The design problem considered in this paper is the optimal distribution of pressure drop over a network in which flow-rates are specified, but pipe diameters may vary. By using elements of the duality theory of nonlinear programming, the problem is cast in a form which is computationally attractive.

The objective was to determine a set of refrigerator design guidelines for independent living elderly women. The study was conducted with a refrigerator mockup with interchangeable internal features. Twelve elderly women participated, both in a standing and seated (wheelchair) position. The particip
A method is described for deriving design curves which provide a smooth transition through the various modes of failure of steel beams and are therefore valid over the whole range of beam slendernesses. Comparison with available test results and the theory for perfect beams demonstrates the validity
Graphic designers and an experimental psychologist worked together to improve the design of two map symbols which are frequently confused: the symbols for cuttings and embankments on topographic maps. The problem was analysed in terms of the function of the symbols and their likely cognitive represe
Using a recurrent neural network technique, we uniformly distribute prototypes over toll tickets, sampled from the U.K. network operator, Vodafone. The prototypes, which continue to adapt to cater for seasonal or long term trends, are used to classify incoming toll tickets to form statistical behavi
