Identifying System Eigenvalues Using DSM-Uncertainty Principle Approach
El Behery, R. // 2013
Mapping system processes logic dependencies, cause/effect, into probability space enabled quantifying two conjugate variables: Value/Energy and Time. Possible system’s states and their uncertainty ...
Identifying uncertainties within structural complexity management
Kasperek, Daniel; Kohn, Andreas; Maurer, Maik // 2013
Structural complexity management (StCM) is an established methodology to manage complexity within engineering design. Complexity management is necessary if complexity for example due to shorter ...
Impact of a change of environment on autonomy and design exploration
Loudon, Gareth Hugh; Gill, Steve; Wilgeroth, Paul // 2013
This research explored how a change of physical and social environment might affect a product design studentâs ability to learn new design skills and to explore new design ideas. To do this, we ...
Impart âdesign for productionâ knowledge by application of functional prototyping
Leutenecker, Bastian; Meboldt, Mirko; Lohmeyer, Quentin // 2013

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
