β¦ Synopsis
The existence of a (3 d+2 -2; 3 d+1 ; 3 d ); dΒΏ0, Mitchell design together with the existence of a resolvable 2 -(3 d+1 ; 3 d ; (3 d -1)=2) design (i.e. designs with the parmeters of an a ne geometry design) imply the existence of a quasi-residual 2 -(2(3 d+2 -1); 2(3 d+1 ); 3 d+1 ) design D. This paper contains a construction for the designs D; each of the designs D contain a substructure S consisting of 8 blocks of D with speciΓΏed pairwise intersection sizes. A proof is given that the substructure S prevents D from being embedded into a (3 d+3 -2; 3 d+2 ; 3 d+1 ) design. Further, the maximum intersection size of any pair of blocks in D is 3 d+1 , therefore the design D is non-embeddable and not of Bhattacharya type.

## Abstract A Menon design of order __h__^2^ is a symmetric (4__h__^2^,2__h__^2^β__h__,__h__^2^β__h__)βdesign. Quasiβresidual and quasiβderived designs of a Menon design have parameters 2β(2__h__^2^β+β__h__,__h__^2^,__h__^2^β__h__) and 2β(2__h__^2^β__h__,__h__^2^β__h__,__h__^2^β__h__β1), respective
## Abstract We propose a technique for constructing two infinite families of nonβembeddable quasiβresidual designs as soon as one such design satisfying certain conditions exists. The main tools are generalized Hadamard matrices and balanced generalized weighing matrices. Starting with a specific n
