Abstract: In case-based design, the adaptation of a design case to new design requirements plays an important role. If it is sufficient to adapt a predefined set of design parameters, the task is easily automated. If, however, more far-reaching, creative changes are required, current systems provide only limited success. This paper describes an approach to creative design adaptation based on th...

Reuse of HCI design knowledge could improve designs by leveraging previous research. With selection and integration core characteristics of reuse, search and sensemaking play large roles. Reuse of claims--reusable HCI design knowledge components--through a claims library, claims map, and claims relationships can support search and sensemaking.

Using the Kramer-Mesner method, 4-(26, 6, λ) designs with PSL(2, 25) as a group of automorphisms and with λ in the set {30, 51, 60, 81, 90, 111} are constructed. The search uses specific partitioning of columns of the orbit incidence matrix, related to so-called “quasi-designs”. Actions of groups PSL(2, 25), PGL(2, 25) and twisted PGL(2, 25) are being compared. It is shown that there exist 4-(2...

This short article presents control designs of truck braking system. It describes design comparisons among the simple internal model control (SIMC), Ziegler-Nichol (ZN), Cohen-Coon (CC) methods, and the proposed bacterial-foraging-tabu-search (BFTS) metaheuristics. The proposed BF-TF algorithms are explained. The article also presents simulation results and discussions. Keywords—truck braking c...

Generalized Steiner systems GS (3, 4, v, 2) were first discussed by Etzion and used to construct optimal constant weight codes over an alphabet of size three with minimum Hamming distance three, in which each codeword has length v and weight four. Not much is known for GS (3, 4, v, 2)s except for a recursive construction and two small designs for v = 8, 10 given by Etzion. In this paper, more s...

Inductors are a necessary building block in many circuits, including LNA and oscillators largely used in Receivers and various other systems. Because planer inductors can occupy a large amount of area in integrated-circuit (IC) designs, the search has been on for smaller, tunable inductors suitable for monolithic fabrication In this paper a method, which is to implement an active inductor by CM...

This critical review examines the evidence regarding the effects of errorless learning on improving object naming and face-name associations among persons with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. A literature search was completed and yielded nine studies with the following research designs: nonrandomized clinical trial, within-subjects designs, single subject designs, and systematic reviews. Overa...

This study evolves and categorises a population of conceptual designs by their ability to handle physical constraints. The design process involves a trade-off between form and function. The aesthetic considerations of the designer are constrained by physical considerations and material cost. In previous work, we developed a design grammar capable of evolving aesthetically pleasing designs throu...
