✦ Synopsis

In this paper, we present an action-theoretical account of use and design. Central to this account is the notion of a user plan, which leads us to distinguish a cycle of plan design from one of artefact design. We comment on the nature and scope of our account from the perspective of design methodology in general, and we show that it can be employed to analyse the shortcomings of one design method in particular, namely quality function deployment. Finally, we examine some consequences for a philosophy of artefacts and their functions.

This paper formalises the constraints governing the relationship between actions and their preconditions and effects in processes and plans. By providing axiomatisations and a model theory, we establish a sound basis for both deductive and constraint satisfaction-based reasoning. The constraints we

## Abstract The aim of this work was to design and synthesize a radioiodinated peptide containing arginine–arginine–leucine (RRL) functionality as a potential imaging agent of tumor angiogenesis. The RRL peptide was synthesized using the Fmoc solid phase method and identified by MS analysis after p
