Question: Can collaboration techniques from another performance environment inspire Lean Construction theory? Purpose: The Norwegian football club Rosenborg BK (RBK) was a well-recognized force in European club football during its heyday in the 1990s. Led by the legendary coach Nils Arne Eggen, they regularly shocked Europe’s top teams with great results after implementing a successful philosophy based on collaboration. The importance of collaboration is well-emphasized in Lean Construction (LC) theory, but more discussion about creating a willingness and culture for collaboration seems to be lacking. Therefore, this conceptual paper suggests broadening the existing theory by presenting Nils Arne Eggen’s “Best Foot theory” principles through a new theoretical lens. The collaborative “Best Foot theory” is seen in an LC context and discussed with the “Five Big Ideas” from Lean Project Consulting, Inc. as the starting point. Research Method: A conceptual approach is used by analyzing already accessible data from another branch of knowledge and presenting it in a different context to offer another perspective to the current Lean Construction literature. Findings: A collaboration mindset that can inspire further development of the Lean Construction theory is proposed. Much of the current theory about collaboration in LC projects focus on collaborative contracts, systems, and approaches and fails to consider creating a collaborative culture among the performers. The “Five Big Ideas” are contemplating this, and the “Best Foot theory” adds more meat to the bones by giving successful practical examples for each idea. Limitations: This is a conceptual paper, and the practical applicability of the findings is not explored in a construction context. Implications: The “Best Foot theory” expands current LC theory by giving successful practical examples on how to create a culture where the practitioners in a performance group want to collaborate. Value for authors: The paper expands current theory on collaboration in LC. Keywords: Lean Construction, Collaboration, Culture, Trust Paper type: Full paper

Abstract Introduction/Objective Recent advances in research have shown clinical effectiveness when targeting the lower range of HER2 expression (ie, HER2-low) in patients with metastatic breast cancer. American Society for Clinical Pathology worked in collaboration with Q Synthesis to develop a peer-to-peer learning collaborative to proactively prepare pathologists for HER2-low. This CME project was supported by an educational grant from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP and Daiichi Sankyo Inc. Methods/Case Report 38 pathologists participated in the ASCP HER2 Breast Trailblazers. For foundational knowledge, learners completed online modules covering scientific updates on HER2-low. Through small-group, case- based discussions, learners reviewed operational challenges and opportunities to prepare for HER2-low. They applied this knowledge to lead projects at their own institutions focusing on the anticipated changes around HER2-low. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) The learners identified the following challenges and opportunities: Defining HER2-low: Several learners had heard misconceptions around the definition of HER2-low. Recent studies have defined HER2-low as IHC 1+ or IHC 2+ with ISH-negative. Interobserver concordance with IHC 0 vs 1+: Several learners discussed the challenges around interpreting IHC 0 vs 1+. They felt that some pathologists may need guided feedback to improve their diagnostic skills. Use of IHC vs. ISH: Several learners only performed ISH for HER2 testing on all breast cancer samples. If HER2-low emerges as a third category, they would need to return to IHC. Implications for non-metastatic breast cancer: Recent HER2-low studies have focused on patients with metastatic breast cancer. If HER2-low emerges as a third category, it is unclear whether this designation will also be used in patients who have early-stage breast cancer. Leadership As pathologists prepare for HER2-low, they have opportunities to lead projects to assess and improve IHC interobserver concordance, coach others on IHC interpretation, increase operational efficiency, strength communication skills, and build up the team by proactively anticipating challenges around HER2-low. Conclusion HER2-low breast cancer may be emerging as a new category. Through a peer-to-peer learning collaborative, pathologists identified ways to proactively prepare and demonstrate leadership so that cancer centers and laboratories may be ready to embrace a new paradigm of HER2 classification in breast cancer.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to reveal the underlying principles of knowledge processing in a new era of mass collaboration and provide an integrated guideline for organizational knowledge management (KM) based on identifying the gaps between the existing KM theories and emerging knowledge initiatives such as Web 2.0, Pro-Am, Crowdsourcing, as well as Open Innovation. Design/methodology/approach – This research mainly employs three types of research methodologies: Literature study was conducted to connect this study with conventional theories in KM and propose the main principles of Mass Collaborative Knowledge Management (MCKM). Object-oriented modeling was used for designing its interaction model. The case study method was employed to discuss the two typical practices carried out by Goldcorp Inc. as well as the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency. Findings – This paper proposes the novel KM paradigm called MCKM and also provides its main principles and the interaction model. First, it identifies the gaps between emerging practices and existing KM theories. Second, it embraces the long tails into the scope of organizational KM and extends the scope of prevailing KM studies. Third, it falls back on Pro-Ams to save the costs of and to reduce the risk to organizational KM as well. Fourth, it highlights the advantages of opening organizational internal knowledge and transforms the core beliefs in conventional KM. Finally, it classifies organizational knowledge into two types, domain knowledge and non-domain knowledge, and provides some managing policies, respectively. Practical implications – Introducing MCKM into organizational KM will not only enhance the organizational knowledge creation and sharing, but also help an organization build its open knowledge ecosystem. Originality/value – This is a paper to introduce a new direction of KM studies, which guides an organization to build an open knowledge ecosystem by implementing mass collaborations and taking advantages of the complementary advantages of men and machines in knowledge processing.

