Popescue, Elizabeth Ashley. "Agreement of Peer Comparison Data Between Direct Behavior Rating Scales and Systematic Direct Observation Methods." DigitalCommons@USU, 2012. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/1305.
Full textAbstract:
Recently, Direct Behavior Ratings have been shown to be a promising new tool for observing students and classrooms in an education setting for a variety of behaviors. The traditional method of observing students and classroom behavior was through tools called Systemic Direct Observations. Currently, there are only a few studies looking at the use of a Direct Behavior Rating as a device to collect peer comparison data to estimate classwide behavior problems. This study examined the estimated percentages of on-task and disruptive behavior between a Systemic Direct Observation with momentary time sampling and three random peers, a Systemic Direct Observation with momentary time sampling using the entire class, and a Direct Behavior Rating. Multiple undergraduate classrooms were taped and divided up into twenty-five 7-minute segments. The videos were then coded on all three of the observation forms with 100% reliability ratings. Results indicated that there was a strong relationship between the Direct Behavior Rating and the SDO classwide on-task estimates with 37% of the variance in the Systemic Direct Observation classwide data consistent with the Direct Behavior Rating data. There was a moderate relationship between the on-task Direct Behavior Rating and three-peer on-task with 13% of the variance in the Systemic Direct Observation data as a portion of the Direct Behavior Rating data. Results also showed that there was a significant correlation between Direct Behavior Rating both of the Systemic Direct Observation methods with 43% for the classwide Systemic Direct Observation and 39% of the three-peers Systemic Direct Observation variance consistent with the Direct Behavior Rating data. Implications and future directions were considered. The research yielded results that indicated that Direct Behavior Ratings might be a useful tool when evaluating classwide behavior, and that further research is warranted.

Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent)The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of direct versus indirect bracket placement in orthodontics in a controlled setting. The more accurate the initial bracket placement is the less time will be required in terms of treatment. Accurate bracket placement can reduce the envelope of error in the three dimensions of vertical (incisal height, height of tooth), horizontal (mesial-distal) and angular (degrees incisal to root apex causing rotational irregularities) based on Andrews’ six keys to normal occlusion (Andrews, 1979). In this comparative experimental study, 10 Class I molar relation study models were selected from the researcher’s practice archives. Only the MBT pre-adjusted or angulated orthodontic brackets were used on manikins, followed by the use of 3D CAD CAM technology to evaluate the results against a pre-determined golden standard.

The main aim of Diploma thesis is to evaluate the family house before and after reconstruction in three different locations graded by population. Three selected methods are used for the valuation, namely: the cost method according to the valuation regulation, the comparative method according to the valuation regulation, and the method of direct comparison. The cost method takes into account the design of the family house in both states, the land is valued by direct comparison. Key indexes are taken into account in the comparative method according to the valuation rule. In the direct comparison method, we work with a database of single-family houses in a range of locations.

Full textAbstract:
We have designed an electrophoresis system that can purify plasmid DNA from a culture without centrifugation. This system is based on electrofiltration where bacterial cell lysates are loaded in one chamber and the purified plasmid DNA is recovered in an adjacent chamber. These two chambers are separated by a membrane made of regenerated cellulose, which allows plasmid DNA to migrate to the recovery chamber while retaining most contaminants in the loading chamber. Unfortunately, even with the optimization of the parameters involved in the electrofiltration, the only DNA that can pass through the middle membrane still has some contaminants, which prevent sequencing of the plasmid. Our results have shown that a pure plasmid cannot cross a membrane with pores small enough to prevent the migration of most of the contaminants. Only a plasmid complexed with some contaminants can cross a small pore membrane. In parallel, we have compared six direct sequencing methods that do not require any plasmid purification prior to the sequencing reaction. We compared the reliability, quality of sequences, time required, and cost of these six methods. We found that the best method was that of Zhang et al. (1999). This method is fast, reliable, produces good quality sequences and is inexpensive. The performance of this method is due to the amount of ABI's ready reaction mix used, the pre-sequencing heating step to lyse the cell, the large volume of the PCR sequencing reaction and the addition of BSA.

