The paper is concerned with a problem of finding an optimum experimental design for discriminating between two rival multiresponse models. The criterion of optimality we use is based on the sum of squares of deviations between the models, and picks up the design points for which the divergence is maximum. An important part of our criterion is an additional vector of experimental conditions, whi...

Elfving’s Theorem is a major result in the theory of optimal experimental design, which gives a geometrical characterization of c−optimality. In this paper, we extend this theorem to the case of multiresponse experiments, and we show that when the number of experiments is finite, the c−, A−, T− and D−optimal design of multiresponse experiments can be computed by Second-Order Cone Programming (S...

The process of material cutting and fracture by high velocity water jets is a complex series of phenomena which may involve compression, tension, shear, erosion, wears, cracking, wave propagation, and cavitations damage. This makes the exact analysis of the jet cutting process to be very complicated. The problem of water jet coal cutting is a multiresponse problem. There are two output variable...

angelica essential oil (ao), a major pharmacologically active component of angelica sinensis (oliv.) diels, possesses hemogenesis, analgesic activities and sedative effect. the application of ao in pharmaceutical systems had been limited because of its low oxidative stability. the ao-loaded gelatin-chitosan microcapsules with prevention from oxidation were developed and optimized using response...

This paper reviews some of the research designed to lead to an increased understanding of the chemistry of the Maillard reaction, based on recent developments, and its influence on food properties like colour, flavour and nutritional value. A critical analysis is given on how quality attributes associated with Maillard reaction can be predicted and controlled by kinetic modelling. Multiresponse...
