Design strategies for residential ventilation systems
… of the key targets of climate change mitigation strategies in the European Union. With the rather successful penetration of insulation measures and weatherization, ventilation heat loss now dominates the total heating demand in newly built dwellings, opening a renewed debate on ventilation rates …

Structured Design Strategies for Attitude Instruction
… situation but have yet to implement strategies that encompass implicit attitudes. Researchers from both fields concur that attitudes are malleable and can be manipulated with appropriate intervention strategies (Bertrand et al., 2005; Dasgupta & Greenwald, 2001; Dick & Carey, 1996; …

Nascar Restrictor Plate Exhaust Manifold Design Strategies
… the results of a study on exhaust manifold design for a NASCAR Restrictor plate internal combustion engine. A computer simulation model was developed using Ricardo WAVE software. WAVE is a computer-aided engineering code developed by Ricardo to analyze the dynamics of pressure waves, mass …

Materials and design strategies for solar microcells
… – along with the rationale behind certain design principles –are discussed. For the case of the periodically structured backside reflector and the surface light trapping structures, Si solar microcells were studied and I was able to demonstrate that in both instances Fabry-Perot resonances …

Materials and design strategies for flexible electronics
… With suitable choice of materials and design strategies, inorganic semiconductors can be used on mechanically compliant substrates for various electronic applications. Among various approaches to realize flexible electronics, deterministic printing assemblies of single-crystalline …

Optimal design strategies for base-isolated bridges
… the damaging effects of earthquakes. For this design strategy, flexible supports are placed between the deck and substructure. This changes the lowest periods of vibration of the bridge and shifts it to a period where little energy is present in the earthquake motions.

Rational design strategies for redox flow batteries
… space frustrates the articulation of unambiguous design criteria, as the relationships between constituent material properties and cell performance metrics are not yet well-understood. In this thesis, I address these knowledge gaps by advancing theoretical and experimental methods that support the …

Value in design? Features, pricing, and design strategies
Where is the value of design? Clients who are using buildings to solve societal economic needs rely heavily on real estate asset valuation models to guide their decision-making process; however, these asset valuation models often oversimplify the asset and only attempts to capture the crudest …

Rational design strategies for oxide oxygen evolution electrocatalysts
… in the past few decades, new theories and strategies can be explored for designing optimal catalysts. This work presents a framework for the rational design of transition-metal perovskite oxide catalysts that can accelerate the development of highly active catalysts for more efficient …

Design Strategies for Dynamic Self-assembled Protein Materials
… until it hits a boundary (a neighboring brick). Designing nanostructures can have similar effects on materials we use every day. Some of the most prevalent are adhesives that mimic the structures on gecko feet, which allow them to stick to any surface. This work presents bottom-up design …

Novel Design Strategies For Engineering Biliverdin-Binding Fluorescent Proteins
… light in mammalian tissue has motivated the design of FPs that can take advantage of the minimal autofluorescence, scattering, and absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) “optical window” (650-900nm). Genetically-encoded NIR-FPs have been designed from various classes of photoreceptors to …

Craft-inclusive Construction: Design Strategies for Thin-tile Vaulting
Design and digital analysis tools can be a fertile space in which situated building knowledge, represented in crafts, act in dialogue with methods of construction. This research examines this possibility in thin-tile vaulting - a Mediterranean ceiling-craft technique that employs less material, but …

Vieques Cancer Treatment Center: Applying evidence-based design strategies
… conditions, my thesis studies the possibility of designing a cancer center for the Viequenses. This cancer center's design is geared towards creating medicinal architecture through evidence-based design by applying a series of factors like natural lighting, ventilation, performance, efficiency, …

MASS BALANCE: Design strategies for lightweight, thermally massive construction systems
The design of lightweight, thermally massive construction systems offers the opportunity to tackle two of the main challenges currently facing the built environment: the need to reduce the use of concrete, responsible for 5-8% of global carbon emissions, and the mitigation of the impacts of extreme …
