Focusing on the issue of final settlement in EPC projects under the construction management model, settlement problems refer to abnormal situations where payments are delayed beyond the final payment deadline, from the submission of settlement documents to the confirmation of payment amounts. A tripartite...

Gulf of Mexico(GoM) is the earliest deep-water oilfields that have been developed. Especially after the 2010's BP oil leakage accident, more and more efficient, safe and inexpensive development key technology have been put into use in this area. Therefore, researching on this important deep-water area...

Under the background of informatization and intelligence of financial management, the accounting information and auditing system based on blockchain technology has improved the quality of financial information. It is possible to explore the use of the blockchain technology as a basis to solve the information...

Background: Between the ages of 45 and 65 years, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease is significantly lower in women compared with men. Circulating bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play an important role in vascular repair. Reduced EPC number is predictive of more cardiovascular...

An engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company is challenged to compete in a cut-throat industry with many competitors and slim profit margin. Previous studies revealed that 70% of activities in a construction project are non-value adding which diminish productivity and profitability. As...

The central architecture of LTE with IP traffic going though EPC can not assure capacity and performance issue, this paper presents a novel method of processing IP traffic by introducing distribute architecture and using pure IP vendors’ technology, removing GTP-U in S1 interface between eNB and EPC....

In the context of global economic integration and the sustainable development of the construction industry, the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) contracting model has emerged as the preferred approach for managing large-scale and complex projects. This study develops a digital twin-based...

Engineering ,Procurement and Construction (EPC)/Turnkey Contract is mature in developed countries ,like America and European countries .But to China ,it’s a relatively new thing . The wide use of EPC Contract will meet a lot of problems . In order to solve management problems of theEPC contract, the...

This paper examines the role of supply chain integration in improving procurement management for international electric power engineering projects under the EPC model. It explores the benefits of integrating supply chains in terms of efficiency, cost reduction, and overcoming procurement challenges....

This article analyzes the legal risks faced by design institutes in EPC projects, such as incomplete contract terms, design quality issues, improper design change management, and intellectual property disputes. It proposes prevention and control strategies such as improving contract management mechanisms,...

The taxation of the digital economy presents its challenges, and issues across the globe which have been acknowledged by taxation experts worldwide providing different approaches to tax the digital economy, as businesses embrace digital models, and significant challenges are faced in the process. Using...

Background: It has been proved that Berberine(BR) can improve endothelial function recently. However, the underlying mechanisms about the effect of berberine on endothelial function are not completely clear. The number and function of circulating endothelial progenitor cells(EPC) are involved in the...

EPS templates attaching a compressed powder disk on a surface that are mainly consisted of Ni-WC powders were prepared. High manganese molten steels were poured into the templates forming a surface alloyed sample using V-EPC process. After water quenching from 1050ºC, the microstructures of the steels...

Japanese manga has been known for its representation of Japanese daily life through its genre of slice of live. However, while not too related to depiction of everyday life, the manga stories based on imaginative and fantasy worlds have managed to relate to the condition of contemporary Japan. Attack...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an emerging wireless object identification technology with many potential applications such as supply chain management, personnel tracking and healthcare. However, security vulnerabilities of the RFID system have been a serious concern for its wide adoption in...

The EPC model is increasingly being valued as a general contracting model. Due to the characteristics of the EPC model, the contractor needs to bear most of the risks. The high risk should match the high returns, so the contractor often Rationalization suggestions are proposed through their own technical...

In an era of unprecedented global economic integration and technological advancement, the role of international engineering contracting has never been more pivotal. As China accelerates its global outreach through the “Going Global” strategy and the ambitious “Belt and Road” Initiative, a dramatic shift...

The optimal management of hemodynamic disorders among critically ill patients requires an accurate assessment of hemodynamic status. Global End Diastolic Index (GEDI) is taken for a more reliable indicator of preload in critically ill patients than central venous pressure and doctors tend to arrange...

Through the evolutionary game, this paper selects the general contracting unit, design unit, and construction unit as the tripartite game subjects to investigate the influence of income distribution coefficients on their behavioral strategies, and utilizes MATLAB R2016b for simulation. The results reveal...
