Riaz, Atif. "A set-based approach to passenger aircraft family design." Thesis, Cranfield University, 2015. http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/9723.

Abstract:

In today's highly competitive civil aviation market, aircraft manufacturers develop aircraft families in order to satisfy a wide range of requirements from multiple airlines, with reduced costs of ownership and shorter lead time. Traditional methods for designing passenger aircraft families employ a sequential, optimisation-based approach, where a single configuration and systems architecture is selected fairly early which is then iteratively analysed and modified until all the requirements are met. The problem with such an approach is the tendency of the optimisers to exploit assumptions alre

Abstract:

Objectives: Genetic association studies have shown that genes play a role in the incidence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. However, the relationship between genes and response to medication (methylphenidate) has not been studied extensively, with very few findings and difficulty in replication. Possible reasons for the lack of findings could be due to the difficulty in defining a valid, objective measure of response to treatment. Furthermore, traditional statistical methods may have shortcomings when used in genetic association studies. Our objectives are:

Abstract:

In software product line engineering, the construction of an architecture for a product family is still an outstanding engineering challenge. In current practice, a framework is used for configuring individual products by combining solution space artefacts into products with specified features according to a feature model. No architectures are created. In contrast, an architecture for a product family would define the architectures for all the products in the family, allowing engineers to reason at a higher level of abstraction. In this thesis, we present a component model that can be used to

In Victoria, Australia, the family services system is characterised by high referral rates and ongoing challenges to meet the needs of families who are experiencing risks and vulnerabilities. These issues are demonstrating the fact that there is a need to strengthen the level of community support that is being provided to children and their families prior to the escalation of their circumstances. Although the current neoliberal family services system has a key policy priority of reducing and managing family risk and vulnerability, it is neglecting to account for what families no longer want or

The impact of the epidemic is so severe that it is likened to an armed conflict.

Abstract:

Public policy has been shifting from child abuse and neglect (CAN) intervention toward prevention, using public health style frameworks, which emphasize shared community and legislative responsibilities to support families (Browne, 2014; CDC, 2014). Analysis of qualitative data from statewide focus groups held in 2019 in Alabama with 99 community-based CAN prevention workers shows strengths in community collaboration, but also, struggles to help families meet basic needs because of lack of community resources, such as transportation and quality child care, and other barriers, including stigma.

Consanguinity is the union of closely related individuals - which can have genetic implications on the health of offspring(s).

Two copies of the 'inactivating' or loss of function (LoF) allele are required to cause an autosomal recessive disorder, one inherited from the mother and the other from the father. In outbreeding populations these LoF alleles very rarely meet their counterpart (as it requires both pa

In particular, they are involved in the specification of segmental identity, and in the tetrapod limb differentiation. In vertebrates, this family of genes can be divided into 14 groups of homology. Common methods to classify Hox proteins focus on the homeodomain. Clas
