Abstract: Solving problems is simple. Understanding which problems should be solved is immensely challenging. Medical device design projects frequently begin with a search for solutions rather than a clear ...

Abstract: nsight is provided into the use of objective-Bayesian methods for estimating climate sensitivity by considering their relationship to transformations of variables in the context of a simple case considered in a previous ...

Abstract: detailed reanalysis is presented of a ?Bayesian? climate parameter study (as exemplified by Forest et al.) that estimates climate sensitivity (ECS) jointly with effective ocean diffusivity and aerosol forcing, using optimal ...

Abstract: The complexity of many large-scale systems is outpacing our ability to effectively design, analyze, and manage such systems. Projects such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the Boeing Dreamliner, ...

Abstract: Quasi 3-dimensional forecasts of 700-mb. dewpoint depression are made for periods up to 36 hours using observed 700-mb. charts and initial and 12-hr. forecast vertical motion charts from the JNWP Unit's ?thermotropic model.? ...

Abstract: Increasingly complex engineering design challenges requires the diversification of knowledge required on design teams. In the context of open innovation, positioning key members within these teams or groups based on their ...

Abstract: A simple model is presented to predict the mechanical squashing or stretching of an axisymmetric solder joint when subjected to a ramp loading. This is a situation which can frequently arise, ...