Abstract Introduction: Recent advances in research have shown clinical effectiveness when targeting the lower range of HER2 expression (ie, HER2-low) in patients with metastatic breast cancer. American Society for Clinical Pathology worked in collaboration with Q Synthesis to develop a peer-to-peer learning collaborative to proactively prepare pathologists for HER2-low and to discuss the clinical implications around this emerging classification. This CME project was supported by an educational grant from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP and Daiichi Sankyo Inc. Methods: ASCP launched a peer-to-peer (P2P) learning collaborative (HER2 Breast Trailblazers) where small groups of pathologists met to discuss some of the practical implications associated with HER2-low. 38 pathologists from a mix of academic and community settings participated in this CME program. For foundational knowledge, learners completed online modules covering scientific updates on HER2-low. Through small-group, case-based discussions, learners reviewed operational challenges and opportunities to prepare for HER2-low. They applied this knowledge to lead projects at their own institutions focusing on the anticipated changes around HER2-low. ASCP also launched a series of peer-led Twitter Chats that were designed to reach a broad audience and foster open dialogue about the emerging science of HER2-low breast cancer. This approach engaged Twitter users who were eager to share and disseminate the education to their colleagues. Twitter Chats provided peer-to-peer feedback regarding ways to navigate obstacles, barriers, and other challenges affecting HER2 testing in breast cancer. Results: The learners identified the following challenges and opportunities: Defining HER2-low: Several learners had heard misconceptions around the definition of HER2-low. Recent studies have defined HER2-low as IHC 1+ or IHC 2+ with ISH-negative. Interobserver concordance with IHC 0 vs 1+: Several learners discussed the challenges around interpreting IHC 0 vs 1+. They felt that some pathologists may need guided feedback to improve their diagnostic skills. Use of IHC vs. ISH: Several learners only performed ISH for HER2 testing on all breast cancer samples.

Conclusions: HER2-low breast cancer appears to be emerging as a new classification and pathologists need to be prepared to ensure accurate testing and interpretation. Through a peer-to-peer learning collaborative, pathologists identified ways to proactively prepare and demonstrate leadership so that cancer centers and laboratories may be ready to embrace a new paradigm of HER2 classification in breast cancer. A series of public Twitter Chats broadened this discussion and increased awareness among pathologists. Citation Format: Joseph Kim, Kellie Beumer, Melissa Kelly.

Diseases of cacao, Theobroma cacao, account for losses of more than 30% of the potential crop. These losses have caused a steady decline in production and a reduction in bean quality in almost all the cacao-producing areas in the world, especially in small-holder farms in Latin America and West Africa. The most significant diseases are witches' broom, caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa, which occurs mainly in South America; frosty pod rot, caused by M. roreri, which occurs mainly in Central and northern South America; and black pod disease, caused by several species of Phytophthora, which are distributed throughout the tropics. In view of the threat that these diseases pose to the sustainability of the cacao crop, Mars Inc. and their industry partners have funded collaborative research involving cacao research institutes and governmental and nongovernmental agencies. The objective of this global initiative is to develop short- to medium-term, low-cost, environmentally friendly disease-management strategies until disease tolerant varieties are widely available. These include good farming practices, biological control and the rational or minimal use of chemicals that could be used for integrated pest management (IPM). Farmer field schools are used to get these technologies to growers. This paper describes some of the key collaborative partners and projects that are underway in South America and West Africa.

6557 Background: Clinico-genomic data sharing is consistently identified by the global oncology community as a critical requirement to accelerate the discovery and development of new targeted therapies. However, lack of effective collaborative models, fragmented and lengthy legal contracting processes, paucity of funding, and inadequate technological platforms have historically been obstacles for effective data sharing. Methods: In 2015, 10 US academic medical centers (AMC) and Foundation Medicine Inc. (FMI) formed PMEC. Feasibility assessments included creation of a master agreement across sites and willingness to use a central IRB. Oversight and research steering committees were created within the consortium. Through a centralized, secure web-based platform, FoundationInsight, we combined and shared de-identified, harmonized comprehensive FoundationOne genomic profiling data. Research proposals mining this data warehouse are invited quarterly from participant AMCs and peer-reviewed; approved studies are executed at all sites. Results: All 10 AMCs collaborated to execute a master registry participation agreement, followed by a master IRB protocol (New England IRB # 120180008), subsequently approved by individual site IRBs. Since its launch, the PMEC database has grown, on average, 60% per year, to now house over 14,000 cases. The shared dataset covers all tumor types (most commonly lung [17.2%], gastrointestinal [13.8%] and breast [9.2%]), encompasses genomic alterations in >300 genes, and reports relevant supplementary data such as tumor mutation burden and microsatellite instability status. To date, 15 studies have been proposed and evaluated using this platform, with 2 projects currently approved and in progress. Conclusions: We demonstrated the feasibility of creating a collaborative academic consortium that facilitates data sharing and potential discovery efforts in oncology. Technology solutions can accelerate the ability of AMCs, in partnership with central labs, to share and harmonize data to advance precision medicine. This approach lays the groundwork for conducting prospective, biomarker-enriched clinical trials among participating AMCs.

The Fondation Strutt Foundation has taken on the conservation planning of the Strutt House as part of a P3 collaborative effort with the National Capital Commission (NCC). This paper will address three of the primary documents/data sets (documentary methodologies) being used on/for the Strutt House project. The Strutt House is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building and a significant example of Canadian modernist architecture. Stakeholder is a term often used in Architectural Projects reflecting an economic interest in success of the project. In conservation projects the stakeholder generally reflects social, cultural and/or economic interests in a given project. The Strutt House project has benefitted from stakeholders that have all been interested in the above, as well as the education of our future conservationists. The Strutt house was purchased from the architect’s daughter in 2010, and as part of the acquisition, a <i>Heritage Structure Report</i> was commissioned and produced by PTAH Consultants Inc., Architects. The report forms the first of the primary referenced documents of this paper, including: a comprehensive photographic record of existing conditions; and, a <i>building simulation model</i> of the house ‘as designed/built’. This HSR and the accompanying data/documents have been adopted as the basis of an evolving document in the development of the <i>Conservation Plan</i> including: additional heritage surveys and technologies; traditional drawings, photographic and video records; and, a series of workshops on the structural stabilization efforts, thermography scans, and smoke/blow-door (air pressure) testing. In 2016, Pierre Jouan, a Master’s thesis student from KU Leuvan, working with the Carleton University CIMS lab under the direction of Professor Mario Santana, and the FSF completed a <i>3-D scanning and photogrammetry</i> workshop on the Strutt House and created a building information model (BIM model) from the collected data. The three primary documentation processes being addressed in this paper are really a series of directed research or focussed investigations resulting in a collection of data sets resolved -or combined- into a document. They will assist in the development of the long-term Programming and Conservation Management Plan of the Strutt House.

