A framework to assess the sustainability of an employee suggestion system in the UAE organizations (2012)
Thesis
Lasrado, F. A framework to assess the sustainability of an employee suggestion system in the UAE organizations. (Thesis). University of Salford

Employee Suggestion Systems (ESS) is a tool widely used by the corporations to elicit employees' creative ideas. It will elicit suggestions from employees, classify them, and dispatch them to the "experts" for evaluation. After this, the suggestion...

Rigid body trajectories in different 6D spaces (2012)
Journal Article
Linton, C., Holderbaum, W., & Biggs, J. (2012). Rigid body trajectories in different 6D spaces. International Scholarly Research Notices, 2012, 467520. https://doi.org/10.5402/2012/467520

The objective of this paper is to show that the group SE3 with an imposed Lie-Poisson structure can be used to determine the trajectory in a spatial frame of a rigid body in Euclidean space. Identical results for the trajectory are obtained in sphe... Read More about Rigid body trajectories in different 6D spaces.

Actin coating and compression of fused secretory vesicles are essential for surfactant secretion - a role for Rho, formins and myosin II (2012)
Journal Article
Miklavc, P., Hecht, E., Hobi, N., Wittekindt, O., Dietl, P., Kranz, C., & Frick, M. (2012). Actin coating and compression of fused secretory vesicles are essential for surfactant secretion - a role for Rho, formins and myosin II. Journal of Cell Science, 125(11), 2765-2774. https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.105262

Secretion of vesicular contents by exocytosis is a fundamental cellular process. Increasing evidence suggests that post-fusion events play an important role in determining the composition and quantity of the secretory output. In particular, regulatio...

A brief history of the concept of waste in production (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L., Sacks, R., & Rooke, J. (2012, July). A brief history of the concept of waste in production. Presented at 20th Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, San Diego, California

Purpose: The concept of waste has been used in relation to production since the beginning of the 20th century. As it is well-known, it is a foundational notion for the Toyota Production System and its derivatives, like lean production. However, waste...

Design science research in lean construction : process and outcomes (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Rocha, C., Formoso, C., Tzortzopoulos Fazenda, P., Koskela, L., & Tezel, B. (2012, July). Design science research in lean construction : process and outcomes. Presented at 20th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, San Diego, USA

Design science (or constructive) research is a mode of producing scientific knowledge. It differs from explanatory research whose goal is to describe, understand and eventually predict phenomena of a particular field. Alternatively, the goal of desi...

A Case Study On Benefits Realization And Its Contributions For Linking Project Outputs To Outcomes (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Tillmann, P., Sapountzis, S., Tzortzopoulos Fazenda, P., & Formoso, C. (2012, July). A Case Study On Benefits Realization And Its Contributions For Linking Project Outputs To Outcomes. Presented at 19th Annual conference of International Group of Lean Construction, San Diego, California, USA

Value generation has been an increasing concern in the project management literature. It has been argued that the main challenge for generating value is no longer the design of a physical facility or asset, but thecapability of understanding the...
