Creativity in Car Design – The Behaviour at the Edges
Dowlen, C. // 2012
The paper is developed from a longer evaluation of the history of car design. This larger evaluation used statistical processes for investigating the direction of history. Rather than looking at the ...
DELIMITING STRUCTURAL AND DYNAMICAL SYSTEM ANALYSIS IN ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT
Biedermann, W.; Diepold ,K. J.; Lindemann, U.; Lohmann ,B. // 2012
Modelling the dynamic behaviour of products is one of the key issues in engineering management. As the modelling requires lots of data and effort ways to predict the behaviour a priori are sought. In ...

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
