Developmental design for healthcare sustainability – Synthesis map 1.0
No full textThe synthesis map presented here has been developed from the designed outcomes of a workshop on systemic design for healthcare sustainability hosted by Jones and Arun Kumar (2021) at RSD10. The map is the second phase of an ongoing long-term project envisioned as a developmental design approach to engage with complex socio-technical problems of healthcare sustainability. The concept of developmental design builds on M. Q. Patton’s models of evaluation, emphasising design as a method of evaluation which is dynamic, introspective and reflective, and hence relevant to temporal systemic problems such as climate change and human health. The developmental design agenda has been elaborated as a presentation at RSD11 (Arun Kumar and Jones, 2022)

A Novel Method to Size Resistance for Biasing the POSFET Sensors in Common Drain ConfigurationSensors and Microsystems
No full textPiezoelectric oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (i.e. POSFET) sensor is a class of piezoelectric semiconductor devices which has been proposed for tactile sensing. As these sensors have piezoelectric material on top of the NMOS transistor gate, their bias point behaviour became a matter of speculation for a designer. Therefore, while biasing such sensors, one should take into account the technological spread and the combination of capacitances contributed by the piezoelectric material and the MOSFET. In our work, we will highlight the above issues and then propose a novel approach to fix the bias point of the sensor. Our results are based on the measurement and parameter extractions in a real case. This will give reasons behind the variation in bias points which is commonly observed on the sensors in a chip

Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes
