Depending on the assessment of site aggressiveness, the degradation with time on site is generated by retarding or accelerating the standard mass loss plot invoked from the AQD value, but adjusted by semi-qualitative engineering and/or scientific judgement of the rating geologist.
In a qualitative study, engineering undergraduates were interviewed about how they use critical thinking.
As a proof of concept, the qualitative and quantitative engineering of carotenoid formation has been achieved in crop plants.
Case studies in metal fatigue design are given to reflect on the capability of qualitative reasoning in engineering applications.
This paper introduces the algorithms behind a software platform, built upon numerical qualitative reasoning for engineering applications.
Participatory Rural Appraisal, PRA, had been widely used in the western tourism research studies as an useful qualitative research and engineering tool in gathering qualitative information.
The aim of this chapter is to introduce reliability engineering, qualitative methods related to maintenance such as FMEA, RCM, and risk-based inspection, as well as quantitative methods such as reliability-based inspection, reliability growth based inspection, and optimum replacement time.
The next three years are spent on a research project into a combined engineering and qualitative investigation.
The analysis was performed at Georgia Tech using an integrated product and process design approach to systems engineering, with qualitative and quantitative tools, such as the house of quality, morphological matrix, Pugh and TOPSIS methods.
The coding process was performed concurrently by three study members with experience in medicine, systems engineering, and qualitative analysis.
