Full textAbstract:
This article discusses that technology can ease the adversity between industrial designers and mechanical engineers. In many manufacturing organizations, engineers coexist, albeit sometimes uneasily, with the industrial designers who shape the way the product will look on the outside. While mechanical engineers take care of laying out the mechanisms inside the product’s shell, industrial designers are concerned with its external shape and appeal. At Symbol Technologies in Holtsville, NY, that uneasy alliance does not exist anymore. Symbol’s devices have to be rugged because, although they are meant to be held easily in the hand, they can just as easily be dropped. The company uses I-deas, from EDS of Plano, Texas, for CAD modeling. Before beginning to sculpt on screen, the designer now talks to the engineer about the product. The engineer might know that both a scan engine and a set of batteries must be included inside the final product. The CAID and CAD software work together in such a way that, if an industrial designer changes something about the outside shape, the mechanical features automatically update to accommodate the change. Engineers do not have to rework the internal parts each time the external changed.

Full textAbstract:
Design team performance evaluation can occur in different ways, all of them requiring considerations on interactions among team members; in turn, these considerations should count on as many pieces of information as possible about individuals. The literature already explains how personal characteristics and/or external factors influence designers' performance; nevertheless, a way to evaluate performance considering several personal characteristics and external factors together is missing. This research tries to fill the gap by developing the Designer’s Performance Estimator (DPE), a ready-to-use tool for researchers and practitioners who need to make information about team members as richer as possible.

Full textAbstract:
In the design of residential developments, it has been common practice for façade sound insulation (to protect against outdoor noise) to be considered separately from the provisions for ventilation and for mitigating overheating. This fragmented approach has led to different designers making different, incompatible assumptions about the internal environmental quality conditions: the acoustic designer assumes that windows are closed to control external noise ingress, while the mechanical designer assumes that windows are open for ventilation or mitigating overheating. This leaves occupants with a choice between reasonable noise levels or thermal comfort, but not both. This problem is exacerbated by increased overheating risk in modern buildings and future climate scenarios. In response to this issue, the Association of Noise Consultants has produced the draft Acoustics Ventilation and Overheating Residential Design Guide – the ‘AVO Guide’. The AVO guide recommends an approach to acoustic assessment that takes regard of the interdependence of provisions for external noise ingress, ventilation and overheating. This paper describes the context, background and content of the AVO Guide. There are references to passive attenuated options for ventilative cooling to help designers avoid simply specifying mechanical cooling. Practical application: This paper is entirely focused on the practical application of the guidance in the Association of Noise Consultants’ Acoustics, Ventilation and Overheating Residential Design Guide. It describes the current practical problem that designers face, and the mistakes that are the common practice across the industry, of failing to integrate the design for noise with the ventilation strategy and provisions for overheating. It outlines how this can be achieved to enable better internal environmental quality conditions for occupants, supported by the current English Planning regime and professional good practice guidance available.

There are many roles that design can play in organisations. It can be source of good marketing strategy, and designer by himself can be a promotional tool for a company. Thanks to those actions companies can gain publicity, media attention and good PR.On the second level, design can be perceived as ‘process of making things better’. In this case companies can achieve more effective product development process, new tools and technologies.On the third level we have the situation when designer work alongside with company managers with the whole business concept. At this level, designers’ work looks more like a brand consultant, a strategist. In this approach design should be reflecting certain brand name and brand values.As our study presented, Swedish companies operate on those two, higher levels, while Polish still limit the scope of design. We strongly believe, that Polish companies, as they gain more experience with design activities, will be more likely to perceive design in this more mature approach. In the meantime, presenting best practices from companies from other, more mature countries could be a good way of promoting design as a strategic asset rather than promotional tool. We believe that in order to fasten this process, Polish companies should as follows:1. Work more often with external and foreign designers;2. Expand the area of designer responsibilities in companies;3. Place the responsibility for design in hands of professional design managers.

La empatía para conocer al usuario representa un camino distinto al tradicional, mismo que ha sido externo al individuo y basado en observar y cuestionar al usuario. Con base en el cuestionamiento: ¿Qué reconozco en mí que también puedo reconocer en los demás?. Se propone la introspección como un primer paso para conducir al estudiante a ser empático, se trata de un enfoque complementario al de las técnicas que tradicionalmente han guiado el conocimiento de los usuarios del diseño que permite comenzar a identificar aspectos humanos complejos, como lo es la dimensión emocional, al fomentar el autoconocimiento personal del alumno como un ser humano que es y de este modo comenzar a proyectar para otros seres humanos semejantes a él.

