A BI-OBJECTIVE MODEL FOR SCHEDULING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS USING CRITICAL CHAIN METHOD AND INTERVAL-VALUED FUZZY SETS

A Bi-Objective Model for Scheduling Construction Projects Using Critical Chain Method and Interval-Valued Fuzzy Sets

Numerous constraints affect construction projects, and lack of management may lead to schedule deviation.In the execution phase of the project, due to the lack of timely access to the required resources and the existence of uncertainty, the project activities do not progress following the schedule, and as a result, schedule deviation occurs.The sch

Improving outcome reporting in clinical trial reports and protocols: study protocol for the Instrument for reporting Planned Endpoints in Clinical Trials (InsPECT)

Abstract Background Inadequate and poor quality outcome reporting in clinical trials is a well-documented problem that impedes the ability of researchers to evaluate, replicate, synthesize, and build upon study findings and impacts evidence-based decision-making by patients, clinicians, and policy-makers.To facilitate harmonized and transparent rep

A notodontid novelty: Theroa zethus caterpillars use behavior and anti-predator weaponry to disarm host plants.

Unlike most notodontids, Theroa zethus larvae feed on plants that emit copious latex when damaged.To determine how the larvae overcome this defense, we filmed final instars on poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima, then simulated their behaviors and tested how the behaviors individually and combined affect 8 Piece Outdoor Sectional latex exudation.Larv
