Jaffal [36] developed a simple polynomial function using DOE and regression analysis, which estimated the annual energy demand of a low energy building based on its envelope parameters. Simulations were done in TRNSYS. A total of 11 parameters with the two-level resolution were used: U-values ...
The crossover design is a special case of the RCT, in that each subject serves as his or her own control. A simple, two-period, crossover design randomly assigns each subject to either the test or control group in the first period and to the alternative in the second period. The ap...
And designing for scientific research gives you a starting point from which you can take off. When doing research, the first important thing is to choose a good topic."Good" is a rather vague expression in this case. Alternatively, we mean that you must choose a meaningful topic from a ...
Here we present a universal design principle to evaluate the activity of graphene-based single-atom catalysts towards the oxygen reduction, oxygen evolution and hydrogen evolution reactions. Our results indicate that the catalytic activity of single-atom catalysts is highly correlated with the local ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly being applied in drug discovery. While some protagonists point to vast opportunities potentially offered by such tools, others remain sceptical, waiting for a clear impact to be shown in drug discovery
The stability of the excavation bottom can be verified using a simple, yet effective approach. The parameter to be previously estimated is the groundwater drawdown but the rest of variables are well known. Although the methodology used to compute the safety factor contains simplifications, it facili...
The simple approach proposed in the study facilitates the optimization of enzyme performance and provides a model for development of efficient catalysts for economical and sustainable biodiesel production. Methods Gene, plasmid, strains, and growth conditions The gene encoding wild-type TLL (wt–TLL) ...
(note that the average value of the band gap will be biased by the choice of compounds in the Materials Project, so I am focusing on the range). If one can access the desired properties with a simple binary material, which might also be easier to manufacture and already well-studied (e...
Considering more design variables and design variable values gives a more thorough investigation of the BTMS design space but requires more computational resources. Compared to the sampling methods for SMDO methodologies where LHS was most popular, CCD was the dominant DOE method. Design of ...
Numerical optimization has been ubiquitous in antenna design for over a decade or so. It is indispensable in handling of multiple geometry/material parameters, performance goals, and constraints. It is also challenging as it incurs significant CPU expens
