Download or read book A Guidebook for Selecting Airport Capital Project Delivery Methods written by Ali Touran and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2009 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes various project delivery methods for major airport capital projects. The guidebook also evaluates the impacts, advantages, and disadvantages of these various project delivery methods. The project delivery methods discussed include design-bid-build (DBB), construction manager at risk (CMR), and design-build (DB). The guidebook offers a two-tiered project delivery selection framework that may be used by owners of airport projects to evaluate the pros and cons of each delivery method and select the most appropriate method for their project. Tier 1 is an analytical delivery decision approach that is designed to help the user understand the attributes of each project delivery method and whether the delivery method is appropriate for their specific circumstance. Tier 2 uses a weighted-matrix delivery decision approach that allows users to prioritize their objectives and, based on the prioritized objectives, select the delivery method that is best suited for their project. The report will be helpful to airports with determining the most appropriate project delivery methods (e.g., DBB, DB, or CMR) for various types of airport capital projects.

Download or read book Systemic Delivery Technologies in Anti Aging Medicine Methods and Applications written by Wing-Fu Lai and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a multidisciplinary assessment of the state of science in the use of systemic delivery technologies to deliver anti-aging therapeutics now under development. There is a gap between basic aging research and the development of intervention technologies. This major obstacle must be overcome before biogerontological interventions can be put into clinical practice. As biogerontology comes to understand aging as a systemic degenerative process, it is clear that there is a pressing need for technologies that enable cells and tissues in a fully developed adult body to be manipulated systemically to combat aging. The authors review advances in the chemistry and engineering of systemic delivery methods and analyze the strengths and limitations of each. The book is organized into six sections. The first offers an overview of the need for systemic delivery technologies alongside the development of anti-aging therapies and describes approaches that will be required for studying the properties and efficiency of carriers for systemic delivery. Sections II, III and IV describe recent advances in a range of strategies that may enable systemic delivery to help combat aging conditions ranging from cell senescence to decline in immune function and hormonal secretion. Section V discusses practical strategies to engineer and optimize the performance of delivery technologies for applications in systemic delivery, along with their working principles. The final section discusses technical and biological barriers that must be overcome as systemic delivery technologies move from research laboratory to clinical applications aimed at tackling aging and age-associated diseases. Benefiting scholars, students and a broader audience of interested readers, the book includes helpful glossary sections in each chapter, as well as sidebars that highlight important notes, and questions for future research.

Download or read book Time to Deliver written by Yaniv Shor and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For some reason, I was too blas�. I suppose you could say we'd already failed, and I therefore had nothing to lose. I would try to do what I'd planned, nothing more." Thus begins Gary Balder's journey from a rip-roaring failure to astounding success. Balder, the protagonist of this book, is a successful, experienced project manager. His current project is managed according to the standard methods yet is on the brink of disaster. At the last minute, before everything collapses and he is fired, Gary meets a mysterious consultant who reveals a new approach to project planning and management. This consultant, who sees projects as social challenges rather than as engineering challenges, helps Gary put his project back on track. Together with Gary, you will learn how to communicate effectively with managers and employees, use the Project Map instead of the Gantt chart, create useful performance measures, and handle change. With more than twenty years' experience in global companies to his name, Yaniv Shor, CEO of the startup Proggio, has authored a must-read book for project and other managers. Through the story of a complex project, Shor sheds light on new working methods at odds with some fundamental assumptions in the world of management. How do you manage a complex activity effectively? Why is the hundred-plus year old Gantt no longer relevant? Why is the critical chain not critical at all? And why is change the best thing that can happen to your project and your life as a manager? From planning your project, through performance follow-up, to risk management, the book reveals innovative insights and advanced tools suited to this era. The working methods described in the book are not theoretical. They are the outcome of a great deal of experience in companies large and small. Yaniv Shor started Proggio to implement the new methods and is making daily converts around the world.
