<p><em>Along with the development of Information Technology, computers and their use in everyday life are used to process data into information. One of the important programs that a computer user must have and control is Microsoft Office. As the name implies, this program can help to do data processing work more easily. In Microsoft Office there are many types of programs that can be used, for example Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. Microsoft Word is a program that is very important in everyday life. This program is a word processing program that includes creating, editing and formatting documents. Meanwhile, Microsoft Excel is a program designed to perform number processing. The Unindra community service team will carry out community service activities at the Domyadhu Foundation in the Ciputat branch by providing training on the use of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. By conducting this training, it is hoped that it can improve knowledge on the use of Microsofot Word and Microsoft Excel for younger siblings at the Foundation.</em></p>

This research presents the analysis of image of the popular program packages: CAS (Computer Algebra Systems) Matlab, Mathcad, Mathematica, and the spreadsheet ‘Microsoft Excel’ among students of engineering specializations studying in Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU). The research has explored perception of program packages by all students (N=164), and by male students (N=110) and female students (N=54) separately. Image of the program packages, convenience of their interfaces, usage scenarios, and applicability for solution of tasks of certain types have been explored via questioning the students. Moreover, the students assessed likelihood of using the programs in the future. It was established that all the program packages under consideration can be successfully used in the process of education, but some of them (Matlab and Mathematica) require additional lessons to learn their interface and peculiarities. Gender differences in perception of the program packages do not determine the education outcomes. The differences of perception of the programs are mainly caused by their popularity and the students’ skills of using certain programs. The following gender differences have been detected: in the female students’ sample, the programs Mathcad and Excel are leading, Matlab is performed a little worse; Matlab is associated with the statement “difficult / inconvenient interface”. In the male students’ sample, the three programs Matlab, Mathcad, and Microsoft Excel got nearly equal grades. Female students estimate future usage of Microsoft Excel higher than male students do. The CAS Mathematica takes the lowest places for both samples; as a possible cause of such result, it has been found that Mathematica is not widespread as compared to the other programs under consideration. Keywords: computer algebra system, education statistics, engineering education, mathematical education, Mathcad, Mathematica, Matlab, Microsoft Excel.

Education at the Vocational High School (SMK) level is an important alternative for students to develop their skills and be ready to face competition in an increasingly competitive job market. SMK graduates have technical skills and are ready to enter work sectors related to procedures and routines. In Riau Province, the upstream oil and gas industry provides opportunities for SMK graduates to participate in this sector. SMK Migas in Duri City and Dumai City were established to prepare students for positive contributions to the oil and gas industry around the region. The development of technology, especially in the field of information technology, encourages the industry to apply the technology in every aspect of its operations. Modernization and digitalization also affect the oil and gas industry sector, which includes exploration and exploitation activities. The oil and gas industry requires reliable human resources (HR), given the density of capital and technology in this sector. However, companies tend to look for experienced workers, so SMK graduates need to have skills that can be directly used in the oil and gas industry. The transition to an increasingly advanced technological era requires SMK graduates to have the ability to adapt to technology, especially in the use of computers as a means of work and learning. Behave=adaptive Being able to operate the Microsoft Office program package is an important requirement for every individual who uses a computer, either in the form of a personal computer (PC) or laptop. Laptops are also the main device for freelance engineers in conducting engineering analysis from simple to complex.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes an implementation of an improved algorithm for solving nonlinear separable integer programming problems, as they arise in the field of system reliability. The reliability redundancy optimization solver (RROS) improves on a hybrid technique of dynamic programming with depth first search with tighter variable bounds. The implementation takes the form of an Excel add-in, which will be familiar to users with little formal OR/MS training. The user interface design is discussed. Example applications with benchmarks show that the RROS offers accurate solutions in a comparatively efficient way. This thesis further introduces a surrogate method to solve nonlinear problems with non-separable objectives, where a separable constraint is used as a surrogate objective. This is shown to yield solutions to a number of difficult cases.

