Do or Die Project Management: Lessons Learned from a Zero-Day Project 1
2015Co-Authors: Elizabeth A. RodgersAbstract:Projects take on a number of shapes, forms and lives of their own. Some are more successful than others depending on outside factors. The “Do or Die Project Management: Lessons Learned from a Zero-Day Project” Project gets that name from the main feature of the Project: the no float execution time. Execution time affected all aspects of the Project including planning, execution, cost, risk, communication and closeout. The lessons learned from this Project Point to key factors, such as risk and communications management, which allowed it to be successful and Points to factors that could have been detrimental. By examining these lessons Project managers will be able to apply key insights to future Projects that have similarities to “Zero-Day.”

a methodology for web usage mining and its application to target group identification
Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 2004Co-Authors: Sandro Araya, Mariano Silva, Richard WeberAbstract:Web usage mining is an important and fast developing area of web mining where a lot of research has been done already. Recently, companies got aware of its potentials, especially for applications in marketing. A structured methodology is, however, a crucial requirement for a successful practical application of web usage mining. This publication provides such a methodology that is based on suggestions from literature and own experience from various web mining Projects. Its application in a Chilean bank shows how a combined use of data from a data warehouse and web data can contribute to improve marketing activities. The benefits from this Project Point at the huge potential web usage mining has not only in financial services.

PIRATE Project: Point-Of-Care, Informatics-Based Randomised Controlled Trial for Decreasing Overuse of Antibiotic Therapy in Gram-negative Bacteraemia
BMJ open, 2017Co-Authors: Angela Huttner, Werner C. Albrich, Pierre-yves Bochud, Angèle Gayet-ageron, Anne Rossel, Elodie Von Dach, Stéphan Juergen Harbarth, Laurent KaiserAbstract:Introduction Antibiotic overuse drives antibiotic resistance. The optimal duration of antibiotic therapy for Gram-negative bacteraemia (GNB), a common community and hospital-associated infection, remains unknown and unstudied via randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Methods and analysis This investigator-initiated, multicentre, non-inferiority, informatics-based Point-of-care RCT will randomly assign adult hospitalised patients receiving microbiologically efficacious antibiotic(s) for GNB to (1) 14 days of antibiotic therapy, (2) 7 days of therapy or (3) an individualised duration determined by clinical response and 75% reduction in peak C reactive protein (CRP) values. The randomisation will occur in equal proportions (1:1:1) on day 5 (±1) of efficacious antibiotic therapy as determined by antibiogram; patients, their physicians and study investigators will be blind to treatment duration allocation until the day of antibiotic discontinuation. Immunosuppressed patients and those with GNB due to complicated infections (endocarditis, osteomyelitis, etc) and/or non-fermenting bacilli ( Acinetobacter spp, Burkholderia spp, Pseudomonas spp) Brucella spp, Fusobacterium spp or polymicrobial growth with Gram-positive organisms will be ineligible. The primary outcome is incidence of clinical failure at day 30; secondary outcomes include clinical failure, all-cause mortality and incidence of Clostridiumdifficile infection in the 90-day study period. An interim safety analysis will be performed after the first 150 patients have been followed for ≤30 days. Given a chosen margin of 10%, the required sample size to determine non-inferiority is roughly 500 patients. Analyses will be performed on both intention-to-treat and per-protocol populations. Ethics and dissemination Ethics approval was obtained from the cantonal ethics committees of all three participating sites. Results of the main trial and each of the secondary endPoints will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Trial registration number This trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03101072; pre-results).

Project Point Pedro: A multidisciplinary design study of the Point Pedro fishery harbour
2017Co-Authors: Fiona Hoogsteder, Eric Engelhart, Annemieke Vlaming, Nick Van Den Berg, Tijmen BlomAbstract:In Sri Lanka, the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam waged a civil war between 1983 and 2009. During this period the social and economic development in the north and east of the country was disrupted. Due to this disruption a development opportunity for this region is the expansion of the fishery industry. In 2016, the Sri Lankan government proposed the Northern Province Sustainable Fisheries Development Project, in which the construction of a harbour at Point Pedro in the Jaffna District is included. This harbour should become the second largest fishery harbour in Sri Lanka. This report covers the design study of the Point Pedro harbour Project, the goal of this study is to design a safe, economically efficient and socially accepted harbour at Point Pedro. To achieve this goal, the following research question “How can safety, economic efficiency and environmental impact be combined optimally in a harbour design for Point Pedro in the Jaffna District?” is answered. In figure XX, the final design of the harbour can be seen. This design is focused on the optimal combination between safety, economic efficiency and environmental impact. Because these criteria are conflicting, they are prioritized as follows: (1) safety, (2) economic efficiency and (3) environmental impact. Safety is provided by constructing breakwaters around the harbour, providing sheltered water conditions in the harbour basin. Also, the harbour entrance is constructed in a way that monsoon waves cannot directly intrude into the basin. Economic efficiency is accounted for by constructing the quay wall close to the central located fish processing facilities. This optimizes the supply chain, resulting in a smaller loss in the fish production (compared to the current situation). The costs are optimized by reusing all dredged material inside the breakwater or for land reclamation. Additionally, the location of the harbour entrance is minimizing the sailing routes as much as possible, without creating safety issues due to wave intrusion. Finally, the negative effects of social impact are limited by involving local fishermen and residents during the entire development process. Because these stakeholders are potential blockers of the Project, it is important to include their opinions in the design. This can also be done by broadening the scope, in which touristic facilities and accommodations can be included in the Project. Other negative impacts of the harbour can be either mitigated or minimized. However, because the environmental impact is determined as the least important criteria, it is not able to solve every issue. This design is considered to be the most optimal combination for the harbour design of Point Pedro, regarding the criteria of safety, economic efficiency and environmental impact. It is recommended to EML Consultants that three characteristics of the proposed design should be implemented in their final design for Point Pedro: (1) apply building on the reef for land reclamation inside the harbour, (2) cluster the fish processing facilities near the unloading quay walls, because it optimizes the fish supply chain and reduces fish loss, and (3) construct the jetties for large boats (in the east of the harbour) as proposed, because it optimizes manoeuverability inside the harbour using minimal space. The final recommendation is to perform additional research to make a more accurate design, as the main limitation of the report is the limited amount of available data. Additional research should be done in the fields of; wave data, ground conditions over the entire harbour basin, cost estimation and sedimentation.
