Procrastination is an irrational choice to delay high-priority work in order to avoid its unpleasantness, despite the fact that the negativity will not cease if the work still remains undone. We hypothesized that (1) people underestimate the future negativity (i.e., delay neutralization) and (2) in order to complete work in a timely manner, one should project oneself into the future so as to recognize that the negativity associated with an activity does not diminish over time. Especially, negative future thinking that is unrelated to the consequence was hypothesized to reduce delay neutralization of negativity. In the present study, undergraduate students made a series of choices between delayed-but-longer and immediate-but-shorter assignment by employing an inter-temporal choice paradigm. We tracked how positive and negative episodic future thinking influenced the degree to which negativity is neutralized over time (Experiment 1). Following this, we confined the experimental condition to negative thinking about the future (Experiment 2). Participants neutralized negativity involved in assignment as a function of time, suggesting that procrastination arises from the delay neutralization of the negativity. Critically, such neutralization was significantly reduced when participants imagined a negative future event, but this did not occur when they imagined a positive future event (Experiment 1), or when participants did not think about the future (Experiment 1, 2). Our findings suggest that, prior to making a decision between work and indulgence, imagining negative future events can be an effective way to reduce the neutralization of delayed negativity and, in turn, procrastination.

Some regions and states, such as Wyoming, have harsh weather conditions, forcing most transportation projects to be completed under tight schedules. However, construction projects are not only delayed by weather conditions, but also delayed by other factors such as contractor's competency, resource availability, coordination issues, and safety. Also, the construction method, geographical location of the projects, and inability to follow baseline schedules accurately due to the contractor's resource allocation are also reasons for the delay. This paper discusses the main reasons for the delay in the public transportation projects based on Daily Work Reports (DWRs) from five different transportation projects of the last three years in Wyoming. This paper focuses on the inconsistencies of the contractor's schedules to complete the project according to the baseline schedule. First, the authors collected DWRs and baseline schedules from the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT). Second, the DWR data are compared against the baseline schedules to determine the reasons for delaying their significance. Finally, the paper presents the recommendations to mitigate the effects of delays on public transportation projects as well as to improve the documentation process of DWR data.

Time Delay Control(TDC) is a robust nonlinear control scheme using Time Delay Estimation(TDE) and also has a simple structure. To apply TDC to a real system, we must design Time Delay Controller to guarantee stability. The earlier research stated sufficient stability condition of TDC for general plants. In that research, it was assumed that time delay is infinitely small. But, it is impossible to implement infinitely small time delay in a real system. So, in this research we propose a new sufficient stability condition of TDC for general plants with finite time delay. And the simulation results indicate that the previous sufficient stability condition does not work even for small time delay, while our proposed condition works well.

Construction project involves numerous repetitive operations. Especially in high-rise and apartment houses projects, the amount of repetitive operations increase and a preceding operations delay causes serious damage to the total duration of the project. This study deducts work delay factors by site engineer interview and survey. The study analyzes daily report data to deduct crucial processes affecting masonry work which has been investigated to be one of preliminary processes conducted at the beginning of finish work.

In this paper, we consider a class of time-varying systems with time-varying state delay. Generally, this system is affected by many uncertainties and we assume that the information of the upper bound(time-delay, uncertainty) is known. In this work, we propose a robust control for system with state delay. The stability based on Lyapunov function is presented. Finally, a numberical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the result.

본 연구는 기존의 폭발볼트와는 달리 작동에 필요한 전원의 공급 없이 수행하면서, 또한 지연기능까지 포함한 비전기식 지연형 폭발볼트에 관한 것이다. 즉 비전기식 작동방법을 이용하여 전원 공급 장치를 없앨 수 있기 때문에 분리장치의 소형화가 가능해졌고, 이를 위하여 기존 폭발볼트의 작동 메카니즘과는 다른 새로운 개념의 메카니즘을 적용하였고, 또한 지연기능을 추가하기 위하여 작동 메카니즘 개발과 별도로 지연장치를 개발하였다. 전원을 사용하지 않고 작동하는 착화장치를 설계하기 위하여 폭발볼트가 결합된 비행체에서 발생하는 공기의 저항력을 이용하였다. 고속으로 비행하는 발사체의 속도를 줄이고 안전한 착륙을 위한 낙하 시스템의 설계에 고려될 수 있는 장치라고 생각된다.

작업의 지연을 줄이거나 예방하기 위해서는 작업지연상황을 지속적으로 확인하여 작업지연을 야기하는 원인을 찾아내고 대책을 세워야 한다. 그래서 지금까지 작업지연기간 산정방법 또는 작업지연의 클레임 사례에 관한 연구 등이 이루어졌으나 프로젝트 종료 후 결과에 의한 분석방법이나 원인분류체계를 제시한 것이 대부분이다. 건설 프로젝트는 동일한 조건하에서도 주변 환경에 따라 결과값이 다르게 나타나는 일회성이 강한 분야 중에 하나이다. 따라서 공사 진행 중에 발생하는 작업지연에 대해 효과적으로 대처할 수 있는 분석방법과 절차가 필요하다. 본 연구는 작업지연 원인분석 범위를 프로젝트내의 현장관리 분야로 국한하고 작업지연 원인분류 체계를 투입요소를 대상으로 작업지연 원인인자와 작업지 연 원인속성으로 나눴다. 작업지 연 원인분류 체계는 전문가 인터뷰 및 설문조사를 통해 검증하고 작업지 연 원인속성 및 원인인자의 특성을 분석하고 VSM을 응용한 작업지연 원인 분석방법 및 절차를 제시한다.

These days buildings have more possibilities to occur construction delay as many variables and risks are inherent in them due to the enlargement and complexity. When a project is delayed, it generates extra working expenses and this causes a dispute between the employer and the constructor. Most construction sites conduct emergency construction work to recover the delay of the project duration. When an emergency construction is carried out in the actual construction site, it's necessary to utilize and distribute the proper working groups based on the procedure of successor and predecessor. Many constructions, however, have been going only with more number of work forces and working time. This study suggests a process management optimization plan with an application of emergency construction scenario by using linear programing.

Delay is one of the most critical issues for construction projects and leads to huge losses in both developing and industrialized countries. The construction sector in Rwanda, a rapidly-developing nation, is no exception. Delays can be mitigated only once we have identify their primary causes, and these may not be the same in each region. This study aims to ascertain the main critical factors responsible for delays in building construction in Rwanda through an intensive literature review and questionnaire survey. A total of 40 delay causative factors were obtained from a literature review and were further classified into nine major categories. The questionnaire survey was distributed to about 80 respondents from clients, contractors, and consultants. From the list of 40 different factors, the top twelve most critical causes were identified as stoppage of work due to cash flow constraints, delay in approving design documents, confidentiality of physical plan, price fluctuations and delay in approving significant change, change orders, delay in performing inspections, Ineffective project planning, inadequate drawing details, unqualified labor, lack of materials on the market and dishonesty.

When primer is applied manually, adhesion performance decreases due to a decrease in primer penetration performance on the surface, and construction period delay may occur due to a long time due to a decrease in work efficiency when a large area is worked using a conventional roller. In addition, in the case of the roller method, precision work in corners and narrow spaces is not possible, so it is urgent to come up with measures to ensure uniform quality. In addition, secondary work occurs to remove fine powder from the surface before primer application, resulting in construction period delay due to the rise of the working stage. Therefore, in this study, equipment was used instead of manual work for primer work, and as a result, penetration performance and adhesion performance were improved about twice. From these results, it was confirmed that favorable results such as improving work speed, securing high quality, improving the working environment, and resolving the shortage of functional workers can be obtained.
