'downstream design' is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is usually used as a noun to describe the process of designing things which need to be built after something else has already been designed. For example, "We must consider the downstream design of our production process before making any decisions."
Overlapping design and construction activities with early information from the precedent activities shortens project completion with the expense of rework in downstream design and construction activities.
Existing work on design verification is either aimed at specific design problems, which are generally carried out at the downstream design stages, or aimed at deriving design behavior using a behavioral simulation approach.
Design concept evaluation at the early stage of product design has been widely recognized as one of the most critical phases in new product development as it determines the direction of the downstream design activities.
At the downstream design stages, when the physical structure for a design has been determined, materials with specific properties should be selected from a set of candidates, which is commonly referred to as 'materials selection'.
At a total of 15 crossing sites, we used a disturbed vs. undisturbed study design to assess soil truncation and an upstream vs. downstream design to assess in-channel effects.
It resolves the tough problem of consistently maintaining a product scheme to prevent defects arising from inconsistent general design data or incorrect versions of the layout scheme existing within the schemes of downstream design.
Little is known, however, about which RNA secondary structures might be tractable for downstream sequence design, increasing the time and expense of design efforts due to inefficient secondary structure choices.
Automated analysis of images in pre-clinical applications can increase the efficiency and quality of pre-clinical findings that ultimately inform downstream experimental design in human clinical studies; this innovation will allow researchers and clinicians to more effectively allocate study resources with respect to research demands without compromising accuracy.
Knowledge of protein phase behavior is essential for downstream process design in the biopharmaceutical industry.
It can then be used to support downstream detailed design and construction planning and also reuse in other engineering projects.
The results can be used in subsequent downstream instrument design and optimization, as input and/or test data for simulation codes as well as for characterization of upstream elements (neutron sources, monochromators, guides etc).
