The maintenance of bridges as a key element in transportation infrastructure has become a major concern due to increasing traffic volumes, deterioration of existing bridges and well-publicised bridge failures. The main goal of this study is to develop a requirements-driven decision support methodology for remediation of concrete bridges with the aim of maintaining bridge assets within acceptable limits of safety, serviceability and sustainability.The proposed model includes two phases:
Phase one is focused on condition assessment and priority ranking of bridge projects which makes use of an integrated priority index addressing a variety of factors. Phase two includes a multi criteria decision making technique which is able to select the best remediation strategy at both project and network level. The modified Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) is used as a decision analysis tool that employs the eigenvector approach of the Analytical Hierarchy
Process (AHP) for criteria weighting

Synergies between mitigation and adaptation..ppt glf nov 16Liz Kahurani
There is growing recognition of the potential for jointly achieving climate change mitigation and adaptation through land management. Landscape approaches to enhancing multi-functionality have been identified as a promising pathway to synergies between mitigation and adaptation besides helping achieve other livelihood needs through ecosystem services and functions provision. This presentation explores what is known and gaps in understanding of synergies and trade-offs. It also explores the necessary enabling conditions that help promote synergies in order to realize the benefits of the approach. We build on an ex-post analysis of the Ngitili systems in Tanzania and selected examples from agroforestry practices to inform the discussion.
Outsourcing can and does work well when done by design, via a strategy that will ensure the optimal blend of internal and external resources and capabilities. This strategy must include the appropriate governance structures to effectively manage the client demand and services provided by third parties. When done well, outsourcing can recognize and embrace the need for change. Without the analysis and forethought driven by the development of a strategy, outsourcing can be no more than short-term, tactical first aid.
The document provides a history of El Paso Country Club from its founding in 1906. It describes how 11 prominent citizens formed the club and established the first 9-hole golf course. The original clubhouse was a small adobe building located where Dudley Field baseball park used to be. Membership grew and the club relocated in 1908 to a site leased from Fort Bliss, with many army officers as members. Though conditions were primitive, the club thrived as the city grew in the early 20th century.
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of exercise on memory and thinking abilities in older adults. The study found that regular exercise can help reduce the decline in thinking abilities that often occurs with age. Older adults who exercised regularly performed better on cognitive tests and brain scans showed they had greater activity in important areas for memory and learning compared to less active peers.
The document discusses generation gaps in social media usage. It notes that the world's population over 65 is rising significantly and will account for 25% of the EU population by 2020. While new technologies can help older adults stay active, there are digital divides between age groups. Younger "digital natives" are more comfortable with technologies while older "digital immigrants" face barriers like less technology skills and usefulness. Data shows older adults use social media like Facebook less frequently than younger users, have fewer friends, and are less motivated users. However, their social media usage is increasing and with the right support like help from family, easy to use interfaces, relevant content, and privacy controls, older adults can benefit from new technologies.
The document provides tips for giving a memorable presentation in 3 sentences or less:
1. Start strong with a clear theme and structure, present main ideas and reinforcing points, and finish strong by summarizing and reminding the audience of 3 things to remember.
2. Be authentic by focusing on yourself rather than presentation materials, as the audience will remember the presenter rather than visual aids.
3. Stand out from other presenters by not over-relying on PowerPoint and instead engaging the audience through spoken words alone.
