Maintenance Management: A Case Study of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Building in Al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip
(2015)The existing health buildings in the Gaza Strip hospitals lack of adequate maintenance. This is due to several reasons, such as lack of funding, lack of qualified well trained staff, and lack of staff motivation. Most ... -
Training for construction site managers involved with multicultural work teams
(Pergamon, 1990)The success of construction projects, whether it is accomplished in the country of the organization or beyond its border, is determined in the main by the quality of its management. Projects which are carried out beyond ... -
Integrated architectural application characterization tools for comparative assessment of parallel systems
(IEEE, 1991)PAWS (Parallel Assessment Window System) is an experimental research tool currently operational at Syracuse University that provides a single unified environment for performing application specific analysis for existing, ... -
PAWS: A performance evaluation tool for parallel computing systems
(IEEE, 1991)A description is given of PAWS (parallel assessment window system), a set of tools that provides an interactive user-friendly environment for analysis of existing, prototype, and conceptual machine architectures running a ... -
Managerial effectiveness and the style of management in the Middle East: An empirical analysis
(E. & FN Spon, 1991)This study aims at examining the site managers’ effectiveness with relation to their managerial style when managing multi-cultural work forces in the Middle East. Data were obtained from 79 site managers working with 41 ... -
Shear and flexural strengths resulting from confinement of the compression regions in circular section structural concrete beams
(Thomas Telford Ltd, 1993)This paper examines the effect of confinement of the compression regions on the behaviour of structural concrete beams with circular cross-sections. The programme of experimental work included eight 200 mm diameter beams ... -
The influence of confining the compression zone in the design of structural concrete beams
(1993)The programme of research described in this thesis has investigated the effect of confinement of the compression regions on the behaviour of structural concrete beams up to failure under the action of static loadings. A ... -
Evaluation of the stiffness of beam and frame elements using system identification techniques
(1993)Traditional methods of~ tructural analysis begin usually by the construction of a mathematical model that best represents the prototype structure. Furthermore, the material and geometric properties of the structure appear ... -
Flexural behavior of beams with confinement
(1995)The principal aim of this paper is to examine, both theoretically and experimentally, the flexural behavior of structural concrete beams in which confinement stirrups have been introduced into the compression regions. The ... -
A methodology for the development of system-level simulation models for analog functional blocks
(Hirzel, 1995)Methods for generating macromodels for analog functional blocks as reported in literature are of limited use in general circuit simulation due to either accuracy or efficiency problems. In this paper we propose a new ... -
Adjustable accuracy behavioral models for system-level analog simulation
(1995)Methods for generating macromodels for analog functional blocks, as reported in literature, are qf limited use in general cir-cuit simulation due to either accuracy or efficiency problems. In this paper we propose a new ... -
Using Fibres to Reduce Tension Cracks and Shrink/Swell Cycles in a Compacted Clay
(ASCE, New Orleans, LA, USA, 1995) -
An approach to manage connectionless services in connection-oriented networks
(IEEE, 1996)We propose a pricing scheme which serves as an instrument for managing connectionless services in connection-oriented communication networks. The scheme is able to allocate network bandwidth in a Pareto-optimal way that ... -
Affordable Housing in Palestine: Proceedings of the International Conference on Affordable Housing in Palestine, Birzeit, November 1-3, 1996
(Faculty of Engineering, Birzeit University, 1996) -
Training for Palestinian engineers to face the challenges of multinational enterprises in the Gaza Strip: Current training initiatives are assessed for Palestinian engineers …
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1996)Continuing education and training is a normal part of all engineers’ professional responsibility and despite the relatively high number of Palestinian universities (six in the West Bank, including an Open University and ... -
A monitoring and controlling system in managing infrastructure projects: Project planning, monitoring and controlling in the typical socio‐economic background of Gaza Strip …
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1996)This paper aims at providing an overview of the monitoring and controlling process, followed by analysing the monitoring and control systems in infrastructure projects in Gaza Strip. The author concludes that it is highly ...