This study aimed to understand the emergence of the creative class in the context of youth villager. This study used a case study approach by taking the case of the emergence of graphic designers at Kaliabu Village, Magelang Regency. This study used the theory of Creative Class and Youth to explain the dynamics of the emergence of the creative class in Kaliabu. Opportunities in the form of professional graphic designers who comes in line with the current socio-economic changes currently utilized by the younger generation Kaliabu. These changes are related to the economic system based on information technology, progress and financial services industry, the emergence of the company with a flexible system, global supply chains, as well as the process of globalization. These things are external factors that allow graphic designers in Kaliabu Village to carry out cross-country service transactions in online graphic design marketplaces such as 99design.The external change then responded with passion of high exploration by youths Kaliabu. The success of one of the residents in Kaliabu by winning the online design contest fortunately inspire other youths. The learning process occurs among Kaliabu youth. Ultimately in 2012 in the village of Kaliabu already has two hundred young people who become a graphic designer. They are embodied in a community called as Rewo-Rewo. Their function as provider of graphic design and the relations on aspects of talent, technology, and tolerance explaining they are parts of the creative classes. The conclusion of this study showed that the rise of the creative class in the form of hundreds of graphic designers in Kaliabu is a result of the dynamics of youth Kaliabu in response to socio-economic changes. The graphic design of the logo brought economic benefits to them.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, part-task simulation development has involved large amounts of time and effort. This was due to: 1) the inherent complexity of designing real-time software; 2) difficulty of converting dea/concept into specific software engineering requirements/specifications; 3) the need for extensive interconnected computer systems (both graphical and non-graphical). There are 3 activities involved in the creation of a part-task simulation: 1) the physical display format; 2) the definition of the input (Simulation Logic); 3) the definition of the response to the inputs (Display Logic). The Interactive Display Design Tool (IDDT) was a concerted effort to allow parts of the external interface to be created directly by interface designers, rather than software engineers. The original version of IDDT allowed the designer to interactively create and modify display formats. The current capability of IDDT allows interface designers to partially create and modify display and simulation logic. This paper discusses the specific methodology used within IDDT: display lists and look-up tables, and cites examples and capabilities of the tool. In conclusion, specific instances of significant savings in time and effort required for part-task simulation creation are given.

Full textAbstract:
The development of new building materials has decisively influenced the progression of architecture through the link between built form and available material systems. The new generation of engineered materials are no exception. However, to fully utilise these materials in the design process, there is a need for designers to understand how these new materials perform. In this paper we propose a method for sensing and representing the response of materials to external stimuli, at the early design stage, to help the designer establish a material awareness. We present a novel approach for embedding capacitive sensors into material models in order to improve material performance of designs. The method was applied and tested during two workshops, both discussed in this paper. The outcome is a method for anticipating engineered material behaviour.

During the past ten years, various systems of building components have been applied in public school projects in Iraq, with no systematic method used for selection and evaluation, but only based on the designer’s experience. This paper displays evaluation and selection techniques based on value engineering methodology to find the optimal cost for school building projects in Iraq during design stage. The most important criteria for performance, constructability and sustainability criteria, which based on the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design used in this assessment were obtained from a survey of 49 professional designers and consultants, adoption of the Super Decisions Software Program, which uses analytical hierarchy process (AHP) for determining the relative importance of the main criteria and sub-criteria, that allows the decision-makers to evaluate the suitable alternatives of design for the external wall system in Iraq’s school buildings was built.

