Identification of key process areas in the production on an e-capability maturity model for UK construction organisations [PDF]

, 2010
Uptake of e-procurement by construction organisations has been slow (Martin, 2008). Positive e-business achievements in other industries, point towards the potential for the construction industry to accomplish similar results.

Truthful Multi-unit Procurements with Budgets [PDF]

, 2014
We study procurement games where each seller supplies multiple units of his item, with a cost per unit known only to him. The buyer can purchase any number of units from each seller, values different combinations of the items differently, and has a ...

Commercial Sodium‐Ion Batteries: Understanding Mechanism and Function Using In Operando Neutron Diffraction and X‐Ray Tomography Studies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In operando neutron diffraction reveals the real‐time structural evolution of O3‐type NaxNi1/3Mn1/3Fe1/3O2 in commercial sodium‐ion batteries that is coupled with electrochemical and tomography data. The study establishes a direct link between current‐dependent phase transitions, lattice kinetics, and electrochemical behavior, offering mechanistic ...

Role of Crosslinking and Backbone Segmental Dynamics on Ion Transport in Hydrated Anion‐Conducting Polyelectrolytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thermally crosslinked poly(2‐vinylpyridine)‐based anion conducting polyelectrolytes have been synthesized. The segmental dynamics of these polyelectrolytes have been systematically modified by varying the degree of crosslinking. Both the experimental and simulation results indicate that segmental dynamics have a limited influence on ion transport in ...

Transplantation of the heart after circulatory death of the donor: time for a change in law? [PDF]

, 2015
Procurement of organs has always been conducted according to the dead donor rule, that is, after death of the donor — but this practice is being challenged. Introduction Australia has an increasing shortfall in transplantable hearts.
