The line-of-balance ~LOB! method of scheduling is well suited to projects that are composed of activities of a linear and repetitive nature. The objective of this study is to set down the basic principles that can be used in the development of a computerized LOB scheduling system that overcomes the problems associated with existing systems and creates solutions to problems encountered in the implementation of repetitive-unit construction. The challenges associated with LOB scheduling include developing an algorithm that handles project acceleration efficiently and accurately, recognizing time and space dependencies, calculating LOB quantities, dealing with resource and milestone constraints, incorporating the occasional nonlinear and discrete activities, defining a radically new concept of criticalness, including the effect of the learning curve, developing an optimal strategy to reduce project duration by increasing the rate of production of selected activities, performing cost optimization, and improving the visual presentation of LOB diagrams.

A new and stereospecific synthesis of an inositol analogue: bis-homoinositol Kara, Y; Balcı, Metin (2003-03-17) The photooxygenation of trans-8-(acetyloxy)bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,4-dien-7-yl acetate afforded the bicyclic endoperoxide. Reduction of the endoperoxide with thiourea followed by acetylation gave the corresponding tetraacetate. The KMnO4 oxidation of the tetraacetate followed by acetylation gave dihydroxytetraacetate Ammonolysis of tetraacetate afforded the bis-homoinositol, bicyclo[4.2.0]octane-2,3,4,5,7,8-hexol.
Reaction of pentacarbonyl(eta(2)-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne)tungsten(0) with tricyclohexylphosphine: X-ray structure of pentacarbonyltricyclohexylphosphinetungsten(0) Demircan, O; Özkar, Saim; Ulku, D; Yildirim, LT (2003-12-15) The pentacarbonyl(?(2)-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne)tungsten(0), W(CO)(5)(?(2)-btmse), reacts with tricyclohexylphosphine, PCy3, to yield two stable endproducts which could be isolated and fully characterized by using the single crystal X-ray diffractometry and the MS, IR, and NMR spectroscopy: W(CO)(5)(PCy3) and trans-W(CO)(4)(PCy3)(2). The former complex is the alkyne substitution product, while the latter one is formed from the conversion of its labile cis-isomer, which is generated by further reaction of t...
Modeling dissolved oxygen dynamics and hypoxia Peña, M. A.; Katsev, S.; Oguz, T.; Gilbert, D. (Copernicus GmbH, 2010-3-9) <jats:p>Abstract. Hypoxia conditions are increasing throughout the world, influencing biogeochemical cycles of elements and marine life. Hypoxia results from complex interactions between physical and biogeochemical processes, which can not be understood by observations alone. Models are invaluable tools at studying system dynamics, generalizing discrete observations and predicting future states. They are also useful as management tools for evaluating site-specific responses to management scenarios. Here we ...
A new antiaromatic compound: 1,4-biphenylenequinone synthesis and trapping reactions: can a quinone unit stabilize the cyclobutadiene? Kilic, H; Balcı, Metin (2001-12-03) The photooxygenation of 4a,8b-dihydrobiphenylene affords an endoperoxide. NEt3-catalyzed rearrangement of this endoperoxide gave the corresponding hydroxy enone, while the CoTPP-catalyzed rearrangement afforded a bisepoxide. MnO2 oxidation of hydroxy enol leads to 4a,8b-dihydrobiphenylene-1,4-dione. The NIBS bromination of this dione produces mono- and dibromides. NEt3-supported elimination of monobromide and zinc elimination of dibromide afforded the target compound, 1,4-biphenylenequinone, which was trapp...
Theoretical aspects of some 4-[2,6-substituted-9H-purin-9-yl]-2-cyclopentene-1-methanol derivatives as anti-HIV agents Türker, Burhan Lemi; Sudagidan, M (2000-01-01) Some (-)-(1S,4R) -4-[2-amino-6-(substituted)-9H-purin-9-yl]-2-cyclopentene-1-methanol derivatives have been considered for semiempirical treatment at the level of AM1 type calculations. Certain theoretical structure-activity relationship were investigated.
