Integrating protein engineering with process design for biocatalysis

Engineering enzymes for biocatalysis.

Protein engineering techniques have been available for over two decades beginning with the development of methods for genetic engineering. Since that time, the engineering of enzymes has advanced rapidly along with a revolution in the range and efficiency of new techniques and strategies for designing and evolving proteins in the laboratory. While recent advances in high-throughput screening te...

Integrating Design Process Knowledge with Cad Models

Solid models are static entities, often de ned by boundary representation models as sets of enclosing surfaces. Constructive Solid Geometry and feature-based computer-aided design environments create procedural descriptions of 3D objects in forms of history or CSG trees. These representations are temporally xed, i.e., they describe the state of an object at a point in time. This paper describes...

Integrating Commercial Process Simulators into Engineering Courses

This paper presents a didactic activity concerning the use of PI/PID tuning rules, also addressing the issue of how to achieve a knowledgeable selection of the most suited one for the particular problem at hand. The activity aims at making the students aware of the rationale of said rules, and therefore of their suitability for the dynamic (not necessarily physical) characteristics of the contr...

Integrating ethnography into the requirements engineering process

This paper reports on experiences of an inter-disciplinary project involving software engineers and sociologists. The project is concerned with discovering the requirements for a user interface to a flight database which is used to provide real-time information to air traffic controllers. The sociologists are conducting an ethnographic analysis of the activity of air traffic control and this is...
