Abstract Self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) are special vehicles designed for transporting massive objects. It is becoming popular to transport offshore structure modules onboard using SPMTs in recent years. The operation is a high-risk task which needs to be carefully planned. This paper aimed at developing a load-out simulation program that can be utilized to improve the existing planning method. To achieve this goal, the risks in load-outs were addressed, and an analysis procedure was established based on the principle of SPMT hydraulic system and ship hydrostatics. We built the simulation program on the basis of the analysis procedure. It enables users to practice load-out operations in a virtual environment. By using the program, engineers can obtain an overview of the load-out process and a clear knowledge of the risks that will arise. The load-out plan can be made, verified, and optimized beforehand, which is quite beneficial to minimize the risks and get well prepared for the operation.

International projects with teams in the virtual environment (IPTVE) are known as complex and high risk projects, these features being considered as significant obstacles to project success. Applying the appropriate risk management methodology could increase their success rate, becoming a fundamental tool for decision making. Research on IPTVE management risks is scarce, focused on specific sectors as software development or construction, without taking into account the differences between traditional and international projects. Thereby, risk management within IPTVE becomes a necessary approach for the performance in managing international projects. This article aims to improve the risk management process within IPTVE, by proposing a flexible theoretical model of the process.

The critical need to identify children with hearing loss and provide treatment at the earliest possible age has become increasingly apparent in recent years (Northern & Downs, 1978). Reduction of the auditory signal during the critical language-learning period can severely limit the child's potential for developing a complete, effective communication system. Identification and treatment of children having handicapping conditions at an early age has gained impetus through the Handicapped Children's Early Education Program (HCEEP) projects funded by the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped (BEH).
