Horizontal formwork design optimization & selection system using genetic algorithms by Ghowiba, Ramy Mohamed

“…The model is developed using Microsoft Excel 2007 and Evolver 5.5(Palisade Decision tools), which is an excel add in that uses the Evolutionary algorithms (Genetic algorithm) optimization concept. In order to validate the model, the outputted designs were compared with real-life projects design calculation sheets prepared by Acrow Masr formwork company, while the quantity take-offs outputted from the model were compared to manual calculations, and yielded an accuracy of more than 90 percent. …”

Simulation and optimization model for the construction of electrical substations by Fayed, Rania

“…The model is also validated using a real case study and proves its efficiency by attaining a reduction in model time units between simulation and optimization experiments of 10.25% and reduction in total cost of 4.7%. …”

Cash flow optimization for construction engineering portfolios by Ali, Gasser Galal

“…Engagement with a portfolio of large construction projects, like infrastructure projects, makes attention to finance more critical, due to large budgets and long project durations, which also requires attention to the time value of money when the project spans over many years and the work environment has a high inflation rate. This thesis aims at the analysis and optimization of the cash-flow request for large engineering portfolios from the contractor's point of view. …”

The utility of a real-time PCR to detect Leptospira in a routine diagnostic setting by Chanda, Raphael

“…The non-specific amplification had been reported previously in the literature, suggesting the rrs gene is not a good target to use, even when primers are specifically designed to only detect Leptospira rrs. Future work using the assay should include optimizing assay performance using DNA extracted from the ideal clinical samples to detect Leptospira, namely urine and blood of patients clinically suspected to have leptospirosis. …”
