Numerical simulation of the response of sandy soils treated with pre-fabricated vertical drains
… the Opensees framework. Two implementations are presented, one for laminar drains, and one for fully turbulent drains. Both of these implementations are used to estimate also the effect of drain storage capacity. It has been illustrated that the flow in the drains in model scale and in prototype …

Semi-finished modular cells
This thesis subject is a pre-fabricated element (cell): a system that employs natural, light, and economic materials to produce a near-finished portion of a building. The intent is to introduce sustainable design into construction industry through prefabrication. The cell has been envisioned both …

Fluxbau architects
… today's life patterns, all the thousands of pre-fabricated building parts are arranged together in often non-traditional configurations and with "inappropriate" connotations, to form moments at which events take place. Regarded as novelties, these cataloged found objects are tactically …

Interoperable components across multiple component architectures
A component is a pre-fabricated, pre-tested software object that provides clients with a well-defined set of services. Component software requires an architecture through which any developer or vendor can deliver a component at any time and have that component become immediately useful to …

A PDMS Sample Pretreatment Device for the Optimization of Electrokinetic Manipulations of Blood Serum
This project encompasses the design of a pretreatment protocol for blood serum and adaption of that protocol to a microfluidic environment in order to optimize key sample characteristics, namely pH, conductivity, and viscosity, to enable on-chip electrokinetic separations. The two major parts of …

Digital landscapes : representing and sharing the environment with computers, video and telecommunications
… Modem society is being shaped by the designed, pre-pakaged environment. Visual realities are now pre-fabricated, canned for consumption for an audience increasingly dependent on information fed by others. This thesis, plus its accompanying installation, is based on the premise that images shape …

Design Automation and Evaluation Of Emerging 3D – IC Technology Using Stacked Horizontal Nanowires
… addressed through 3-D integration of ICs, where pre-fabricated dies or wafers are stacked in a vertical manner. The existing 3-D ICs can be categorized into multilithic and monolithic 3-D integration approaches. However, both existing approaches provide only incremental density benefits, and face …
