Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to construct index system of international cooperation project selection, propose a grey cluster model for project selection and apply propose model for Jiangsu international cooperation key-technology projects selection. Design/methodology/approach – Considering supply of international cooperation project is different with its demand, and regional key cooperation technologies should consider urgency and possibility of project cooperation, the author separately construct index groups for supply and demand. To aggregate assessment information of each cooperation project, whitenization function for each index is constructed and then cluster coefficient of index group could be aggregated by using each index and its weight information. Fixed weight grey cluster model is redefined and applied for selecting international cooperation project. And steps of calculation of model are given out. Real application of Jiangsu international cooperation projects’ selection is used for demonstrating process of the proposed model. Findings – Results show that constructed indexes of international cooperation project selection can be used for selecting regional cooperation projects well. And proposed fixed weight grey cluster model can aggregate all indexes information well. Therefore, proposed indexes and model in this manuscript is effective and also it can be used for solving similar problems. Practical implications – Jiangsu province is a developed region of China, and its international cooperation is more active than other regions accordingly. Constructed indexes of international cooperation project selection and fixed weight grey cluster model can help government to select needed projects easily. Originality/value – This manuscript first define a demand as urgency and supply as possibility, and a new index system of international cooperation project selection is constructed with several urgency indexes and several possibility indexes. And a new assessment model, named as fixed weight grey cluster model, is proposed to aggregate indexes’ information.

Abstract:
The complicatedness in conducting software development derives from the probabilistic assessment of future conditions or unclear requirements and project implications. Information technology project portfolio management is more complex and presents program managers with the challenge of dynamic decision-making in the context of target revisions and project selection (continuation of active projects at various budgeting levels, termination of other active projects and launching new projects). The authors propose a simulation-based decision support system for managing information technology project portfolios. At each control (decision) point, this data support system enables ’optimizing’ each project planning subject to alternative determinations of time and cost chance constraints, and evaluating the up-to-date chance of alternative project selections being within the project portfolio budget. These ’optimizations’ and evaluations are provided by a stochastic procedure based on Monte Carlo simulations. In contrast with deterministic procedures that are highly inadequate since they mostly provide erroneous results, the stochastic procedure is appropriate since it analyses a higher level of information and provides more accurate results. The proposed system enables the program manager to decipher highly complex simulation results and make decisions based on up-to-date data. It can be easily implemented even by non-experts.

Abstract:
This paper develops a multicriteria analysis method for effectively making the selection decision on information systems (IS) projects for project management in organizations from a sustainability perspective. The triple bottom line principle of sustainability in organizations is carefully considered in formulating the IS project selection process as a multicriteria analysis problem. The subjectiveness of the decision-making process is modelled by linguistic variables approximated by fuzzy numbers. The positive and the negative ideal solution concepts are used to calculate the overall sustainability performance of individual IS projects in a comprehensive manner. A decision support system framework is then constructed with the use of the developed method for facilitating the IS project selection process. Such a system can provide organizations with an effective mechanism for comprehensively evaluating available IS projects from a sustainability perspective. An example is presented for demonstrating the flexibility and effectiveness of the proposed method in solving the IS project selection problem.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design and Management Program, 2007.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 166-169).<br>As companies are increasingly relying on information technologies (IT) to help maintain their existing and develop new competitive advantages, investing effectively in IT is becoming more and more important. One of the biggest challenges facing an enterprise IT organization is how to select a project portfolio that is best aligned with the business strategies and to deliver highest value using limited IT resources. In this research paper, I examined in detail a recently proposed IT governance framework, designed a System Dynamics model based on this framework, and developed a simulation application to investigate constructs, relationships and scenarios suggested by the framework. My research identified and examined several levers through which IT managers can achieve better alignment with business goals and more efficient use of IT resources. I examined alternative IT governance regimes (combinations of rules and policies for selecting among opportunities and retaining existing systems) in terms of their effects on efficiency, feature satisfaction, and cost of the resulting legacy asset base. By choosing the right combination of relatively straightforward selection and retention policies, IT managers can steer their legacy assets toward a desired efficiency or satisfaction goal in concert with company strategies.<br>by Bin Zhou.<br>S.M.

Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 104-109.<br>It is widely acknowledged that the information Systems (IS) industry suffers from a high failure rate with regards to IS development projects. Much of the effort to improve IS project performance has been focussed on technological issues. However, there is an increasing body of evidence that suggests that the nature of the problems facing the teams that are assigned to these projects is more sociological than technological. As the adoption and utilisation of teams becomes more prolific in the IS industry, it is becoming increasingly important to develop team composition methods that take the compatibility of team members into consideration. Many IS team member selection strategies are based primarily on the traditionally measurable skills of individuals. Yet, selecting a team in which the members have the appropriate skills does not guarantee that the individuals in the team will combine to form an effective and cohesive unit. Several team effectiveness models relating to sociological constructs have been developed in past research. These identify variables that have been predicted to influence the effectiveness of various types of teams. This research proposes a model that demonstrates the extent to which certain variables that have been identified in the literature influence the effectiveness of IS project teams. Through this assessment, it is possible to isolate the variables that have a significant impact on IS team effectiveness, thereby highlighting some of the sociological issues that should be considered when selecting team members. The relationships in the model were tested through a questionnaire that was distributed amongst 33 Information Systems project teams. Individuals in 4 of the teams submitted incomplete responses, thereby yielding a final sample of 29 teams comprising 163 individuals. Where possible, all questions were based on previously validated instruments. Initial construct validity was improved by removing 2 items from the questionnaire. Certain constructs were broken into 2 dimensions, yielding a set of constructs with reasonably high validity. All construct measures in the instrument were shown to be statistically reliable. It was found that certain variables did have a significant impact on the effectiveness of IS project teams. The predicted relationships that were supported were those between skill heterogeneity and IS team effectiveness, and between team role balance and IS team effectiveness. It was shown that individuals are more likely to combine to form an effective team if they are diverse in terms of their skills and abilities. The members should also fulfil team roles that combine to provide the team with a team role profile that is balanced. The levels of cohesion within the teams mediated the relationship between skill heterogeneity and IS team effectiveness. A strong correlation between cohesion and IS team effectiveness was demonstrated. One of the relationships in the research model that was not supported was that between background heterogeneity and IS team effectiveness. it was initially predicted that teams in which members displayed a diverse set of backgrounds, expertise, and experience would be more effective than those that did not. The diversity levels of these characteristics within IS project teams were shown to have no influence on the effectiveness of the teams. Past research in which the impact of background heterogeneity on team effectiveness has been examined has also yielded mixed results. It is recommended that future research examine this relationship more closely as an increasingly migrant global work force will ensure that this issue wilt be one of the key issues facing IS management in the future. It is also suggested that research into the area of IS team composition variables be specific to both the type of IS project being undertaken, and the lifecycle stage in which the project is operating.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 118-122).<br>IT investments constitute a major portion of the capital budgets of many organizations. It can be challenging to select the right projects that fit the corporate strategy to maximize value for the organization. In the past, senior executives focused on projects that met three criteria, namely being on-time, on budget and in scope. However, a shift has occurred as a result of the fact that senior executives are more concerned about the right mix of projects that will best utilise the organization's resources and deliver long-range growth. Some of the benefits of IT Project Portfolio Management (IT PPM) are to provide executives with the ability to monitor projects ensure business alignment and identify risks quickly. It is argued that maintaining a balanced portfolio of diverse projects can reduce the risk of an individual project and can produce a higher rate of return.