Full textAbstract:
How professional and novice designers manage multiple objectives through constraint satisfaction was studied. An objective is defined as a network of constraints; a constraint is characterized as related to a source (internal or external) and an addressee (e.g., client or user). It has been shown that designers favour objectives related to external constraint (e.g., data from the task) and to the client. Generally, client and external constraints are identical. To study the management of multiple objectives, fifteen web site designers were instructed to design a site according to user's objectives or client's objectives. Our results indicate that the validity status allocated to constraints is more determined by the status of the addressee than by the status of the source, whatever the objective condition that must be satisfied. Possible methodological generalizations are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Outsourcing är ett begrepp som blir allt vanligare i företag. Ett vanligt argument för att man väljer att outsourca vissa delar av verksamheten, är att det ger en möjlighet till att fokusera på kärnverksamheten och därmed uppnå större konkurrenskraft. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur externa designers kan skapa en visuell identitet på produkten, samt vilka faktorer är viktiga då externa designers ersätter en in-house designavdelning. En kvalitativ fallstudie har genomförts på DUKA, Axcent of Scandinavia och Gant. I dessa fall har alla på något sätt kontrakterat ut antingen hela eller delar av sin designverksamhet. För att på ett framgångsrikt sätt kunna besvara det angivna syftet upprättades en teoretisk referensram samt en börmodell för att belysa vilka faktorer som enligt teorin är väsentliga när externa designers ersätter en</p><p>in-house designavdelning. Studien har utförts genom intervjuer och enkätundersökningar, där en analys sedan upprättats för att belysa om det finns ett gap mellan vad företaget vill att produkten ska förmedla och kundernas uppfattning om produkten.</p><p>Studien visar att en rad faktorer kan urskiljas och att dessa är viktiga när företaget tar in extern designer. Det är viktigt att företaget arbetar integrerat, processtyrt och med långsiktiga relationer för att kunna föra över den tysta kunskapen. Därmed kan designkonsulten skapa en visuell identitet som stämmer överens med företagets profil. Detta gäller dock endast för de kunder som köpt produkten. Problematiken får ett större perspektiv då företaget ska kommunicera till de kunder som sett men ej köpt produkten. Här blir gapet större mellan den visuella identiteten och imagen. Därmed går det dock inte att endast utifrån ett motiv härleda lyckade samarbeten mellan företag och designkonsulter. För att designkonsulten ska skapa en visuell identitet på produkten som stämmer överens med företagets profil bör istället ett flertal andra faktorer beaktas.</p>

Full textAbstract:
<p>Many design agencies and designers like to see design as a longtime strategic investment for any company. However, knowledge of design as a strategic resource depends on ones professional background and ones knowledge of design as such. It is common today that clients meet design agencies and therefore design with a certain skepticism concerning its role in the company. Within the prodctdevelopment-process the company’s different functions meet. Those are people differing in education, background and knowledge. This fact and the differing visions concerning design lead to gaps within the cooperation between design agency and their client.</p><p>This study’s aim was to explain these gaps from the industrial design agency’s perspective.Especially when the cooperation intends to strengthen the client’s brand through product design. We tried to gain insight in the design agencies’ working-process and their attitude towards cooperation and their clients through case studies. Three design agencies in the greater Stockholm area were chosen and interviews were made in November 2007. The collected data was then mainly analyzed through gap analysis. The study shows that the contact between design agency and the client’s management level</p><p>plays a vital role in preventing the management gap. This gap is a result of differing visions of the design service and can lead to different levels of ambition between the partners. By taking this gap into consideration early on, the design-agency can access important</p><p>information about the client’s company and design can be used efficiently as a strategic resource. In addition to that the project’s brief influences the quality of the cooperation strongly.</p><p>The interpretation of brand values to design features is reason for communication-problems between agency and client. Visualizing of ideas, early prototyping and regular meetings can help minimizing this gap. However, a basic condition for successful brand communication is the client’s internal organization. It is vital that Marketing and Research and Development find a common language in order for the design project to become a success.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Kontinuerligt försvårade och mer krävande energikrav utlyst från den Europeiska unionen ochsvenska myndigheter har lett till en förändring av hur konstruktionsdetaljer och lösningar somanvänds inom nyproduktionssektorn utformas. Förändringarna har skapat en osäkerhet ur enfuktsäkerhetssynpunkt. Uttökade krav och förbättrad energiprestanda låter som ett problemfrittideal att sträva efter, dock har det i många fall lett till oförutsägbara konsekvenser i olika delar avbyggnaden. Två av de byggnadskomponenter som påverkats har varit ytterväggar och kallvindarsom har varit utformade utefter nya energikrav i nyproducerade hus.Den största utmaningen med utformningen av nyare kallvindar har varit balansgången mellanhög energiprestanda genom ökad isoleringstjocklek och fuktsäkerhet. Ökad isoleringstjocklekkombinerat med minimerad värmeförlust från ventilationsaggregat, inomhus och skorstenar harlett till, i överlag, kallare vindutrymmen med ökad risk för kondensation av fukt på kallare ytor ijämförelse med äldre byggnader. En lösning på detta har varit inkluderingen av uteluftsventileringi utformningen av vinden. Detta har lett till en återkommande fråga angående den optimalaluftomsättningen som krävs för utökad fuktsäkerhet, och i vissa fall, om uteluftsventilering ensär nödvändig.En annan stor utmaning har varit att säkerhetsställa fuktsäkerheten i väggar som är isolerade ien högre grad. Det finns en potentiell risk för kondens i kalla, yttre ytor om isoleringen utökas.Utöver detta så existerar det en hel del lösningar som har fungerat i det förflutna men som lärleda till ökad risk för skada när det kombineras med nya utformade lösningar som uppfyllerenergikraven.Detta arbete har fördjupat sig i dessa två komponenter, ytterväggar och kallvindar, för atthitta kritiska designval som har en stor påverkan på fuktsäkerheten. Arbetet har skett medsimuleringsprogrammen IDA ICE och WUFI 6. Båda programmen har kombinerats för attuttnyttja deras styrkor i simuleringsprocessen.Resultatet visar att en låg luftomsättning är optimal. Ingen ventilering alls lär leda till ökadfukthalt och ökad luftomsättning lär leda till en betydligt högre risk för mögel på råsponten ivinden. Placeringen av ett litet isoleringslager ovanpå råsponten leder till en minskad risk förmögel.Ytterväggar med tjockare isolering är mer benägna att skadas i jämförelse med mindre isoleradeväggar. Dock är det visat att en uttökad isoleringstjocklek även kan vara till fördel för att minskamögelrisken om isoleringslagret som uttökas är det yttersta isoleringslagret. Ett annat krav är attdet yttersta lagret bör ha dränerande egenskaper, exempelvis mineralull. Beräkningarna har ävenpåvisat ett antal andra faktorer som påverkar fuktsäkerheten i dess helhet.