AbstractIncreasingly, basic, translational, and clinical research has become more collaborative, resulting in multi-institutional studies that involve common approaches to a central question. For multi-institutional projects that involve recombinant or synthetic nucleic acids, Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) review is generally required at each separate site. Duplicative review may result in both administrative costs and delays, without evidence of increased safety or protections, and investigator frustration. To address these inefficiencies, IBC leaders drafted a collaborative IBC Reliance Authorization Agreement. The Agreement allows one or more institutions to cede IBC review to a reviewing IBC that accepts the responsibility. The ability to cede IBC review, and the ability to rely on one decision on behalf of all collaborating institutions for a given protocol, removes delays in approval of multi-center protocols, and collaborating principal investigators are able to focus on research rather than administrative tasks. In the process, we found promotion of this collaborative model led to stronger connections among institutions and among IBC members. The requirement for IBC member representation from the local community, however, limits its broader dissemination; we make several recommendations to mitigate this challenge.

A principal strategic goal of the RCMI Coordinating Center (RCMI-CC) is to improve the health of minority populations and to reduce ethnic and geographic disparities in health by coordinating the development and facilitating the implementation of clinical research across the RCMI Consortium. To more effectively spur inter-institutional collaborative research, the RCMI-CC supports a Clinical Research Pilot Projects Program for hypothesis-driven clinical research projects proposed by postdoctoral fellows, early-career faculty and/or early-stage investigators from two or more RCMI U54 Centers. The purpose of this brief report is to summarize the Science Speed Dating sessions to facilitate cross-site collaboration at the RCMI Investigator Development Core (IDC) Workshop, held in conjunction with the 2024 RCMI Consortium National Conference. RCMI investigators and IDC Directors from 20 RCMI U54 Centers participated in two rounds of highly interactive small-group presentations of research ideas and resource needs in search of new collaborative and mentoring partnerships. Workshop participants expressed a high level of satisfaction with the speed-networking format and strongly agreed that the workshop was beneficial to their professional-development goals.

Ce mémoire de thèse est réalisé dans le cadre du Projet International Linear Collider. Il porte sur l'étude d'un prototype de calorimètre électromagnétique auprès de la collaboration internationale CALICE. Le prototype a été soumis à plusieurs reprises à des faisceaux test au CERN, à DESY et à FNAL. L'auteur présente deux sujets d'études: une partie d'instrumentation concernant la résolution d'un problème des événements carrés découvert lors des prises des données en 2006 au CERN. Afin d'en expliquer l'origine et résoudre le problème dû à une phénomène de diaphonie entre les pixels périphériques et le guard ring qui entoure le capteur, deux études ont été faites: une étude de simulation en utilisant SILVACO et l'autre avec un banc test pour étudier plusieurs types de capteurs. La deuxième partie de cette thèse est une étude physique concernant l'identification des photons (électrons) en utilisant des estimateurs qui sont liés aux paramètres de la forme de la gerbe électromagnétique. Des données Monte Carlo ont été utilisés pour élaborer ces estimateurs, ensuite les utiliser pour des données réelles.

Previous issue date: 2009-02-04<br>This dissertation presents the technology within BIM and its implication in the architectural and engineering design process. Since the 60 s, aerospace and automotive industries have already revolutionized the way of project with the CAD, and manufacture with the assembly lines. In AEC, the CAD became BIM, a new way of project, build and manage, from conception till life cycle building. This brought a project and construction time reduction, cost and environmental impacts decrease foreseen in LEED and merged in BIM.<br>Este trabalho objetiva apresentar a tecnologia contida no BIM e suas implicações no processo de projeto da arquitetura e engenharia civil. A partir de 1960, as indústrias, aeronáutica e automotiva, já haviam revolucionado a forma de projetar com o CAD, e de fabricar com as linhas de montagem. Na Arquitetura, Engenharia e Construção, o CAD está evoluindo para o BIM (Building Information Modeling), uma forma de projetar, construir e gerenciar, da concepção ao habite-se, aplicável a todo o ciclo de vida da edificação. Dessa forma houve não só uma redução no tempo de projeto e construção, mas também em custos e impactos ambientais previstos em normas internacionais incorporadas ao BIM.

<p>Our world is becoming increasingly complex, and is rapidly changingwith distances being reduced. Societies today are also in atransition from traditional production industries to increasingreliance on communication, consumption, services and experience. Asone of these emerging ‘new industries’, tourism is part of thismovement. Globalisation also makes further development of tourismpossible through, amongst other things, the spreading of languages;the development of low-cost carriers; international monetary systems;telecommunications and other technological innovations. Tourismcontributes to the globalisation of society and at the same time is aproduct of it. This is confirmed by complexity theories that stressthe systematic and dynamic nature of globalisation and theinterdependence of the global and the local. Hence, in this thesis,it is argued that acknowledging the complexity of tourism isnecessary for understanding tourism development, and more knowledgeabout tourism also leads to greater knowledge of our society.</p><p>The main aim of this thesis is to understand the complexity of localand regional tourist destination development, by exploring social andcultural factors that influence this development. In order to fulfilthis aim, analysis has been conducted at three different levels:places, projects and people. More specifically, by examining placesand how they develop as destinations; investigating the structure of,and processes within, groups and networks important for destinationdevelopment and by exploring the roles, resources and attitudes ofenterprising people who are seen as key for development. The thesisis based on a research project including three studies of tourismdestinations and projects in Northern Sweden and Scotland.</p><p>The social and cultural factors connected to tourism development arein turn part of learning processes, which in this thesis are seen asfundamental mechanisms for processes of development. A frameworkcalled ‘Learning Destinations’ is introduced that demonstrates howimportant social and cultural factors manifest themselves at each ofthe three levels: places, projects and people. History and heritageand rationales are the main cultural factors discussed, whilstinteraction and boundaries are prominent social factors found toinfluence tourism development. It is suggested that the framework of‘Learning Destinations’ may serve as a tool for understanding thecomplexity of local and regional tourism development.</p>

AbstractThis chapter focuses on teams collaborating with the stand-alone version of NVivo. As the server version Collaboration Cloud is unavailable to many users, the chapter shows how collaborative work in teams can be organised within the framework of the standalone version. Two situations are discussed. First, the chapter shows a single researcher actively working in NVivo and another researcher (e.g. the supervisor) involved in the project but not as an NVivo user. In this situation, the chapter shows how the active researcher can share information about the project with the second team member by either exchanging protected projects or exchanging reports. A second situation exemplified in the chapter is a research team with multiple researchers working together on a project and needing to collaborate on the same NVivo project. Here, the team needs to create a core project that is shared and continuously integrated and shared again.

