Exploring a capability-demand interaction model for inclusive design evaluation
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringEngineering Design Centre, 2012-03-06)
Designers are required to evaluate their designs against the needs and capabilities of their target user groups in order to achieve successful, inclusive products. This dissertation presents exploratory research into the ...
Fluid characterisation and drop impact in inkjet printing for organic semiconductor devices
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-07-12)
An inkjet printer can deposit a very small volume of liquid with high positional accuracy, high speed and low cost. As a maskless, non-contact additive patterning method, inkjet printing technology is increasingly being ...
Towards a worldwide storage infrastructure
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and TechnologyComputer LaboratoryJesus College, 2012-06-12)
Peer-to-peer systems have recently gained a lot of attention in the academic
community especially through the design of KBR (Key-Based Routing) algorithms and DHT (Distributed Hash Table)s. On top of these
constructs ...
Simulating intertwined design processes that have similar structures: a case study of a small company that creates made-to-order fashion products
(Inderscience, 2011-01)
The authors use simulation to analyse the resource-driven dependencies between concurrent processes used to create customised products in a company. Such processes are uncertain and unique according to the design changes ...
Gaussian processes for state space models and change point detection
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-02-07)
This thesis details several applications of Gaussian processes (GPs) for enhanced time series modeling.
We first cover different approaches for using Gaussian processes in time series problems.
These are extended to the ...
Redesigning the design process through interactive simulation: A case study of life-cycle engineering in jet engine conceptual design
(Inderscience, 2011-01)
Many aerospace companies are currently making the transition to
providing fully-integrated product-service offerings in which their products are
designed from the outset with life-cycle considerations in mind. Based on ...
Simulations of turbulent swirl combustors
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringSelwyn College, 2012-07-03)
This thesis aims at improving our knowledge on swirl combustors. The work presented here is based on Large Eddy Simulations (LES) coupled to an advanced combustion model: the Conditional Moment Closure (CMC). Numerical
...
The quasi-static and dynamic responses of metallic sandwich structures
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-06-12)
Lattice materials are used as the core of sandwich panels to construct light and strong structures. This thesis focuses on metallic sandwich structures and has two main objectives: (i) explore how a surface treatment can ...
Biomedical event extraction from abstracts and full papers using search-based structured prediction
(2012-06-26)
Abstract Background Biomedical event extraction has attracted substantial attention as it can assist researchers in understanding the plethora of interactions among genes that are described in publications in molecular ...