Full textAbstract:
Recently there has been a surge in interest in coupling ensemble-based data assimilation methods with variational methods (commonly referred to as 4DVar). Here we discuss a number of important differences between ensemble-based and variational methods that ought to be considered when attempting to fuse these methods. We note that the Best Linear Unbiased Estimate (BLUE) of the posterior mean over a data assimilation window can only be delivered by data assimilation schemes that utilise the 4-dimensional (4D) forecast covariance of a prior distribution of non-linear forecasts across the data assimilation window. An ensemble Kalman smoother (EnKS) may be viewed as a BLUE approximating data assimilation scheme. In contrast, we use the dual form of 4DVar to show that the most likely non-linear trajectory corresponding to the posterior mode across a data assimilation window can only be delivered by data assimilation schemes that create counterparts of the 4D prior forecast covariance using a tangent linear model. Since 4DVar schemes have the required structural framework to identify posterior modes, in contrast to the EnKS, they may be viewed as mode approximating data assimilation schemes. Hence, when aspects of the EnKS and 4DVar data assimilation schemes are blended together in a hybrid, one would like to be able to understand how such changes would affect the mode-or mean-finding abilities of the data assimilation schemes. This article helps build such understanding using a series of simple examples. We argue that this understanding has important implications to both the interpretation of the hybrid state estimates and to their design.

Full textAbstract:
The topics of self-esteem and social inclusion have been subject to much research in educational psychology, with positive correlation often being found to exist between the two. However, very little research has been conducted into the efficacy of guided imagery - a person-centred cognitive therapeutic technique – on enhancing either self-esteem or social inclusion, particularly in school-age populations. Identifying the gap in existing literature, this study therefore assessed the extent to which a five-session guided imagery intervention was associated with increases in both self-esteem (as measured by the Lawrence Self-Esteem Questionnaire; Lawrence, 1982) and social inclusion (as measured by the Social Inclusion Survey; Frederickson & Graham, 1999, and the Peer Problems and Prosocial Behaviour subscales of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire; Goodman, 1997). This quantitative data was supplemented by a limited collection of qualitative questionnaire data, which was analysed using content analysis. Both forms of data were collected from 46 Year 4 and 5 pupils from three mainstream primary schools, who had been randomly allocated either to experimental groups or waiting list control groups. Qualitative data was also collected from the four members of school staff who had been trained in facilitating the intervention. Data analysis indicated that the guided imagery intervention had few salient effects on self-esteem or social inclusion as measured by the instruments used, but there was some qualitative evidence of increased self-esteem and social inclusion of participants in the experimental condition. The results of this study are discussed in the context of existing literature, and implications for future research and practice are explored.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with the new building of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Veveří street, Brno. The area discussed is situated on the border between Brno-střed and Brno-Žabovesky. It is delineated by Veveří, Šumavská, and Bulínova streets. The design concerns a complex of two universities, which comes from the new draft of local plan of Brno. This plan copes with a draft of an underground tram track. The design also follows the building programme which has been created for an architectural competition in Akademické square in Brno. Both the Faculty of Fine Arts and the Institute of Forensic Engineering (which is expected to be converted into the Faculty of Forensic Engineering) will be moved to this compound. Furthermore, common conveniences, used by all of the dislocated organization units, will be situated there, including the assembly hall, university canteen, library, exhibition grounds and technical support. Apart from the buildings of VUT, the campus will include a parking lot, requested and financed by the municipal authority of Brno, which will replace current parking spots. The arrangement of the campus proposed will allow a successive construction - during the first phase, all the parking lots must be built and subsequently, the individual faculties. FaVU will be composed of three traditional disciplines - painting, sculpture and intermedia - which will include other subdisciplines. In the design proposed, there are also external sites designed for the art of sculpture.

