Competition aspect of construction alliances
(MCB University Press. http//:www.emerald.library.com/ft, 2001)
The primary purpose of forming alliance in the construction industry is to pool together the resources of the participating partners in order to form a team that has a competitive advantage. Each partner in an alliance has ...
A fourier method of determining the speed fluctuation coefficient of a general slider-crank mechanism
(University of Botswana, 2001)
In this paper a method is presented which enables the solution of the equation of motion of the slider-crank mechanism. Expansion of functions into Fourier series is used in this method, whereby the solution of the equation ...
An investigation into the possibility of establishing a building index for Botswana
(University of Botswana, 2001)
Without cost information, project planning is difficult for clients just as pricing of tenders is difficult for construction firms. No agency or organization in Botswana has endeavoured to collect, compile and analyze ...
Theoritical analysis of an offset single-stroke ram press for sunflower oil extraction
(International Symposium on Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (IFToMM), 2001)
The single-stroke ram press machine is widely used for sunflower oil extraction in African countries. It is manually operated, low speed machine constructed on the basis of slider-crank mechanism. The paper presents a ...
Oxide of nitrogen in diesel engines: formation, effects and control
(University of Botswana, 2001)
Diesel engines are used in heavy duty applications because of their high effeciency an reliability. However, oxides of nitrogen emissions remain a major concern. In diesel engines, fuel combustion is responsible for a major ...
A practical model for development of viable engineering education institutions in Africa: With a focus on management and quality of engineering education
(University of Botswana, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, http://ajol.info/index.php/bjt, 2001-10)
One of the critical elements that determine the competitiveness of nations is the population density of, and quality of, its engineers. This view has been corroborated by researchers such as Bilich (1989), Garelli et al ...
