The Impact

Mobile computing technology has an enormous potential in civil engineering, mainly in the field of construction management. This paper presents an approach by using mobile computing in a civil engineering construction project, exploring how information can be exchanged at a construction site, and how billing of quantities (BOQ), drawings and specifications are shared for the benefit of the project. One of the major obstacles in using information technology (IT) when applied to civil engineering is due to the dynamic changes in the construction activities and the diversity of construction methods as compared to other industries. This has proved to be a great disadvantage when trying to give construction sites adequate IT support. Computers require infrastructure, which can be transferred easily to the head office, but rarely to the construction site itself in a systematic way. Therefore, the impact of IT on the way the construction industry actually works has not been significantly utilized. This paper consists of two main parts. The first part defines the concept of mobile computing, describes some recent research, and stresses the potential for the construction industry. The second part is focuses on an approach, implementing mobile computing in a real construction site.

Considering that currently published oxaliplatin (OXPt) analytical methods require complex procedures and equipment, the objective of this paper was to present the validation of a simple, rapid, precise, and specific isocratic HPLC method for quantification of OXPt. Such method will be essential during the future development of innovative, topical drug formulations for the treatment of mucosal and skin cancers. Validated method demonstrated OXPt separation without interference from the solvents or polymers with the most relevance for developing of bioadhesive pharmaceutical drug carries (chitosan and poloxamer). Method was linear(r>0.999)over studied OXPt concentration range (0.5–15.0 µg/mL) with acceptable precision and accuracy. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.099 µg/mL and 0.331 µg/mL, respectively.

Development And Validation

The conducted research was devoted to the development and validation of criteria for low-rise housing construction in small towns and rural areas remote from major cities. The purpose of the research is to develop fundamental criteria that allow achieving a synergistic effect based on integrated development of a territory, together with improvement of standard of living and creation of comfortable conditions for the population. This research can be applied in design of programs for development of construction industry, including low-rise construction. Scientific merit of the article lies in the fact that the developed criteria make it possible to identify the main features of efficient low-rise housing construction: comfort, safety, energy efficiency, modernity of engineering equipment. These features are able to ensure construction of such energy-efficient low-rise comfortable and affordable housing, which will contribute to sustainable development of a region and make small towns and villages attractive for young professionals and young families.

Location Systems

The growing availability of wireless networks and the proliferation of portable devices have made mobile computing a reality. Furthermore, the widespread use of location systems stimulates the creation of context-aware and adaptive systems. Ubiquitous computing integrates and extends these approaches through a new proposal where users’ applications are available in a suitable adapted form, wherever they go and however they move. In this scenario, issues related to development of software need to be tackled. This chapter reviews essential concepts of the ubiquitous computing area, its evolution, and challenges that must be managed. To deal with these issues, the authors describe the main requirements for the development of ubiquitous software. This analysis starts with the discussion of limitations in the use of traditional programming models, and then goes on to the proposition of techniques to address these limitations. The authors trust that this discussion can help the future development of ubiquitous applications.
