Theoretical and empirical perspectives on failure: An introduction
No full textIn this chapter, the authors begin by reflecting on failure in general before considering the results of a preliminary survey they have conducted on the incidence of failure in cross-disciplinary projects. They provide a brief overview of three key themes emerging from open-ended questions concerning how participants felt failure manifested in their projects. Key themes were categorized under three main headings: institutional failures, praxis failures and individual failures. In the survey responses, results which were seen as having arisen from praxis failure generally related to team members having insufficient skills to work in collaborative, integrative ways, or to a disconnection between the theory and practice of collaborative, integrative work. The chapter also provides an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book. The book provides recommendations and highlights lessons learned to help the reader in their own responses to failure in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary initiatives

No full textThe research presented in this Thesis was carried out at the University of Sheffield under
the supervision of Dr I. C. Pyrah and Dr W. F. Anderson, and Mr G. Leach at British Gas
Engineering Research Station (ERS). The research was financially supported by a British
Gas Research Scholarship and by the Overseas Research Students Awards Scheme.
The Author would like to express his sincere gratitude to his supervisors for their invaluable
help, guidance and encouragement during the development of the research.
The Author is also grateful to Dr S. R. Mi for his interest and assistance throughout the
research. Special thanks also go to Dr S. J. Wheeler for his supervision during the first year
of the research and sound advice in the initial stage of the work.
The Author would like to express his gratitude to all members of the geotechnics group at
the University of Sheffield for the useful discussions and comments. Special thanks and
appreciation are extended to the staff at the ERS, particularly Mr E. Middleton for
providing the data of the field tests and constructive comments.
The laboratory tests were performed at ERS Soils Laboratory for which the Author is
thankful to the laboratory staff. The Author must also thank British Gas for providing the
computer hardware and software for performing the numerical analyses, and the printing
facilities to produce the Thesis. Thanks also go to Mr D. Reay and Mr B. Bellwood at the
Gas Research Centre of British Gas for ensuring continuous financial support throughout
the award period.
Finally, the Author wishes to thank his family and friends for their endless support and
encouragement throughout the period of study in the UK. Without them, this Thesis may
never have been completed

An Improved Implementation and Inalysis of the Diaz and O'Rourke Algorithm for Finding the Simpson Point of a Convex Polygon
No full textThis paper focuses on the well-known Diaz and O'Rourke [M. Diaz and J. O'Rourke, Algorithms for computing the center of area of a convex polygon, Visual Comput. 10 (1994), 432–442.] iterative search algorithm to find the Simpson Point of a market, described by a convex polygon. In their paper, they observed that their algorithm did not appear to converge pointwise, and therefore, modified it to do so. We first present an enhancement of their algorithm that improves its time complexity from O(log2?) to O(n log 1/?). This is then followed by a proof of pointwise convergence and derivation of explicit bounds on convergence rates of our algorithm. It is also shown that with an appropriate interpretation, our convergence results extend to all similar iterative search algorithms to find the Simpson Point – a class that includes the original unmodified Diaz–O'Rourke algorithm. Finally, we explore how our algorithm and its convergence guarantees might be modified to find the Simpson Point when the demand distribution is non-uniform