Abstract:
The rapid advance in information and communication technologies has effectively facilitated the development and implementation of information systems (IS) projects in modern organizations for reorganizing their business processes and streamlining the provision of their products and services in today's dynamic environment. Such a development brings organizations with numerous benefits including increased automation of business processes, improved customer service, and timely provision of effective decision support. As a result, evaluating and selecting the most appropriate IS project for development and implementation from a pool of available IS projects becomes a critical decision to make in modern organizations. Evaluating and selecting appropriate IS projects for development in an organization, however, is complex and challenging. The complexity of the evaluation and selection process is due to the multi-dimensional nature of the decision making process, the conflicting nature of the multiple selection criteria, and the presence of subjectiveness and imprecision of the human decision making process. The challenging of the evaluation and selection comes from the need for making transparent and balanced decisions based on a comprehensive evaluation of all available IS projects in a timely manner. Much research has been done on the development of various approaches for evaluating and selecting IS projects, and numerous applications of those approaches for addressing real world IS project evaluation and selection problems have been reported in the literature. In general, existing approaches can be classified into (a) cost-benefit analysis based approaches, (b) utility based approaches, and (c) optimization oriented approaches. These approaches, however, are not totally satisfactory due to various shortcomings including (a) the inability to tackle the subjectiveness and imprecision of the selection process, (b) the failure to adequately handle the multi-dimensional nature of the problem, and (c) cognitively very demanding on the decision maker. To address these issues above, this research has developed three novel approaches for effectively solving the IS project evaluation and selection problem under uncertainty in an organization. The first approach is developed for helping the decision maker better model the subjectiveness and imprecision inherent in the decision-making process with the use of linguistic variables approximated by fuzzy numbers. The second approach is designed to reduce the cognitive demanding on the decision maker in the IS project evaluation and selection process with the introduction of fuzzy pairwise comparison. The third approach is formulated with respect to the use of intelligent decision support systems for facilitating the use of specific multi-criteria analysis approaches in relation to individual IS project evaluation and selection situations. The developed approaches have been applied for solving three IS project evaluation and selection problems in the real world settings. The results show that the three developed ap proaches are of practical significance for effectively and efficiently solving the IS project evaluation and selection problem due to (a) the simplicity and comprehensibility of the underlying concept, (b) the adequate handling of inherent uncertainty and imprecision, and (c) the ability to help the decision maker better understand the IS project selection problem and the implications of their decision behaviours.

Abstract:
A substantial amount of IT projects fail or stay challenged in meeting their targets based on project schedule, budget and system requirements.  Leading global surveys in the last decade barely indicate any improvement in the statistical performance of IT projects in spite of the fact that a lot of effort has been taken in the past to identify and fix those critical factors on which the success and failure of IT projects are generally based on. The poor trend and the underperformance of IT projects still continue. Different researches based on different approaches identify different critical factors but to a very large extent people and processes are blamed. This thesis is under taken to understand the impact of Information Systems (IS) processes and methodologies in the success and failure of IT projects. Major challenges within IS processes, such as their initial identification, implementation and organizational process awareness are identified through qualitative research methods. ‘Identification and selection of IS process and methodologies’ is identified as a major challenge within IT projects and is discussed in detail as, why and what difficulties organizations face in the process of  selecting processes and methodologies on a given IT project. A couple of methodology selection frameworks to overcome these difficulties are presented along side with their critical review and improvement. We come to a conclusion that there is a growing need for more efficient and competent methodology selection frameworks as the ones which exist today are barely complete and efficient and if they do then only to a limited and partial degree.

Abstract:
In 2012, the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Board of Scientific Advisors (BSA) conducted a review of the Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology's (CBIIT) bioinformatics program. The BSA suggested that the lack of a formal project selection process made it difficult to determine the alignment of projects with the mission of the organization. The problem addressed by this study was that CBIIT did not have an in-depth understanding of the project selection process and the factors influencing the process. The purpose of this study was to understand the project selection process at CBIIT. The research methodology was an exploratory case study. The data collection process included a phenomenological interview of 25 managers from program management, engineering, scientific computing, informatics program, and health sciences. The data analysis consisted of coding for themes, sensitizing, and heuristic coding, supported by a theoretical framework that included the technology acceptance model, the program evaluation theory, and decision theory. The analysis revealed the need for formal project portfolio governance, the lack of a predefined project selection process, and that the decision-making process was circumstantial. The study also revealed six major themes that affected the decision-making process: the CBIIT mission, the organizational culture, leadership, governance, funding, and organizational change. Finally, the study fills the gap in the literature regarding the project selection process for government-funded initiatives in information technologies. This study may contribute to positive social change by improving the project selection process at CBIIT, allowing for the effective use of public funds for cancer informatics researchers.

