Characterization and patterned polymer films from a novel self-assembly process
… ultrathin multilayer films (SAMp). In this process, monolayers of polycations and polyanions are sequentially adsorbed onto a substrate surface by alternately dipping the substrate into aqueous solutions of poly(vinylamine) backbone azo (PDYE), poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS), and …

Analysis of customer-driven and systemic variation in the airplane assembly process
… nature of the costs of the manufacturing and assembly of an airplane. Due to the complexity of the product it has been exceedingly difficult to determine whether the process is inherently unstable or if there are unique characteristics of individual planes that drive the differences in cost. …

Investigating the Role of Stem-Loop 1 in the Assembly Process of HIV-1
… particles is maturation of the virus core. This process is completed by cleavage of the capsid (CA) domain of Gag, from its precursor, CA-SP1, by the viral protease. Large deletions in stem-loop 1 (SL1) in the 5’ untranslated region (UTR) of HIV-1 genomic RNA (gRNA) delay CA-SP1 processing. SL1 …

Modelling the evolution of biological complexity with a two-dimensional lattice self-assembly process
… is often a vital first step of biological processes. Errors during protein assembly, due to mutations or misfolds, can have devastating effects and are responsible for an assortment of protein diseases, known as proteopathies. With proteins exhibiting endless layers of complexity, building …

Utilizing automated inspection to identify surface quality defects within the automotive body assembly process
… These inspections occur throughout the vehicle assembly process and are meant to identify surface quality defects as well as determine at which major step in the vehicle assembly process the defect originated. An issue of uncertainty arises because inspectors routinely identify defects on …

Three Essays on Property: The Microeconomic Foundations of Locational Obsolescence; Holdouts and Cartel Formations in the Land Assembly Process; Compensation for Land Use Regulation: The Lucas Case
Chapter I. The microeconomic foundations of locational obsolescence. Conventional wisdom holds that locational obsolescence is caused by externalities, yet this view implies that externalities fall primarily on building, rather than land, values. Evidence is provided herein that a more general …

Assembly Optimization for Double Row Ball Bearings
This thesis is a treatise on optimal assembly methods for double row ball bearings. As with common single row bearings, double row ball bearings, consist of four general components, namely, an inner ring, an outer ring, a complement of balls and a cage or retainer to keep the balls separate. Unlike …
