An Integrated Infrastructure Delivery Model for Developing Economies Planning and Delivery Management Attributes

An Integrated Infrastructure Delivery Model for Developing Economies Planning and Delivery Management Attributes

This book explores the attributes of an integrated model for infrastructure delivery as a means to achieve high impact investing sustainable growth and development in a developing economy. An Integrated Infrastructure Delivery Model for Developing Economies: Planning and Delivery Management Attributes is premised on the understanding that one of the most significant barriers to efficient and effective infrastructure delivery is the nature and extent of fragmentation in the ways in which infrastructure projects are planned designed and delivered. Using a Delphi method the research presented in this book examines the infrastructure delivery models and practices that have been employed in South Africa and other developing countries and in doing so presents eight attributes for integrated infrastructure delivery. These are: (i) developing a common vision for the community (ii) stakeholder participation (iii) integrated project development and scoping (iv) access to planning information (v) cross-sectoral planning (vi) integrated infrastructure master plans (vii) statutory and regulatory compliance and (viii) integrated contractual frameworks. The book presents a practical model that can serve as a guide and a manual for project planning and development to achieve integrated infrastructure delivery in developing economies. The proposed model should serve as a framework to inform future planning and programming of infrastructure projects within the public sector space. Furthermore the application of the model will help resolve the problems of fragmentation and lack of coordination in how infrastructure projects are planned and implemented. This book will be beneficial to infrastructure practitioners policymakers researchers and academics who pursue best practice models to improve the delivery and management of infrastructure. | An Integrated Infrastructure Delivery Model for Developing Economies Planning and Delivery Management Attributes

Rhetorical Delivery and Digital Technologies Networks Affect Electracy

Rhetorical Delivery and Digital Technologies Networks Affect Electracy

This book theorizes digital logics and applications for the rhetorical canon of delivery. Digital writing technologies invite a re-evaluation about what delivery can offer to rhetorical studies and writing practices. Sean Morey argues that what delivery provides is access to the unspeakable unconscious elements of rhetoric not primarily through emotion or feeling as is usually offered by previous studies but affect a domain of sensation implicit in the (overlooked) original Greek term for delivery hypokrisis. Moreover the primary means for delivering affect is both the logic and technology of a network construed as modern digital networks but also networks of associations between humans and nonhuman objects. Casting delivery in this light offers new rhetorical trajectories that promote its incorporation into digital networked-bodies. Given its provocative and broad reframing of delivery this book provides original robust ways to understand rhetorical delivery not only through a lens of digital writing technologies but all historical means of enacting delivery offering implications that will ultimately affect how scholars of rhetoric will come to view not only the other canons of rhetoric but rhetoric as a whole. | Rhetorical Delivery and Digital Technologies Networks Affect Electracy

Routledge Handbook of Integrated Project Delivery

Routledge Handbook of Integrated Project Delivery

The concept of integrated project delivery (IPD) has evolved as a result of the need for highly expert teams of people to collaborate to deliver extremely complex projects to manage expectations about delivery speed changes in governance standards and to take advantage of and manage expectations raised by rapid advances in technology. All this demands effective change management. This is the first Handbook to contextualise and thematically explore the concept with an emphasis on rigorous practical and theoretical validation. The Handbook is divided into five sections each with a focus on several interconnected themes including: An introduction to IPD concepts. The foundational elements and characteristics of IPD. People culture and collaboration as key ingredients to successful and effective IPD. Technology and process aspects of relational contracting forms such as IPD. New and relevant perspectives to IPD that have received scant attention to date. Aspects and emerging issues that are rarely consciously considered in traditional project delivery due to the commercial imperative that drives firms and client organisations. The Handbook offers both discussions of these key themes and also in-depth research into construction and other industry project procurement and delivery that spans decades. In addition the Handbook presents ‘best’ and ‘better’ practice but also includes insights into cutting-edge experimental developments in technology and practices where proof of concept is currently being developed into emerging practice. Contributing authors in this Handbook collaborate with the co-editors to draw together an integrated set of chapters that align to deliver a coherent narrative of the IPD concept. It is an invaluable reference for practitioners and academics alike and useful as core course content for numerous degree programs of study and professional development courses. | Routledge Handbook of Integrated Project Delivery

Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation Methods

Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation Methods

Nanotechnology has the potential to change every part of our lives. Today nanotechnology-based products are used in many areas and one of the most important areas is drug delivery. Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems not only provide controlled delivery of drugs and improved drug solubility but also improve drug efficiency and reduce side effects via targeting mechanisms. However compared with conventional drug delivery systems few nanoparticle-based products are on the market and almost all are nontargeted or only passively targeted systems. In addition obtaining targeted nanoparticle systems is quite complex and requires several evaluation mechanisms. This book discusses the production characterization regulation and currently marketed targeted nanoparticle systems in a broad framework. It provides an overview of targeted nanoparticles’ (i) in vitro characterization such as particle size stability ligand density and type; (ii) in vivo behavior for different targeting areas such as tumor brain and vagina; and (iii) current advances in this field including clinical trials and regulation processes. | Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation Methods