AbstractBuilding construction has a profound impact on economic, social and environmental sustainability. The transformation of building construction towards reaching the United Nations sustainability goals will necessitate a transformation of project delivery models (PDMs) in construction projects. Successful management of uncertainty is essential for a project to reach its goals. Sustainable transformation is increasing the complexity and need for innovation in construction projects, and complex projects have a relatively high tendency to fail in reaching their goals. Collaborative project delivery models (CDMs) are considered particularly suitable for complex projects with high uncertainty and need for innovation. A CDM can be divided into contractual, organizational and cultural elements. The relationship between CDM elements, uncertainty and sustainability is insufficiently understood. This chapter seeks to fill the research gap by examining experiences from five large European collaborative projects studied in two longitudinal multiple-case studies carried out in cooperation with two of the largest project owners in the Norwegian construction industry. Experiences from the five case projects demonstrate how CDM elements facilitate early and joint management of opportunities and risks in a way which can advance both economic, social and environmental sustainability. For a CDM to successfully contribute to the advancement of sustainability, its elements must be selected and implemented in ways that ensure the recruitment, incentivization and organization of suppliers and personnel with competence and commitment to create a collaborative culture aimed at achieving sustainability goals. Social, political and market uncertainty in the front-end greatly impacts the ability of the client to select and implement such a CDM. In future research, it is recommended to study in detail how collaboration towards sustainability goals can be integrated into CDM elements and to carry out comparative quantitative studies on how projects with various forms of such integration perform economically, socially and environmentally.

My colleagues who work in theatre have taught me my new favorite word: collaboration. Being the lone medievalist in my field at a small liberal arts college, I’ve learned to work on active collaborations with friends in fields outside medieval studies. We can meld our approaches into a process that works for both of us, since collaboration primarily requires working together closely to create a finished product. Starting from the same background knowledge does not matter. Coming together over shared materials — while appreciating my colleagues’ distinct approaches and methodologies — has reinvigorated my teach-ing and research, making possible different class projects, better class discussions, new research initiatives, and new classes and co-curricular opportunities.

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.

This paper deals with the application of remote collaborative environments in product design, in particular for design review activities. In this context, companies actually face some troubles: limited knowledge about available tools, difficulty in coming to know and using innovative systems, and complexity in evaluating the impact of the technology on design collaboration. The present research suggests a novel collaborative environment (the CoReD platform) that merges system simplicity, project-oriented approach and customizable functions. It defines a metric-based protocol considering both performances and cognitive aspects to assess collaboration quality and then monitors design review sessions within three industrial Consortia. Research contributions are to answer two main questions: how to arrange a low-cost co-design environment and how to effectively evaluate the human-system interaction and collaborative performance in industrial use. Experimental results highlight that the CoReD platform is able to efficiently improve collaborative processes by affecting both product-process performance and human-based collaboration, mainly thanks to: system architecture simplicity, low cost, high customizable functionalities and ease of use for remote design. However, results demonstrate also that significant advantages can be achieved only if industrial partners have a good level of technical expertise and high motivation to collaborate each other.

Planning is essential to navigate the challenges and uncertainties posed by climate change as offshore marine energy development proceeds over the coming decades. This paper introduces the prototype version of the Canadian Coastal Zone Information System (CCZIS), a pioneering initiative developed jointly by ASL Environmental Sciences Inc. and Trailmark Systems Inc. through the Innovative Solutions Canada Challenge administered by Public Services and Procurement Canada (ISC, 2020). The core functionality of CCZIS lies in its ability to provide spatial-statistical representations of key metocean parameters such as water levels, waves, sea ice conditions, vertical allowances, and marine winds. One of CCZIS's ground-breaking features is its integration of regional model-based projections derived from coupled atmosphere-ocean models such as The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). CMIP5 is a collaborative international effort that involves a collection of climate models used to simulate and project the Earth's climate system (Taylor et al., 2012; IPCC, 2013). CMIP5 was coordinated by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and facilitated the comparison of climate models from different global institutions. It served as a framework for assessing the performance of these models, advancing our understanding of climate processes, and providing projections for future climate conditions. CMIP5 models simulate a range of climate variables, including temperature, precipitation, sea ice extent, and atmospheric circulation. These simulations help scientists and policymakers explore potential future climate scenarios under different greenhouse gas emission scenarios. CMIP-5 model realizations for different relative concentration pathway scenarios (RCP) contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments, providing valuable data and insights that inform climate research, impact assessments, and policy decisions. Spanning a variety of greenhouse gas emission scenarios, from the conservative RCP 2.0 to the more extreme RCP 8.5, these projections enable users to toggle between different climate change scenarios with the number representing the increase in net surface radiative forcing. This functionality allows for comparative analysis against metocean design criteria used in past projects against different potential future climate change scenarios, thereby allowing for the assessment of expected metocean extremes under each RCP scenario. A variety of other data sources were reviewed such as the Canadian Extreme Water Level Adaptation Tool (CAN-EWLAT) (Greenan, 2022), MSC-50 (Swail et. al., 2007), etc., and are described further in the analysis section. CCZIS displays three-dimensional bathymetric and infrastructure data together, through the combination of several data sources: high-resolution Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) Non-Navigational (NONNA) bathymetry (CHS, 2023) dredging survey data, seabed properties (borehole data), and its support for the geo-referenced three-dimensional display of present and future coastal and offshore infrastructure. In addition, CCZIS has a built-in user input-driven computational tool for computing nearshore waves, for large marine wind events, at any selected location. The integration of hydrographic data, seabed properties, and existing infrastructure with hindcast and future-looking metocean conditions offers a unified data fusion platform to ensure resilient engineering of offshore marine energy installations, including wind farms, energy platforms, transmission infrastructure, as well as ports and small craft harbors where support vessel operations will be based.

