Time & Schedule, Submittals, Site visits, Testing and InspectionGalala University
Design scheduling involves estimating the time required for each phase of a project from conceptual planning through construction. The standard phases include schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, and construction administration. Estimating time gets more predictable as the project progresses from schematic design to construction documents. The critical path method (CPM) uses a network diagram to plan construction activities and identify their dependencies to establish a schedule. CPM identifies the critical path of longest duration and allows float for non-critical activities. Fast-tracking can shorten the schedule but requires close coordination and carries risks of oversights and errors. Submittals involve contractors providing shop drawings, product data and samples for architect review within a reasonable timeframe like 10 working days.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.

There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

10 Benefits an EPCR Software should Bring to EMS Organizations Traumasoft LLC
The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments. It should provide more than just a form for entering and a database for storing information. It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.

I’ll be reviewing some of our design challenges.This project is a pilot study on “Best Value” Contractor SelectionThe process was traditional in that we had a program and a space to work.UCSF’s Design & Construction Team provided a layout, which worked well.Our first look at the space however showed us we had a long way to go.
The goal to add another OR while not disrupting operations was difficult. We began with a 60 year old building so full of systems we had no idea what it all was.Ceilings had to be raised to 9‘ 6“ to accommodate new systems. Everything was to be squeezed so tight there was no room for guesswork.Of course it had to come in on time and on budget.
The 1st phase was to empty out the space and build a new HVAC system over a weekend.A the core storage was rebuilt.Additional storage space was built on the floor above.
In the 2nd phase We built a new 600 SF Robotic OR with an attached Robot garage.The new waste holding room and stair access was installed.A temporary front desk was installed to redirect traffic during phase 3.
3rd phase Shut down the front desk and rebuilt the existing cystoscopy room. Shift the main entry corridor and rebuilt the storage roomTwo staff toilets, offices for anesthesia, and a scheduling office was added.
In the 4th Phase We completed the connecting work, removed the barriers and added two managers offices.
The project began like many others; we toured existing facilities to develop a “ baseline” of expectations. Recent OR remodeling at the Parnassus campus was evaluated. We heard a lot of “don’t do that again” ! commentsBringing together the OR staff for input was important to building consensus.
CLICK ONCE* We hired a laser scanner to build a 3D “point cloud” of stuff above the ceiling.This information was then imported into our 3D Building Information Model (BIM).Accuracy was within ¼”. We found columns off by 3” and ductwork in need of repair.Specifications included allowances for repair work we knew would be required.
The new OR meant a 20% increase in surgical volume.We did acomputer simulation to study the before and after using MedModel software.Our findings uncovered what needed to be done to build another OR.
The central core was a mixture of old and new storage systems.Most of which was inefficiently utilized. . . and not flexible.
The new core is flexible, modular and can be changed out quickly.Some of the inventory was moved back to SPD in the basement.Some little used material was stored in a new store room on the floor above.This expense had a payback of less than a year by reducing time spent “setting up” cases.
As we laid out each space the solution was tested to make sure that all parts fit together wellThis animation tests the operation of bringing in a patient to the new room on a full sized bed.BIM and 3D gave us the tool to “sell” our concepts to the staff and surgeons.Shutdowns, phasing, and weekend work was tested and documented in the drawings and specs.When the CD”s were complete we turned the process over to our “ Best Value” ContractorRick Shawfull (schaffel)
Thought we should show a couple of cool demo shots – Highlight Wood framingUC Facilities Team received certification to enter the abatement area for field instructionsRight after demo there are 2 main priorities.Get the field verification of the existing systems for modelingGet the shutdown notifications in to facilities to start the investigations
After Demo there are 2 main items:Start of BIM ModelingStart of notification of shutdownsLead in to Bruce

Previously design and construction of buildings has relied on 2d drawings for representing the work to be done, and used to manage the facility afterward. The limitations of 2d drawings are: (1) they require multiple views to depict a 3D object in adequate detail for construction, causing redundancy and possible errors; (2) they are stored as two dimensional documents that are only interpretable by some people and they cannot be interpreted by computers.The past method of designing a building once for contract drawings, then developing a set of detailed drawings for shop fabrication is being recognized as a considerable amount waste and inefficiency.MEP or Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing drawing coordination may begin in the 2d stage, before the building envelope has been completely modeled, MEP software creates objects in 3d, which are then referenced into the building model.There may be multiple building models if there are multiple phases of construction to be done.Coordination of the MEP drawings in 2d involves overlaying of the drawings say on a light table then manually examining and identifying clashes or conflicts. This process is very time consuming.
Computer modeling has reached a level of sophistication, that allows “virtual” construction of plans and graphics. These plans can be precise and can include graphicallyinteractive depictions of a building and its properties in multiple dimensions (3d) before being constructed.These capabilities also facilitate much improved coordination and collaboration. Building models tremendously facilitate this process. A 3D model is easier for all parties to interpret and visualize. Design or fabrication work can be coordinated in person or at a distance using web conferencing tools such as Webex and GoToMeeting and virtually walking through the 3D model.Building models save costs, construction time, and support better building performance and control. BIM can beneficially impact all parties in the construction process - designers, engineers, contractors, owners, as well as facility operators. (NOT USED BELOW THIS)Once the project is completed, this same information can be handed off to Facility Managersand Engineers for operation. Design-build and other forms of architect-contractor teaming have been recognized as more efficient - in terms of cost, time, and for reducing the potential for litigation.
Design-build and other forms of architect-contractor teaming have been recognized as more efficient - in terms of cost, time, and for reducing the potential for litigation to all parties.(Do Not Use Below This)Let me ask with this question? Who has been involved in a BIM project or projects, small or large?How was it?Would you say it was a success?What would you like to do different next time?
BIM is taking the place of conventional architectural drawings and the associated print and digitized documentation. BIM allows for a more complete handoff of building information to facility executives for improved quality operations and maintenance.BIM is able to meet the overlapping needs of not only design and construction but also the Facility Managers.Why BIM is Important?As a building representation, BIM technology is far superior to drawings. As this technology becomes more mainstream, the value will be apparent.
