Computer aided approaches for assessing inherent occupational health hazards and ranking process concepts based on their health properties were developed for the first stages of a process lifecycle; the process development, preliminary design, and basic engineering steps. The methods are tailored to the process design lifecycle steps in terms of their principle and information requirement. The ...

Object Data Management Systems (ODMSs) are a relatively new type of information management tool. They have emerged to provide support for the management of complex data in data-intensive applications like Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Software Engineering. We develop an interface to an ODMS through the LOOPN++ programming language. LOOPN++ is based on Petri Nets and object-orientatio...

In this paper, the experiences of incorporating parametric modeling methodologies in a computer aided design course are introduced. This course aims at sophomore and junior mechanical engineering students. Students are expected to understand the fundamentals of solid modeling, incorporate design intents in modeling processes effectively, and master basic skills of using commercial software for ...

The growing sophistication of applications continually pushes the design and manufacturing of digital systems to new grades of complexity. Computer aided design education deals with the computer as a tool to help perform the various tasks that comprise the design process of digital systems. In order to understand the capabilities of that tool, one has to study how the tool is used in the differ...

background: antifungal drug resistance and few numbers of available drugs limit therapeutic options against fungal infections. the present study was designed to discover new antifungal drugs.   m aterials and methods: this study was carried out in two separate steps, that is, in silico lead identification and in vitro assaying of antifungal potential. a structural data file of a ternary complex...

This paper describes a process to consolidate observations and findings from usability evaluation phases into a comprehensible list of usability deficiencies as a basis for quality assurance methods. A so called “evidence test” process is transferred from the world of software usability engineering into the context of computer aided learning (CAL) and computer supported cooperative learning (CS...

Engineers use computational tools to address a variety of practical problems. Often, the role of computer aided engineering is to capture the opportunities for wealth creation, as well as societal and environmental impacts through integrating, otherwise disconnected, piece of knowledge and closing the gap between theoretical developments and corresponding applications. The present article repor...
