Abstract:

The master's thesis describes how complexity measurement can enhance product development or design processes in collaboration with Scania CV AB. Scania has a strong track record in vehicle modularization and thus wanted to investigate the possibility of using complexity measures when architecting, developing, and maintaining complex engineering products such as electrified or self-driving trucks and buses to gain various types of benefits. The section YMPI at Scania, where the project is conducted, had, however, little experience in complexity measurements wants to identify and investigate whi

Abstract:

The General Engineering Program exists at Virginia Tech to provide curriculums that engage, challenge and support entry-level engineers. One important part of this initiative is helping students identify with a specific engineering branch, and overtime develop an identity within it. Yet, there exists little research on what entry-level engineers believe it means to be an engineer, especially during these stages of early formation and continual shifting. In order to generate insight on this topic we developed a contextual inquiry method to help inquire into engineering identity. Two participant

Abstract:

Complexity is a significant factor in the development of new products and systems; generally speaking, the higher the complexity, the more difficult products and systems are going to be to design and develop. There are a number of different factors that influence complexity within systems, namely: interoperability; upgradability; adaptability; evolving requirements; system size; automation requirements; performance requirements; support requirements; sustainability; reliability; the need for increased product lifespan; and finally, the length of time systems take to develop. There is, at prese

Abstract:

The premise, that building codes have become too complex, has been discussed, commented on, and documented by practicing engineers; however, prior to this research there was little scientific evidence that codes have increased in complexity over time. There are many aspects of building codes that are complicated, and this reflects a combination of the inherent complexity of building design and the dynamical processes that produce the codes. This research focuses on navigational complexity and specifically the aspects that can be quantified to demonstrate current codes are more complex than the

A number of scaffold production techniques were combined to produce porous anisotropic scaffolds with zonally‐biomimetic microarchitecture and mechanical properties.

Abstract:

Fountain codes are a universal class of rateless codes originally designed for erasure channels. Naturally adapting to channel states without channel knowledge at the transmitter, Fountain codes have recently been demonstrated also as an appealing solution for communication over fading channels. However, their relatively high decoding complexity limits their practical use in a wireless setting. In this thesis, we present a new decoding algorithm for Raptor codes---a type of Fountain codes---over fading channels, where the complexity is significantly reduced without sacrifice of performance.

The Conditional Covering Problem (CCP) is a facility location problem on a graph, where the set of nodes represents the demand points and the potential facility locations. The CCP minimizes the sum of the facility location costs required to cover all demand points. The key aspect of the CCP is that a facility covers all nodes within a given coverage radius, except for the node on which it is located. Our investigation of the CCP will first show that solving CCP on a general graph structure is NP-Hard, prohibiting finding exact optimal solutions in a finite amount of time. While the CCP is NP-H

Abstract:

One way to achieve high data rate and bandwidth efficient wireless communications is to employ multiple transmit and receive antennas creating a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system, combined with Linear Dispersion (LD) codes. Sphere Decoder (SD) is a low complexity Maximum Likelihood (ML) method of decoding LD codes.<br>Using Subspace Matched Filtering principles, two complexity reducing front-ends to any variant of the SD, are developed. These two-stage decoders are designed to only have marginally worse performance than SD.<br>Computer simulations confirm the lower complexity

Abstract:

Microalgae have been grown commercially for many years as a feedstock for aquaculture, and as a source of natural products such as pigments and omega-3 oils. More recently, the focus has turned to the development of microalgae as industrial biotechnological platforms, and several species are being explored as possible cell factories. One promising species is the green alga Chlamydmonas reinhardtii, which has been used extensively as a lab- oratory model for basic genetic and biochemistry studies. The repertoire of molecular and ’omics tools available for its genetic manipulation has in- crease

Abstract:

The extent of regeneration is often limited after spinal cord injury (SCI), due to the post-injury microenvironment that is unsupportive of nerve fibre regeneration and the limited intrinsic reparative capacity of neurons. Current mainstream clinical therapies focus on reducing the extent of damage in the early stages of injury, rather than promoting regenerative mechanisms in sites of pathology. In this context, one promising biomedical engineering strategy emerging globally to promote repair following SCI is the reconstruction of neural circuitry in injury sites via the implantation of polym