Abstract:
Abstract The cost of chemical process equipment per ton of product depends strongly on the original choice of materials of construction, and on the proper application of these materials. Inappropriate material selection or improper fabrication methods raises the process cost because of the downtime and maintenance costs required to repair corrosion damage. Where processes involve hazardous chemicals, incorrect materials usage can also jeopardize the safety of plant workers. Computer-based intelligent information systems can provide relevant material selection and fabrication advice in a readily accessible format. If made available to plant personnel who are not materials specialists, such advice can contribute to reduced equipment costs and minimized safety hazards. The Materials Technology Institute of the Chemical Process Industries (MTI) with the support of the Nickel Development Institute is sponsoring a project at the NACE-NIST Corrosion Data Center in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), formerly the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), to develop expert systems concerning materials for handling hazardous chemicals. Expert systems are computer programs that provide expert advice within a specific domain. Useful not only by themselves, expert systems can also be incorporated within intelligent information systems which may include other expert systems, databases, full-text search and retrieval from technical articles, subroutines for calculations, and other types of computer programs. This paper will summarize expert system technology, describe an MTI-NACE-NIST system which provides advice on the use of materials for shipping, handling and storing concentrated sulfuric acid and oleum, and suggest other areas in which this technology may develop.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Concept selection and initial design of deepwater subsea production systems can have a profound impact on the evaluation of the commercial viability of a discovery. Although detailed design comes later in the process, the decisions made at this early stage of a project will generally provide the template that is carried through to construction and operation. Scale management can be a significant factor in deciding the outcome of the concept selection phase, particularly for fields that are expected to require seawater injection at some stage in their design life. Early in a project it is common to have information from only one or two exploration wells and where water samples are often not available, are heavily contaminated, or have been gathered from locations away from the main production targets. This paper outlines the difficulties faced when evaluating the various scale management techniques available to deepwater operators at the early stages of the project design process and in providing fit for purpose design recommendations that are not overly conservative but that still account for the risk posed by having only limited supporting information available. An approach is presented that addresses these risks and uncertainties by applying scale modeling along with a simple heuristic strategy to support the selection of appropriate scale management techniques for deepwater subsea fields. Several comparative examples for projects in the Gulf of Mexico are provided to explain the different outcomes that can result from this process.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Pipeline coating selection is currently carried out at an early stage in a project with little reference to actual site conditions. Early consideration of geotechnical conditions in coating selection and backfill design could prove technically, economically and environmentally beneficial. In addition, bedding, padding and backfilling requirements are not specified on a project specific basis and the current methodology for design, engineering and construction does not allow optimization of the coating and backfill system. In comparison to the pipeline design engineer's ability to undertake detailed analyses that influence pipe size, material grade etc., limited information exists on pipe coating/backfill interactions and hence a conservative approach is often taken in the selection of bedding and backfill materials used to create the pipeline's habitat. Although detailed discussions will often be held on the benefits of thick (multi-layer) versus thin film coatings, the actual choice will rarely be used to justify relaxing the controls on, and hence the cost of, bedding and backfill materials. The paper reviews the financial and technical issues that need to be considered when selecting external coating systems for the corrosion protection of high-pressure transmission pipelines. The paper focuses specifically on the coating's mechanical properties in relation to the need to use imported or site-processed bedding and backfill materials to create the pipeline's habitat, and describes a program of small-scale laboratory and large-scale site tests carried out for two major pipeline operators to simulate construction damage due to backfilling and damage due to penetration loading and pipe movement during service. The results of the tests have enabled bedding &amp; padding material specifications to be proposed for a range of different pipeline coatings and hence achieved a reduction in pipeline capital costs.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Cadmium is currently used in many military applications to provide corrosion protection. Since it has been identified as a hazardous material, cadmium has been targeted for complete removal from Army weapon systems. Unfortunately, there is no “drop-in” replacement for cadmium. Users must choose from a variety of alternatives to suit their specific needs. Because of these needs, the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive &amp; Armaments Command’s (TACOM) Tank-Automotive Research, Development, &amp; Engineering Center (TARDEC) created an Alternate Material Selection System for Cadmium (AMSS-Cd) to assist in the selection of alternative materials. The original version of the AMSS-Cd was created from available physical and performance data. Some areas were found where information is unavailable. TACOM-TARDEC sponsored three projects over the past year to update the AMSS-Cd where information is needed. These efforts included (1) evaluating cadmium replacements on electrical connectors, (2) evaluating cadmium alternatives for fastener applications, and (3) testing to discover possible chromate conversion coating replacements to enhance the performance of cadmium alternatives. This paper will present an overview of the AMSS-Cd and it’s use. The paper will also discuss the corrosion control aspects of Cadmium and Cadmium alternatives in more detail.

