SOURCES OF CRITICAL SITUATIONS AS CRUCIAL ACTIONS IN DESIGN
da Silva Vieira ,S. L.; Badke-Schaub, P.; Fonseca, T. M.; Fernandes, A. A. // 2012
The fundamentals of this research rely on the need to study designers’ behavior to improve designers’ performance. The research places in perspective the concepts of the Lean Thinking (LT) as ...
Stability of collaborative R&D networks: A simulation study
Gust, P.; Altfeld, N.; Kreutzfeldt, J. // 2012
To reduce the likelihood that R&D projects fail, companies tend to perform R&D activities in collaborative networks. A fundamental characteristic of networks is stability. This paper introduces ...

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.
