Abstract The role of stakeholders in defining project values influences product quality expectations as well designers meeting these goals. Ultimately, determine the functional, physical and symbolic characteristics that are necessary to achieve customer satisfaction. issues value compared within context design management, including their theoretical philosophical underpinnings current management techniques. Value can be misunderstood confused; therefore, it is vital for have a common...
Construction industry reliance on performance metrics fixed at the project outset is being superseded by increasing use of emergent client judgments to characterize success. Clients may still consider a that fails meet formalized time, cost and goals successful if it satisfies requirements not understood during initial briefing. practitioners do routinely recognize awareness improves as projects progress. Internal conflict among stakeholders their reflections emerging solution help better...
Social withdrawal is one phenotypic feature of the monogenic neurodevelopmental disorder fragile-X. Using a ‘knockout' rat model fragile-X, we examined whether deletion Fmr1 gene that causes this condition would affect ability to form and express social hierarchy as measured in tube test. Male fragile-X rats living together could successfully dominance hierarchy, but were significantly subordinate wild-type animals mixed group cages. Over 10 days repeated testing, mutant gradually showed...
This paper presents fully integrated power amplifier (PA) and low-noise (LNA) targeting 5G mmWave band n260 (37GHz-40GHz) in 300mm GaN-on-Si technology. At 39.5GHz, the PA achieves measured P <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">sat</inf> , peak PAE, linear gain, OP1dB of 25dBm, 38.8%, 24.8dB, 19.8dBm, occupying only 0.079mm <sup xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> .

Purpose To illustrate the use of a Value Adding Toolbox by construction industry designers when addressing customer value expectations using problem solving. Design/methodology/approach Focused literature review establishes need for design solutions to deliver and is proposed in response. Case studies validate one illustrative example provided. Interviews with prospective users identify barriers adoption inform recommended approach organisational adoption. Findings The found be effective at...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe an approach managing the supply chain from perspective design which refers as integrated collaborative (ICD). Design/methodology/approach Building on a substantial program research using range methodologies previously reported, concept described argument made that industry needs center development teams (as proposed in accelerating change) around working all parties involved process. Findings recognizes construction sector too often focused...
Ethnography offers a route to knowing about the everyday activities of construction workers, but its long duration is not always suited site environment or researcher's resources and workers themselves are constantly changing. Short-term ethnography an alternative traditional format that permits shorter length fieldwork activity in return for intense engagement between researcher their participants. The rich points make up ethnographic account need be actively sought short-term ethnography....
The process of elicitation and synthesis the collective understanding a cultural domain held by group stakeholders is challenging. This problem typifies pre-project activity from which coherent benefits sought infrastructure investment must emerge to inform business case rationale. anthropological freelisting method evaluated as solution determining its ability be operationalized in practical form for project application. Using data large NHS Scotland building project, use multidimensional...
In this conceptual article, we illuminate Western building conservation philosophy practice with insights into Eastern and associated aesthetic understanding. We frame dialogue recognizing individual societal perspectives on treatments to buildings that attempt attain "permanence" or "impermanence" in form, fabric, artifact. Although not expressly sharing origins, philosophies practically yield commensurate quasi approaches intervention. These similarities have been notably articulated...
This paper presents the design and characterization of a fully integrated 25.5-31GHz power amplifier (PA) using enhancement-mode high-k dielectric Gallium nitride (GaN) MOS-HEMTs in 300mm GaN-on-Si technology.

Purpose For over a decade, UK public sector construction policy and industry rhetoric has advanced value agenda that advocates the development of project‐specific understanding value. This study aims to examine practitioners’ collective cognition determine how their facilitation may bias this intent. A continuum is contributed. Design/methodology/approach Critique design quality indicator (the primary instrument) finds it overemphasises objective value, confirming need for practitioners help...
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the risks building defects associated with rapid advancement “green” construction technologies. It identifies methods adopted by sector for determination pre-construction that are framed within context of, traditional; scientific; and professional design approaches. These critically evaluated utilised in attempts mitigate arising from diffusing low carbon innovations. Design/methodology/approach takes form an evaluative literature review....
Proposes that facilities managers can viably utilize building services components have been designed to be more readily reused satisfy growing client demands for adaptable buildings. In an increasingly dynamic business environment, many organizations seeking remain competitive focused on performing their core function in the short‐term by shedding, among other functions, responsibility supporting buildings external organizations. The growth of management support industry illustrates this...
Design evaluation is a complex and rich social practice that organized distinguished by its practical understandings, rules, general understandings teleoaffective structures. This praxiographic study of major National Health Service (NHS) hospital project uses theory to investigate the concept design as 'a practice'. By applying Theodore Schatzki's site ontology, practices are revealed respond dynamic structures highlight role both intelligibility intertwined impact external policy...
Construction project teams require social capital. When present in appropriate forms, it creates the cohesion through which individuals accept goals as their own. It lets team members share knowledge when and reveal is missing. In education, learning helps students appreciate need for capital to performance. practice, enables that overcomes project-specific challenges. Despite this importance, little known about how perceive or compatibility of understanding with construction needs.To...