Abstract:
The selection of a procurement system through Design-Build is one of the alternatives for reducing the project implementation schedule, but time delays still occur. This study aims to determine the priority of risk sources and risk control strategies using the house of risk method through a questionnaire given to experts as respondents. Forty risk events and 17 risk agents will be assigned to contractors experienced in design-build construction on building projects. Based on the analysis results, the highest risk priority was that the contract between the project owner and the design-build contractor was unclear or contained ambiguities. The highest risk management strategy priority is on Strong and continuous communication and collaboration among all parties involved, including project owners, designers, contractors, and subcontractors, while the lowest risk control strategy is negotiation and agreement when facing unclear or inaccurate information, involving the owner in an open and constructive negotiation process. The findings will provide deeper insight into the effectiveness of risk control strategies for contractors and owners. not only that, the results of this study can be used as material in making improvements to the Design-Build method in minimising the potential for construction project delays.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Cathodic protection systems for reinforced concrete structures have provided long-term corrosion protection to many reinforced concrete structures in Australia over the past 40 years. In recent years, galvanic-based cathodic protection has become an area of substantial growth due to its simplicity and low monitoring and maintenance requirements. The lack of independent detailed information related to the costing, performance, advantages, and disadvantages of galvanic-based and impressed current corrosion protection systems has in many cases led to the selection of unsuitable corrosion protection systems, unable to provide long-term cost-effective corrosion protection solutions. This paper presents performance data from a recently completed major rehabilitation project of a multi-story building in Sydney, Australia, where both impressed current and galvanic cathodic protection systems have been utilized. This paper outlines the reasons behind the selection process of the corrosion protection systems and presents the performance data of some of the protection systems post-construction. This paper aims to assist owners in the selection process of the optimum corrosion protection solution for their assets.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Bleach plant tanks and towers are critical equipment that must perform reliably in a highly corrosive process environment over an extended service life. To assure the necessary quality to withstand this environment, while also assuring competitive bidding, the new equipment must be rigorously specified and the bidding process must be carefully controlled. A new website has been created that enables the specifying engineer to generate a complete set of equipment specifications and bidding documents for bleach plant tanks and towers. Similar FRP equipment specifications for bleach plant piping, ducting, hoods, etc. can be generated at the same time. This website prompts a specifying engineer anywhere in the world to enter relevant information and then, with the stroke of a key, generate and retrieve a complete set of FRP equipment specifications in industry-standard CSI format. This information includes project information, equipment information, process chemistry data, e.g. chlorine dioxide, standards information, and other special requirements, etc. The user is then guided through a resin selection process based upon the input data. Bid documents are also created. The specifications and documents are delivered to the user via email in rich text format (.rtf), which enables the user to make any final changes or revisions. Not only does this website enable engineers who are new to FRP technology to create good FRP equipment specifications, it enables FRP fabricators to bid projects better by providing clarity in what is required by the buyer. And, it helps the purchasing agent evaluate competitive bids by allowing an “apples-to-apples” comparison of bids. All of these benefits serve to improve the quality of FRP tanks and towers and advance FRP technology. An Appendix contains a description of system and the procedures to develop a unique set of project specific equipment specifications for tanks, piping, ducting, or other generic FRP equipment.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract When a project finally reaches the bidding stage, many of the owner's questions and concerns regarding the project's outcome have been considered. However, given the ongoing effort to continually extend every assets useful service life, one important question that gets asked more and more is “How long is my coating system going to last?” Unfortunately, the response an owner may receive can too often be delivered by an unqualified individual, be based on unknown or unreliable service environment information, or even worse yet, be given as a best guess. This paper offers a more reliable approach to providing an owner or specifier with a true anticipated service life for a protective coating system based on evaluating service life conditions, choosing appropriate industry standard surface preparation methods and selecting the proper material chemistries for a given service environment. Differing scenarios will be offered to provide real life examples.