Abstract In this paper we review two student design projects executed under a geographically distributed protocol. Our pilot design project occurred at the University of Dayton between the 5th and 14th of July, 2000. We assembled a small group of students into a distributed design team and assigned a rudimentary project via an audio chat session. Most team members were prohibited from face-to-face interaction during the ten-day period. To communicate and share data, they were required to use either the set of collaborative tools installed on each member’s personal computer or a telephone. The second project occurred from January to May 2001, involving students from Ohio University, Ohio Northern University and the University of Dayton. There were no artificial restrictions on the interactions amongst the team members as in the pilot project. However, the distance between the students made collaborating in a distributed fashion a necessity. This paper presents an overview of the design projects and the collaborative tools used, observations about our experiences executing design under this protocol, and future directions for this work.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is becoming a central theme in the digital transformation of building design, con-struction and operation. Teaching strategies for the education of the cosmopolitan architect are challenging, as interdisci¬plinary collaboration skills are required. This paper presents a prototypic class designed to enable students to co-create buildings as co-creative-partners in interdisciplinary teams using BIM. The class used the openBIM method and focused on working with digital-building-models throughout the design- and planning phase, and collaborating and present¬ing the results using Virtual-Reality (VR). For this purpose, architecture and Building-Services-Engineering students participated in application-oriented workshops to first gain practical experience in 3D-modeling, co-creation and VR and then collaborate as interdisciplinary teams. This class was evaluated by surveying students before and after the class to explore their attitudes toward technology acceptance and how they deal with stereotypes in the context of design and construction. The results showed that the class was successful in improving students’ perceptions of the benefits of BIM and their self-efficacy in using it. Similarly, students had developed a more realistic understanding of the unique perspectives of the respective disciplines. These findings underscore that by using the hands-on and collaborative learning method, students’ readiness for working together in interdisciplinary projects was strength¬ened. Despite the challenges of communicating and integrating a variety of building-information into the BIM process, the class encouraged students to engage in compromise solutions in the design-process with other disciplines and to find workarounds together.

The product development processes nowadays are featured with ever-increasing complexity of product configurations, diverse data resources, and multi-disciplinary, geographical dispersed engineering teams, and intensive use of various software tools for managing the data associated with the product and its life cycle. These characteristics result in the need of a collaborative product development (CPD) environment for today’s industries. This paper describes the methodology which enables the engineering collaboration within a compressed product development cycle, and presents our results with the development of a CPD environment. A four-tiered client/server collaboration architecture, which allows system integration, data sharing, and collaboration among team members in an internet platform, is described. By integrating the distributed application servers, such as product specification server, CAD/CAE server, project management, collaborative visualization workspace, and product data management module, using web technologies, an engineering CPD portal is proposed and implemented. This portal environment could bring entire engineering team together in one place in real-time, irrespective of geography, enterprise boundaries, or native systems, to share product information throughout the product development processes, which include product definition, design, engineering analysis, and manufacturing, etc. Manufacturing companies could therefore collaborate closely with their suppliers/collaborators global widely. A case study is carried out for collaborative development of a typical component used in data storage industry, the spindle motor, to illustrate the proposed approach and to validate the developed systems.

Megaproject clients seek collaboration with suppliers to improve performance and foster innovative thinking. However, it is difficult to coordinate dozens of main contracts with interdependent activities being performed simultaneously. The aim of this paper is to identify initiatives that clients can take to improve collaborative coordination with the supply chain, beyond more traditional approaches like early engagement and flexible contracts. The findings are based on 24 interviews with managers and engineers involved in Johan Sverdrup 1, an offshore oil and gas megaproject in Norway. Four strategic processes were identified: quality of Front-End Engineering Design; familiarization periods for seamless handover from design to execution; interface management routines and collaborative follow-up.

Inter-municipal Cooperation (IMC), a collaborative approach among municipalities, is increasingly promoted as a solution to challenges local governments cannot address independently. IMC is viewed as a strategy to enhance resource efficiency, strengthen competencies, and maintain or improve municipal services. In a recent government bill, inter-municipal cooperation and coordination is highlighted as an essential approach for Swedish municipalities to practice when planning and developing their housing provision. Research on IMC and housing provision is, however, limited. IMC studies are usually centred around technical municipal services, such as waste management, with a cost savings aspect in focus. Thus, in the context of housing, IMC appears to involve additional aspects beyond those typically researched in the IMC field. Focusing on the regions Skåne and Västra Götaland, this report examines IMC in housing provision at the national, regional, and sub-regional levels. Findings reveal a lack of coherent goals for "coordination" (samordning) with stakeholders, such as the County Administrative Board in Skåne, expressing uncertainty about its intended purpose. Among the established IMC organs highlighted in this report, the work on housing provision tends to involve the production of shared housing market analyses and developing visions for the subregion’s future development. Nevertheless, there are examples of more concrete cooperation outcomes, such as the work done at the IMC organ Storsthlm. Ultimately, the report concludes that IMC in housing provision remains largely unexplored and further studies are required to unfold the objectives and outcomes of this approach. This report is produced within the framework of JÄMBO, a research project focused on innovative solutions on various levels concerning housing questions and housing provision

This study presents a comprehensive vegetation mapping inventory project undertaken in Death Valley National Park (DEVA) within the National Park Service?s Mojave Desert Network (MOJN). Spanning 3.4 million acres across California and Nevada, DEVA is the largest national park in the contiguous United States. Renowned for its harsh environment?characterized by intense heat, aridity, and low elevation?DEVA encompasses a variety of landscapes, including playas, alluvial fans, sand dunes, and mountain ranges. Despite its desolate appearance, the park harbors a diverse array of vegetation, with plant communities adapted to the park?s varying elevation, moisture, salinity, and substrate conditions. The project, which began in 2011, was initiated by the National Park Service?s (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Inventory (VMI), aimed to document and classify the plant communities within DEVA. The ten-year project, divided into six phases, began with a thorough review of legacy data and a summary of plant communities. In collaboration with the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), field data were collected across the park, including 111 classification plots and 518 observation points. This data, along with 1,242 samples from previous studies, were entered into the NPS VMI-specific PLOTS database. The CNPS analyzed the collected data to classify 85 plant alliances according to the revised US National Vegetation Classification (rUSNVC) standard, leading to the identification of 186 plant associations within DEVA. Cogan Technology, Inc., then developed a digital vegetation map layer covering the entire park, using a combination of manual and automated mapping techniques. This map was based on imagery from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) and field data, resulting in the delineation of 90 map units (74 vegetated and 16 land-use/land-cover units). The map?s overall thematic accuracy was assessed at 82%, with a Kappa value of 89%. The final products, including the spatial geodatabase, digital vegetation map layer, field photos, metadata, classification report, and a field key to the vegetation alliances, were delivered to the NPS VMI. These resources provide a comprehensive overview of DEVA?s vegetation and support ongoing conservation and management efforts within this unique and challenging landscape.

