An analysis of design reuse benefits

open access: yes, 1998
Although the concept of design reuse is accepted as a valid approach to design, little attempt has been made to formalise the elements that constitutes design reuse. The few approaches formalising design reuse, e.g.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

The Mute Aisling: Staging Sociopolitical Shifts through Disability in the Abbey Theatre’s Productions of Translations

open access: yes, 2019
In a play of divided lands and language, Sarah John Sally in Brian Friel’s Translations presents a unique bifurcation; somewhere between character and caricature, aisling and invalid, the actor performing Sarah must tread a delicate balance between ...

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

An investigation into the concept of motivation within design

open access: yes, 2011
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.This thesis argues that there is a need for design practitioners and design researchers to more clearly articulate and understand the role of design in ...

TRIZ Evolution Trends in Biological and Technological Design Strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Organised by: Cranfield UniversityThe concept of evolution in technology and biology is discussed. It appears that most of the evolution trends in technology and biology result from different development strategies.

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Effects of computer-supported collaboration script and incomplete concept maps on web design skills in an online design-based learning environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Web design skills are an important component of media literacy. The aim of our study was to promote university students’ web design skills through online design-based learning (DBL).

Overcoming Design Fixation in Idea Generation

open access: yes, 2018
Ideally, designers move past existing ideas to create novel designs. But designers often experience “fixation,” where new ideas are similar to existing designs.

Concept models for design practice

open access: yesBitácora Urbano Territorial, 2017
Concept models are common guides to living, and some more specialized ones, which have been developed and validated in other fields have been adopted by designers for use in their work. In particular, concept models serve as templates for decision-making
