the taguchi method was applied as an experimental design to determine optimum conditions for colour removal from azo dyes solutions containing remazol yellow g by electrocoagulation (ec) using iron and steel electrodes as anode and cathode, respectively. an orthogonal array (oa9) experimental design that allows to investigation the simultaneous variations of four parameters (initial remazol ye...

An orthogonal double cover (ODC) of the complete graph Kn by some graph G is a collection of n spanning subgraphs of Kn, all isomorphic to G, such that any two of the subgraphs share exactly one edge and every edge of Kn is contained in exactly two of the subgraphs. A necessary condition for such an ODC to exist is that G has exactly n− 1 edges. We show that for any given positive integer d, al...

This paper describes the application of a combined orthogonal array design and overlapping resolution mapping to the optimization of miceller electrokinetic chromatography for the separation of 10 substituted benzenes. The most important factors were first determined according to an OA16(2(15)) through 16 pre-designed experiments; a second set of experiments was carried out according to a trian...

— In wireless broadband systems the available time, frequency and spatial diversity can be exploited using complex space-time-frequency codes. However, in order to retain a flexible scheme with low complexity we prefer a concatenated system where a channel code picks up time and frequency diversity and a simple orthogonal design is used to obtain spatial diversity. The channel needs to be const...

Prototypes for automated spatial layout in architecture focus on approaches, which define occupiable space as an orthogonal 2D-grid and use algorithms to allocate each rectangle of the grid to a particular function. However, these approaches are limiting the design to orthogonal spatial layouts. Based on SAT solving techniques, the prototype presented in this paper proposes a methodology for au...
