Bed Capacity

The system dynamics approach was developed by Jay Forrester from MIT during 1950s to analyze the complex behavior in administration with computer simulation in social sciences. System dynamics is a form of the systems approach as a methodology to understand the dynamic behavior of complex systems. The basis of system dynamics is to understand how system structures cause system behavior and system events. This chapter aims to develop a system dynamic model. System dynamics approach was adopted to build a bed capacity management model using a software package, Vensim.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Using a non-negative matrix factorisation (NMF) approach, we show how the pair distribution function (PDF) of complex mixtures can be deconvolved into the contributions from the individual phase components and also the interface between phases. Our focus is on the model system Fe||Fe3O4. We establish proof-of-concept using idealised PDF data generated from established theory-driven models of the Fe||Fe3O4 interface. Using X-ray PDF measurements for corroded Fe samples, and employing our newly-developed NMF analysis, we extract the experimental interface PDF (‘iPDF’) for this same system. We find excellent agreement between theory and experiment. The implications of our results in the broader context of interface characterisation for complex functional materials are discussed. </p> </div> </div> </div>

The Future

In this paper we discuss methodological issues pertaining to cognitive modeling of simultaneous interpretation. We briefly introduce the notion of cognition and efforts to model aspects of language-related processing. Previous work identifying cognitive processes in SI is sampled, and empirical SI studies are also mentioned. A rationale for modeling SI cognition follows, and relevant issues are sketched: whom to model, system dynamics, applicable technologies, and various possible processing scenarios. A discussion of evaluation considerations and requisite data resources follows. Throughout, we raise questions that must be addressed by the SI community, among both researchers and practitioners, if modeling SI is to be successfully realized in the future.

Cost Overrun

Penyimpangan biaya adalah fenomena yang sangat sering terjadi dan terkait dengan hampir semua proyek dalam industri konstruksi. Kecenderungan ini semakin meningkat pada proyek-proyek konstruksi yang terletak di daerah dengan aksesibilitas yang relatif sulit. Dalam rangka untuk mencegah dan mengurangi penyimpangan biaya, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi penyimpangan biaya dan termasuk tindakan perbaikan, tindakan pencegahan atau mitigasi penyimpangan biaya pada proyek konstruksi industri. Kuesioner survei dibagikan kepada para profesional dan data dianalisis melalui metode statistik. Dari 74 faktor yang diidentifikasi melalui studi literatur kemudian diklasifikasikan menjadi 13 peristiwa risiko dan 61 sumber risiko. Dengan memanfaatkan metode Delphi dan analisis faktor akhirnya diperoleh 9 peristiwa risiko dan 25 sumber risiko. Selanjutnya, melalui evaluasi risiko, diperoleh rekomendasi untuk pencegahan dan mitigasi dampak dari penyimpangan biaya material dalam proyek konstruksi. Tindakan pencegahan dan mitigasi diperlukan untuk mengurangi penyimpangan biaya. Namun, pada saat yang sama, diperlukan biaya untuk menjalankan tindakan pencegahan dan mitigasi itu sendiri. Sehubungan dengan itu, untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang biaya aktual akhir, digunakan  metode simulasi seperti metoda system dynamics dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dalam bentuk implementasi alokasi biaya dan sumberdaya.Pemilihan metode system dynamics juga disebabkan oleh faktor risiko yang saling berinteraksi satu sama lain dan berubah-ubah menurut waktu tertentu. Hasil dari simulasi model system dynamics menunjukkan bahwa biaya penyimpangan material dapat dikurangi apabila dilakukan intervensi.Kata kunci: cost overrun, proyek konstruksi industri, peristiwa risiko, sumber risiko
