	PERT Chart
		PERT was developed in the late 1950's for the U.S. Navy's Polaris project having thousands of contractors.
		PERT originally was an activity on arc network, in which the activities are represented on the lines and milestones on the nodes.
		Even if the beta distribution assumption holds, PERT assumes that the probability distribution of the project completion time is the same as the that of the critical path.

	Candace Pert Summary
		Pert refused to become involved in any controversy, however, and continued on at Hopkins as a National Institutes of Health fellow from 1974 to 1975, as a staff fellow from 1975 to 1977, a senior staff fellow from 1977 to 1978, and then as research pharmacologist from 1978 to 1982.
		Pert contends that neuropeptides and their receptors are the biochemicals of emotions, transmitting information through a network that links the material world of molecules with the nonmaterial world of the psyche.
		Pert is an internationally recognized pharmacologist who has published over 250 scientific articles on peptides and their receptors and the role of these neuropeptides in the immune system.

		Pert's CV is augmented by a huge credit in football-mad Melbourne: he was a loved player for Fitzroy (he followed in the footsteps of his father, Brian), for 10 years a favourite son of a struggling club that the AFL in 1996 chose to kill rather than help.
		Pert became a parsimonious full-back, mature beyond his years, part of a team of talented young men who didn't know they were playing for a doomed team.
		Pert responded that research showed listeners wanted music, not comedy, and that Austereo kept Helliar because he was "one of the highest-regarded, highest-profile entertainers and comedians in our demographic", and that Lucy's support among younger listeners "wasn't as strong".

		PERT charts are very useful in large, complex studies where overlooking details may create unresolvable problems.
		The PERT network is continuously useful to project managers prior to and during a project.
		In order for the PERT network to be useful, project tasks have to be clearly defined as well as their relationships to each other.

	Candace Pert
		Pert's discovery of opiate receptors in the early 1970s raised the question of why receptors exist for opiates, substances that don't naturally occur in the body.
		Since 1990 Pert has been an adjunct professor in the department of physiology at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. She continues to study endorphin receptors, focusing on psychoneuroimmunology, a science that studies the link between the mind and the body.
		Pert and Michael Ruff, a colleague, visited University of Puerto Rico, where these test tube experiments were repeated, showing that Peptide T (HIV Peptide T) blocks the major form of the virus which is in about 80% of people.

	RUMP->PERT: Command descriptions
		PERT iterates the process until it a finds the best set of parameters to match the spectrum.
		Once PERT completes its search, {\it you must} compare the resulting simulation with the experimental data and determine if the fit is appropriate or if better starting conditions to PERT are indicated.
		PERT will attempt to minimize the diffences between the experimental and simulation spectra only over this window -- all others regions of the spectra, except the normalization window, will be ignored.

		A PERT Chart is a visual tool that project management uses to schedule, organize, and coordinate activities of their project.
		These review points may be given their place of honor in the PERT chart, by representing them with a Node, and having all preceding milestone nodes connect to them with the help of dummy Vectors.
		After the project plan is created, a thorough PERT chart is in place, customer approval obtained, and all resources have been allocated and scheduled, the project commences.

	PERT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		PERT was developed jointly by representatives of the U.S. Navy, Lockheed, and the consulting firm of Booz, Allen and Hamilton working on the Polaris missile system.
		PERT focuses on estimating the probability distribution for total project time based on the uncertainties in the durations of individual activities.
		The PERT modeling technique involves probability distributions for each activity duration in the project, and hence is an example of a stochastic model.

		Pert, who’s in her early fifties, with a short tangled mop of brown hair and a big, comfortable body, stares at the Yalp in her hands, as if a genie might explode out of it at any moment.
		Pert first “came out” as a different kind of scientist in 1985, when she agreed to give the keynote address at a symposium for the Institute of Noetic Sciences, an organization that supports studies into consciousness.
		Pert believes the scientific community is still antagonistic toward the “scarlet woman of neuroscience.” But, in looking back at the Lasker fracas, she would not have played the game differently.

	Foundation Series: Basic PERT Estimate Tutorial \| Tyner Blain
		PERT is a technique for providing definitive estimates of how long it will take to complete tasks.
		A PERT estimate uses three estimates for any given task, to provide both an expected duration for the task and an understanding of how much we might be off in our estimate.
		The PERT estimate is a representation of a beta distribution.

	Molecules of Emotion: An Interview with Candace Pert by Caren Goldman
		Pert is best known for her pivotal role in the discovery of opiate receptors-molecules that unlock cells in the brain so that morphine and other opiates, including the body's natural opiate, endorphins, can enter.
		She has come to believe that the brain and the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems are interlocked in a "psychoimmunoendocrine" network that serves as a multidirectional, body-wide system in which every part communicates with every other part.
		Pert: For a long time, neuroscientists agreed that emotions are controlled by certain parts of the brain -- the amygdala, hippocampus, and hypothalamus.

	What is PERT chart? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: PERT, PERT/CPM
		PERT stands for Program Evaluation Review Technique, a methodology developed by the U.S. Navy in the 1950s to manage the Polaris submarine missile program.
		A PERT chart presents a graphic illustration of a project as a network diagram consisting of numbered nodes (either circles or rectangles) representing events, or milestones in the project linked by labelled vectors (directional lines) representing tasks in the project.
		The PERT chart is sometimes preferred over the Gantt chart, another popular project management charting method, because it clearly illustrates task dependencies.

	PERT/CPM for Development Project Scheduling & Management
		PERT was devised in 1958 for the POLARIS missile program by the Program Evaluation Branch of the Special Projects office of the U.S.Navy, helped by the Lockheed Missile Systems division and the Consultant firm of Booz-Allen & Hamilton.
		In such situations, the PERT approach is useful, because it can accommodate the variation in event completion times, based on an expert’s or an expert committee’s estimates.
		PERT assumes that the expected length of a project (or a sequence of independent activities) is simply the sum of their separate expected lengths.