Sanghi, Shweta. "Membership Functions for a Fuzzy Relational Database: A Comparison of the Direct Rating and New Random Proportional Methods." VCU Scholars Compass, 2006. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/1366.
Full textAbstract:
Fuzzy relational databases deal with imprecise data or fuzzy information in a relational database. The purpose of this fuzzy database implementation is to retrieve images by using fuzzy queries whose common-language descriptions are defined by the consensus of a particular user community. The fuzzy set, which is presentation of fuzzy attribute values of the images, is determined through membership function. This paper compares two methods of constructing membership functions, the Direct Rating and New Random Proportional, to determine which method gives maximum users satisfaction with minimum feedback from the community. The statistical analysis of results suggests the use of Direct Rating method. Moreover, the analysis shows that the performance of the New Random Proportional method can be improved with the inclusion of a "Not" modifier. This paper also identifies and analyzes issues that are raised by different versions of the database system.

Mestrado em Engenharia Agronómica - Instituto Superior de AgronomiaVegetation parameters, as the leaf area index (LAI) and the ground cover (GC) are commonly related to biosphere processes, being used in models to estimate yield and crop water requirements. Several direct and indirect methods have been developed in the past decades to determine the LAI. However, a simple approach to assess this parameter is still missing. In this study we tested the operability and precision of different methods to calculate the LAI of 6 and 20 year old olive trees (Arbequina and Cobrançosa), under irrigated and non-irrigated conditions in the region of Alentejo. The average LAI on a projected area basis was estimated to be 5.88 and 2.75 m2 m-2 at the irrigated and non-irrigated sites, respectively, corresponding to 1.01 and 1.05 m2 m-2 on a total area basis. Furthermore, a tool was introduced to simplify the decision making between the use of the LAI and the GC. The determination of the GC is much easier than the LAI in practical uses. The average GC was 5.7 m2 under irrigated and 18.0 m2 under non-irrigated conditions. A detailed comparison between direct and indirect methods is given and the future prospective of the decision making tool is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years physical inactivity among students has become a matter of great concern. Nearly 65% of students do not meet the daily recommended level of physical activity, which is 60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day, with 50% of that time being spent in moderate to vigorous levels of activity (CDC, 2010b). As a result, the 21st century has shown to be a time of many health problems such as, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. In fact, nearly one third of all children are considered obese or overweight (Slawta & DeNeui, 2009). Researchers suggest that these health problems are directly related to students' sedentary lifestyles (Pate et al., 2006). Schools play a pivotal role in addressing and increasing physical activity during the school day.
The purpose of this research study was to measure levels of physical activity in elementary students during school hours. Specifically, the study sought to discover if there were increased levels of physical activity while students were using a cross-curricular adventure playground, as compared to when they were engaged in free play or physical education class. The study also compared the different measurement types (pedometers, accelerometers, and the observational method) used to assess physical activity, to indicate which measurement types were most feasible in the elementary school setting. Schools are ideal locations for assessing levels of physical activity, as 95% of all children are enrolled in these learning institutions (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2005).
The data indicate that physical education provided for the highest levels of moderate to vigorous activity, while both free play and cross-curricular activity still rendered adequate levels of physical activity. After studying the different measurement protocols (pedometers, accelerometers, and the observational method) used in this study, results suggested the pedometer to be the most feasible device to use for measuring children in these types of physical activity settings. One implication for practice was implementing cross-curricular physical activity as a supplement to other physical activities or as an addition to physical education classes in an effort to allow more time for academic instruction while having students engaged in physical activity. Another recommendation for practice was to use pedometers as a cost-effective physical activity measurement device for elementary students.

Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal, Vol 8, Issue 2: Central University of Technology Free State Bloemfontein, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/11462/375.
Full textAbstract:
Published ArticleA stream flow at an outlet of a catchment can be entirely a base flow or direct flow or a combination of both. The base flow component of a stream is mainly contributed from the ground water storage which often is an open aquifer whereas the direct flow component is mainly the result of a direct response of a rainfall event. The Upper Modder river basin catchment is considered to be the origin of the Modder River which supplies water to Rustfontein Dam, situated at the outlet of the C52A with an area of 928 km2. Nine years of daily stream flow showed a continuous none zero discharge throughout the year. During the rainy season the discharge of the stream increases significantly. Thus, it is necessary to separate the direct and base flow of the stream in order to understand the important component that is more likely to be affected by different land use changes in a catchment. The Modder river daily mean flow at the inlet of Rustfontein dam (in Central South Africa) was analysed using four base flow separation methods, the Nathan & McMahon (N&M), the Chapman, Smakhtin & Watkins (S&W) method and the frequency duration analysis. All the methods gave higher percentage of the low flow component, except for the S&W method which underestimated it. The N&M filtering equation gave base flow components greater than 66% in 1999 and increased to 84% in 2007 while the Chapman equation revealed 65% and 74% in 1999 and 2007, respectively. Similarly, the frequency duration analysis gave 62% in 1999 and increased to 79% in 2007. The frequency duration analysis gave up to 13% lower percentage than the N&M (1990) filtering equation. The nine year base flow averages are 69%, 69% and 75% for frequency duration analysis, Chapman (1999) and N&M (1990) filtering equations, respectively. The result revealed that the Modder River is largely supplied by the ground water discharge. The result seemed to concur with the fact that for a semi-arid catchment such as the Modder river basin, with an average annual runoff coefficient of approximately 6%, the contribution of annual rainfall to direct runoff is very minimal.

Etylenglykol (EG) är ett toxiskt ämne som kan orsaka livsfarliga komplikationer. Syftet med studien var att genom systematiska litteratursökningar göra en sammanställning och en jämförelse av metoder som används för direkt kvantifiering av EG i patientprov. Studien utfördes med en systematisk litteraturstudiemetod, genom litteratursökning i två databaser: PubMed och MEDLINE. Datasökningens resultat var 12 vetenskapliga artiklar som validerade fyra direkta kvantifieringsmetoder. De kvantifieringsmetoderna av EG delades upp i fyra grupper: enzymatiska, gaskromatografi med flammajoniserings detektor (GC-FID), gaskromatografi masspektrometri (GC-MS) och vätskekromatografi-tandem-masspektrometri (LC–MS-MS). De fyra metoderna jämfördes för att bestämma vilken metod som har bäst sensitivitet och specificitet. Däremot kunde denna jämförelse inte utföras i GC-MS och LC–MS-MS på grund av avsaknad data för vissa sensitivitet och specificitet parametrar och därav så jämfördes endast enzymatisk metoder och GC-FID mot varandra. Slutsatsen av jämförelsen mellan GC-FID och enzymatiska metoder har antytt på att den termiska desorption-gaskromatografi med flammajoniserings detektor (TDC-GC-FID), som var en ny utveckling av GC-FID, var den bästa metoden utifrån dens sensitivitet och specificitet. Det behövs dock utföras studier där alla fyra metoder testas för samma parametrar för att bestämma den absoluta bästa metoden för direkt kvantifiering av EG.Ethylene glycol (EG) is a toxic substance that can cause life threatening complications. The aim of this study was through systematic literature searches create a summary and comparison between methods used for direct quantification of EG in patient samples. The study performed a literature study in the databases: PubMed and MEDLINE. The data search resulted in 12 scientific articles that validated four direct quantification methods. Those methods were: enzymatic, gas chromatography with flame ionizing detector (GC-FID), gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). The four methods were compared to decide which method had the best specificity and sensitivity. This comparison could not be done in GC-MS and LC-MS-MS due to missing data for certain specificity and sensitivity parameters and therefore only GC-FID and enzymatic methods were compared to each other. The conclusion of the comparison between GC-FID and enzymatic methods have resulted in that the thermal desorption gas chromatography with flame ionizing detector (TDC-GC-FID), that was a newly developed GC-FID, was the best method due to its specificity and sensitivity. Future studies where all four methods are tested for the same parameters to decide the absolute best method for direct quantification of EG is needed.

