    Conceptual design is considered as the most critical and important phase of design process. It is the stage where product’s fundamental features are determined, large proportion of the lifecycle cost of the product is committed, and other major decisions are made, which have significant impact on the downstream design and related manufacturing processes. It is a knowledge intensive process where diverse knowledge and several years of experience are put together to design quality and cost effective products. Unfortunately, computer support systems for this phase are lagging behind compared to the currently available commercial computer aided design (CAD) tools for the later stage of design to reduce the designers workload and product development time. The overall goal of this research is to provide designers with computational tool that support conceptual design process. To achieve this goal a methodology that integrates systematic design approach with knowledge-based system is proposed in this thesis. Accordingly, a framework of computer based computational tool known as conceptual design support tool (CDST) is developed using the proposed methodology. The tool assists designers in performing functional modeling by providing standard vocabularies of functions in the form of function library, generate concepts stored in the database from previous designs, display the generated concepts on the morphology chart, combine the concepts and evaluate the concepts variants. Concepts from subsea processing equipment design have been collected and saved in the database. The tool also accepts new concepts from the designer through its knowledge acquisition system to be saved in the database for future use. In doing so, it is possible to integrate human creativity with data handling capabilities of computers to perform conceptual design more efficiently than solely manual design. The tool can also be used as a knowledge management system to preserve expert’s knowledge and train novice designers. The applicability of the proposed methodology and developed tool is illustrated and validated by using a case study and validation test conducted by independent evaluators

    Design of a gait acquisition and analysis system for assessing the recovery in a classical murine model of Parkinson's disease

    Includes bibliographical references.2015 Fall.Gait deficits are important clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Data focusing on gait can be used to measure recovery of motor impairments in rodents with systemic dopamine depletion. This thesis presents a design for a gait acquisition and analysis system able to capture paw strikes of a mouse, extract their positions and timing data, and report quantitative gait metrics to the operator. These metrics can then be used to evaluate the gait changes in mice. This work presents the design evaluation of the system, from initial cellphone captured video concepts through prototyping and testing to the final implementation. The system utilizes a GoPro camera, optimally lit walkway design, image processing techniques to capture footfalls, and algorithms for their quantitative assessment. The results gained from live animal study with methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced murine model of PD and treated with 1,1-bis(3'-indolyl)-1-(p-chlorophenyl)methane (C-DIM12) are presented, and it is shown how the quantitative measurements can be used to determine healthy, injured, and recovering gait

    Evaluating the Effectiveness of Tree Locations and Arrangements for Improving Urban Thermal Environment

    Get PDF
    abstract: Trees serve as a natural umbrella to mitigate insolation absorbed by features of the urban environment, especially building structures and pavements. For a desert community, trees are a particularly valuable asset because they contribute to energy conservation efforts, improve home values, allow for cost savings, and promote enhanced health and well-being. The main obstacle in creating a sustainable urban community in a desert city with trees is the scarceness and cost of irrigation water. Thus, strategically located and arranged desert trees with the fewest tree numbers possible potentially translate into significant energy, water and long-term cost savings as well as conservation, economic, and health benefits. The objective of this dissertation is to achieve this research goal with integrated methods from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. This dissertation includes three main parts. The first part proposes a spatial optimization method to optimize the tree locations with the objective to maximize shade coverage on building facades and open structures and minimize shade coverage on building rooftops in a 3-dimensional environment. Second, an outdoor urban physical scale model with field measurement is presented to understand the cooling and locational benefits of tree shade. The third part implements a microclimate numerical simulation model to analyze how the specific tree locations and arrangements influence outdoor microclimates and improve human thermal comfort. These three parts of the dissertation attempt to fill the research gap of how to strategically locate trees at the building to neighborhood scale, and quantifying the impact of such arrangements. Results highlight the significance of arranging residential shade trees across different geographical scales. In both the building and neighborhood scales, research results recommend that trees should be arranged in the central part of the building south front yard. More cooling benefits are provided to the building structures and outdoor microclimates with a cluster tree arrangement without canopy overlap; however, if residents are interested in creating a better outdoor thermal environment, open space between trees is needed to enhance the wind environment for better human thermal comfort. Considering the rapid urbanization process, limited water resources supply, and the severe heat stress in the urban areas, judicious design and planning of trees is of increasing importance for improving the life quality and sustaining the urban environment.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Geography 201

    Automation Of Spectroscopic Observations On The Dark Sky Observatory 32-Inch Telescope

    The 32-inch telescope at Dark Sky Observatory and the attached GM Spectrograph have been remotely operable via internet since December of 2011, allowing users to carry out spectroscopic observations from home. However frequent attention is nonetheless required throughout the night. In addition, many observers are university faculty and observe on weeknights. To make observing more convenient, efficient, and consistent, we sought to automate the existing hardware and software systems necessary to conduct astronomical spectroscopy, with minimal additions. This thesis details our efforts, namely incorporating the intelligence and caution of a human, and the efficiency and consistency of a computer. We developed a program called RoboticSpectroscopist, with a graphical user interface, to carry out the observing procedure. It communicates with three observatory computers, as well as with a weather-monitoring program, RoboticWeatherman. Our custom software is written using the scripting language AutoIt, and incorporates a few standalone C programs. It controls devices and software using TCP/IP, X-10, ActiveX, and SMTP communication protocols. It has been designed to protect observatory equipment and can notify a user via text message should a problem arise. RoboticSpectroscopist has been noticeably more efficient than human observers, regularly acquiring upwards of one hundred spectra on clear nights

    Reverseorc:Reverse engineering of resizable user interface layouts with or-constraints

    Get PDF
    Reverse engineering (RE) of user interfaces (UIs) plays an important role in software evolution. However, the large diversity of UI technologies and the need for UIs to be resizable make this challenging. We propose ReverseORC, a novel RE approach able to discover diverse layout types and their dynamic resizing behaviours independently of their implementation, and to specify them by using OR constraints. Unlike previous RE approaches, ReverseORC infers flexible layout constraint specifications by sampling UIs at different sizes and analyzing the differences between them. It can create specifications that replicate even some non-standard layout managers with complex dynamic layout behaviours. We demonstrate that ReverseORC works across different platforms with very different layout approaches, e.g., for GUIs as well as for the Web. Furthermore, it can be used to detect and fix problems in legacy UIs, extend UIs with enhanced layout behaviours, and support the creation of flexible UI layouts.Comment: CHI2021 Full Pape
