Fifty years of irrelevance: the wild goose chase of management science (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L. (2011, July). Fifty years of irrelevance: the wild goose chase of management science. Presented at 19th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, Lima, Peru

Modern management science has existed since 1959 when two reports (by Pierson and Gordon & Howell) on the future of business education were published in the US. At least since 1980, there has been a practically continuous, but somewhat fragmented dis... Read More about Fifty years of irrelevance: the wild goose chase of management science.

Defining a new measure for synchronization of multi-channel epileptic depth-EEG signals based on identification of parameters of a computational model (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Shayegh, F., Amirfattahi, R., Sadri, S., Ansari-Asl, K., & Saraee, M. (2011, July). Defining a new measure for synchronization of multi-channel epileptic depth-EEG signals based on identification of parameters of a computational model. Presented at Intelligent Systems and Control / 742 : Computational Bioscience (ISC 2011), Cambridge, UK

There are various methods to measure the value of synchronization of signals. These methods usually do not consider the sources of the signals. Therefore, these methods usually underestimate the coupling phenomena of the sources of the system that ge...

Acoustic based condition monitoring of turbine blades (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B. (2011, July). Acoustic based condition monitoring of turbine blades. Presented at 18th International Congress on Sound and Vibration, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

An initial investigation into the performance of acoustic condition monitoring in the detection of structural faults in turbine blades has been carried out. The focus is to design a non-contact condition monitoring method which might allow the detect... Read More about Acoustic based condition monitoring of turbine blades.
