It's no big secret that creative people tend to be a little bit... off. But writers are our own special brand of unapproachable, misanthropic weirdo. I explain why. Kind of. Jerks.

Envoiremental Concerns in Right-of-Way - An International Symposium Series RO...Ricardo Magno Antunes
This symposium began at Mississippi State University in 1976, and was subsequently held in Ann Arbor, MI in 1979; San Diego, CA in 1982; Indianapolis, IN in 1987; Montreal, Québec in 1993, New Orleans, LA in 1997; Calgary, Alberta in 2000; Saratoga Springs, NY in 2004; and in Portland, OR in 2009; and Phoenix, AZ in 2012.
The symposiums address environmental issues in rights-of-way planning and management, and provide a forum for information exchange among environmental professionals from a wide variety of agencies, industries and academic organizations.
The Eleventh International Symposium will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, September 20-23, 2015.

Building a Better NZ conference 2014
The Building a Better NZ conference will bring together a wide range of industry stakeholders including researchers, industry leaders, policy makers, innovators, designers and manufacturers to focus on research findings and case studies of best practice. Aligned strongly with the New Zealand Building Research Strategy the conference will bring together local and international speakers to share their knowledge and insights on innovative, high performance and low impact approaches to developing, maintaining and retrofitting the built environment. Spanning policy, planning and design, through to construction, maintenance, refurbishment, reuse or deconstruction, the focus of the conference will be the future of New Zealand’s built environment and how to transform the building sector to deliver on the needs of future New Zealand.

A Production Model for Construction: A Theoretical Framework
The building construction industry faces challenges, such as increasing project complexity and scope requirements, but shorter deadlines. Additionally, economic uncertainty and rising business competition with a subsequent decrease in profit margins for the industry demands the development of new approaches to construction management. However, the building construction sector relies on practices based on intuition and experience, overlooking the dynamics of its production system. Furthermore, researchers maintain that the construction industry has no history of the application of mathematical approaches to model and manage production. Much work has been carried out on how manufacturing practices apply to construction projects, mostly lean principles. Nevertheless, there has been little research to understand the fundamental mechanisms of production in construction. This study develops an in-depth literature review to examine the existing knowledge about production models and their characteristics in order to establish a foundation for dynamic production systems management in construction. As a result, a theoretical framework is proposed, which will be instrumental in the future development of mathematical production models aimed at predicting the performance and behaviour of dynamic project-based systems in construction.

Identification of repetitive processes at steady- and unsteady-state: Transfe...Ricardo Magno Antunes
Projects are finite terminating endeavors with distinctive outcomes, usually, occurring under transient conditions. Nevertheless, most estimation, planning, and scheduling approaches overlook the dynamics of project-based systems in construction. These approaches underestimate the influence of process repetitiveness, the variation of learning curves and the conservation of processes’ properties. So far, estimation and modeling approaches have enabled a comprehensive understanding of repetitive processes in projects at steady-state. However, there has been little research to understand and develop an integrated and explicit representation of the dynamics of these processes in either transient, steady or unsteady conditions. This study evaluates the transfer function in its capability of simultaneously identifying and representing the production behavior of repetitive processes in different state conditions. The sample data for this research comes from the construction of an offshore oil well and describes the performance of a particular process by considering the inputs necessary to produce the outputs. The result is a concise mathematical model that satisfactorily reproduces the process’ behavior. Identifying suitable modeling methods, which accurately represent the dynamic conditions of production in repetitive processes, may provide more robust means to plan and control construction projects based on a mathematically driven production theory.COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF URBAN TREE MANAGEMENT IN GOIÂNIA

Nerdy chicks are everywhere. We buy lots of stuff, we're creative, we're interesting, and we love hot shoes as much as the next all-American girl. So why doesn't anyone sell us anything good, and why do our coworkers think we're so weird?
