The Katoenveem: A tailor-made performing arts centre
No full textMy graduation research started with the analysis of both the tangible and intangible values of the existing structure throughout all the different scales, starting with the urban and ending with the building technology scale. My research focuses on the functionality and more specifically the "tailor made" aspect of the initial design of the Katoenveem and the question "how to utilize the tailor made feature of the existing in order to create tailor made experiences for its future users. This is the reason why I decided to design a performing arts centre with flexible spaces that can serve and adjust to the needs of each performance

The patient revolution ::how big data and analytics are transforming the health care experience /
No full text"In The Patient Revolution, author Krisa Tailor--a noted expert in health care innovation and management--explores, through the lens of design thinking, how information technology will take health care into the experience economy. In the experience economy, patients will shift to being empowered consumers who are active participants in their own care. Tailor explores this shift by creating a vision for a newly designed health care system that's focused on both sickness and wellness, and is driven by data and analytics. The new system seamlessly integrates health into our daily lives, and delivers care so uniquely personalized that no two people are provided identical treatments. Connected through data, everyone across the health care ecosystem, including clinicians, insurers, and researchers, will be able to meet individuals wherever they are in their health journey to reach the ultimate goal of keeping people healthy"-
My Father was a Tailor
No full textThe author recounts the life of his father, Rocco D\u27Alessandro, a master tailor, who immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio from Italy at the turn of the 20th century. Original publication date 1999.https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/clevmembks/1043/thumbnail.jp
Tailor-made consumer protection: personalisation’s impact on the granularity of consumer information
No full textThis chapter illustrates how the use of the legal design principles and the benefits of
modern technology could guide EU policymakers in drafting more effective consumer protection
measures, specifically information provisions and information rules. As modern technology enables
personalisation of online information, the paper explores the option for this to lead to the rejection
of the one-size-fits-all approach embodied by the application of the average consumer benchmark
in assessing whether the information was transparent to consumers. The author proposes to
gradually oblige online traders to provide more granular, personalised information to consumers
Tailor-made blanks for the aircraft industry
No full textTailor-Made Blanks (TMBs) are hybrid assemblies made of sheet metals with different materials and/or thicknesses that are joined together prior to forming. Alternatively, a monolithic sheet can be machined to create required thickness variations (machined TMBs). The possibility of having several thicknesses and/or materials in one single structure facilitates optimal material distribution and helps us make ground and air vehicles lighter, more cost-effective, fuel-efficient, and environment-friendly. TMBs technology has been used in the automotive industry for almost two decades mostly in the form of tailor-welded blanks, where steel or aluminum sheets are (laser) welded. The applications of the technology were, however, non-existent in the aircraft industry primarily because the fusion welding processes that are used in the automotive industry are not suitable to the precipitation-hardened high strength aluminum alloys that are used in the aircraft industry. Therefore, alternative joining (production) techniques are needed to produce TMBs in the aircraft industry. The problem is the already available know-how from the automotive industry is not applicable anymore. New research is therefore needed to generate the lacking know-how for application of the TMB concept in the aircraft industry. The objective of this dissertation is to contribute towards generating that missing knowledge.Department of Aerospace Materials and ManufacturingAerospace Engineerin
Berm breakwaters, tailor-made size graded structures
No full textThis paper describes the 13 year experience of design and construction of rubble mound berm breakwaters in Iceland. Over twenty berm structures have been constructed since 1983. All berm breakwaters in Iceland have been constructed by local contractors who have developed considerable experience in this type of work. The paper describes the design philosophy of berm breakwaters which aims at optimizing the structure with respect to wave load and possible yield from an armour stone quarry. The estimated yield from an armour stone quarry is used as an integrated part of the design process in an attempt to optimize the utilization of the quarry. All size grades from the quarry are used and in many cases a 100% utilization is achieved. Breakwaters and shore protection in Iceland are mostly constructed from locally quarried rock. Rock quality is variable depending on rock type. jointing, density and degree of alteration. Porphyritic basalt and gabbro have excellent to good quality, whereas other basalts are generally good to poor. Fracture measurements are used to forecast quarry yield for rubble mound structures and are usually very close to the results of blasting. A quality assurance programme has been developed to guarantee that rocks intended for breakwaters are up to the required standard in each case. The Icelandic Harbour Authority has developed a variant of the original berm concept with all the advantages of the berm concept although the structure is much more stable. This variant can be described as a "tailor-made size graded berm". It allows the use of even smaller stones inside the berm. than in berm breakwaters of only one or two stone classes and as a consequence larger stone classes can be used to reinforce the structure. In many cases this design approach leads to a less expensive structure than the original berm concept. although the structure is much more stable.Berm Breakwater
A Case of Malignant Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma and Review of The Literature
No full textLow grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare pelvic malignancy that arises from the endometrium. This article describes the morphological features of one such tumour discovered as finding in a hysterectomy specimen of a 32-year lady with a clinical diagnosis of dysfunctional uterine bleeding with multiple fibroids. Morphological and immunohistochemical evaluations were performed and a final diagnosis of low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma was given. This report is aimed to present a case of endometrial stromal tumor because of its rare existence and difficulties in establishing histological diagnosis
A Case of Invasive Micro Papillary Carcinoma of The Breast with Literature Review
No full textInvasive micro papillary carcinoma has been recognized as rare but distinctive variant of carcinoma in various anatomic sites, including breast, urinary bladder, lung and major salivary glands. The tumor is characterized by nested pattern of eosinophilic tumor cells arranged in a solid, morular, tubular patterns. Most often this growth pattern is mixed with conventional carcinoma or other variants. Patients have typically high-stage disease at presentation and a poor clinical outcome compared with that of patients with conventional carcinoma arising in the same organ site.
We report a case of 65-year-old woman with painful lump in right breast, admitted to the surgical ward of our institute, diagnosed as invasive micro papillary carcinoma of the breast histopathologicaly and immunohistochemically
