Using Factorial Experimental Design To Prepare Size-Tuned Nanovesicles

Experimental Evaluation of Academic Collaboration Recommendation Using Factorial Design

Recommender systems have been used in e-commerce and online social networks. Among various challenges to construct such systems, how to parameterize them and their evaluations are two vaguely explored issues. Generally, each recommendation strategy has parameters and factors that can be varied. In this article, we propose to evaluate the impact of key parameters of two state-of-the-art function...

Batch phenol biodegradation study and application of factorial experimental design

A bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATTC27853), was investigated for its ability to grow and to degrade phenol as sole carbon source, in aerobic batch culture. The parameters which affect the substrate biodegradation such as the adaptation of bacteria to phenol, the temperature, and the nature of the bacteria were investigated. The results show that for a range of temperature of 30 to 40°C, th...

Exposure to movie smoking, antismoking ads and smoking intensity: an experimental study with a factorial design.

BACKGROUND This study examines whether smoking portrayal in movies or antismoking advertisements affect smoking intensity among young adults. METHODS We conducted an experimental study in which 84 smokers were randomly assigned using a two (no-smoking versus smoking portrayal in the movie) by three (two prosocial ads, two antismoking ads or one of each) factorial design. Participants viewed a...

Design of glass/phenolic ballistic composites by implementation of factorial experimental design

The purpose of the study is to assess the applicability of full factorial experimental design in predicting the ballistic strength of glass fiber/phenolic ballistic composites. In the study we used a number of ballistic composites (20 cm x 20 cm) with different thickness and fiber/resin ratio. The composites were made by an open mold high pressure, high-temperature compression of prepreg layers...
