Abstract:

The current state of activities in the design and manufacturing industry is marked by the various CAD/CAM/CAE systems which exist as islands of automation, and are used by engineers and designers in a non-integrated and ill-structured way. Thus the design problem is examined from separate and different perspectives, rather than as a whole. The goal of this research, is to develop a comprehensive, integrated and generic design system, that will ensure the realisation of concurrent engineering in practice. To this end, Design Function Deployment (DFD) has been developed. DFD enables the capture

Abstract:

In this thesis, we provide a system level design methodology aimed for the design of embedded systems. Our methodology is geared towards the concurrent design of hardware components and software agents. Our choice of tool/language pair is CoWare N2C design tool and SystemC specification language. Our design flow is completed with a high performance hardware synthesis methodology relying behavioral synthesis. A case study, the design of an ATM switch, is carried out to illustrate the proposed ideas.

Abstract:

Proteins are intimately involved in almost every cellular phenomenon, from life to death. Understanding the interactions of proteins with each other and other macromolecules and the ability to rationally redesign them to improve their activities or control their function are of considerable current interest. Split-protein methodologies provide an avenue for achieving many of these goals. Since the original discovery of conditionally activated split-ubiquitin, the field has grown exponentially to include the activities of over a dozen different proteins.

Abstract:

In this thesis, the concept of an intelligent system for the design and planning of electric power systems is developed. Such a system serves to preserve the vast body of power system design knowledge by identifying, structuring and consolidating it into one easily accessible source. The intelligent system can then be used to support experienced power system planners or for training purposes. The main planning and design activities considered include the design of a complete power system or of specific subsystems such as a substation or a transmission corridor.

Drip irrigation design is a multi-step routine that has to be carried out in a step by step fashion with each step covering a part of the design process. An expert system has been developed with a set of external programs to accomplish the drip system design. The expertise used in the present expert system knowledge base was induced from engineering handbooks and articles as well as personal consultations. The expert system has been developed in such a way that a variety of cases can be handled. In addition, to simulate the human expert, a new drip irrigation design evaluation factor has been

In recent years there has been great concern over what many are calling the â€œtuition bubbleâ€� in American higher education. Baumol and Bowen, in 1966, observed that personally delivered services, like a professor teaching in a university, are difficult to scale, which causes a continuing and compounded rise in real cost. Additionally, universities, in competing for students, tend to invest in expensive assets. The resulting cost of the education and the amount of student debt threatens to rise beyond the intrinsic economic value of a US college degree, especially in the face of equivalent s
