  2. 6. Usability Evaluation of Medical Technology: Investigating the Effect of User Background and Users' Expertise

    Author : Yuanhua Liu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; usability test; expertise; test subjects; medical interface; novice-expert; user background; Cognitive Walkthrough; usability evaluation;

    Abstract : Medical devices play a major role in diagnosis and therapeutics in the healthcare systems. The basic features of medical devices concern safety and efficient clinical performance. Nowadays, usability evaluation is an important part of the design process of medical devices. READ MORE

  4. 7. Project Becoming and Knowing Trajectories. : An Epistemological Perspective on Human and Nonhuman Project Making

    Author : Camilla Niss; Lars Bengtsson; Matti Kaulio; Fredrik Tell; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; project; knowing; project making; nonhuman agency; knowing trajectory; Industrial engineering and economy; Industriell teknik och ekonomi;

    Abstract :   In our ‘projectified’ and ‘knowledge-intensive’ society, industrial projects have been proposed as important “journeys of knowledge creation” or “places for knowledge integration”. To date, such perspectives have mainly used traditional cognitive and contextual theories of knowledge and have thus mostly been focused on human actors and their interaction. READ MORE

  6. 9. Process development for platform chemical production from agricultural and forestry residues

    Author : David Nickel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biorefinery; pretreatment; lignocellulose; multi-feed SSCF; preadaptation; multi-scale variability analysis; platform chemicals; lactic acid; logging residues; mixed feedstocks; ethanol;

    Abstract : As part of a bio-based economy, biorefineries are envisaged to sustainably produce platform chemicals via biochemical conversion of agricultural and forestry residues. However, supply risks, the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass, and inhibitor formation during pre­treatment impair the economic feasibility of such biorefineries. READ MORE

  7. 10. A study of process planning for metal cutting

    Author : Staffan Anderberg; Lars Pejryd; Tomas Beno; Mats Andersson; Högskolan Väst; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Process planning; CAPP; CAM; efficiency; performance; green manufacturing; sustainable machining; CNC; Produktionsberedning; effektivitet; grön tillverkning; Industrial engineering and economy; Industriell teknik och ekonomi; Manufacturing engineering; Produktionsteknik; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik;

    Abstract : Process planning as a function for competitiveness is often neglected. However, as an intermediary between product development and manufacturing, it holds a key function in transforming product specifications and requirements into a producible process plan. READ MORE