The subject of this master thesis is detection how the redevelopment and refurbishment affect regular price of family house. For valuation I chose the building in which I grew up so I know it very good. The family house is located in small south-moravian town Kyjov, in district Nětčice. The family house has a basement and two upper floors. Constructions were completed in 1962. Since 1976 many quite expensive redevelopment and refurbishment have been done. For property valuation is used method of direct comparison with the use of database of similar family houses in Kyjov and also cost method according to law number 441/2013 Sb. Valuation is done in two versions – for building in original condition (in 1985) and in current condition. All at once a couple of variants of redevelopment, which are common nowadays, and for one variant is made the itemized budget. Result of this master thesis should be detection if it is better to buy house after redevelopment and refurbishment or house in original condition and make these structural modifications until then.

Les facteurs de risque de troubles musculo-squelettiques(TMS) tels que les facteurs physiques, organisationnels et psychosociaux sont un défi commun pour les industries de l'assemblage automobile qui entrainent des effets indésirables sur le système et les humains. L’ergonomie a déjà été intégrée dans les systèmes de production de ces industries pour la prise en charge de la prévention des TMS. La question est de savoir si l'approche ergonomique actuelle des industries automobiles, sur la base de normes à l'entreprise et des méthodes d'observation, peut fournir une connaissance partagée des facteurs ergonomiques pour les divers intervenants et pour faciliter l'amélioration des conditions de travail. Cette étude aborde la problématique du positionnement des différents méthodes d'évaluation (utilisées par les différents intervenants) et compare les résultats et apports de chaque méthode d'évaluation. Cette thèse propose que la procédure actuelle d'évaluation des risques de TMS ne favorise pas une connaissance partagée entre les intervenants dans les industries automobiles. On constate que les évaluations par auto-questionnaire (opérateurs) sont significativement différentes de celles issues des méthodes d'observation (ergonome) et des mesures directes (analyse biomécanique). Cependant, les opinions et jugements des opérateurs concernant les facteurs ergonomiques sont importants pour faciliter la réussite d'une approche ergonomique. Un entretien structuré et systématisé, basé sur des données objectives (Video-observations ou de mesure directe) liées aux activités et stratégies des opérateurs, pourrait être une procédure appropriée pour faire progresser l'ergonomie des situations de travail. Enfin, la connaissance tirée de cette thèse souligne que la variabilité des tâches dans l’industrie automobile nécessite une approche ergonomique qui partage les connaissances des risques entre les intervenants. Dans cette approche, les attitudes et les comportements des opérateurs sont pris en compte dans les projets d’amélioration continue. De plus, la participation des intervenants devrait être intégrée afin d'améliorer la prise en compte de l'ergonomie dans la production. Une synthèse de cette thèse en Français a été fournie dans l’annexe premièreMusculoskeletal risk factors such as physical, organizational and psychosocial factors are a common challenge for the automotive assembly industries and result in adverse human and system effects. Ergonomics has already been integrated inthe production systems of such factories to eliminate work related musculoskeletal disorders (WR-MSDs). The issue is whether the current ergonomic approach of car industries, based on corporate standards and observational methods, can provide a shared knowledge of ergonomic factors for various stakeholders and facilitate ergonomic improvement. This study focuses on the positioning of the different assessment methods (used by various stakeholders), agreement between their results in evaluation of physical risk factors and the influence of intervention and improvement following ergonomic assessment. This thesis proposes that the current procedure of risk factor assessment can not provide ashared knowledge and representation of risks between stakeholders in manufacturing industries. It was found that the operators’ assessments of risk factors (self-reported questionnaire) were significantly different from those assessed by observational methods (ergonomist) and direct measurement. However, the operators’ opinions and judgments of ergonomic factors of a job are of particular importance to the success of an ergonomic approach. A structured interview based on objective data (video-observation or direct measurement) linked the activities and strategies of atrisk operators might be an appropriate procedure to advance ergonomics.The knowledge gained from this study emphasizes that the variable nature of tasks in manufacturing industries needs an ergonomic approach which shares knowledge and representation of risks between stakeholders. In such an approach, attitudes and behaviors of operators are taken into consideration in developing new intervention processes, organizational and technical remedies. Moreover, involvement of stakeholders should be integrated and this should result in improving production ergonomics