Full textAbstract:
My thesis is to design a Controlled Area Network (CAN) simulator For Microsoft Windows. In a modern world we deal with complex mechanical systems that require special electronic control to guarantee ultimate safety and efficiency. These electronic control systems are responsible for monitoring subsystems within the mechanical systems. A good example of this is the motor vehicles that are being driven on the road today. These vehicles have been designed with increased safety and efficiency, such as electronic controlled anti lock breaks, fuel injection, and power control steering. To run all of these components, the car needs a very well designed protocol to be able to control series of messages being passed from one subsystem to another. To determine which message being passed has higher priority than any other messages. To deal with such circumstances, the Controlled Area Network (CAN) was designed. The purpose of the CAN simulator is to gather statistical information concerning the arbitration, message transfer, error detection, error signaling, and retransmision. The CAN simulating model will consist of one to sixty nodes. Each node is considered as a subsystem for the CAN simulator. The subsystems will be characterized as the breaks, engine, transmission, or any part of a car which needs to be connected to the CAN system. Each node will send one to ten messages through the CAN system. The CAN system will take the messages from the nodes and place them into an Arrival queue. Each node will have its own Arrival queue, and no nodes can have two messages on the bus at the same time. The messages will be sorted in the queues in the order of the time needed to be released onto the bus. There will be an internal clock that will monitor the time for when the messages are needed to be placed onto the bus. If there is a situation where two messages need to be sent at the same time, the arbitrator will determine the priority of the messages to be placed onto the bus. Once the message is on the bus, it will go to a transfer queue. Periodically, there will be an error signal sent with the message that will be detected by the error detection, and it will be required that the message to be retransmitted. At critical points on the simulation, statistical information will be gathered for an analyzation. Some examples of information to be analyzed are 1) verification of the simulation performance on a single node with a single message, 2) network load which is a rate of a utilized bus time to the total bus time, 3) network throughput which is a total number of messages that are transmitted per second, and 4) average response time which will be the average time taken by all messages to gain bus access.PLATFORM DESCRIPTIONThe computer to be used in this project will be an Intel Pentum 100 with 16 megs RAM, two 853 megabyte harddrive, and a 17 inch super VGA monitor. The user interface will be windows 3.1 application. The compiling language to be used will be Microsoft Visual C++.<br>Department of Computer Science

The aim of this study was to investigate the role Excel could play in influencing Mathematics and Mathematical literacy learners’ interpretation of functions and their attitude towards Mathematics. I used a Mathematical Graphical Diagnostic (MGD) test, an attitude questionnaire, a reflective questionnaire and semi-structured interviews as instruments. The MGD test and the attitude questionnaire were given to 72 volunteer grade 11 learners at a former Model C school in Port Elizabeth, in the Eastern Cape. This group included 50 pure Mathematics learners and 22 Mathematical literacy learners. From this group, a smaller group of 10 learners further took part in the rest of the study were they went through an intervention were Excel was used as a teaching tool, covering concepts concerning functions. This group included 6 pure Mathematics and 4 Mathematical literacy learners. The 10 learners then re-wrote the MDG test and refilled the attitude questionnaire after the intervention. A reflective questionnaire was administered to the 10 learners after the intervention, with 5 learners from the 10 undergoing interviews in order to meet the objectives of the study. The administration of the MDG test and attitude questionnaire, interviews and reflective questionnaire enabled me to explore the relationship between learner performance and their attitude towards Mathematics as a subject, as well as the comparing the attitudes and performances between pure Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy learners. The study followed a qualitative research design, with an element of quantitative research. The qualitative data yielded findings that revealed the effectiveness of using Excel in teaching functions while the quantitative data revealed the difference in attitude and ability between pure Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy leaners. The findings of the study revealed that Excel played a major role in improving pure Mathematics learners’ results but not those of the Mathematical Literacy learners. The study also showed that technology does not necessarily impact on learners’ attitudes positively.

Full textAbstract:
With the rapid development of wireless technologies, traditional mobile devices, such as pagers and cellular phones, have evolved from a purely communications and messaging-oriented medium to one that supports mobile data communication in general and acts as an application platform. As shown in a recent survey conducted by MDA, easy access to the present-day wireless Internet has resulted in mobile devices gaining more and more attention and popularity. The growth of and demand for mobile Web applications is expected to increase rapidly in the near future, as a range of software companies and mobile device manufacturers release increasingly accessible tools for creating mobile Web application and services. From a variety of possible development environments of this kind, the author has selected and examined two leading contenders, the J2ME and the Microsoft .NET mobile Web application development environments. This document reports the product life cycle of pilot mobile web applications, designed and implemented in each host environment in tum. A feature-by-feature investigation and comparison of the J2ME and .NET environments was carried out, covering the range of issues necessary for a complete mobile Web application development life cycle. The resulting analysis addresses features and efficiencies of the application development environment and the target deployment environment, the degree to which the resultant services are compatible on a variety of platforms, and the ease with which applications can be designed to be extensible. The thesis offers an objective evaluation of the J2ME and the .NET mobile development environments, which highlights their strengths and weaknesses, and suggests guidelines for designing, creating, and deploying high quality mobile Web applications. The research uncovers no clear winner across all categories assessed. J2ME currently favours situations in which bandwidth is limited and client side processing power is relatively sufficient, it exerts the processing power of mobile devices over distributed network environments. .NET requires a less constrained network throughput, but performs adequately on clients with more limited processing power, supports a more diverse target platform range, and offers a more efficient, in terms of development time, development environment. Both technologies are likely to receive significant user support for some time.<br>KMBT_363<br>Adobe Acrobat 9.54 Paper Capture Plug-in