This characteristic can increase the performance of the permanent magnet brushless motor. In other words, through using the Ansys Maxwell finite element method we analyze the motor cogging, the dynamic torque, and the air gap flux density of the permanent magnet brushless motor whose structure is with three-phase, eight-pole, and nine-slot of Halbach cylinders. Furthermore, we compare the differences between the radial magnetization and Halbach magnetization types of the permanent magnet brushless motor in terms of the magnetic field and the output characteristics.

de Sá Caetano, Elsa. Cable Vibrations in Cable-Stayed Bridges. International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE), 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.2749/sed009.
Full textAbstract:
<p>The fifty years of experience of construction of cable-stayed bridges since their establishment as a new category among the classical types have brought an immense progress, ranging from design and conception to materials, analysis, construction, observation and retrofitting. The growing construction of cable-stayed bridges has also triggered researchers’ and designers’ attention to the problem of cable vibrations. Intensive research has been developed all over the world during the last two decades as a consequence of the numerous cases of cable vibrations exhibited by all types of cable-stayed bridges.<p>Despite the increased knowledge of the various vibration phenomena, most of the outcomes and research results have been published in journals and conference proceedings and scarce information is currently provided by the existing recommendations and codes. <p>The present book provides a comprehensive survey on the governing phenomena of cable vibration, both associated with direct action of wind and rain: buffeting, vortex-shedding, wake effects, rain-wind vibration; and resulting from the indirect excitation through anchorage oscillation: external and parametric excitation. Methodologies for assessment of the effects of those phenomena are presented and illustrated by practical examples. Control of cable vibrations is then discussed and state-of-art results on the design of passive control devices are presented. <p>The book is complemented with a series of case reports reflecting the practical approach shared by experienced designers and consultants: Yves Bournand (VSL International), Chris Geurts (TNO), Carl Hansvold (Johs. Holt), Allan Larsen (Cowi) and Randall Poston (WDP & Associates).

AbstractTo what extent did SMEs consider active involvement in production as a necessary element of their strategy and how they approached value chain integration to enhance their efficiency are the focus of this chapter. Driven by the necessity of economics and efficiency, SMEs have taken different directions on the integration of their supply chains, ranging from purchasing of components to the final assembly of products. There are a number of integrators who cover the entire supply chain with their firms, sometime even acquiring key suppliers. Many more of the companies are partial integrators, and a few can be characterized as assemblers only. Two examples of firms exist who are specifiers/designers, and operate without their own manufacturing operation, having adopted the fabless state.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractOur chapter analyses the extent to which European countries (1) recognize the caring responsibilities of fathers toward their children and (2) value fathers’ caring role. To do so, we analyze the designs of individual leave policies and reflect on them by assessing available data on leave uptake by fathers in 13 European countries. Our results show that there is great variation in child-related leave designs across Europe. Our findings, in line with previous work, underscore the importance of generous individual non-transferable leave entitlements. Moreover, our findings bring forward aspects of leave designs that are rarely discussed when considering fathers’ leave uptake. Our results indicate that generous non-transferable leave rights should be paired with (a) clearly defined leave periods for fathers, (b) individual entitlement to benefits, and (c) greater scope for flexibility to increase the attractiveness of child-related leave and to strengthen fathers’ position when negotiating their childcare leave.

Full textAbstract:
We present a personal design assistant, DesigNAR, aiming at actively supporting designing. The assistant cooperate with the designer by observing the external design representation on which he is working, by making suggestions to him on how to further elaborate this representation and adapting its (suggestion) behaviour according to the designer’s reactions to those suggestions. DesigNAR implements a Non-Axiomatic Reasoning system on fluid concept representations. This enables DesigNAR to be a situated, creative and adaptive design agent using a constructive memory and grounding of concepts. As discussed in the paper, these features make DesigNAR compatible with the C-K design theory and its C/K/E extension.