Full textAbstract:
The primary subject matter of the report is the Hirota Direct Method, and the primary goal of the report is to describe and derive the method in detail, and then use it to produce analytic soliton solutions to the Boussinesq equation and the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Our hope is that the report may also serve as an introduction to soliton theory at an undergraduate level. The report follows the structure of first introducing Hirota's bi-linear operator and giving an account of its relevant properties. The properties of the operator are then used to find soliton solutions for differential equations that can be expressed in a "bilinear" form. Thereafter, a set of methods for finding the bilinear form of a more general non-linear differential equation are presented. Finally, we apply the tools to the Boussinesq and KdV equations respectively to derive their soliton solutions.

Ce travail de thèse porte sur la modélisation des potentiels évoqués cortico-corticaux (PECCs) induits par stimulation électrique intracérébrale lors de procédures de chirurgie de l’épilepsie en stéréo-électroencéphalographie. Nous utilisons pour cela des modèles de masse neurale de type modèles causaux dynamiques (Dynamic causal modeling, DCM).Dans un premier temps, nous démontrons l'importance d'utiliser une technique d'intégration précise pour résoudre le système d'équations différentielles formalisant la dynamique du modèle (Lemaréchal et al., 2018), en particulier pour une estimation précise des paramètres neuronaux du modèle.Dans une seconde étude, nous développons cette méthodologie pour l'appliquer aux PECCs de la base de données du projet F-TRACT. Les délais et les vitesses de propagation axonale entre régions cérébrales ainsi que les constantes de temps synaptiques locales sont estimés et projetés sur des parcellisations corticales validées par la communauté internationale en neuroimagerie. Le nombre important de jeux de données utilisés dans cette étude (>300) permet en particulier de mettre en évidence des différences de propriétés dynamiques de connectivité en fonction de l'âge des populations considérées (Lemaréchal et al., soumis).Enfin, le dernier travail montre comment, dans le contexte Bayésien de DCM, un atlas de connectivité peut servir à améliorer la spécification et l'estimation d'un modèle de masse neurale pour l’explication de données électrophysiologiques de surface de type électroencéphalographique ou magnétoencéphalographique, en fournissant des distributions a priori sur ses paramètres de connectivité.Dans l'ensemble, cette thèse propose de nouvelles estimations des propriétés dynamiques des interactions cortico-corticales. Grâce à la publication et à la mise à disposition de nouveaux atlas regroupant ces propriétés neuronales, les résultats générés peuvent dès à présent servir à une meilleure spécification et une estimation plus précise de modèles neuronaux de cerveau entierThis thesis work aims at modeling cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs) induced by intracortical direct electrical stimulation in epileptic patients being recorded with stereo-electroencephalography during epilepsy surgery. Neural mass models implemented within the dynamic causal modeling (DCM) framework are used for this purpose.We first demonstrate the importance of using an accurate integration scheme to solve the system of differential equations governing the global dynamics of the model, in particular to obtain precise estimates of the neuronal parameters of the model (Lemaréchal et al., 2018).In a second study, this methodology is applied to a large dataset from the F-TRACT project. The axonal conduction delays and speeds between brain regions, as well as the local synaptic time constants are estimated and their spatial mapping is obtained based on validated cortical parcellation schemes. Interestingly, the large amount of data included in this study allow to highlight brain dynamics differences between the young and the older populations (Lemaréchal et al., submitted).Finally, in the Bayesian context of DCM, we show that an atlas of connectivity can improve the specification and the estimation of a neural mass model, for electroencephalographic and magnetoencephalographic studies, by providing a priori distributions on the connectivity parameters of the model.To sum up, this work provides novel insights on dynamical properties of cortico-cortical interactions. The publication of our results in the form of an atlas of neuronal properties already provides an effective tool for a better specification of whole brain neuronal models