Full textAbstract:
AbstractChecking satisfiability of formulae in the theory of linear arithmetic has far reaching applications, including program verification and synthesis. Many satisfiability solvers excel at proving and disproving satisfiability of quantifier-free linear arithmetic formulas and have recently begun to support quantified formulas. Beyond simply checking satisfiability of formulas, fine-grained strategies for satisfiability games enables solving additional program verification and synthesis tasks. Quantified satisfiability games are played between two players—SAT and UNSAT—who take turns instantiating quantifiers and choosing branches of boolean connectives to evaluate the given formula. A winning strategy for SAT (resp. UNSAT) determines the choices of SAT (resp. UNSAT) as a function of UNSAT ’s (resp. SAT ’s) choices such that the given formula evaluates to true (resp. false) no matter what choices UNSAT (resp. SAT) may make. As we are interested in both checking satisfiability and synthesizing winning strategies, we must avoid conversion to normal-forms that alter the game semantics of the formula (e.g. prenex normal form). We present fine-grained strategy improvement and strategy synthesis, the first technique capable of synthesizing winning fine-grained strategies for linear arithmetic satisfiability games, which may be used in higher-level applications. We experimentally evaluate our technique and find it performs favorably compared with state-of-the-art solvers.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBounded Model Checking (BMC) is a popularly used strategy for program verification and it has been explored extensively over the past decade. Despite such a long history, BMC still faces scalability challenges as programs continue to grow larger and more complex. One approach that has proven to be effective in verifying large programs is called Counterexample Guided Abstraction Refinement (CEGAR). In this work, we propose a complementary approach to CEGAR for bounded model checking of sequential programs: in contrast to CEGAR, our algorithm gradually widens underapproximations of a program, guided by the proofs of unsatisfiability. We implemented our ideas in a tool called Legion. We compare the performance of Legion against that of Corral, a state-of-the-art verifier from Microsoft, that utilizes the CEGAR strategy. We conduct our experiments on 727 Windows and Linux device driver benchmarks. We find that Legion is able to solve 12% more instances than Corral and that Legion exhibits a complementary behavior to that of Corral. Motivated by this, we also build a portfolio verifier, $$\textsc {Legion}^{+}$$ L E G I O N + , that attempts to draw the best of Legion and Corral. Our portfolio, $$\textsc {Legion}^{+}$$ L E G I O N + , solves 15% more benchmarks than Corral with similar computational resource constraints (i.e. each verifier in the portfolio is run with a time budget that is half of the time budget of Corral). Moreover, it is found to be $$2.9\times $$ 2.9 × faster than Corral on benchmarks that are solved by both Corral and $$\textsc {Legion}^{+}$$ L E G I O N + .

Full textAbstract:
Computer task performance is an essential driver of end user productivity. Recent research indicates that computer self-efficacy (CSE) is an important determinant of computer task performance. Contrary to the significant interest in understanding the role of CSE in predicting computer task performance, little attention has been given to understanding the role of personal goal (PG), which can be as powerful as or more powerful than CSE in predicting and determining computer task performance. Employing CSE and PG, the present research develops and validates a theoretical model that predicts individual computer task performance. The model was tested using PLS on data from an intensive software (Microsoft Excel) training program, in which 41 MBA students participated. Results largely support the theorized relationships of the proposed model and provide important insights into how individual motivational beliefs influence computer skill acquisition and task performance. Implications are drawn for future research and practice.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most important aspects of the livestock sector is ration cost optimization, which results in profit and ideal animal health. Manually preparing rations is time consuming and unsafe. Whereas computers can quickly formulate a ration that meets all of the nutritional requirements, after giving standard data on feeds. However, the existence of the ideal computer programme is questionable; if it exists, it is more expensive, less user-friendly, exclude local feeds, be limited to a particular region/country, feed composition may differ. As a result, in this chapter, the user will learn how to create and develop a self-made least-cost ration formulation using the locally available feeds, so that user may easily build their computer Programme using Visual Basic application of Microsoft Excel. There are three phases to ration formulation for any animal (ruminant or non-ruminant). The first phase requires the user to know the available feeds and their nutrient composition. The second part involves determining which nutrients are important for animals and creating nutrient equations. The third phase involves the creation of a linear programming model. Finally, the interface is being designed. Each phase is thoroughly explained in excel, with suitable data and reference coding.

