Designing and Developing Interactive Big Data Decision Support Systems for Performance, Scalability, Availability and Consistency
(2021-04-29)Big data decision support systems are used to interpret meaning from extremely large data sets. The users of such systems rely on decision support systems to provide short, human-readable summarizations to aid the user in ... -
DESIGNING EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PROCESSES TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF AMBULANCE OFFLOAD DELAY
(2019-08-22)Ambulance offload delay (AOD) occurs when the care of incoming ambulance patients cannot be transferred immediately from paramedics to staff in a hospital emergency department (ED). This is typically due to ED congestion. ... -
Designing Experience: Towards an Empathic Method of Design
(2015)This thesis investigates the relationship between the physical environment and its influence on human emotion and thought. Through a series of design explorations, the project aims to establish an elemental understanding ... -

Designing for Sensitive Sites: Enabling Sustainable Interaction In Ecologically Sensitive Sites
(2015-04-06)Design for sensitive ecological sites while promoting interaction with those sites requires a clear understanding of where the site’s fragility lies and what measures would be most appropriate to minimize intrusion while ... -
Designing Place Specificity in a Rural Coastal Community
(2015)This thesis explores how place specificity can lead to new economic opportunities and act to strengthen community. Place specificity refers to the morphological and climatic qualities of a given site, and how human activity ... -
Desmos: Design, Inventiveness and Collaboration in a Time of Crisis
(2013-08-06)The modernist polykatikia typology (translating to multi-dwelling) arose in Athens after the population boom of the 1960s. Now sixty years later, the demands of the city have changed. No longer is there a need to build ... -
Detailed Modeling and Optimization of a Membrane System for Anesthetic Gas Separation
(2019-11-28)Inhalation anesthesia is delivered using partial rebreathing circuits. The anesthetic compounds are not metabolized, so they can be re-administered to the patient if excess carbon dioxide is removed. There are multiple ... -