Le problème de l'imagerie non itérative dans le cadre de la diffraction électromagnétique inverse utilisant la méthode d'échantillonnage direct (DSM) est considéré. Grâce à une combinaison de l'expression asymptotique du champ proche ou du champ lointain diffracté et de l'hypothèse de petits obstacles, les expressions analytiques de la fonction d'indicateur DSM sont présentées dans diverses configurations telles que des configurations 2D/3D, mono-/multi-configurations statiques, à vue limitée/complète et fréquence unique/ diversité en fréquence. Une fois l'expression analytique obtenue, sa structure est analysée et des améliorations proposées. Notre approche est validée à l’aide de données de simulation, et d’expériences le cas échéant. Premièrement, la structure mathématique du DSM à fréquence fixe en 2D dans divers problèmes de diffusion est établie, permettant une analyse théorique de son efficacité et de ses limites. Pour surmonter les limitations connues, une méthode alternative d'échantillonnage direct (DSMA) est proposée. Puis le cas multi-fréquence est investigué en introduisant et en analysant le DSM multi-fréquence (MDSM) et le DSMA multi-fréquence (MDSMA). Enfin, notre approche est étendue aux problèmes de diffraction électromagnétique inverse 3D pour lesquels le choix de la polarisation du dipôle de test est un paramètre clé. De par notre approche analytique, ce choix peut être effectué sur la base de la polarisation du champ incidentThe non-iterative imaging problem within the inverse electromagnetic scattering framework using the direct sampling method (DSM) is considered. Thanks to the combination of the asymptotic expression of the scattered near-field or far-field and of the small obstacle hypothesis the analytical expressions of the DSM indicator function are presented in various configurations such as 2D/3D configurations and/or mono-/multi-static configurations and/or limited-/full-view case and/or mono-/multi-frequency case. Once the analytical expression obtained, its structure is analyzed and improvements proposed. Our approach is validated using synthetic data and experimental ones when available. First, the mathematical structure of DSM at a fixed frequency in 2D various scattering problems is established allowing a theoretical analysis of its efficiency and limitations. To overcome the known limitations an alternative direct sampling method (DSMA) is proposed. Next, the multi-frequency case is investigated by introducing and analyzing the multi-frequency DSM (MDSM) and the multi-frequency DSMA (MDSMA).Finally, our approach is extended to 3D inverse electromagnetic scattering problems for which the choice of the polarization of the test dipole is a key parameter. Thanks to our analytical analysis it can be made based on the polarization of the incident field

Includes bibliographical references (p. [73]-74).
This thesis develops and evaluates Gap-tooth DSMC (GT-DSMC), a direct Monte Carlo simulation procedure for dilute gases combined with the Gap-tooth method of Gear, Li, and Kevrekidis. The latter was proposed as a means of reducing the computational cost of microscopic (e.g. molecular) simulation methods using simulation particles only in small regions of space (teeth) surrounded by (ideally) large gaps. This scheme requires an algorithm for transporting particles between teeth. Such an algorithm can be readily developed and implemented within direct Monte Carlo simulations of dilute gases due to the non-interacting nature of the particle-simulators. The present work develops and evaluates particle treatment at the boundaries associated with diffuse-wall boundary conditions and investigates the drawbacks associated with GT-DSMC implementations which detract from the theoretically large computational benefit associated with this algorithm (the cost reduction is linear in the gap-to-tooth ratio). Particular attention is paid to the additional numerical error introduced by the gap-tooth algorithm as well as the additional statistical uncertainty introduced by the smaller number of particles. We find the numerical error introduced by transporting particles to adjacent teeth to be considerable. Moreover, we find that due to the reduced number of particles in the simulation domain, correlations persist longer, and thus statistical uncertainties are larger than DSMC for the same number of particles per cell. This considerably reduces the computational benefit associated with the GT-DSMC algorithm. We conclude that the GT-DSMC method requires more development, particularly in the area of error and uncertainty reduction, before it can be used as an effective simulation method.