Full textAbstract:
The programs for estimating the decommissioning cost have been developed for many different purposes and applications. The estimation of decommissioning cost is required a large amount of data such as unit cost factors, plant area and its inventory, waste treatment, etc. These make it difficult to use manual calculation or typical spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel. The cost estimation for eventual decommissioning of nuclear power plants is a prerequisite for safe, timely and cost-effective decommissioning. To estimate the decommissioning cost more accurately and systematically, KHNP, Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co. Ltd, developed a decommissioning cost estimating computer program called “DeCAT-Pro”, which is Decommissioning Cost Assessment Tool – Professional. (Hereinafter called “DeCAT”) This program allows users to easily assess the decommissioning cost with various decommissioning options. Also, this program provides detailed reporting for decommissioning funding requirements as well as providing detail project schedules, cash-flow, staffing plan and levels, and waste volumes by waste classifications and types. KHNP is planning to implement functions for estimating the plant inventory using 3-D technology and for classifying the conditions of radwaste disposal and transportation automatically.

Most thermal engineers will model and analyze thermal engineering cases, using any of the numerous thermal analysis software, available in the market. These commercial software need years of continuous use to be fully mastered. Large companies can afford to acquire expensive software available in the market and train their engineers; but small companies do not have the financial means to acquire such expensive software. Thus for modeling and analysis, small companies or private practice need a different alternative. Excel is one of the programs that come with Microsoft Office suite of software, which is installed on any purchased computer. Most users of Microsoft office are proficient in using Word, and can use Excel as a spread sheet to speed up calculations. Technical personnel can easily use the charting capability of Excel, but very few engineers can use Excel for intensive Numerical Analysis. Engineers should be able to use the available inexpensive Excel software to perform numerical analysis at their work place. In this article three Heat Transfer Numerical cases using Microsoft Excel are discussed in detail. the first case is two dimensional steady state heat transfer with different isothermal boundary conditions. The second shows other boundary conditions: uniform heat flux, adiabatic, and convection. The third case is transient conditions. The results from the three cases are compared with results from Patran Thermal software.

Full textAbstract:
The spreadsheets of Microsoft Excel are important tools for the teaching the relativistic mechanics. In this work, efforts have been made to generate spreadsheets for Lorentz transformations and comparison of Lorentz and Galilei transformations of relativistic mechanics. Spreadsheet programs are very useful tools in teaching in relativistic mechanics. One of the main advantages is that students can interfere with the program. The graphical capabilities of spreadsheets give the method a visual feel and allow easy comparisons between exact and numerical solutions. This tool contributes to the enhancing the motivation in the study of the relativistic mechanics. It is hoped that the ideas expressed in this work will serve at a catalyst for further research and investigation into the use of conditional formatting for physics education. Students and teachers should be provided with computer facilities fully loaded with the latest versions of spreadsheets. The aim is to improve interaction with the computer with easy access to spreadsheet packages. Spreadsheets had become entrenched in relativistic mechanics, driven by the demands of end users for tools to help them in performing analysis tasks. In this work, we support that the spreadsheets of Microsoft Excel may be used as an alternative instructional tool, in order to help students confront their cognitive constraints and develop functional understanding of physics. Thus, the spreadsheet is an accessible and easy to use resource, without mentioning the fact that a great part of the students already know how to use it. Even considering its limitations, the spreadsheet is the resource that offers the best cost-benefit in terms of didactic resources.

Full textAbstract:
Predicted wheel performance is an invaluable tool in developing new components such as wheel profiles and truck components and also in understanding and controlling wheel and rail wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF). This paper outlines a vehicle dynamics trial using VAMPIRE Pro to compare the predicted wear and RCF performance of the WRISA2 wheel profile developed by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and the United Kingdom P8 wheel profile using measured wheel profiles from an in-service trial. WRISA2 and P8 profiles were fitted to two passenger trains running in normal service. Wheel profiles were measured every 10,000 miles. These measured profiles were used to predict wear and RCF damage for each wheel of the investigated rail vehicle, using a combination of VAMPIRE transient analysis and another program called the “Whole Life Rail Model” (WLRM). This process was repeated up to 190,000 miles run in service, allowing a clear comparison of the changing rail wear and RCF performance of the two profiles up to this mileage. This process was automated using new features within VAMPIRE that allow communication to 3rd party computer programs including the WLRM, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Visual Basic. This research process presents itself to be a very useful tool in predicting wheel wear performance for any number of new wheel and truck components.