Full text
Abstract:
Fruit quality is determined by numerous genetic factors that affect taste, aroma, ‎color, texture, nutritional value and shelf life. To unravel the genetic components ‎involved in the metabolic pathways behind these traits, the major goal of the project was to identify novel genes that are involved in, or that regulate, these pathways using correlation analysis between genotype, metabolite and gene expression data. The original and specific research objectives were: (1) Collection of replicated fruit from a population of 96 RI lines derived from parents distinguished by great diversity in fruit development and quality phenotypes, (2) Phenotypic and metabolic profiling of mature fruit from all 96 RI lines and their parents, (3) 454 pyrosequencing of cDNA representing mRNA of mature fruit from each line to facilitate gene expression analysis based on relative EST abundance, (4) Development of a database modeled after an existing database developed for tomato introgression lines (ILs) to facilitate online data analysis by members of this project and by researchers around the world. The main functions of the database will be to store and present metabolite and gene expression data so that correlations can be drawn between variation in target traits or metabolites across the RI population members and variation in gene expression to identify candidate genes which may impact phenotypic and chemical traits of interest, (5) Selection of RI lines for segregation and/or hybridization (crosses) analysis to ascertain whether or not genes associated with traits through gene expression/metabolite correlation analysis are indeed contributors to said traits. The overall research strategy was to utilize an available recombinant inbred population of melon (Cucumis melo L.) derived from phenotypically diverse parents and for which over 800 molecular markers have been mapped for the association of metabolic trait and gene expression QTLs. Transcriptomic data were obtained by high throughput sequencing using the Illumina platform instead of the originally planned 454 platform. The change was due to the fast advancement and proven advantages of the Illumina platform, as explained in the first annual scientific report. Metabolic data were collected using both targeted (sugars, organic acids, carotenoids) and non-targeted metabolomics analysis methodologies. Genes whose expression patterns were associated with variation of particular metabolites or fruit quality traits represent candidates for the molecular mechanisms that underlie them. Candidate genes that may encode enzymes catalyzingbiosynthetic steps in the production of volatile compounds of interest, downstream catabolic processes of aromatic amino acids and regulatory genes were selected and are in the process of functional analyses. Several of these are genes represent unanticipated effectors of compound accumulation that could not be identified using traditional approaches. According to the original plan, the Cucurbit Genomics Network (http://www.icugi.org/), developed through an earlier BARD project (IS-3333-02), was expanded to serve as a public portal for the extensive metabolomics and transcriptomic data resulting from the current project. Importantly, this database was also expanded to include genomic and metabolomic resources of all the cucurbit crops, including genomes of cucumber and watermelon, EST collections, genetic maps, metabolite data and additional information. In addition, the database provides tools enabling researchers to identify genes, the expression patterns of which correlate with traits of interest. The project has significantly expanded the existing EST resource for melon and provides new molecular tools for marker-assisted selection. This information will be opened to the public by the end of 2013, upon the first publication describing the transcriptomic and metabolomics resources developed through the project. In addition, well-characterized RI lines are available to enable targeted breeding for genes of interest. Segregation of the RI lines for specific metabolites of interest has been shown, demonstrating the utility in these lines and our new molecular and metabolic data as a basis for selection targeting specific flavor, quality, nutritional and/or defensive compounds. To summarize, all the specific goals of the project have been achieved and in many cases exceeded. Large scale trascriptomic and metabolomic resources have been developed for melon and will soon become available to the community. The usefulness of these has been validated. A number of novel genes involved in fruit ripening have been selected and are currently being functionally analyzed. We thus fully addressed our obligations to the project. In our view, however, the potential value of the project outcomes as ultimately manifested may be far greater than originally anticipated. The resources developed and expanded under this project, and the tools created for using them will enable us, and others, to continue to employ resulting data and discoveries in future studies with benefits both in basic and applied agricultural - scientific research.

Abstract:
NIST work developed processes to identify the stress/strain/crack velocity conditions for unstable high-rate ductile crack propagation found in a full-scale pipeline burst test and duplicate those conditions in a medium-scale test. With modeling to validate conditions and assumptions used in reducing the scale of the tests. A medium-scale test to elucidate material property data necessary to qualify high-strength high-toughness steels based on the correlation to large-scale tests. Parametric determination of the material properties governing fracture propagation or arrest-ability was developed. This will assist researchers to determine a relevant and effective small-scale test (or tests) that provides enough information for material selection, design, reliability, as well as integrity and risk assessment. Pipe evaluated includes API5L X70 and X80 pipe. The strain was measured by a three-dimensional digital image correlation system. This project takes a phased approach with complementary research in successive phases beginning with a road map to systematically fill gaps in knowledge and understanding of the problem of unstable high-rate ductile running failures in pipelines. This report is structured to highlight the problem statement with respect to the current state of the art understanding, define knowledge gaps and present the plan, and progress toward meeting the objective. The following sections specifically cover the effort to develop and inform a constitutive material model necessary for the structural model of the medium-scale test. The material testing required to inform the constitutive material model is presented. Conclusions of this phase of the project are also presented in addition to the proposed work in Phase III of the project.

