New machine-vision technologies like the John Deere See & Spray™ could provide the opportunity to reduce herbicide use by detecting weeds and target-spraying herbicides simultaneously. Experiments were conducted for 2 yr in Keiser, AR, and …
Design of Experiments (DoE) is a relevant class to undergraduate students in the sciences, because it teaches them how to plan, conduct, and analyze experiments. In the literature on DoE, there are several contributions to its pedagogy, such as …
Computer experiments can build computationally cheap statistical models to study complex computer models. These experiments are commonly conducted using maximin distance Latin hypercube designs (LHDs), generated using heuristic algorithms or …
Background and objectives Due to the emergence of new hybrid rice cultivars, rice processors must refine their processing protocols to maintain the production of high-quality products. This is crucial for the instant rice processing industry. …
Modern randomization methods in clinical trials are invariably adaptive, meaning that the assignment of the next subject to a treatment group uses the accumulated information in the trial. Some of the recent adaptive randomization methods use …
Variability in moisture content between rice kernels due to the drying process within a harvest batch can result in irregularities in yields and the functional quality of the final product. Investigating strategies to achieve greater uniformity in …
It is of utmost importance for the instant rice processing sector to reassess its methodologies to enhance the overall quality of instantized rice products. This study aimed to analyze how the combination of microwave (MW) drying and convective …
Two-level screening designs are widely applied in manufacturing industry to identify influential factors of a system. These designs have each factor at two levels and are traditionally constructed using standard algorithms, which rely on a …
The first dedicated algorithm to enumerate even-odd designs of strength 3 is presented. Such designs cannot be constructed by folding over smaller designs, but they may permit simultaneous estimation of many more two-factor interactions than designs …
