AN INTEGRATED PROJECT EVALUATION TOOL FOR PFI SEAPORT PROJECTSFredy Kurniawan
The evaluation of the financial viability for seaport projects is a critical activity for bidders and governments under traditional procurement or through private finance initiative (PFI). The aim of this research is to assist government agencies in
evaluating bids and making decision efficiently for seaport development projects through the use of an integrated project evaluation tool. The proposed tool is expected to integrate the results of the financial model and the risk sharing strategy. The
integrated project evaluation tool can be mutually used by the government agency and the sponsor(s). This paper discusses the proposed tool to be tested in future study. The research strategy uses literature review, questionnaire surveys, interviews, and document analyses in order to develop the proposed tool. The tool will be tested through case studies and experts’ opinion to validate its applicability and effectiveness. The main conclusion of this paper is that the knowledge gap between the sponsor(s) and the government agency can be improved if the government agency is provided with efficient tools that consider both the financial and the risk factors
affecting a new project.

Analysis of CMOS and MTCMOS Circuits Using 250 Nano Meter Technology csandit
The low-power consumption with less delay time has become an important issue in the recent
trends of VLSI. In these days, the low power systems with high speed are highly preferable
everywhere. Designers need to understand how low-power techniques affect performance
attributes, and have to choose a set of techniques that are consistent with these attributes .The
main objective of this paper is to describe, how to achieve low power consumption with
approximately same delay time in a single circuit. In this paper, we make circuits with CMOS
and MTCMOS techniques and check out its power and delay characteristics. The circuits
designed using MTCMOS technique gives least power consumption.
All the pre-layout simulations have been performed at 250nm technology on tanner EDA tool.

BDPA Cincinnati brought three (3) experienced IT recruiters to the roundtable. They answered all of the questions you’ve always wanted to ask … but, were afraid to do. It was an outstanding opportunity for anyone, from college interns to entry-level IT professionals to experienced technicians, managers, or executives. The audience received the ‘inside scoop’ on what it takes to successfully land a job, promotion, or have a successful career in the IT industry.
Our panel included:
- Karen Cooper (owner, SmartIT)
- Karen Lipscomb (senior talent acquisition manager, L3-Communications)
- Linda Mullen (assistant VP, Fifth Third Bank)
Corporate America is rebounding from the Great Recession and unemployment continues to lag at levels that are much too high in the Black community and the Greater Cincinnati area. As such, we want to lift the curtain of secrecy about the recruitment process so that BDPA members and supporters have every advantage to advance their careers in the IT industry.

The Interview Psych Technique
The night before the interview, spend some time with a friend
or family member, telling them why you would be the best for
the position. Use superlatives galore! The purpose is to put you
in the right frame of mind for the interview, so that you truly
believe you are the best possible candidate for the job. Why is
this so vitally important? See the next item.

25. The Visualization Technique
In preparing for the interview, go through the motions in your
mind. Anticipate the questions that may be asked. Visualize
yourself as confident and self-assured. Not cocky, just confident
in your background and the benefits you can provide the
employer. Play the part over and over again until you feel you
have truly lived it. Visualize your success until it becomes reality.
“Fake it until you make it.”

26. The Show-and-Tell Technique
Telling what you have done is not nearly as
impressive as showing me what you have done.

Event brochures and flyers designed by a Marketing major
Samples of your best lesson plan for an Education major
27. Professional Portfolio- Show and Tell

It draws attention to the key information you want to
convey.
It provides visuals of your qualifications.
It adds to your credibility.
It builds confidence.

better chance you will have to create a long term partnership
with the person or company of your dreams.”

Editor's Notes
Think about what your values are and what your goals are for the internship. Ask questions pertaining to these!
*
*Do not include QR code if submitting electronic resume. Best for networking events, emailing resume as a PDF, submitting resume to someone you know. It will be a case-by-case basis.
Items need to be easily retrievable under pressure. Dividers with tabs can help. If a document could be filed under more than one heading, make extra copies of this document and file it under as many headings as you like, if that makes it easier for your to retrieve it when you are distracted and under pressure.
Include a link to your online portfolio/LinkedIn profile in email signature, on business cards, etc. Example Interviewer: “ This internship requires a strong work ethic and the organizational skills to work on multiple projects at the same time. Can you describe a situation where you had to work on several projects at the same time and what you did to achieve success?” Job Candidate: “Yes, as President of the Entrepreneurial Club last year, I was in charge of developing a strategic plan for the upcoming year. This was a comprehensive plan that established organizational goals and detailed tasks and initiatives for all 7 committees. At the same time, I chaired the philanthropy committee while serving as a student ambassador where I was in charge of organizing the annual community outreach event. Even though both projects were demanding and time‐consuming, I was able to get both tasks completed successfully by prioritizing, evaluating throughout the process, and appropriately delegating. In fact, I would like to show you a few documents that highlight these projects.”
