Using analytic network process to predict the performance of international construction joint ventures
Ozorhon, Beliz; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-07-01)
Strategic collaborations such as joint ventures (JVs) have become an important way of exploiting business opportunities for construction companies. However, such entities are difficult to manage due to their composite structures, which entail diverse organizational cultures, styles, and objectives. Therefore, measurement of JV performance has been an interesting research topic although there is no consensus on the definition, measures, and variables of performance yet. Considering the inherent complexities ...
Using Content and Text Classification Methods to Characterize Team Performance
Swigger, Kathleen; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Brazile, Robert; Dafoulas, Georges; Cabrera, Victor Lopez; Serçe, Fatma Cemile (2010-08-26)
Because of the critical role that communication plays in a team's ability to coordinate action, the measurement and analysis of online transcripts in order to predict team performance is becoming increasingly important in domains such as global software development. Current approaches rely on human experts to classify and compare groups according to some prescribed categories, resulting in a laborious and error-prone process. To address some of these issues, the authors compared and evaluated two methods fo...
Using technology in preventing and remedying seventh grade students' misconceptions in forming and solving linear equations
Erek, Görkem; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Educational Sciences (2008)
The purposes of this study was to investigate seventh-grade students’ misconceptions related to forming and solving equations and examine the role of technology use in preventing and remedying these misconceptions. A group of 18 seventh grade students was given a diagnostic test before they started the equations unit to determine their misconceptions related to the topic. Students studied equations for 6 weeks and half of the instruction took place in the computer lab where they used various electronic mani...
Using mathematical models to understand the effect of nanoscale roughness on protein adsorption for improving medical devices
Ercan, Batur; Carpenter, Joseph; Webster, Thomas J. (Informa UK Limited, 2013-01-01)
Surface roughness and energy significantly influence protein adsorption on to biomaterials, which, in turn, controls select cellular adhesion to determine the success and longevity of an implant. To understand these relationships at a fundamental level, a model was originally proposed by Khang et al to correlate nanoscale surface properties (specifically, nanoscale roughness and energy) to protein adsorption, which explained the greater cellular responses on nanostructured surfaces commonly reported in the ...
Using the science writing heuristic approach to promote student understanding in chemical changes and mixtures
Kıngır, Sevgi; Geban, Ömer; Günel, Murat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011)
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach on 9th grade students’ understanding of chemistry concepts and chemistry achievement in chemical changes and mixtures units. Four 9th grade classes taught by the two chemistry teachers from a public high school were selected for the study. Each teacher’s one intact class was assigned as the experimental group and the other class was assigned as the control group. Students in the experimental group were...
