As a general lack of quantitative measurement data for pathway modelling and parameter identification process, time-series experimental design is particularly important in current systems biology research. This paper mainly investigates state measurement/observer selection problem when parametric uncertainties are considered. Based on the extension of optimal design criteria, two robust experim...

carbon nanotube, a new structure of carbon element, is composed of graphene sheets rolled into closed concentric cylinders with diameter of the order of nanometers and length of micrometers. liquid arc discharge was used for fabrication of carbon nanotubes, and subsequently a modified acid treatment method applied for purification stage. a statistical design of experimental (doe) (taguchi metho...

In this study mix proportion parameters of lightweight foamed concrete (LWFC) are analyzed by using the Taguchi’s experiment design methodology for optimal design. For that purpose, mixtures are designed in L16 orthogonal array with five factors, namely, Microwave Incinerated Rice Husk Ash (MIRHA) contents, water cementitious ratio (w/c), sand cement ratio (s/c), superplasticizier (SP) content,...

cauliflower-like nanostructure of cadmium oxide was synthesized by utilizing mechanochemical reaction followed calcination procedure for the first time. the design of experiment (doe) by taguchi method was used to study influence of the chosen factors and to consider optimum conditions of the experiments. the temperature of calcining, the duration of milling, the duration of calcining and react...

The effects of applied load, sliding speed and sliding distance on the dry sliding wear behavior of aged Al-SiCp-Gr composites were investigated. The specimen were fabricated by stir-casting technique. The pin-on-disc wear testing machine was used to investigate the wear rate by design of experiments based on L27 using Taguchi technique. Sliding distance was the most important variable that inf...

Electric discharge drill machine (EDDM) is a spark erosion process to produce micro-holes in conductive materials. This process is widely used in aerospace, medical, dental and automobile industries. As for the performance evaluation of the electric discharge drilling machine, it is very necessary to study the process parameters of machine tool. In this research paper, a brass rod 2 mm diameter...

Background: Enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose is one of the most important biotechnological processes in the food industry, which is accomplished by enzyme β-galactosidase (β-gal, β-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.23), trivial called lactase. Orthogonal arrays design is an appropriate option for the optimization of biotechnological processes for the production of microbial...

The paper describes the usage of the fuzzy Mamdani analysis and Taguchi method to optimize the tourism satisfaction in Thailand. The fuzzy reasoning system is applied to pursue the relationships among the options of a tour company in order to be used in Taguchi experiments as the responses. In this research, tourism satisfaction is carried out using L18 Taguchi orthogonal arrays on parameters s...

1. In poultry investigations, the main interest is often to study the effects of many factors simultaneously. Two or three level factorial designs are the most commonly used for this type of investigation. However, it is often too costly to perform when number of factors increase. So a fractional factorial design, which is a subset or a fraction of a full factorial design, is an alternative. Th...