Full textAbstract:
Design processes in current industrial contexts require integration between different disciplines and functions, not only within an organisation but also across organisational and even national borders. Many barriers to integration can be observed, however, in multi-disciplinary and multifunctional design projects. One of these barriers is the lack of organisational, management, and social knowledge and skills, on the level of team members as well as on the level of project management. To achieve a sufficient level of integration technical knowledge and skills are necessary but not sufficient. Organisational, management, and social skills are necessary too. In our research on organisation and management of business processes we have found that this last category of knowledge needs improvement for the largest part of design team members and managers. As designers are professionals who have been employed because of their knowledge and skills, gained through prior academic or professional education, the question can be asked to what extent organisational, management, and social knowledge is included in this education. One way to answer this question is by studying the knowledge and skills deemed important for performing design tasks. An important source of this knowledge can be found in journal articles in the area of engineering design. The authors of these articles are in most cases also the ones transferring this knowledge to future designers. In this paper, a study of 94 recently published journals articles is described, which reveals, that organisational, management, and social skills are not yet a major focus of attention. In particular the number of empirical studies on the organisational, social, and managerial behaviour of designers in practical contexts is scarce in the engineering research community. These results will be confronted with results from management and social sciences research. We argue that the gap between these two fields of research needs to be bridged to better prepare designers for their task in current industrial contexts.

In ASME 2003 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference. ASMEDC, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/detc2003/cie-48223.
Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses design problems where creative solutions are required, and proposes a support system for a group of designers engaged in collaborative design processes. There are two merits to such collaboration: the sharing of information and knowledge among members of the design team and the promotion of designer creativity during interactive communication. In the current engineering field, the extent of expertise that one designer can master is narrower than the total area of expertise needed to achieve a successful product design. To achieve practical designs, designers must work cooperatively and share the requisite information and knowledge as the design is developed and optimized. During collaboration, designers exchange various types of information, such as knowledge, ideas, opinions and so on, and this exchange can stimulate their creativity, enabling the generation of more creative ideas than would be possible when working alone. This paper focuses on the enhancement of designer creativity and constructs systems that maximize it during the collaborative design process. This research consists of three steps: formation of a basic model of creative group activity, construction of a support system for creative collaboration based on the basic model, and comparative experiments, conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed support system.

A new, shrouded, high pressure turbine which was designed using a “Controlled Flow” philosophy has been tested in the Turbine Test Facility (TTF) at QinetiQ, Farnborough. Heat transfer results from this new design are reported along with turbine aerodynamics and unsteady static pressure on the rotor blade. This includes measurements on the HP shroud. The measurements are compared with 2D and 3D calculations of heat transfer. These are the first measurements and detailed predictions for this new turbine and provide a good indication of the “state-of-the-art”, i.e. where the designer can have confidence in the predictions and where further work is required.

Full textAbstract:
Successful design processes and tools are vital for the success of any design project, particularly when developing aerospace, automotive and other complex systems that can entail imposing design constraints to meet desired objectives. These constraints, coupled with a lack of uniform strategies to define, acquire and process the interaction between designers and tools, add new challenges to the design process. So appropriate processes and tools that allow problem designers to assist in framing and resolving complex design problems can extend the power of the individual working memory, according to previous research. This current research investigates the behavior of engineers working on a parameter design experiment. In the study, 30 subjects solved parameter design problems with both coupled and uncoupled variables. Results showed a relationship among designers’ actions and other features such as gender, recorded error, problem complexity, and performance. These findings can guide future research into engineering design and can inform ideas for better strategies for various aspects of parameter designing.

Full textAbstract:
Engineering approaches for optimizing designs within a market context generally take the perspective of a single producer, asking what design and price point will maximize producer profit predicted by consumer choice simulations. These approaches treat competitors and retailers as fixed or nonexistent, and they take business-oriented details, such as the structure of distribution channels, as separate issues that can be addressed post hoc by other disciplines. It is well established that the structure of market systems influences optimal product pricing. In this paper, we investigate whether two types of these structures also influence optimal product design decisions; specifically, 1) consumer heterogeneity and 2) distribution channels. We first model firms as players in a profit-seeking game that compete on product attributes and prices. We then model the interactions of manufacturers and retailers in Nash competition under alternative market structures and compare the equilibrium conditions for each case. We find that when consumers are modeled as homogeneous in their preferences, optimal design can be decoupled from the game, and design decisions can be made without regard to price, competition, or channel structure. However, when consumer preferences are heterogeneous, the behavior of competitors and retailers is key to determining which designs are profitable. We examine the extent of this effect in a vehicle design case study from the literature and find that the presence of heterogeneity leads different market structures to imply significantly different profit-maximizing designs.

