This document discusses a case study on budget and schedule overruns during the construction phase of projects in India. It identifies several key factors that can lead to schedule and budget overruns based on a review of past studies. For schedule overruns, it finds that lack of equipment maintenance, poor procurement planning, and external factors like strikes are critical influencing factors. For budget overruns, it determines that delays in handing over sites, low labor productivity, and contractor delays in material/equipment delivery are important causes. Price inflation is also identified as a major contributor to cost overruns. The study aims to evaluate factors leading to time and cost overruns on construction projects in India in order to improve project success rates.

The alarming rate of project delays in this country needs urgent attention and resolution as one project delay leads to another therefore affecting the growth of any economy or profit-making organization. This alarming rate would possibly go out of one’s hand if strategies are not put in place to curb these phenomena. The Objectives of this research is to critically identify and evaluate the setbacks or factors causing delays in completing projects on time and its effect. The study narrowed its arrows on Prime Ghana projects executed in the country and it was thus conducted with the usage of questionnaires to solicit for the required data for processing. Results from the study divulge that the actual sources of delays in project delivery are; Inadequate financial resources of clients, delays in honoring payment for work done, underestimation of project duration, poor communication between contracting parties, complexity, difficulties in accessing bank credit (client); change orders during construction and others. It was recommended that, initial proper planning and controlling is essential to the client to have proper action plan, procurement plan, and budget plan prepared before commencement of project. Payment schedule must be agreed by the parties involved. On the part of the contractor adequate knowledge of project management, principles, tools and techniques is required to reduce delays. Consultants must plan very well to ensure that contract processes are duly followed, thus approval of drawings, documentation, and other things to reduce variation during construction. They should monitor their assigned work very well by insisting that corrections are done at the appropriate time to reduce or avoid rework.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
