Selective assembly in deformable systems using templated assembly by selective removal
… presents the first demonstration of successful assembly of deformable polymer microspheres on patterned rigid substrates using Templated Assembly by Selective Removal (TASR). Also presented is a quantitative model for predicting the successful self-assembly of deformable materials using TASR. …

Experiments and theory of selective assembly using topography and ultrasonically-induced fluid forces
A site-selective self-assembly technique called templated assembly by selective removal (TASR) is introduced and demonstrated. A theory is created to describe its operation, and its correspondence with experiments is shown. In the experiments, the topography of the template is modified to match the …

Forecasting manufacturing variation using historical process capability data : applications for random assembly, selective assembly, and serial processing
… system. The third barrier is understanding how selective assembly influences the final variation of a product, which results in selective assembly not being utilized efficiently. In this thesis, tools and methods to overcome the aforementioned barriers are presented. A process capability …

Contributions to quality improvement methodologies and computer experiments
… improvement and computer experiments, i.e., selective assembly, robust design with computer experiments, multivariate quality control, model selection for split plot experiments, and construction of minimax designs. Selective assembly has traditionally been used to achieve tight …

On the impact of variability and assembly on turbine blade cooling flow and oxidation life
… flow in a blade row are identified. Finally, a selective assembly method is proposed to decrease the impact of blade passage manufacturing variability on blade flow. The method classifies blades into groups based on passage flow capability and assembles rows from within the groups. As a result, …

Cellular mechanisms that modulate kainate receptor trafficking and assembly
… a variety of physiological roles that require selective assembly, intracellular trafficking, and synaptic targeting. Cytoplasmic and non-cytoplasmic determinants that modulate KAR expression at the plasma membrane have been recently characterized. The intracellular trafficking determinants are …

The proteasome and its ancillary proteins
… suggest a regulatory role of PI31 in the selective assembly of higher order proteasome complexes, rather than acting as an alternative cap directly modulating the proteasome proteolytic active sites. My results emphasise the importance of fully characterising the proteasome and its …

Laying technological groundwork for Templated Assembly by Selective Removal (TASR) at biological length scales
This work presents the size-selective sorting of biological cells using the assembly process known as Templated Assembly by Selective Removal (TASR). This research has demonstrated experimentally, for the first time, the selective self-assembly of mammalian as well as non-mammalian single cells …

New Strategic and Dynamic Variation Reduction Techniques for Assembly Lines
… Reducing variation can be achieved in assembly lines strategically and dynamically. Implementing both the strategic and dynamic variation reduction techniques is expected to lead to further reduction in the number of failed final assemblies. The dissertation is divided into three major …