Full textAbstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The analysis presented in this document demonstrates the mathematical model approach for determining the rotation of a door about the hinge axis. Additional results from the model are the torque due to gravity about the axis, opening force, and the door hold open check link force. Vector mechanics, equations of a plane, and parametric equations were utilized to develop this model, which only requires coordinate points as inputs. This model allows for various hinge axis angles and door rotation angles to quickly be analyzed. Vehicle pitch and roll angles may also be input along with door mass to determine the torque about the hinge axis. The vector calculations to determine the moment arm of the door check link and its resulting force are demonstrated for both a standard check link design and an alternate check link design that has the link connected to a slider translated along a shaft. This math model may be implemented using commonly available programs such as Microsoft Excel VBA or MATLAB. This paper will showcase some inputs and results from the calculations that were coded into Excel VBA. To validate the model’s accuracy, computer-aided design (CAD) software NX was employed to confirm the rotation points determined by the model. It is shown that the coded program results for the door check link moment arm (perpendicular distance between the hinge axis and the line of action of the check link) match the dimensions measured in NX after rotating the input points in the CAD file. Torque measurements were also taken on the vehicle at various pitch and roll angles to confirm the calculation for torque.</div></div>

Full textAbstract:
JAI has developed a simple computer program for use in determining a preliminary estimate of costs for transporting spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste by legal weight truck or by rail. The JAI Corporation Spent Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste Transportation Cost Model © is a Microsoft Excel 2000-based collection of spreadsheets. Both the truck and rail sub-models consist of three spreadsheets, or modules — as follows: • The “Input” spreadsheet accepts the user’s inputs (the user’s configuration of the transportation scenario to be modeled); • The “Cost Calculations” spreadsheet lists cost components and associated calculations; • The “Results” spreadsheet summarized the calculated transportation costs. The program does not calculate costs between two specific points, but rather over a specific distance. The individual inputs required can be entered by the user — or the user can accept the default values built into the program. The input to the program is divided into the following elements: 1. Scenario configuration; 2. Financial assumptions; 3. Capital-related costs; 4. Operating costs; 5. Freight-related costs; 6. Security-related costs. The rail portion of the program also permits the calculation of the cost of heavy haul and barge transport. The cost calculation spreadsheet contains all the algorithms used for calculating each element of cost and summing them — and the results spreadsheet shows the separate cost of capital, operations, freight, security and miscellaneous costs, plus the total cost for the shipment(s). The program offers an easy way for obtaining preliminary estimates of the cost of transporting spent fuel or high-level radioactive waste, and a way to quickly estimate the sensitivity of transport costs to changes in conditions or shipping scenarios.

iSIGHT-FD manages the computer software required to execute simulation-based design processes, including commercial CAD/CAE software, internally developed programs, and Excel spreadsheets. The software enables the rapid integration of these programs and automates their execution to accelerate the evaluation of many more design alternatives. It provides design exploration and optimization technology to help the user find better designs than those that can be found manually. Inside of this framework, a set of interoperable CAD and CAE components is used to define how changes in the geometry affect the product performance. In the past year Engineous worked with several of its partners to create a seamless and automated process. We will illustrate how to setup and drive geometric changes in CAD models using the translation technologies component in iSIGHT-FD. The user can set loads & boundary conditions on the part/assembly that move with the geometric modifications. The changed geometry with loads & boundary conditions can be automatically meshed and analyzed with FEM solvers and pre/postprocessors. The user is allowed to store and view parametric and non-parametric results for every run. These 3D CAE & CAD results can then be easily embedded into Microsoft office.

