Experimental Evaluation and Characterization of a Mobility Assist Device Physical Interface
… consisted of quantifying the performance of the physical interfaces, or points of attachments, of an experimental device with multiple interface adjustments. The device was fabricated with design criteria similar to active assist devices to simulate the mechanical behaviour of these particular …

Development and Evaluation of the Ethernet Interface(s) for the Monitoring and Control System of a New Beamforming Radio Telescope
… monitors their status. This thesis addresses the interface-related features of MCS. The physical interface of the MCS with each subsystem is a Gigabit Ethernet connection and the interface protocol is User Datagram Protocol (UDP). An analysis of the throughput obtained through the interface using …

AutomaTiles : tangible cellular automata for playful engagement with systems thinking
… complex systems. By inventing a new tool and interface, consisting of playful objects called AutomaTiles, I propose a new approach for fostering a more aware society of systems thinkers. AutomaTiles provide a three-tiered approach to making systems thinking more accessible. Firstly, …

Tinkering with ScratchBit : explorations in blended making
… the needs of these movements, various forms of physical and digital construction kits have begun to emerge. Often times these construction kits facilitate creation in only one domain, either in the physical or virtual world, but not both. For my Master's thesis, I propose a new system, called …

Immersed Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Acoustic Wave Propagation in Inhomogeneous Media
… elements are allowed to be cut by the material interface. The proposed methods use the standard discontinuous Galerkin finite element formulation with polynomial approximation on elements that contain one fluid while on interface elements containing more than one fluid they use specially-built …

Smartphone traffic characteristics and context dependencies
… who they are with, at what time, and over which physical interface) are investigated in this work. Strong location dependencies on an aggregate and individual user level are found. Potential relationships between times of the day and access patterns are investigated. A time-of-day dependent …

Modeling the interface between biological and synthetic components in hybrid nanosystems
… computational tools capable of describing the interface between the pristine and ordered world of precision electronics and the hot, wet, and stochastic world of biology. The success of these technologies will depend on our abilities to design and optimize interactions of biomolecules and …

Coherence Properties Of Optical Near-fields
… of random fields at subwavelength distances from interfaces of real media are influenced by the presence of evanescent waves because, in this case, both propagating and nonpropagating components contribute to the detectable properties of the radiation. In our studies, we have fully accounted for …

Augmented materials : towards reconnecting bits of mind and atoms of hand
… and accuracy in modeling, their detachment from physical world eliminates the multi-sensory interaction between designer and material. I argue that in order to overcome the separation of design and making in the context of computer-aided design tools, we need to rethink the interfaces by which …

All Mach Number Schemes for Highly Magnetised MHD flows and Multi-material Modelling
… precision levels. Second, we present a new sharp interface semi-implicit method that extends single-fluid all Mach number schemes for the Euler equations to multi-material scenarios. The proposed algorithm effectively addresses the main challenges encountered by Godunov-type multi- material …
