A Construction Manager (CM) provides the Owner with specialized knowledge, experience and resources to navigate through the complexities of a construction program or project. Construction management services may be tailored to satisfy the needs of the novice or sophisticated Owner. The CM adds value by providing the resources and expertise needed to manage quality, cost, schedule, scope and risks associated with design and construction to help the Owner achieve its objectives.

A major construction effort is a complex and risk-laden venture. It involves the expenditure of a large sum of capital as well as the application of technologies of which many are aware, some are conversant, but few are expert. It requires the Owner to do business with several groups of people whose interests are not its own and to venture into a field with its own set of rules, some of which are not written down anywhere. It is an intensive process demanding constant attention in order to achieve success. The federal government has a construction budget that is measured in billions of dollars and a plan for accomplishment that is measured in decades. Many state governments have construction efforts of hundreds of millions of dollars and multiple years. Although the federal and state governments have standing staffs to manage their typical construction program, they often need specialized expertise or supplemental staff to help manage certain projects.

Smaller government organizations are like smaller businesses, having the same organizational needs for construction expertise matched against an equal need to reduce expenses. Moreover, many times the smaller private Owner cannot afford to build a staff and fully develop sufficient expertise to embark upon a construction program.

The use of professional construction management services to oversee all or parts of the planning, design and construction process is recognized in both the public and private sectors as an effective and efficient means of achieving successful delivery of constructed projects under any contract format. The Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) presents this document as a guide to public and private Owners in selecting a critical component of the construction project: the CM.

This guide will benefit those Owners who will embark on a construction project and who will seek expertise in the planning, design and construction process. It introduces the construction management practice and describes how it can enhance the success of a project.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/an-owner-s-guide-to-construction-management Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/an-owner-s-guide-to-construction-management

Before commercial fertilizer
became readily available, farmers used manure as a
valuable source of nutrients for crop and pasture
production. However, with the consistency, ease and
flexibility of commercial fertilizers, manure nutrients
became devalued. In addition, farms are continually
becoming larger, generating more manure and more
nutrients. Producers must maintain a sufficient land
base to land apply manure at agronomic rates or
consider other options.

that peanut allergies have doubled in the last decade. It has been reported that
nearly one­third (30 percent) of the population think they or their children have a
food allergy, though they may instead have adverse food reactions rather than a
true food allergy. Adverse food reactions can vary from aversions and
pharmacologic effects to idiosyncratic reactions, as well as other immunologic
reactions.
Food allergies can be classified into those that are IgE mediated and those that
are non­IgE mediated. In IgE­mediated food allergies, allergen­specific IgE
antibodies are produced in the body in response to exposure to a food allergen,
usually a protein. They are the most severe form of food allergies, are typically
rapid in onset, and may lead to anaphylaxis. Non­IgE­mediated food allergies
tend to become evident hours to days after allergen ingestion, and usually
manifest in the gastrointestinal tract.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/food-allergy-in-children Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/food-allergy-in-children mism and high rate of habitat degradation. Global climate phenomena such as El Nin˜o
Southern Oscillations may have confounding impacts on the island’s threatened biota
but these effects are less well known. We performed a demographic study of Propithecus
edwardsi, a lemur inhabiting the eastern rainforest of Madagascar, to evaluate the impact
of deforestation, hunting, and El Nin˜ o on its population and to re-evaluate present endan-
germent categorization under the IUCN. Over 18 years of demographic data, including
survival and fecundity rates were used to parameterize a stochastic population model
structured with three stage classes (yearlings, juveniles, and adults). Results demonstrate
that hunting and deforestation are the most significant threats to the population. Analysis
of several plausible scenarios and combinations of threat revealed that a 50% population
decline within three generations was very likely, supporting current IUCN classification.
However, the analysis also suggested that changing global cycles may pose further threat.
The average fecundity of lemurs was over 65% lower during El Nin˜o years. While not as
severe as deforestation or hunting, if El Nin˜ o events remain at the current high frequency
there may be negative consequences for the population. We suggest that it is most critical
for this species continued survival to create more protected areas, not only to thwart hunt-
ing and deforestation, but also to give this endangered lemur a better chance to recover
from and adapt to altered climate cycles in the future.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/evaluating-effects-of-deforestation-hunting-and-el-nino-events-on-a-threatened-lemur Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/evaluating-effects-of-deforestation-hunting-and-el-nino-events-on-a-threatened-lemur zations. This research can help people understand conflict resolution and improve
communication. Researchers have found many variables with some correlation to
preferred conflict resolution style. These variables include the context of the con-
flict, whether researchers study actual behavior or perceptions, and the effect of
work roles. Research can yield different results if the focus is on initial or follow-
up strategies. Some research suggests managers become more androgynous as they
gain experience, which affects conflict resolution style. The present research
addresses the effect of managerial experience on interpersonal conflict resolution
styles in supervisor/peer dyads within organizations and looks at gender as a con-
founding variable. Previous research found that male managers prefer competitive
styles and women managers prefer more communicative styles, but did not exam-
ine gender differences in styles for those beginning their careers. This study
measures perceptions of differences in conflict styles between the genders for man-
agers with limited experience.