Abstract In the past decade, sophisticated mathematical, statistical and graphical routines have been added to spreadsheet packages, thus converting them to serious analytical tools. The engineering community has adopted these packages to perform various sensitivity analyses on design problems which lend themselves to these types of applications. Design engineers can now rapidly and conveniently utilize these tools to perform a wide variety of analyses on design problems having simple geometries and loading conditions, without having to develop any FORTRAN, Basic or C code. This paper is concerned with the applications of spreadsheet packages in the area of steady and transient thermal analysis, design optimization and solution of initial-value differential equations. Lotus 1-2-3 in conjunction with the explicit finite difference method (Gauss-Seidel method) has been used to predict transient temperature distribution in an axi-symmetric model of the barrel of a handgun. Borland International Quattro Pro spreadsheet program along with Runge-Kutta and Newmark numerical integration techniques have been employed to optimally design the recoil system of a handgun. Also, the use of Quattro Pro for constructing the contour plots of temperature in a Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) chip and the IBM 3081 TCM cold plate are demonstrated. Finally, the built-in Error and Bessel functions in Microsoft Excel have been used to find temperature distribution in a semi-infinite and cylindrical objects.

Full textAbstract:
In today's fast and busy way of life, the lifestyle of students is often a common theme on which we spend insufficient attention. This can often have consequences for both mental and physical health. Recently, many programs have been created to encourage students to live a healthy lifestyle, which has a positive effect on their health. However, it is solely the decision of the individual, whether he will participate in the mentioned programs or not. In many cases, lifestyle is also influenced by the schedule and requirements of a certain study, and thus the adjustment of free time. It is precisely because of the changes in schedules during the semester and during the exam period that students are forced to coordinate all their obligations very well in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle to a certain extent. The purpose of the article is to determine the lifestyle of students of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology University of Ljubljana (FKKT) and the Faculty of Computer and Information Science University of Ljubljana (FRI), who are included in the subject of Sports Education. We compared the lifestyle during the semester and during the exam period, mainly from the point of view of physical activity, sleeping and eating habits. We obtained the data with the help of a survey questionnaire, which was forwarded via the Internet, to male and female students who are included in the subject of Sports Education during the semester. We processed the data in the computer program SPSS and with Microsoft Excel. The findings show differences in the length of sleep and the number of daily meals between the time of the semester and the time of the exam period. We also find that students are more physically active during the semester, and we also include activity during pedagogic hours in the subject of Sport Education at the faculty. We find that the more physically active students are, the more often they eat breakfast, which applies to the semester and to the exam period.

Full textAbstract:
This study reviewed the state of the art and practice in bridge element deterioration / improvement modeling. It also developed a new and practical method for such modeling using element quantities in BrM inspection records along with bridge age. For reliable forecasting, this method uses these quantities directly to determine transition probability matrices (TPMs). The example TPMs were found age-dependent for the do-nothing case. Results show that this approach is effective in forecasting the bridge element life. Condition improvement TPMs were also similarly derived from the quantity evolution for consistency. Examples of renewal construction work are deck overlay of micro-silica concrete, steel beam repainting, bridge cleaning, etc. Two computer software programs in Microsoft Excel were developed to obtain TPMs for do-nothing deterioration and condition improvement. Bridge owners may use the tools to generate TPMs for any element whose inspection records are provided. As a result, TPMs can be continuously updated whenever more inspections are performed and their records are included as input to the software programs. In addition, the software tools are transparent for the user to perform expert elicitation, especially when the inspection records are questionable or unavailable. Such activity can be informatively guided by the results from the software, as illustrated by two application examples in the delivered programs. This new concept and associated tools may be applied by other bridge owners using the BrM system. Two application examples for elements 12 and 107 in the programs can be readily transplanted to other states as a starting point for application of the research products herein. They show that the age-dependent TPM is able to realistically replicate deterioration for the do-nothing case, particularly the behavior of faster deterioration while aging. They also demonstrate that TPMs for different renewal construction work are able to contrast their effectiveness, such as micro-silica overlays vs. sealing for a concrete deck.

Full textAbstract:
Attention to mixed methods studies research has increased in recent years, particularly among funding agencies that increasingly require a mixed methods approach for program evaluation. At the same time, researchers operating within large-scale, rapid-turnaround research projects are faced with the reality that collection and analysis of large amounts of qualitative data typically require an intense amount of project resources and time. However, practical examples of efficiently collecting and handling high-quality qualitative data within these studies are limited. More examples are also needed of procedures for integrating the qualitative and quantitative strands of a study from design to interpretation in ways that can facilitate efficiencies. This paper provides a detailed description of the strategies used to collect and analyze qualitative data in what the research team believed to be an efficient, high-quality way within a team-based mixed methods evaluation study of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) high-school education. The research team employed an iterative approach to qualitative data analysis that combined matrix analyses with Microsoft Excel and the qualitative data analysis software program ATLAS.ti. This approach yielded a number of practical benefits. Selected preliminary results illustrate how this approach can simplify analysis and facilitate data integration.
