1.0 Introduction In this era of information technology, civil engineers rely heavily on software to perform their design tasks. Unfortunately, most commercial structural analysis packages are closed-source, which means that the operations that the program performs cannot be inspected by the user. Moreover, such software packages are invariably very pricey, and, hence, are generally not affordable for students and smaller engineering firms. The objective of this design project was to design

Descartes, in his “First Meditations” wrote that he couldn’t tell whether he was dreaming or not. I believe we exist in different places, yet we all inhabit these places at the same time. But we remain highly unaware of this phenomena, our minds could be theoretically protecting themselves from these memories. But how can this happen you may ask, well there’s this theory called “Quantum Physics” which is the theory of photons, electrons,etc existing in two places at once. This theory states that

inclination is not big. While a large compatibility of competitors may appear to be an insufficient condition to develop competitive cooperation. The presented coopetition matrix and structure of its variables provide us with a basis for research into coopetitive relation characteristics in the sector and the corporate context. The matrix shows the essence of complexity of coopetition as well as its dynamic character. The model may become an important instrument to examine coopetitive relations serving

Various companies implement various marketing mixes with different composition of the constituents. There for to analyse the action-response relationship can be studies by a matrix called Comparative Response Matrix. Comparative Response Matrix: The Comparative Response Matrix is an important tool used to study the competition between two companies. The matrix has three parameters namely Price, Quality and Advertisement. These three parameters give a 3x3 matrix which give us nine different action-response