Subsea pipelines and flow lines are periodically subjected to damaging events such as anchor impacts that result in massive pipeline movements, dropped object damage, internal/external corrosion damage, etc. Knowing how to assess these damage events is often challenging, especially considering the potential for product release. The cost of production shut-ins can be significant and avoiding un-necessary shut-ins is desirable. While most pipeline operators have company-level procedures and programs in place for responding to pipeline emergencies, at the current time there is no single resource for providing guidance for the pipeline industry. Development of emergency response guidelines for operators to respond to offshore pipeline damage emergencies in an effective and timely manner. One unique feature of this project is that SES utilized a series of workshops spaced over a years to collectively build the Decision/Task Tree, which is the key feature of this work. Further, a collaborative effort was continued to develop detailed input for the report. This Collaborative Workshop Model of conducting project work combines the best minds available on the subject, rather than having our customers merely serve as observers and evaluators, as is done traditionally. A second unique feature is that this report is formatted as a computer-based entry portal a "front door"� to existing proprietary documents that each company has assembled for use in responding to an offshore pipeline damage incident. Often the treasured company documents are in dusty notebooks that should be scanned for incorporation with this front door document. This guideline document in its final form can provide live links to the proprietary company documents in an Adobe Acrobat format, along with the materials we have developed for the project. This front door is intended for use on a computer that is linked to the internet. The contents of this report are organized to place traditional introductory topics that would detract from operational use of this report for actual offshore emergencies in appendices near the back of the report. This report provides insights on the critical elements required for effectively responding to pipeline emergencies. PART A of this report contains the traditional introductory material, while PART B is named the Field Manual - for offshore emergency use. PART B can be used alone as an emergency response field manual without the introductory material PART A contains the Executive Summary, Introduction and Background, while PART B Contains the Preface to the Field Manual, How to Use This Report, the Detailed Task/Decision Matrix, the Resource Sheets referred to in the Matrix, In-House Company Processes Needed, Table of Preferred Consultants and Service Providers, and the SPIM 3-1 Detailed Repair Investigation Checklist.

The objective is to develop an integrity management approach that would meet industry needs and could be the basis for codes and standards development by relevant pipeline code commit-tees. The approach is to collaborate with the PRCI SBDA committee to come up with a frame-work that could meet industry�s needs to ensure the safe and reliable operation of pipelines that may be subjected to significant ground deformations. This report contains a detailed review of existing integrity management codes and pipeline design codes to establish the guidance that is available for the integrity management of pipelines that have been designed using strain-based design methods. It covers integrity management of high strains in new and existing onshore and offshore pipelines. This report presents a review of the main causes of high strains and describes the critical limit states considered in strain-based design, which may also be used to evaluate a pipelines continu-ing fitness for service after a high strain event. It describes the tasks that can be performed dur-ing each phase of a project to ensure the integrity of a new Strain Based design (SBD) pipeline. The additional integrity challenges associated with a high strain event in an existing non-SBD pipeline are presented. A detailed review of the capability of existing in-line tools to measure axial and bending strain is presented. Preliminary reviews of available external tools and technology that can be used to es-tablish the material properties of the line pipe and weld material, which are needed to establish the fitness for service of an existing non-strain-based design pipeline, is presented. A preliminary review of the methods used to detect and measure defects in girth welds and confirm that the allowable defect size has not been exceeded, is also presented. A flowchart covering the key actions and decisions to be made by a pipeline operator in the event of a high strain event is also included. This report presents recommendations for future study and development work based on the guidance and technology gaps identified during the study.

The University of Georgia Department of Geography’s Center for Geospatial Research (CGR), with the support of the National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Inventory (VMI) Program, described and mapped vegetation at Castillo De San Marcos National Monument (CASA). This mapping effort was accomplished through collaboration with the NPS Southeast Coast Network (SECN), the North Carolina office of NatureServe (Durham, N.C.), and Amec-Foster-Wheeler Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. A final vegetation map for Castillo de San Marcos National Monument was created to represent the vegetation occurring within the park during 2012. This product is the final of four steps necessary to produce an accurate vegetation map based upon aerial photographs. This includes the determination of the community element global (CEGL) codes (2008) and acquisition of aerial imagery (2012), using the aerial imagery, with five ground truthing points (2014), to create a draft vegetation map, performing an accuracy assessment (2015), and then using all the available information to create a final vegetation map (2018). The total mapping area encompassed the entire boundary of the monument plus an additional 500-meter (1,640-foot [ft]) buffered area. Using one NatureServe vegetation plot, color-infrared aerial photos, and data collected in the field, vegetation communities were delineated and assigned attributes. Using dominant vegetation classes and secondary vegetation classes, as well as modifiers to describe the diversity of species, detailed vegetation maps were created for Castillo de San Marcos NM. Polygons and attributes within the 500-meter (1,640-ft) buffer were created on a broader scale using a system based on the Anderson Level II classification scheme which includes anthropogenic and land use/land cover (LULC) classes. Within the monument, the more detailed National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) was used. The most common class found in Castillo de San Marcos NM is the combination class 14002 (4701—Bermuda Grass Semi-natural Pasture and 4883—St. Augustine Grass Herbaceous Vegetation). This class covers approximately 60% of the Monument. The smallest class in the park is the combination class 13008 (3956—Saltwort—Woody Glasswort Dwarf—shrubland 3956 and 2278—Salt Flat (Woody Glasswort Type), covering less than 0.5% of the entire park. A rigorous accuracy assessment was conducted on the four map classes within the boundary of Castillo de San Marcos NM representing floristic types within the National Vegetation Classification System. Results showed an 80% map accuracy and a kappa rating of 100% using 10 accuracy assessment points. The products generated from this project include vegetation maps, a photointerpretation key, summary statistics of each vegetation class, and a detailed geodatabase with digital maps.

