SYSTEM DYNAMICS APPROACH FOR WHOLE LIFE CYCLE COST MODELLING OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PROJECTS IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES by Sadek, Ahmed

“…This is achieved by applying adjusting risks on project's initial cost at the preconstruction stage with respect to cost and risk behaviours at each time step. Cost impact is following an increasing S-Curve behaviour during CAPEX time and risk impact is following a decreasing S-Curve behaviour during CAPEX lifetime. …”

Critical Review of Steel Column Base Plate Design Codes and Their Relevance to United Arab Emirates by SREENIVASAN, SREEJU

“…Structural engineers are often posed with a question for an economical design of a structural building which would decide the overall economic and the time concern in a construction. If the design is at optimum by choosing a suitable code the involvement of the materials would be less which will help to decrease the pollution caused in the environment as well. …”

Modeling the influence of daily temperature and precipitation extreme indices on vegetation dynamics in Katsina State using statistical downscaling model (SDM) by Mohammad, Hadi Ahmad

“…The results indicate that the statistical downscaling model (SDSM) is performing satisfactorily in predicting maximum and minimum temperatures, along with precipitation, for the time horizon of the simulation. Mean precipitation of 1.98 mm (RCP2.6), 2.03 mm (RCP4.5), and 2.07 mm (RCP8.5) was revealed in the study area. …”

An imageable retinoid acid derivative to detect human cancer xenografts and study therapeutic dosing to reduce its toxicity by Wang, Wei

“…Therapeutic agents labeled with reporters will interrogate tumor–drug interactions and permit analysis of biodistribution, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in real time. At the same time, we can apply the biologically effective dose for therapy, instead of the traditional maximum tolerated dose, to reduce systemic toxicity…”
