Design performance specification for school buildings in the vicinity of gas flaring in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria
… buildings, schoolchildren’s health and academic performance. In order to provide a better indoor environment for schoolchildren, meeting strict criteria in relation to indoor air quality (IAQ), thermal comfort, aesthetics and longevity is highly important. Stringent health criteria for school …

A study of legal information needs of public higher education administrators in the District of Columbia
… a model Request for Proposal (RFP) with a performance specification suitable for inclusion in a public contract which ultimately would result in a study and handbook of the identified legal aspects. The administrators' needs and desires for legal information were assessed through a …

Specification And Mechanical Verification Of Performance Profiles Of Software Components
<p>Software performance predictability is vital to a system design and unpredictable performance is a leading cause of software failure. The emphasis of this dissertation is on verification that component-based software performs as specified. Performance profiles (specifications) depend on …

A performance driven approach for hardware synthesis of guarded atomic actions
… resources in these devices. The hardware design specification languages are either too low level to support efficient large scale design (for example, Verilog), or the language and synthesis methodology is so high-level that the designer's micro-architectural ingenuity is lost in the design …

Design and development of an elevating stretcher trolley.
… the ergonomic priorities and used to produce a performance specification against which both the existing and the new design could be eva luated. The design development comprised identification of design priorities that enabled the complex structure to be separated into related components within …

Waterfront developments in the Middle East case study : the Golden Horn Project, Istanbul, Turkey
… fabric from the repercussions of overloading. A performance specification is put forward to integrate the development back into the life of the city. Formally, urban waterfronts in the context of the Middle East are problematic as no precedent exists for dealing with the water's edge. Hence an …

Continuous Phase Synchronised Drives (for a rod-making machine)
… drives had the best power rates which is a performance measure. Simulation was used to review control strategies, such that a microprocessor controller with a proportional velocity loop within a proportional position loop with velocity feedforward was designed. Local control schemes were …

An international perspective on performance-based specifications for concrete durability, with a suggested framework for implementation
… However, outdated and insufficient durability specifications often lead to the early deterioration of RC structures, escalating global maintenance costs. Prescriptive durability specifications for reinforced concrete (RC) often include mix design parameters such as minimum cement content and …

Statistical guarantees of performance for RTL designs
… the adherence of a design to a non-probabilistic performance specification. However, adaptive techniques like voltage and frequency scaling, process variations due to shrinking chip geometries and input variations for accommodating ""better-than-worst-case"" design contribute significantly to the …

Quenching and tempering effects on Rheo-cast F357 aluminium alloy during Nd: YAG laser welding
… to achieve mechanical properties to the T6 performance specification.

RF techniques for IEEE 802.15.4: circuit design and device modelling
… receiving information. Without a robust and high performance front-end, all other higher layers of signal processing and data handling in a wireless network are irrelevant. This thesis investigates the radio circuitry of wireless-networked nodes, and introduces several proposals for improvement. …

Harmonizing data mining and static analysis to tackle hardware and system level verification
… model is used for verifying functionality and performance at the early stage. Due to the fast simulation speed and high model complexity, the entire verification methodology is unsystematic and ad hoc, and lacks the support from EDA tools. In this dissertation, we first present two systematic …

An Investigation of Climatically Responsive Ultra-Low Energy Housing in Rural Scotland: a Case Study
… short of proposed improvements for energy performance which require all new homes to be ‘Zero Carbon’ by 2016/17 if practical and the European target of ‘Nearly Zero Energy Homes’ by the end of 2020. It is recognised that changes in legislation to reach these targets are falling behind …