The University of Georgia Department of Geography’s Center for Geospatial Research (CGR), with the support of the National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Inventory (VMI) Program, described and mapped vegetation at Fort Matanzas National Monument (FOMA). This mapping effort was accomplished through collaboration with the NPS Southeast Coast Network (SECN), the North Carolina office of NatureServe (Durham, N.C.), and Amec-Foster-Wheeler Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. A final vegetation map for Fort Matanzas NM was created to represent the vegetation occurring within the park during 2012. This product represents the final of four steps necessary to produce an accurate vegetation map based upon aerial photographs. This includes determining the community element global (CEGL) codes (2008) and acquisition of aerial imagery (2012), using the aerial imagery, with 21 ground truthing points (2014, 2015), to create a draft vegetation map, performing an accuracy assessment (2015), and then using all the available information to create a final vegetation map (2018). The total mapping area encompassed the entire boundary of the park plus an additional 500-meter (1,640-foot [ft]) buffered area. Because of the extensive past land use history, using the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) to the association level was challenging. Determining CEGL codes was particularly difficult because the National Vegetation Classification System was designed for relatively undisturbed vegetation communities. Through the use of eight NatureServe vegetation plots, color-infrared aerial photos, and data collected in the field, vegetation communities were delineated and assigned attributes. Using dominant vegetation classes and secondary vegetation classes, as well as modifiers to describe the diversity of species, detailed vegetation maps were created for Fort Matanzas NM. Polygons and attributes within the 500-meter (1,640-ft) buffer were created on a broader scale using a system based on the Anderson Level II classification scheme which includes anthropogenic and land use/land cover (LULC) classes. Within the park, the more detailed National Vegetation Classification System was used. The most common class found in Fort Matanzas NM is 7032—Maritime Live Oak Hammock, covering 38% of the park, followed by the combination class 39227 (3956—Saltwort—Woody Glasswort Dwarf—shrubland and 2278—Salt Flat—Woody Glasswort Type), covering almost 24% of the park. Non-NVCS classes cover 12% of the park, with the most dominate non-NVCS class being sand and covering 7% of the park. A rigorous accuracy assessment was conducted on the six map classes within the boundary of Fort Matanzas NM representing floristic types within the National Vegetation Classification System. Results showed a 70% map accuracy and a kappa rating of 62% using 40 accuracy assessment points. The products generated from this project include a vegetation map, a photointerpretation key, summary statistics of each vegetation class, and a detailed geodatabase with digital maps.

Using dominant vegetation classes and secondary vegetation classes as well as modifiers to describe the diversity of species, detailed draft vegetation maps were created for the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, both inside the park and within a 500-meter (1,640-foot [ft]) buffer. The buffer polygons and attributes were created on a broader scale using a system based on the Anderson Level II classification scheme, which includes anthropogenic and land use/land cover (LULC) classes. Within the park, the more detailed community element global (CEGL) codes were used. Because of the extensive past land use history, using the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) to the association level was challenging. Determining CEGL codes was particularly difficult because the National Vegetation Classification System was designed for relatively undisturbed vegetation communities. Through the use of NatureServe vegetation plots, aerial photos, and data collected in the field, vegetation communities were delineated and assigned attributes. Using dominant vegetation classes and secondary vegetation classes, as well as modifiers to describe the diversity of species, detailed vegetation maps were created for Chattahoochee River NRA, both inside the park and within a 500-meter (1,640-ft) buffer. The buffer size used for this study covered a much larger area than the region found within the park. This illustrates the linear nature of the park and how much it, including the river, is susceptible to land use land cover changes outside of the boundary. Chattahoochee River NRA covers approximately 3,000 hectares (7,413 acres [ac]) while the buffer contains approximately 10,700 hectares (26,440 ac). The majority of land use within the buffer, 57%, is residential. The most common vegetation classes found at Chattahoochee River NRA were Southern Red Oak—White Oak Mixed Oak Forest (7244) and Piedmont Dry—Mesic Basic White Oak—Hickory Forest (7232) with 10.4% and 9.9% of the park respectively. The smallest class was Southern Woolgrass Bulrush Marsh (3866) and Knotweed Pondshore and Ditchbank Vegetation (4966), at less than 0.05% each. Water, covering 19.2 % of the park, represents a higher percentage of area than any vegetation class. A rigorous accuracy assessment was conducted on the 30 map classes within the boundary of the park representing floristic types within the National Vegetation Classification System. Results showed an 82% map accuracy and a kappa rating of 81% using 356 accuracy assessment points. The products of this project include vegetation maps, a photointerpretation key, summary statistics of each vegetation class, and a detailed geodatabase with digital maps.

