Rethinking Project Management: Researching the actuality of projects (2006)
Journal Article
Cicmil, S., Williams, T., Thomas, J., & Hodgson, D. (2006). Rethinking Project Management: Researching the actuality of projects. International Journal of Project Management, 24(8), 675-686. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijproman.2006.08.006

This paper puts forth the somewhat controversial position that what is needed to improve project management in practice is not more research on what should be done or the frequency and/or use of traditional project management practices. We argue that... Read More about Rethinking Project Management: Researching the actuality of projects.

Hyperacceleration in a stochastic Fermi-Ulam model (2006)
Journal Article
Karlis, A. K., Papachristou, P. K., Diakonos, F. K., Constantoudis, V., & Schmelcher, P. (2006). Hyperacceleration in a stochastic Fermi-Ulam model. Physical Review Letters, 97(19), 194102-194106. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.194102

Fermi acceleration in a Fermi-Ulam model, consisting of an ensemble of particles bouncing between two, infinitely heavy, stochastically oscillating hard walls, is investigated. It is shown that the widely used approximation, neglecting the displaceme... Read More about Hyperacceleration in a stochastic Fermi-Ulam model.
