Framework for Identification of Factors Affecting Construction Crew Motivation and Performance
Download2018-01-01
Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction researchers have long had difficulties identifying motivational factors and situational and contextual factors affecting crew motivation and performance. The two main objectives of this paper are to define a methodology to identify the factors affecting construction crew motivation...

Framework for integrating an artificial neural network and a genetic algorithm to develop a predictive model for construction labor productivity.
Download2020-01-01
Ebrahimi, Sara, Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction labor productivity (CLP) is one of the most important factors in the construction industry, as it has a direct effect on a company’s efficiency and profitability. The accurate prediction of CLP is essential for effective decision-making prior to project execution, and continuous...

Frequent users of emergency departments and patient flow in Alberta and Ontario, Canada: an administrative data study
Download2020-04-02
Anqi Chen, Scott Fielding, X. Joan Hu, Patrick McLane, Andrew McRae, Maria Ospina, Rhonda J Rosychuk
Background Frequent users to emergency departments (EDs) are a diverse group of patients with high numbers of ED presentations. This study compares patient flow characteristics of adult high system users (HSUs) and control groups in Alberta and Ontario, Canada. Methods Annual cohorts of HSUs...

From Pre-Service to Practicing Teacher Considering the Stability of Personal and Classroom Goals
Download2015-01-01
Research shows that personal and classroom goals are important for pre-service and practicing teachers’ personal and professional outcomes; however, no research has examined changes to these types of motivation across the transition from student to teacher. This study followed pre-service...

Functional characterization of sucrose phosphorylase and scrR, a regulator of sucrose metabolism in Lactobacillus reuteri
Download2013-01-01
Teixeira, Januana S., Abdi, Reihaneh, Su, Marcia Shu-Wei, Schwab, Clarissa, Gänzle, Michael G.
Lactobacillus reuteri harbours alternative enzymes for sucrose metabolism, sucrose phosphorylase, fructansucrases, and glucansucrases. Sucrose phosphorylase and fructansucrases additionally contribute to raffinose metabolism. Glucansucrases and fructansucrases produce exopolysaccharides as...

Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Recently, agent-based modeling (ABM) has been used to model construction processes and practices because it is capable of handling some of the complexities that arise from the interactions of system components. However, ABM alone cannot take into account the subjective uncertainty that exists in...

Fuzzy Agent-Based Multicriteria Decision-Making Model for Analyzing Construction Crew Performance
Download2020-01-01
Kedir, Nebiyu Siraj, Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Selecting economically feasible policies for maximizing crew motivation and performance is a multifaceted problem, and each aspect of the process poses considerable unique challenges for construction practitioners. Fuzzy agent-based modeling (FABM) addresses some of the challenges of predicting...

Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
The use of agent-based modeling (ABM) in the analysis of construction processes and practices has increased significantly over the last decade. However, the developed models are not able to address both random and subjective uncertainties that exist in many construction processes and practices....

Genetic and genomic evidence of niche partitioning and adaptive radiation in mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts
Download2017-01-01
Ojeda Alayon, Dario I., Tsui, Clement K.M., Feau, Nicolas, Capron, Arnaud, Dhillon, Braham, Zhang, Yiyuan, Massoumi Alamouti, Sepideh, Boon, Celia K., Carroll, Allan L., Cooke, Janice E.K., Roe, Amanda D., Sperling, Felix A.H., Hamelin, Richard C.
Bark beetles form multipartite symbiotic associations with blue stain fungi (Ophiostomatales, Ascomycota). These symbionts play an important role during the beetle’s life cycle by providing nutritional supplementation, overcoming tree defenses and modifying host tissues to favor...
