An investigation into civil engineering estimators' decision making and expertise [PDF]
, 1991 The role of the civil engineering estimator within the contractor's organisation has been well documented. Whilst this role and the estimators' tasks within the estimating and tendering process are well understood, little attention has been paid to ...

Where is everybody? -- Wait a moment ... New approach to the Fermi paradox [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 The Fermi Paradox is the apparent contradiction between the high probability extraterrestrial civilizations' existence and the lack of contact with such civilizations. In general, solutions to Fermi's paradox come down to either estimation of Drake equation parameters i.e.

Exploring Fermi's Paradox using an Intragalactic Colonization Model [PDF]
arXivWe explore Fermi's Paradox via a system of differential equations and using simulations of dispersal and interactions between competing interplanetary civilizations. To quantify the resources and potentials of these worlds, three different state variables representing population, environment, and technology, are used.
