Magnetic Ionic Liquids: Design, Properties and Application
… to interesting magnetic, optical, and catalytic properties, depending on the metal incorporated. Owing to their intrinsic paramagnetic behaviour, manipulation of the transport properties of magnetic ionic liquids can be achieved by means of external stimuli. This research has aimed to design and …

The Hob system for verifying software design properties
… for verifying that programs conform to their designs. My Hob system, as described in this dissertation, allows developers to statically ensure that implementations preserve certain specified properties. Hob verifies heap-based properties that can express important aspects of a program's …

High Performance Engineering Polymers: Design, Properties, and Performance
… into the influence of segment length on physical properties. Melting temperatures, glass transition temperatures, and mechanical properties responded systematically to segment length and morphology. Leveraging several complementary analytical techniques identified critical segment lengths required …

Designing virtual environments for usability
… to support that interaction. Studies of the design and use of virtual environments are used to demonstrate the need for interface design guidance. A theory of interaction for virtual environments is proposed, which includes predictive models of interactive behaviour and a set of generic …

Elasticity in Microstructure Sensitive Design Through the use of Hill Bounds
… and isotropic; in actuality, material properties do change with sample direction and location. This variation is due to the anisotropy of the individual grains and their spatial distribution in the material. Currently there is a lack of communication between the design engineer, …

Body scan processing, generative design, and multi-objective evaluation of sports bras : a new design strategy
… of sports bras that can be used to guide their design. Assessing any sports bra's performance requires time-consuming and expensive biomechanical testing. In our search to answer the question: "how do different design properties of sports bras affect their performance?" this research has created …

Understanding Scaled Prediction Variance Using Graphical Methods for Model Robustness, Measurement Error and Generalized Linear Models for Response Surface Designs
… are becoming important tools for evaluating designs. The need to compare designs in term of their prediction variance properties advanced this development. A recent graphical tool, the Fraction of Design Space plot, is useful to calculate the fraction of the design space where the scaled …

Comparing In Situ and Bulk Constitutive Properties of a Structural Adhesive
In the continuing quest for more efficient designs, structural adhesives are being used in place of, or with, traditional fastening methods; however designing with adhesives is refined as traditional methods. To obtain the adhesive design properties, tests are often performed on bulk tensile and …

Affordances In The Design Of Virtual Environments
Human-computer interaction design principles largely focus on static representations and have yet to fully incorporate theories of perception appropriate for the dynamic multimodal interactions inherent to virtual environment (VE) interaction. Theories of direct perception, in particular affordance …

Comparison of Surface Characteristics of Hot-Mix Asphalt Pavement Surfaces at the Virginia Smart Road
… measurements have not been incorporated into the design of pavement surfaces. Seven different wearing surface mixtures, placed at the Virginia Smart Road pavement facility, were studied over a one year time period for both friction and texture properties. A locked wheel skid trailer and a laser …
