The underlying theory of project management is obsolete (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L., & Howell, G. (2002, June). The underlying theory of project management is obsolete. Presented at The PMI Research Conference, Seattle, Washington

In prior literature, it has been generally seen that there is no explicit theory of project management. We contend that it is possible to precisely point out the underlying theoretical foundation of project management as espoused in the PMBOK Guide b...

Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., Avis, M., & Davies, W. (2002, June). Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers. Presented at 21st Audio Engineering Society Convention, Saint Petersburg, Russia

Conventional pistonic loudspeakers excite the modes of an enclosed sound field in such a way as to introduce modal
artefacts which may be problematic for listeners to high-quality reproduced sound [1]. Their amelioration may
involve the use of high... Read More about Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers.
