Abstract:

Reflective cracking is a major and costly problem in many countries. It occurs in the top (overlay) layers above existing cracks in the lower (existing) pavement. This type of cracking can lead to premature deterioration of the pavement structure through the infiltration of moisture and debris. Although extensive research has been directed toward mitigation of the problem, work needs to be done, as it still appears to be a major problem. The problem is related in part to the fact that most of the work being done involves rehabilitation. One of the most common types of pavement rehabilitation i

Purpose This paper aims to contend that the circle of investigation into overruns cannot be complete unless the established critical failure factors are matched against their respective mitigating measures to avert the overruns.

The constraint is the lack of a scientific approach in establishing a tackling mechanism to address the root causes and stakeholder responsibilities.

Abstract:

Abstract Methane has been controlled in collieries in the past only for safety and statutory compliance reasons; however concerns over greenhouse gas emissions mean that this is now changing. About 65% of greenhouse emissions associated with underground coal mining come from ventilation air methane (VAM). The machinery to mitigate these fugitive emissions once the VAM exits the mine fans is expensive, has safety concerns and is not widely used at present. Consider these factors; more collieries are mining lower seams, methane content increases with depth, VAM mitigation plants are not widely u

Construction time and cost are basic parameters for measuring project performance. Unfortunately, construction projects are facing poor time and cost performance globally. This poor performance is occurred due to several factors among which resource related factors play very important role. Hence, it is very essential to control the factors affecting performance of time and cost. This study assessed significance level of the resource related factors and determined effective measure to mitigate the factors.

Purpose IT-enabled service offshoring has become a vital and widespread practice for firms seeking to realize various advantages. However, many firms suffer from “hidden costs” (the discrepancies between the expected and actual costs of offshoring), and these firms often find a disappointing outcome from their offshoring decisions. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether and how the adoption of an offshoring strategy can reduce such hidden costs and how this effect can be moderated by contextual factors, including the complexity of tasks and the accumulation of experience.

The farm model also has the potential to produce four different crops on six different land types.

Abstract:

Since 2011, beach nourishment has become the preferred solution for mitigating coastal erosion along the Mediterranean coast of Israel, as it is considered “soft” and environmentally friendly. However, using fine sand for nourishment in Israel without supporting measures is problematic due to the high wave energy and strong longshore currents in the littoral zone that tend to drift the sand away. This would require ongoing, multiyear, costly, and never-ending maintenance. In the present study, we analyzed sand and pebble alternatives for nourishment of the eroded beach in front of Tel Ashkelon

Mitigating, or abating, greenhouse gases (GHG) from livestock systems can play a vital role in providing solutions to the UK’s climate change obligations. The main abatement options from the livestock sector, independent of grazing/pasture management, are through the efficiencies with which ruminant animals utilise their diet and manure management. Options include breed selection, through manipulation of dietary regimes or manure storage strategies. Attempts to abate GHG emissions should first target those abatement options that are cost efficient and this study estimates the cost effectivenes

Abstract:

AbstractThis study tests the prevalence of choice overload (CO) in the U.S. beer market. We reveal that even if CO exists, sellers have mechanisms to reduce CO's negative consequences. The article describes the implementation of search cost-reducing private nudges (i.e., product quality scores and prominently listed specials) sellers commonly utilize to minimize CO's negative consequences. Our results suggest that, while CO exists for some buyers, it can be eliminated by market interactions on the part of the seller. (JEL Classifications: C93, D03, Q13)

Abstract:

As sea level rise grows in importance as a public policy issue, coastal communities must search for alternative strategies to develop resilience to the growing threat. One way to tap into existing resources involves partnerships between local governments and citizen-based environmental organizations to explore strategies aimed at mitigating the effects of sea level rise and recurrent flooding in coastal communities. This article presents two cases of collaboration between governments and existing citizen groups in a region among the most threatened by sea level rise in the continental United S
