Assessing Innovation in Comparative Tender Assessment in the Road Sector
ASSESSING INNOVATION IN COMPARATIVE TENDER ASSESSMENT IN THE ROAD SECTOR Pardeep Kumar Oad Master of Engineering (Research), Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Architecture and Built Environment Faculty of Engineering Queensland University of Technology 2021 Keywords Road industry; Bid evaluation; Innovation; Road construction, Project management, Factors of innovation; Global warming; Tendering. Assessing Innovation in Comparative Tender Assessment in the Road Sector i Abstract Innovation in the field of road construction offers significant community and industry benefits by making an important contribution to economic growth and enhancing the quality of projects. However, achieving better innovative practices to improve existing construction processes and to heighten competitiveness has become a challenge for the road industry. Innovation in the context of this research refers to the use of suitable materials in the construction of roads, such as eco-friendly roads, solar roads, and recycled materials. Moreover, innovation in the road construction industry is cocreated in a multiparty designed, shaped and environment, therefore it is important to analysis the bidder’s skills and resource capability against the project requirements. Therefore, in the bid evaluation process in the road construction sector, it is important to consider innovation as well as the other factors. This research examines the factors related to innovation in the bid evaluation process in the road construction sector. It proposes a model of innovation and bid evaluation to explore a variety of components and factors of innovation in the road sector, including innovative activities, impacts, benefits, inputs, drivers, factors, enablers and bidders’ capabilities in developing suitable roads. -
King Arthur and Medieval Knights
Renata Jawniak KING ARTHUR AND MEDIEVAL KNIGHTS 1. Uwagi ogólne Zestaw materiałów opatrzony wspólnym tytułem King Arthur and Medieval Knights jest adresowany do studentów uzupełniających studiów magisterskich na kierun- kach humanistycznych. Przedstawione ćwiczenia mogą być wykorzystane do pracy z grupami studentów filologii, kulturoznawstwa, historii i innych kierunków hu- manistycznych jako materiał przedstawiający kulturę Wielkiej Brytanii. 2. Poziom zaawansowania: B2+/C1 3. Czas trwania opisanych ćwiczeń Ćwiczenia zaprezentowane w tym artykule są przeznaczone na trzy lub cztery jednostki lekcyjne po 90 minut każda. Czas trwania został ustalony na podstawie doświadcze- nia wynikającego z pracy nad poniższymi ćwiczeniami w grupach na poziomie B2+. 4. Cele dydaktyczne W swoim założeniu zajęcia mają rozwijać podstawowe umiejętności językowe, takie jak czytanie, mówienie, słuchanie oraz pisanie. Przy układaniu poszczegól- nych ćwiczeń miałam również na uwadze poszerzanie zasobu słownictwa, dlatego przy tekstach zostały umieszczone krótkie słowniczki, ćwiczenia na odnajdywa- nie słów w tekście oraz związki wyrazowe. Kolejnym celem jest cel poznawczy, czyli poszerzenie wiedzy studentów na temat postaci króla Artura, jego legendy oraz średniowiecznego rycerstwa. 5. Uwagi i sugestie Materiały King Arthur and Medieval Knights obejmują pięć tekstów tematycznych z ćwiczeniami oraz dwie audycje z ćwiczeniami na rozwijanie umiejętności słucha- nia. Przewidziane są tu zadania na interakcję student–nauczyciel, student–student oraz na pracę indywidualną. Ćwiczenia w zależności od poziomu grupy, stopnia 182 IV. O HISTORII I KULTURZE zaangażowania studentów w zajęcia i kierunku mogą być odpowiednio zmodyfiko- wane. Teksty tu zamieszczone możemy czytać i omawiać na zajęciach (zwłaszcza z grupami mniej zaawansowanymi językowo, tak by studenci się nie zniechęcili stopniem trudności) lub część przedstawionych ćwiczeń zadać jako pracę domo- wą, jeżeli nie chcemy poświęcać zbyt dużo czasu na zajęciach. -
The Matter of Britain
THE MATTER OF BRITAIN: KING ARTHUR'S BATTLES I had rather myself be the historian of the Britons than nobody, although so many are to be found who might much more satisfactorily discharge the labour thus imposed on me; I humbly entreat my readers, whose ears I may offend by the inelegance of my words, that they will fulfil the wish of my seniors, and grant me the easy task of listening with candour to my history May, therefore, candour be shown where the inelegance of my words is insufficient, and may the truth of this history, which my rustic tongue has ventured, as a kind of plough, to trace out in furrows, lose none of its influence from that cause, in the ears of my hearers. For it is better to drink a wholesome draught of truth from a humble vessel, than poison mixed with honey from a golden goblet Nennius CONTENTS Chapter Introduction 1 The Kinship of the King 2 Arthur’s Battles 3 The River Glein 4 The River Dubglas 5 Bassas 6 Guinnion 7 Caledonian Wood 8 Loch Lomond 9 Portrush 10 Cwm Kerwyn 11 Caer Legion 12 Tribuit 13 Mount Agned 14 Mount Badon 15 Camlann Epilogue Appendices A Uther Pendragon B Arthwys, King of the Pennines C Arthur’s Pilgrimages D King Arthur’s Bones INTRODUCTION Cupbearer, fill these eager mead-horns, for I have a song to sing. Let us plunge helmet first into the Dark Ages, as the candle of Roman civilisation goes out over Europe, as an empire finally fell. The Britons, placid citizens after centuries of the Pax Romana, are suddenly assaulted on three sides; from the west the Irish, from the north the Picts & from across the North Sea the Anglo-Saxons. -

Frank Royal Ancestry
GRANHOLM GENEALOGY FRANK ROYAL ANCESTRY Introduction by Lars Granholm The Frank empire lasted about 500 years, (300-800 AD) as listed below. It covered approximately the present France and Germany, but during several wars the area changed constantly. Also different areas were split up among sons and other relatives and favorites. After Charlemagne France and Germany were established as separate countries. This presentation begins where the myth turns into history and ends with Charlemagne . For earlier legendary ancestry, to the time of the birth of Christ, see the link below by Jacob Holdt. http://www.american-pictures.com/english/jacob/x2269.htm (click on the yellow star) Descendants of: Pharamond King of the Franks As Related to: Lars Erik Granholm 1 Pharamond King of the Franks #16052 (51st great grand father) 2 Clodio King of the Franks #16051 b. 395 d. 448 (50th great grand father) 3 Merovech King of the Franks #16050 b. 411 France d. 457 (49th great grand father) m.
