Control scheme selection and optimal tuning in industrial process control using factorial experiment design

Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2020
In this study, a novel experimental approach for the optimal selection of an actuator-based control strategy is presented. The proposed approach is a two-stage method: first, a two-level factorial experiment design with n factors (2n) was applied to ...

“Bio‐based Plastic? Hm, I've Never Seen It!”—A mixed‐methods investigation into consumer preferences for different packaging material of fresh apples and tomatoes

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Packaging of fresh fruits and vegetables is standard in many grocery stores. This mixed methods study aims to identify the role packaging plays in consumer choice and what packaging material consumers prefer. We analyzed data from quantitative stated preference experiments with a quota sample of 485 consumers living in Germany.

Neutrino Factory Based on Linear Collider [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
The beams of Linear Collider after main collision can be utilized to build neutrino factory with exceptional parameters. We also discuss briefly possible applications of some elements of proposed scheme for standard fixed target experiments, new experiments with \nu_\mu N interactions and in material sciences.

Are agrochemical‐free and biodiversity‐friendly attributes substitutes or complements? Evidence from a coffee choice experiment

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Eco‐labels inform consumers about the sustainable attributes of a product, but consumer face challenges to differentiate and select for specific attributes. Certification programs are similarly challenged to incentivize adoption of sustainable practices in product supply chains when consumer ability to differentiate sustainable attributes is ...
