Trends and Directions of Preference Elicitation and Assessment in Food Science: Single-, Pair-, and Multi-Criteria Ranking Methods. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
The advantages and limitations of standard ranking techniques are evaluated. Related methodologies from other disciplines have the potential to sensory studies. International food competition rules are heterogeneous and insufficiently specified. Guidance for future research directions in decision methodologies is provided.

Optical Code Construction of 2D Spectral/Spatial BIBD Codes for SAC-OCDMA Systems

Applied Sciences, 2021
Optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) shows limitations in terms of the inefficient bandwidth utilization and low spectral density with one-dimensional (1D) codes. To overcome these limitations, a novel design is presented using a two dimensional

Generation of Anti-Boa Immunoglobulin Antibodies for Serodiagnostic Applications, and Their Use to Detect Anti-Reptarenavirus Antibodies in Boa Constrictor. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Immunoglobulins (Igs), the key effectors of the adaptive immune system, mediate the specific recognition of foreign structures, i.e. antigens. In mammals, IgM production commonly precedes the production of IgG in the response to an infection.

BIBDs algorithm [PDF]

Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2015
AbstractIn this paper, we explore the planar near-rings to build BIBDs (Balanced Incomplete Block Designs) which is an important tool in the field of the theory of error-correcting code. Our purpose is to supply a program which determines BIBDs and their incidence matrices from a finite field, what gives us the possibility of choosing the best BIBD ...

Sparse multi‐trait genomic prediction under balanced incomplete block design

The Plant Genome, 2023
Sparse testing is essential to increase the efficiency of the genomic selection methodology, as the same efficiency (in this case prediction power) can be obtained while using less genotypes evaluated in the fields.

The existence of directed BIBDs

Discrete Mathematics, 2003
For any natural number \(k\geqq 3\) and any integer \(\lambda \), let c\( _{d}(k,\lambda )\) be the least integer such that the necessary conditions 2\( \lambda \)(\(\lambda -1)\equiv 0\pmod{(k-1)}\) and \(\lambda v(v-1)\equiv 0 \pmod{[k/2]}\) for the existence of a DB\((k,\lambda;v)\) are also sufficient, for all \(v \geqq c_{d}(k,\lambda ).\) In the ...

Block-Graceful Designs

Journal of Mathematics, 2023
In this article, we adapt the edge-graceful graph labeling definition into block designs and define a block design V,B with V=v and B=b as block-graceful if there exists a bijection f:B⟶1,2,…,b such that the induced mapping f+:V⟶Zv given by f+x=∑x∈AA ...

Analysis of Covariance of Reinforced Balanced Incomplete Block Designs With a Single Explanatory Variable [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2014
Reinforced balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs) are very useful in statistical planning of experiments as they can be constructed for any number of treatments for given numbers of replications.

Bipartite graphs with five eigenvalues and pseudo designs [PDF]

, 2011
A pseudo $(v,\, k,\, \la)$-design is a pair $(X, {\cal B})$ where $X$ is a $v$-set and ${\cal B}=\{B_1,...,B_{v-1}\}$ is a collection of $k$-subsets (blocks) of $X$ such that each two distinct $B_i, B_j$ intersect in $\la$ elements; and $0\le\la

Antibody response in snakes with boid inclusion body disease.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Boid Inclusion Body Disease (BIBD) is a potentially fatal disease reported in captive boid snakes worldwide that is caused by reptarenavirus infection.
