Time-related Incentive and Disincentive Provisions in Highway Construction Contracts
This report will be of interest to state and local highway agency construction managers and contractors with regard to learning about best practices of time-related incentive and disincentive contract provisions and their effect on staffing levels, productivity, project cost, quality, contract administration, and the contractor's operations and innovations. The report also presents a decision process guide to use as a template for crafting the incentive/disincentive provisions.
Functional Pavement Design
Functional Pavement Design is a collections of 186 papers from 27 different countries, which were presented at the 4th Chinese-European Workshops (CEW) on Functional Pavement Design (Delft, the Netherlands, 29 June-1 July 2016). The focus of the CEW series is on field tests, laboratory test methods and advanced analysis techniques, and cover analysis, material development and production, experimental characterization, design and construction of pavements. The main areas covered by the book include: - Flexible pavements - Pavement and bitumen - Pavement performance and LCCA - Pavement structures - Pavements and environment - Pavements and innovation - Rigid pavements - Safety - Traffic engineering Functional Pavement Design is for contributing to the establishment of a new generation of pavement design methodologies in which rational mechanics principles, advanced constitutive models and advanced material characterization techniques shall constitute the backbone of the design process. The book will be much of interest to professionals and academics in pavement engineering and related disciplines.
How to Reduce Tire-pavement Noise
Better practices to improve surface properties and thus tire-pavement noise are really about establishing a higher order of control over the texture and other surface properties. It is not about designing or building "innovative" surfaces, but rather the control of conventional texturing techniques. There should be a renewed awareness of the impact that some of the subtle operational characteristics can have on the texture as constructed. Predictable tire-pavement noise levels are not about how the texture is imparted as much as they are about the recognition and management of the sources of variability. Regarding the concrete, noise levels have to do with the fact that the contractors are imparting texture into a material with inherent variability in both stiffness and plasticity. Concrete changes from batch-to-batch, and it changes within a batch. The wind and the sun play a major role, as does the timing of the concrete mixing, transport, placement, and (eventually) the texturing and curing (the latter being important for acoustical durability).
Fulbright in New Zealand
This book draws on the personal experiences of more than 600 past alumni of the Fulbright Program, a bi-national arrangement for the exchange of teachers and scholars between the United States and other countries. In outlining the history of the United States/New Zealand exchange program, it provides several personal narratives about New Zealand alumni experiences in the United States and American alumni experience in New Zealand. Appendices include the following lists: number of participants by country; board members of both the New Zealand and U.S. chapters; New Zealand research scholars and lecturers; New Zealand graduate students; New Zealand exchange teachers; and educational and vocational development grants. U.S. graduates, research scholars and lecturers, exchange students, and cultural grants are also listed. Contains a 36-item bibliography. (GLR)

Interventional Cardiology and Cardiac Catheterisation
Cardiology is becoming an increasingly complex field understood by only a select group of medical specialists. This publication demystifies many difficult topics in interventional cardiology and cardiac catheterisation, commencing with the basics of laboratory instrumentation and technology and progressing to a comprehensive review of both new and established cardiac interventions. Unlike other publications that are directed mainly towards clinicians, this text is specifically written to assist newcomers such as such as medical trainees, nurses, technicians, scientific staff and other allied health professionals understand the wonders of interventional cardiology, and includes extensive explanations of the techniques of angiography, and new percutaneous. The comprehensive information presented herein, written by recognised specialists in their respective fields, will no doubt prove of great benefit to clinician and non-medical specialist alike.
