Quantitative and Qualitative Material Design.

Qualitative and Quantitative Mechanical Assembly Design

We describe a unified approach to computeraided mechanical assembly design in which all design tasks are performed within a single computational paradigm supported by integrated design software . We have developed a prototype design environment for planar assemblies, called HIPAIR, that supports diverse design tasks . We organize the design tasks around the fundamental task of contact, analysis...

Design for Computer Experiments with Qualitative and Quantitative Factors

We introduce a new class of designs, called marginally coupled designs, for computer experiments with both qualitative and quantitative variables. The proposed design maintains an economic run size with attractive space-filling properties. The design points for quantitative factors forms a Latin hypercube design. In addition, for each level of any qualitative factor of a marginally coupled desi...

Qualitative and Quantitative Measures

Online social networks are rapidly asserting themselves as popular services on the Web. A central point is to determine whether two distinct users can be considered similar, a crucial concept with interesting consequences on the possibility to accomplish targeted actions like, for example, political and social aggregations or commercial promotions. In this chapter, the authors propose an approa...

Quantitative and Qualitative Assays

The validation of alternative microbiological testing is an opportunity for a manufacturer to decrease the amount of time required for laboratory results. To properly validate these alternatives, a practitioner must first identify what is being studied. The regulatory effect on established product and process specifications and levels must be completely evaluated, as changing the method of anal...
