Upper domination and upper irredundance perfect graphs (1998)
Journal Article
Let β(G), Γ(G) and IR(G) be the independence number, the upper domination number and the upper irredundance number, respectively. A graph G is called Γ-perfect if β(H) = Γ(H), for every induced subgraph H of G. A graph G is called IR-perfect if Γ(H)... Read More about Upper domination and upper irredundance perfect graphs.
Line hypergraphs: A survey (1998)
Journal Article
The survey is devoted to line graphs and a new multivalued function L called the line hypergraph. This function generalizes two classical concepts at once, namely the line graph and the dual hypergraph. In a certain sense, line graphs and dual hyperg... Read More about Line hypergraphs: A survey.

Factors impacting construction project duration: A comparison between France, Germany and the UK (1998)
Journal Article
A survey of contractors planning engineers in France, Germany the U.K. indicates significant differences between projected completion times for an identical model building. Completion times are shortest in France, followed by Germany and then the U.K... Read More about Factors impacting construction project duration: A comparison between France, Germany and the UK.
A needs-based methodology for classifying construction clients and selecting contractors (1998)
Journal Article
Clients' needs are inadequately evaluated in project schemes. Without a precise establishment of clients' preferences, the essential criteria for project implementation and especially contractor evaluation cannot be appreciated fully. It is not surpr...

Quantification of construction clients' needs through paired comparisons (1998)
Journal Article
The psychometric technique of paired comparisons was employed to quantify clients' construction project needs. If clients' requirements can be adequately evaluated, projects can be planned with more certainty and be tailored to greater client satisfa...

The Ratio of the Irredundance Number and the Domination Number for Block-Cactus Graphs (1998)
Journal Article
Let γ(G) and ir(G) denote the domination number and the irredundance number of a graph G, respectively. Allan and Laskar [Proc. 9th Southeast Conf. on Combin., Graph Theory & Comp. (1978) 43-56] and Bollobás and Cockayne [J. Graph Theory (1979) 241-2... Read More about The Ratio of the Irredundance Number and the Domination Number for Block-Cactus Graphs.
An evaluation of the project needs of UK building clients (1998)
Journal Article
The investigation reported established a checklist of 50 different needs from which a client's specific requirements can be identified. The checklist comprises of 34 aspects of needs compiled from literature, and 16 others ascertained from an empiric... Read More about An evaluation of the project needs of UK building clients.
A method for estimating labour requirements and costs for international construction projects at inception (1998)
Journal Article
At project inception stage, a quick and reliable method of estimating labour resource requirements and cost, is desirable. This paper presents a fresh approach in that ambition. During inception, while design information is at a premium, cost forecas... Read More about A method for estimating labour requirements and costs for international construction projects at inception.