Full textAbstract:
Emotional qualities such as the product’s aesthetics are regarded as critical factors in mature products. In the mean time, the products, whichever they are matured or not, must satisfy the functional requirements from the customers considering the technical constraints. For emotional designing, the designer’s view point towards the design object plays a very critical role. However, those views are not well taken care of in the conventional design support tools. The author proposed the idea of perspective browsing, where the designer’s viewpoint is represented as “Perspective”. There can be a variety of “Perspective” during the product designing process, and these are all dynamic. If “Perspective” is well taken care of, kept, and shared during the designing process, the designer’s thought can be well maintained, activated, and transferred to the product design. To verify the effectiveness of the idea, Intuition-based Browsing Interaction system, or IBI system has been designed to support a bicycle design and implemented as a software tool. The main module of IBI is composed of four sub-modules; namely, parts/component, size/shape, technical calculation, and 3D modeling. Basic user interface is implemented to control the design operation. However, intuitive user interface is wrapped over the basic interface so that the user can intuitively use the system as an idea generation support tool. Some modules have a function as a portal to other systems or modules. Parts/component module works with internal/external database and 3D modeling module works with external modeling software. Showing the interaction example for a bicycle design, this paper presents how IBI system supports the designer. Even though IBI is still a prototype system for bicycle design, perspective browsing can be recognized for designing process of a bicycle. The designer can freely access to the design object from different perspectives to modify, update, change, evaluate in an intuitive manner. The target user of IBI is not only limited to product designer, but also is aimed at the customer who use the bicycle. Therefore, the customers themselves can participate in the designing activities and contribute to create innovative design based on the emotional feelings and inspirations.

highlight the need for patient-focused and value-adding qualification, validation, and change control programmes for manufacturing and regulating medicinal products in the EU, which are cost-effective and in-line with current regulatory requirements and guidance. To this end, a formal risk management solution was presented that seeks to demonstrate, in a practical way, how Regulators and Industry in the EU may achieve these goals. This solution represents a formal and rigorous approach to risk management, offering a scientific and practical means for determining and managing, on a risk basis, the scope and extent of qualification and validation, and the likely impact of changes. Based on a ten-step, systematic process, this approach offers a ready-to-use and documented risk management methodology for these activities. This tool is not intended for use in all situations, or to address all risk areas or concerns encountered in GMP and Regulatory Compliance environments. Rather, its use should be commensurate with the complexity and/or criticality of the issue to be addressed, and in many instances, and in-line with ICH Q9 principles, a more informal approach to risk management may be more useful, and indeed proportionate.

Full textAbstract:
With the current state of automotive electrification, predicting which electrification pathway is likely to be the most economical over a 10- to 30-year outlook is wrought with uncertainty. The development of a range of technologies should continue, including statically charged battery electric vehicles (BEVs), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and EVs designed for a combination of plug-in and electric road system (ERS) supply. The most significant uncertainties are for the costs related to hydrogen supply, electrical supply, and battery life. This greatly is dependent on electrolyzers, fuel-cell costs, life spans and efficiencies, distribution and storage, and the price of renewable electricity. Green hydrogen will also be required as an industrial feedstock for difficult-to-decarbonize areas such as aviation and steel production, and for seasonal energy buffering in the grid. For ERSs, it is critical to understand how battery life will be affected by frequent cycling and the extent to which battery technology from hybrid vehicles can be applied. Unsettled Issues in Electrical Demand for Automotive Electrification Pathways dives into the most critical issues the mobility industry is facing.

[Extract from Executive Summary] This report documents Work Package 7 of the Scottish Inshore Fisheries Integrated Data Systems (SIFIDS) Project, which was designed to facilitate engagement with the key stakeholders including; inshore fishers, their representative bodies, Regional Inshore Fisheries Groups, Marine Scotland including Policy, Compliance and Science. The SIFIDS Project focused on 12 metre and under inshore fisheries vessels, of which around 1,500 are registered in Scotland including those that work part-time or seasonally. The facilitation team was set various targets for engagement based on the requirements of other work packages. The success of the overall project was dependent to a significant extent on securing voluntary engagement and input from working fishers. Previous experience has shown that having a dedicated project facilitation team is an extremely effective model for establishing the necessary trust to encourage industry-participation in projects such as this. The WP7 facilitation team comprised three individuals who have significant marine and fisheries related experience and wide-ranging skills in communications and stakeholder engagement. They worked together flexibly on a part-time basis, ensuring staffing cover over extended hours where required to match fishers’ availability and geographical coverage over Scotland.

