Automated Management of Time Extension Claims in Construction Projects by elazhary, mariam

“…Then, disadvantages of the features were analyzed within the literature as follows: poor record keeping, delayed event notification, an arduous process of EOT-related clauses within contracts, the lack of a superior delay analysis technique (DAT), no automation of a DAT, lack of standardized EOT submission reports, and finally mistrust/security issues between parties This research strives to overcome the disadvantages present within the EOT submission process caused by the human factor by creating a web-based EOT management system model utilizing a distributed platform shared between all parties to decentralize and proactively deal with EOT claim management. …”

An experimental analysis of the risk-trust confound by Chetty, Rinelle

“…Subjects were also found to subjectively distort probabilities, where subjects would overweight low probabilities and underweight moderate to high probabilities. Expected Utility models and Rank-Dependent Utility models show that risk and trust are statistically significantly related and that the reasons for trusting one's partner may have arisen out of an inner need to simply trust that person. …”

Tentacle : a graph-based database system by Welz, Gerhard Marc

“…The distinguishing features of the system are that it: uses a graph-based data model (and storage subsystem) to provide a flexible means of representing poorly structured information, integrates a path expression-based query language with a general purpose language to query and manipulate the graph structures, thereby eliminating the impedance mismatch encountered in a two language system, and provides a programmable database kernel capable of executing the combined query and utility language, allowing the construction of domain specific applications inside the database without the assistance of wrappers or gateways. …”

Sensor Data Fusion For Air Quality Monitoring by hesham, Mirna

“…Since traditional air quality monitoring methods often rely on geographically sparse and costly air quality monitoring stations, image-based air quality method- ologies are recently offering a compelling alternative that utilizes images from sources like satellites, traffic cameras, and even smartphones to monitor pollution levels by using estimation models, image-processing techniques, and deep-learning models. …”