Abstract:
Background: Genomics tools for enhancement of melon research, with an emphasis on fruit, were developed through a previous BARD project of the PIs (IS -333-02). These included the first public melon EST collection, a database to relay this information to the research community and a publicly available microarray. The current project (IS-3877- 06) aimed to apply these tools for identification of important genes for improvement of melon (Cucumis melo) fruit quality. Specifically, the research plans included expression analysis using the microarray and functional analyses of selected genes. The original project objectives, as they appeared in the approved project, were: Objective 1: Utilization of a public melon microarray developed under the existing project to characterize melon transcriptome activity during the ripening of normal melon fruit (cv. Galia) in order to provide a basis for both a general view of melon transcriptome activity during ripening and for comparison with existing transcriptome data of developing tomato and pepper fruit. Objective 2: Utilization of the same public melon microarray to characterize melon transcriptome activity in lines available in the collection of the Israeli group, focusing on sugar, organic acids and aroma metabolism, so as to identify potentially useful candidates for functional analysis and possible manipulation, through comparison with the general fruit development profile resulting from (1) above. Objective 3: Expansion of our existing melon EST database to include publicly available gene expression data and query tools, as the US group has done with tomato. Objective 4: Selection of 6-8 candidate genes for functional analysis and development of DNA constructs for repression or over-expression. Objective 5: Creation of transgenic melon lines, or transgenic heterologous systems (e.g. E. coli or tomato), to assess putative functions and potential as tools for molecular enhancement of melon fruit quality, using the candidate gene constructs from (4).

Full text
Abstract:
Objectives: (1) Evaluate Immunocompetence-OTL-containing Chromosomal Regions (ICRs), marked by microsatellites or candidate genes, for magnitude of direct effect and for contribution to relationships among multiple immunocompetence, disease-resistance, and growth traits, in order to estimate epistatic and pleiotropic effects and to predict the potential breeding applications of such markers. (2) Evaluate the interaction of the ICRs with genetic backgrounds from multiple sources and of multiple levels of genetic variation, in order to predict the general applicability of molecular genetic markers across widely varied populations. Background: Diseases cause substantial economic losses to animal producers. Emerging pathogens, vaccine failures and intense management systems increase the impact of diseases on animal production. Moreover, zoonotic pathogens are a threat to human food safety when microbiological contamination of animal products occurs. Consumers are increasingly concerned about drug residues and antibiotic- resistant pathogens derived from animal products. The project used contemporary scientific technologies to investigate the genetics of chicken resistance to infectious disease. Genetic enhancement of the innate resistance of chicken populations provides a sustainable and ecologically sound approach to reduce microbial loads in agricultural populations. In turn, animals will be produced more efficiently with less need for drug treatment and will pose less of a potential food-safety hazard. Major achievements, conclusions and implications:. The PI and co-PIs had developed a refined research plan, aiming at the original but more focused objectives, that could be well-accomplished with the reduced awarded support. The successful conduct of that research over the past four years has yielded substantial new information about the genes and genetic markers that are associated with response to two important poultry pathogens, Salmonella enteritidis (SE) and Escherichia coli (EC), about variation of immunocompetence genes in poultry, about relationships of traits of immune response and production, and about interaction of genes with environment and with other genes and genetic background. The current BARD work has generated a base of knowledge and expertise regarding the genetic variation underlying the traits of immunocompetence and disease resistance. In addition, unique genetic resource populations of chickens have been established in the course of the current project, and they are essential for continued projects. The US laboratory has made considerable progress in studies of the genetics of resistance to SE. Microsatellite-marked chromosomal regions and several specific genes were linked to SE vaccine response or bacterial burden and the important phenomenon of gene interaction was identified in this system. In total, these studies demonstrate the role of genetics in SE response, the utility of the existing resource population, and the expertise of the research group in conducting such experiments. The Israeli laboratories had showed that the lines developed by selection for high or low level of antibody (Ab) response to EC differ similarly in Ab response to several other viral and bacterial pathogens, indicating the existence of a genetic control of general capacity of Ab response in young broilers. It was also found that the 10w-Ab line has developed, possibly via compensatory "natural" selection, higher cellular immune response. At the DNA levels, markers supposedly linked to immune response were identified, as well as SNP in the MHC, a candidate gene responsible for genetic differences in immunocompetence of chickens.
