A computer-assisted qualitative data analysis framework for the engineering management domain

Creator:: Saeedi, Amirali
Abstract:: Qualitative data analysis (QDA) is a time consuming and, potentially unreliable research activity. In qualitative research, a number of tasks must be repeated for every new research case, even if each case is closely related or is in the same area of study. Existing QDA applications provide users with a...

A design framework for identifying automation opportunities

Creator:: Nagel, Robert Lewis, 1982-
Abstract:: Since the Industrial Revolution, automated systems have increasingly become a part of everyday life. Automated systems range in scale and scope from simple assists to complete robotic replacements. Inexpensive integrated circuits, sensors and microprocessors have allowed automated systems to become smaller, cheaper and more prevalent. Identifying appropriate opportunities for automation,...

Aerodynamic undertray design for formula SAE

Creator:: Jensen, Karl
Abstract:: Aerodynamic improvements in automotive racing can have a significant effect on vehicle performance. Recent developments in Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) have included the design and implementation of aerodynamic devices such as inverted wings and undertrays to improve performance. In this work the literature of undertray technology is presented...

Arc distribution and motion during the vacuum arc remelting process as detected with a magnetostatic approach

Creator:: Woodside, Rigel
Abstract:: Currently, the temporal arc distribution across the ingot during the vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process is not a known or monitored parameter. It is has previously been shown that arcs can spatially constrict during VAR, and this constriction can lead to undesired defects in the material. Additionally, correct accounting for...

Automated manipulation of zebrafish embryos for high-throughput toxicology screening of nanomaterials

Creator:: Mandrell, David
Abstract:: The field of nanotechnology has been rapidly developing new materials. These materials have become incorporated into consumer products and the environment after only minimal assessment of their effects on human health or the environment. The toxicity of these new nanomaterials remains unknown due to the unpredictable nature of the core...

Condensing observation of locale and agents : a state representation

Creator:: Valenti, Brett A
Abstract:: Computing agents require state information to make coherent and useful decisions. A state representation is a numerical translation of the environment and conditions that are pertinent factors in an agent's decision making. Although many representations, when paired with clever learning algorithms, are able to coordinate and capture prey in specific...

Cooling rate limitations in the diffusion bonding of large microchannel arrays

Creator:: Lingam, Gopi K.
Abstract:: A significant barrier to the diffusion bonding of large (i.e. 600 mm) microchannel devices is the large capital investment required to setup production. This large capital investment extends from long heating and cooling cycles leading to poor production capacities. Empirical studies in industry have shown that cooling rate is limited...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Development of a meta-model for behavioral model representation and reuse

Creator:: Giles, Blake Jensen
Abstract:: Behavioral modeling is increasingly an imperative component of system design as the systems under construction become more and more complex. Without behavioral modeling available to the modern designer, design and verification of these systems would be much more laborious. Additionally, with the increasing computational power of today's modeling and simulation...

Development of a radial microlamination architecture for cylindrical microchannel arrays

Creator:: Vlieg, James H.
Abstract:: Microchannel arrays are being developed across a wide spectrum of microfluidic applications including blood processing, fuel cells and thermal management among many others. Typical arrays are based on a flat laminated architecture produced in a vacuum hot press (VHP) through solid-state diffusion bonding. Due to the cylindrical nature of certain...

Development of a singulation device for stonefly larva

Creator:: Williams, Kate S. (Kate Shreeve)
Abstract:: Population counts of aquatic insects can be a credible indicator of the overall health of a waterway. Stonefly (Plecoptera) larva are very sensitive to chemicals present within the waterway, however obtaining population counts of the larvae can be very labor intensive and thus costly. The BugID project has been working...