Full textAbstract:
This research concentrates on the establishment of a metalisation and micro-patterning technique that eliminates metal evaporation and/or photoresist molding procedures. The process design is chosen from the analysis of the broad field of direct metalisation techniques where novel photocatalysts or photoreducing agents are increasingly employed to create new processes. The new photolithographic process in this study introduces two novel photoreducing agents for additive metal thin film fabrication: methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) and photosystem I. This work proves the concept of using light energy to directly reduce metal ions incorporated within an ion-exchanged polyimide substrate to produce metal thin films. The patterning step can be operated at atmospheric pressure, in a dry environment, using a coating of the photoreducing agent. This process offers a significant improvement to prior related work that relied on a water layer to enable the metalisation. Of particular importance for this process is the influence of light energy dose and heat treatment, which promote silver nanoparticles growth at the cost of degradation of the substrate polymer. The investigation was carried out thoroughly by laser writing experiments for a selected range of laser power and scan speed. To complement the phenomenon observed in the laser experiments, prolonged UV light exposure time and heat treatment experiments were carried out to confirm the hypothesis postulated in this thesis. The morphology of the silver nanoparticles produced, the changes of the substrate surface and the adhesion of electroless plating were characterised. Results indicate that UV irradiation with the energy density required for reasonable production speed causes inevitable molecular damage to the polymer substrate. Photosystem I was found to be able to catalyse the production of visually similar silver thin film by light sources in the blue region. Using a similar light intensity, the exposure time was reduced by an order of magnitude whilst the degradation phenomenon observed during the UV process appears to be eradicated. With the fundamentals of the process established in this thesis, future optimization is suggested for the transition from a proof of concept to industrial implementation.

Full textAbstract:
Krigsindustrin har historiskt sett varit ledande av den teknologiska utvecklingen. På senare år har dock trenden börjat vända, särskilt vad gäller system och komponenter inom sektorn informationsteknologi. Som ett resultat av detta har krigsindustrin varit tvungen att närma sig den civila, vilket har lett till svårigheter vid jämförelser och anpassning av komponenter och produkter. Skälet till detta är bland annat skillnader i standarder och metoder för miljökvalificering. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att presentera en metod för jämförelser av militära och civila standarder för miljökvalificering. Som referens används utrustning framtagen av SAAB Systems i ett projekt kallat ASMD (Anti-Ship Missile Defence). Den miljö som referensutrustningen kan förväntas utsättas för under sin livscykel analyserades och lämpliga civila standarder för miljökvalificering identifierades. Dessa standarder utvärderades och jämfördes med dess militära motsvarigheter, varefter en metod för presentation av den framtagna och sammanställda informationen skapades. Som demonstration implementerades metoden i Microsoft Excel. Metodens huvudstruktur består av en matris i vilken de behandlade standarderna finns representerade som en rad och som en kolumn. I varje skärningspunkt presenteras en jämförelse av de två aktuella standarderna som återfinns i skärningspunktens rad och kolumn, kategoriserad efter grad av överensstämmelse. Metoden innehåller också sammanfattningar av varje behandlad standard, standarderna i sin helhet och korta introduktioner till de påverkande miljöfaktorerna.Historically, the military industry has been leading the technological evolution. In later years, the tide has begun to turn, especially considering information technology systems and components. As a result, the military industries have had to interoperate with the civilian which, due to the different environmental classification standards and methods used, leads to difficulties when comparing and matching components. The task of this thesis work is to present a method for comparison of military and civilian environmental classification standards. Equipment produced by SAAB Systems for use in a project called ASMD (Anti-Ship Missile Defence) is used as a reference. The expected service life environment of the reference equipment was evaluated, followed by the identification of suitable civilian classification standards. These were analysed and compared with the corresponding military. A method for presenting the information gathered was designed and demonstratory implemented in Microsoft Excel. The main structure of the method is a matrix containing all the standards covered by this evaluation, each listed both as a row and as a column. The fields between the row and the column contain comparisons of the intersecting standards, each categorised by the level of correspondence. The method also incooperates summaries of each standard, the standards in their entirety and introductions to areas of environmental factors.
