Predicting construction cost under uncertainty using grey-fuzzy earned value analysis
HeliyonInsufficient emphasis on planning and control is one of the major causes of several delayed and cost-overrun construction projects. To improve such performances, many studies have been conducted on project control techniques such as Earned Value Analysis

Risk Management as an Approach to Control Construction Projects Costs [PDF]
Port Said Engineering Research Journal, 2016 Cost overrun risks are very common in construction sector. These risks are the possibility of a cost deviation occurrence consequently, affecting the project costs and the involved parties. Cost overrun risks also affect investment in construction sector

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

User cost estimation on flexible and rigid pavement
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 The unsatisfactory condition of Indonesia’s local roads needs to be improved to support the national transportation network. However, construction activities to improve it often have negative impacts, among other: an increase of user cost.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Literature Review on Green Cost Premium Elements of Sustainable Building Construction
International Journal of Technology, 2018 Despite evidence that sustainable construction practice has numerous environmental, economy and societal benefits, many construction practitioners have failed to support sustainable construction practice due to perceive higher initial cost known as ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Intratumour heterogeneity complicates precision management of advanced endometrial cancer. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a minimally invasive strategy to capture tumor evolution and therapeutic resistance. Here, we compare tumor‐agnostic NGS with tumor‐informed ddPCR, outlining their relative sensitivity, concordance, and clinical implications ...
