 1997)
72bn to be spent on high-speed rail projects, dams and canals, university campuses and road maintenance amongst other projects, in an effort to revive the stagnating construction industry." (Kelly and Herring 2012 P
"…the world of knowledge was constituted by cultural authority figures. Men not only defined leadership, they also determined what was incorporated in knowledge about it "(Turock, 2001, p