The University of Georgia Department of Geography’s Center for Geospatial Research (CGR), with the support of the National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Inventory (VMI) Program, described and mapped vegetation at Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park (OCMU). Mapping was accomplished through collaboration with the NPS Southeast Coast Network (SECN), the North Carolina office of NatureServe (Durham, N.C.), and Atkins North America, Inc. A final vegetation map for Ocmulgee Mounds NHP was created to represent the vegetation occurring within the park during 2011. This product represents the final of four steps necessary to produce an accurate vegetation map based upon aerial photographs. This includes the determination of the community element global (CEGL) codes (2008) and acquisition of aerial imagery (2011), using the aerial imagery, with 130 ground truthing points (2014), to create a draft vegetation map, performing an accuracy assessment (2015), and then using all the available information to create a final vegetation map (2017). The total mapping area was 902.1 hectares (2,275.8 acres [ac]), encompassing the entire boundary of the park plus an additional 500-meter (1,640-foot [ft]) buffered area. The area now, including in Ocmulgee Mounds NHP, has been used by humans for over 17,000 years. This region was heavily deforested in the early 1900s but has recovered in recent decades. The current vegetation of Ocmulgee Mounds NHP shows evidence of previous anthropogenic influences, with many early successional forest species such as sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) and box elder (Acer negundo) and the presence of invasive species, especially Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera). Because of the past land use history, using the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) to the association level was challenging. Determining CEGL codes was particularly difficult because the National Vegetation Classification System was designed for relatively undisturbed vegetation communities. Through the use of 16 NatureServe vegetation plots, color-infrared aerial photos, and data collected in the field, vegetation communities were delineated and assigned attributes. Using dominant vegetation classes and secondary vegetation classes, as well as modifiers to describe the diversity of species, detailed vegetation maps were created for Ocmulgee Mounds NHP. Polygons and attributes within the 500-meter (1,640-ft) buffer were created on a broader scale using a system based on the Anderson Level II classification scheme which includes anthropogenic and land use/land cover (LULC) classes. While within the park, the more detailed vegetation classes were used. The most common class found in Ocmulgee Mounds NHP was Loblolly Pine (White Oak, Southern Red Oak, Post Oak) Southeastern Interior Forest (4232), covering approximately 18% of the park. The smallest class was Upper East Gulf Coastal Plain Cherrybark Oak—Sweetgum Terrace Forest (8585) at less than 1%. The overall lack of a dominant class reflects the subtle topography and anthropogenic influences. A rigorous accuracy assessment was conducted on the 13 map classes within the boundary of OCMU representing floristic types within the NVCS. Results showed an 80% map accuracy and a kappa rating of 77% using 97 accuracy assessment points. The products generated from this project include vegetation maps, a photointerpretation key, summary statistics of each vegetation class, and a detailed geodatabase with digital maps.

The University of Georgia Department of Geography’s Center for Geospatial Research (CGR), with the support of the National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Inventory (VMI) Program, described and mapped vegetation at Horseshoe Bend National Military Park (HOBE). This mapping effort was accomplished through collaboration with the NPS Southeast Coast Network (SECN), the North Carolina office of NatureServe (/Durham, N.C.), and Atkins North America, Inc. A final map of vegetation communities was created for Horseshoe Bend National Military Park (NMP) to the association level of the National Vegetation Classification System and in a 500-meter (1,640-foot [ft]) buffer zone around the park using the more general Anderson Level II classification. This map represents the vegetation found in the park during 2011, the year the images were acquired. We were provided with the vegetation communities occurring in the park, as determined by NatureServe from ground plots. We overlaid the location of the NatureServe plots on leaf-on color-infrared aerial photographs to determine the image signature of vegetation communities in terms of color, tone, texture, and topographic position. We also conducted our own field surveys to refine and verify photointerpretation. The park encompasses 829 hectares (2,049 acres [ac]) while the buffer alone covers 712 hectares (1,759 ac). Within the park boundary, there were 23 vegetation communities, with pine and hardwood forest communities dominating (88%). While forested, most of the forests (66% of total area) are mid-successional forests 30 to 75 years of age, reflecting past anthropogenic influences. The most common vegetation class is Early-to Mid-Successional Loblolly Pine Forest (24%). Areas impacted by exotic invasives or pine bark beetles were minimal (less than 1%). The buffer area (712 hectares [1,759 ac]) was 81% forested. There is a small component of rangeland (12%), which depending upon location and actual use, may influence water quality. Less than 3% of the buffer zone is high intensity anthropogenic land-uses. Because of the extensive past land use history, using the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) to the association level was challenging. Determining CEGL codes was particularly difficult because the National Vegetation Classification System was designed for relatively undisturbed vegetation communities. Using 16 NatureServe vegetation plots, color-infrared aerial photos, and data collected in the field, vegetation communities were delineated and assigned attributes. Using dominant vegetation classes and secondary vegetation classes, as well as modifiers to describe the diversity of species, detailed vegetation maps were created for Horseshoe Bend NMP. Polygons and attributes within the 500-meter (1,640-ft) buffer were created on a broader scale using a system based on the Anderson Level II classification scheme which includes anthropogenic and land use/land cover (LULC) classes. Within the park, the more detailed vegetation classes were used. The most common class found in Horseshoe Bend NMP is Early- to Mid-Successional Loblolly Pine Forest (6011) covering 24% of the park. This class combined with the second and third most common classes, Successional Sweetgum Floodplain Forest and Mid- to Late-Successional Loblolly Pine - Sweetgum Forest respectively, covers 57% of the park's 829 hectares (2,049 ac). The smallest class in the park that is larger than one half hectare is Highland Rim Pond (Woolgrass Bulrush—Threeway Sedge Type; 4719) which covers roughly one hectare. A rigorous accuracy assessment was conducted on the 23 map classes within the boundary of Horseshoe Bend NHP representing floristic types within the National Vegetation Classification System. Results showed 69% map accuracy and a kappa rating of 66% using 167 accuracy assessment points. The products generated from this project include vegetation maps, a photointerpretation key,..........

Approximately 28,000 maternal deaths occur every year in Bangladesh due to pregnancy and delivery-related complications, while many more women suffer major physical and psychological injuries. Available statistics indicate an increase in menstrual regulation (MR) and abortions, most performed by untrained practitioners under unhygienic conditions. Introducing emergency contraception (EC) in the national family planning (FP) program in Bangladesh could substantially reduce unwanted pregnancies and as result MR/abortions should also decrease. Because MR/abortions in Bangladesh significantly contribute to high maternal morbidity/mortality, introducing EC could be an important reproductive health intervention to provide couples with a back-up support to prevent unwanted pregnancy. EC could also reduce the psychological worries and health risks associated with unwanted pregnancies, MR, and abortions. The Directorate of Family Planning in collaboration with the Population Council’s Frontiers in Reproductive Health Project, Pathfinder International, and John Snow Inc., is conducting this feasibility study to develop, test, and document operational details for introducing EC as a back-up support for existing FP methods. This report is an interim update of the study’s accomplishments so far.
