The designers pre-occupation to reduce energy consumption and to achieve better thermal ambience levels, has favoured the setting up of numerous building thermal dynamic simulation programs. The progress in the modelling of phenomenas and its transfer into the professional field has resulted in various numerical approaches ranging from softwares dedicated to architects for design use to tools f...

The Intelligent Database Machine (IDM), manufactured by Britton-Lee Inc., is a back-end processor and storage system that contains a complete data management system. It includes specialized hardware to perform data management functions. It is our contention that the designers of a database machine must choose a focus for their machine which strongly influences other design decisions. The IDM is...

Current CAD systems only consider the geometric modelling of product. Then an efficient support can be provided by a consideration of the all product development process and all its handled data. An interested solution can be the use of corporate memory. Thus, the designers could benefit of a tool integrating knowledge issued by projects developed in the company. In practice, the development of...

This paper presents a new unifying theme for design theory by emphasizing the importance of context . We arrive at our conclusions by examining and then criticizing the legitimacy of universal methods in design upon which the critical importance of context emerges. The collaborative aspects of design focuses attention on the conception of shared meaning. We introduce and elaborate the concept o...

the study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of an estradiol-17β + cidr based protocol with the conventional ovsynch + cidr based protocol for synchrony of wave emergence and ovulation in murrah buffalos. in group i (n=25), on day 0 (beginning of experiment), buffaloes were administered a cidr device (1.38 g p4) and concurrently received 1.5 mg e-17β. on day 9, the cidr was removed and a pr...

for the current research the records of 62 farms in isfahan province were available. to estimate genetic and phonotypic trends of reproductive traits such as age at first calving, calving interval, days open and number of insemination to conception rate the records of 63,866 cows including 167793 reproductive records were employed. farms were covered by vahdat industrial agriculturists and dair...

Although many design process studies and theories have been developed presented, in reality designers rarely followed standard rules. A is often more a form of personal self-expression. The type approach that use their work depends on preference, experience, education background. Therefore, this focused understanding the colour selection method by collecting data from with aim to summarize gene...
