Approaching electrical tomography
2009
A general approach to electrical tomography is here described, based on the distribution of the experimental data to the set of voxels in which the subsoil has been divided. This approach utilizes the sensitivity coefficients as factors of the convolution procedure to execute the back projection of the data, to obtain the 3D pictures of the subsoil. A subsequent probabilistic filtering technique is described to improve the pictures in view of sharp boundary models. Some models are finally presented, mostly regarding cubic buried anomalies as well as pipe-shaped and L-shaped anomalies.
Continuous Improvement on Detailed Design Phase : A Process Perspective
2020
The construction project being studied is a government investment related to the relocation of a biomedical institute delivering research-based knowledge and contingency support in the fields of animal health, fish health and food safety. The project covers a total of 63,000 square meters distributed over 10 buildings with a very high degree of complexity. The design alone has required 1 million hours, which relates to a client cost of about 100 million Euro. The purpose of this paper is to study the applied methodology for managing the detailed design to identify lessons learned from the project. The theory underlying the study is inspired by lean design management and design theory linked…
Intercultural Communication and its Challenges Within the International Virtual Project Team
2019
With the advance of technology, face-to-face intercultural communication moves into the online virtual environment via electronic tools such as audio-video conferencing, email, messenger chat, platforms, groups, thus distances between individuals from different cultures are reduced and the exchange of information takes place within a few seconds. Cultural differences should not be a barrier to communication but an opportunity for development. International virtual project teams (IVPTs) can benefit from cultural diversity and effective intercultural communication, because it can enhance creativity and innovation within the project team, while at the same time team members are enriched by acq…
A NEW TOOL FOR THE STUDY OF RESONANCE IN CHEMICAL EDUCATION
2014
The objective of this study is to present a computer-based project, for which our program POLAR and our version of PAPID were written for the study of the subject of resonance in chemistry. Both algorithms allow a better didactic strategy and methodological adaptation for the study of molecular properties in chemical education. Teachers will find the options of POLAR and PAPID useful for demonstrations. It is still to be explored the methodological application of these computational programs enriching the present teaching techniques. Implementing new algorithms in learning situations is technically simple, but checking their usefulness in teaching practice is extraordinarily complex and req…
Task Planner for Robotic Disassembly of Electric Vehicle Battery Pack
2021
The rapidly growing deployment of Electric Vehicles (EV) put strong demands on the development of Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) but also into its dismantling process, a necessary step for circular economy. The aim of this study is therefore to develop an autonomous task planner for the dismantling of EV Lithium-Ion Battery pack to a module level through the design and implementation of a computer vision system. This research contributes to moving closer towards fully automated EV battery robotic dismantling, an inevitable step for a sustainable world transition to an electric economy. For the proposed task planner the main functions consist in identifying LIB components and their locations, …
LEADERSHIP – A NECESSITY IN PROJECTS
2014
Leadership is one of the most discussed subjects nowadays, because more now than ever, the world needs good leaders to define a path and to determine others to follow. The understanding of leadership will better enable managers to be effective leaders and to more effectively lead their organizations, given the opportunities and challenges they have to face with. Leaders are agents of change in organizations and a tool they can use to determine change of attitudes, behaviors and actions are projects.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT – A TOOL FOR IMPLEMENTING CHANGE IN ORGANIZATIONS
2013
A project is known as a sequence of connected activities, conducted in an organized manner, undertaken in a defined period of time and designed to generate a well-defined result. Considering the influences imposed by the external environment, often characterized by frequent changes that may have positive or negative effects, organizations have to react fast in order to take advantage of opportunities and to protect them from threats. Because of this, project management can be seen as tool of management used in operationalization and implementation of change in organizations. We consider important for this research to determine the use of project management by the managers of Romanian organi…
Influence And Leadership
2015
Abstract Because leadership is known as the process of influencing others and not only that but determining them to act in order to achieve goals, the article above emphasizes the importance of communication in this process. By understanding the essence of leadership, managers will be effective communicators and so more effectively leading their organizations through projects.
Which Factors Modulate Letter Position Coding in Pre-literate Children?
2021
One of the central landmarks of learning to read is the emergence of orthographic processing (i.e., the encoding of letter identity and letter order): it constitutes the necessary link between the low-level stages of visual processing and the higher-level processing of words. Regarding the processing of letter position, many experiments have shown worse performance in various tasks for the transposed-letter pair judge-JUDGE than for the orthographic control jupte-JUDGE. Importantly, 4-y.o. pre-literate children also show letter transposition effects in a same-different task: TZ-ZT is more error-prone than TZ-PH. Here, we examined whether this effect with pre-literate children is related to …