Full textAbstract:
Changes in climate and extreme weather are already increasing challenges for agriculture nationally and
 globally, and many of these impacts will continue into the future. This technical bulletin contains information and resources designed to help agricultural producers, service providers, and educators in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States integrate climate change considerations and action-oriented decisions into existing farm and conservation plans. An Adaptation Workbook provides producers a flexible, structured process to identify and assess climate change impacts, challenges, opportunities, and farm-level adaptation tactics and continuously evaluate adaptation actions for improving responses to extreme and uncertain conditions. A synthesis of Adaptation Strategies and Approaches serves as a “menu” of potential responses organized to provide a clear rationale for making decisions by connecting planned actions to broad adaptation concepts. Responses address both short- and long-range timeframes and extend from incremental adjustments of existing practices to major alterations that transform the entire farm operation. Example adaptation tactics—prescriptive actions for agricultural production systems common in the region—for each approach guide producers, service
 providers, and educators to develop appropriate responses for their farms and location. Four Adaptation
 Examples demonstrate how these adaptation process resources are used.

Full textAbstract:
This report describes the design, implementation and outcomes of the initial version of the NSF-funded Journey to El Yunque curriculum, released in 2005. As formative evaluators, the role of SRI International was to document the development of the curriculum and to collect empirical evidence on the impact of the intervention on student achievement. The evaluation answers four research questions: How well does the Journey to El Yunque curriculum and accompanying assessments align with the National Science Education Standards for content and inquiry? How do teachers rate the effectiveness of the professional development workshop in teaching them to use the Journey to El Yunque curriculum and assessment materials? How do teachers implement the Journey to El Yunque curriculum? To what extent does the Journey to El Yunque curriculum increase students’ understanding ofecology and scientific inquiry abilities? The evaluators concluded that Journey to El Yunque is a well-designed curriculum and assessment replacement unit that addresses important science content and inquiry skills. The curriculum and assessments are aligned to life science content standards and key ecological concepts, and materials cover a broad range of these standards and concepts. Journey to El Yunque students scored significantly higher on the posttest than students learning ecology from traditional means with effect size 0.20.

Full textAbstract:
20 years ago a concept of “Green Chemistry” was formulated by Paul Anastas and John Warner, aiming at an ambitious agenda to “green” chemical products and processes. Today the concept, laid down in a set of 12 principles, has found support in various arenas. This diffusion was supported by enhancements of the legislative framework; not only in the European Union. Nevertheless industry actors – whilst generally supporting the idea – still see “cost and perception remain barriers to green chemistry uptake”. Thus, the questions arise how additional incentives as well as measures to address the barriers and impediments can be provided. An analysis addressing these questions has to take into account the institutional context for the relevant actors involved in the issue. And it has to reflect the problem perception of the different stakeholders. The supply chain into which the chemicals are distributed are of pivotal importance since they create the demand pull for chemicals designed in accordance with the “Green Chemistry Principles”. Consequently, the scope of this study includes all stages in a chemical’s life-cycle, including the process of designing and producing the final products to which chemical substances contribute. For each stage the most relevant legislative acts, together establishing the regulatory framework of the “chemicals policy” in the EU are analysed. In a nutshell the main elements of the study can be summarized as follows: Green Chemistry (GC) is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Besides, reaction efficiency, including energy efficiency, and the use of renewable resources are other motives of Green Chemistry. Putting the GC concept in a broader market context, however, it can only prevail if in the perception of the relevant actors it is linked to tangible business cases. Therefore, the study analyses the product context in which chemistry is to be applied, as well as the substance’s entire life-cycle – in other words, the six stages in product innovation processes): 1. Substance design, 2. Production process, 3. Interaction in the supply chain, 4. Product design, 5. Use phase and 6. After use phase of the product (towards a “circular economy”). The report presents an overview to what extent the existing framework, i.e. legislation and the wider institutional context along the six stages, is setting incentives for actors to adequately address problematic substances and their potential impacts, including the learning processes intended to invoke creativity of various actors to solve challenges posed by these substances. In this respect, measured against the GC and Learning Process assessment criteria, the study identified shortcomings (“delta”) at each stage of product innovation. Some criteria are covered by the regulatory framework and to a relevant extent implemented by the actors. With respect to those criteria, there is thus no priority need for further action. Other criteria are only to a certain degree covered by the regulatory framework, due to various and often interlinked reasons. For those criteria, entry points for options to strengthen or further nuance coverage of the respective principle already exist. Most relevant are the deltas with regard to those instruments that influence the design phase; both for the chemical substance as such and for the end-product containing the substance. Due to the multi-tier supply chains, provisions fostering information, communication and cooperation of the various actors are crucial to underpin the learning processes towards the GCP. The policy options aim to tackle these shortcomings in the context of the respective stage in order to support those actors who are willing to change their attitude and their business decisions towards GC. The findings are in general coherence with the strategies to foster GC identified by the Green Chemistry & Commerce Council.
