Visser : Design as Construction of Representations

In this chapter, we present our own approach to design, as we have described it in The Cognitive Artifacts of Designing: from a cognitive viewpoint, designing is constructing representations. What is this link between design and representations? Designing consists in specifying an artifact, for example a machine tool – not in its implementation, its fabrication in the workshop. The result of de...

Data Representations and Transformations

To permit visualization, analysis, and reporting, data must be transformed from their original raw state into a form, or representation, that is suitable for manipulation. These data representations and transformations are the foundation on which visual analytics is built. Data representations are structured forms suitable for computer-based transformations. These structures must exist in the o...

Determining Optimal Risk Assessment Model in Construction Projects (Case study: steel plant construction project)

Introduction: Identifying occupational hazards and managing occupational safety and health risks is the most important mission and responsibility of the health and safety management system in organizations and adopting coded plans to achieve this is the key to continuously improving this system and promoting it. Method: This descriptive-analytic research has been written to determine the optim...

Design and Construction a Walnut Peeler

Post-harvest operations have been used in order to increase the efficiency of product production. In the case of walnuts, one of the important processes for improving quality is peeling the walnut’ s shell. Because of the amount of walnuts produced in Iran and the necessity to reduce the loss of products, a device for quick removal of the walnut’ s shell is needed. This study examined and compa...
