Fear of grazing rivals the toxin‐inducing effects of nutrients in two marine harmful algae – a meta‐analysis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...

The Generalized-Method in Taguchi Experiments

open access: yes, 1997
In the presence of variability control factors in Taguchi experiments, then the original L-method (Logothetis, 1990) is liable to lead to wrong transformations. We propose a generalization of the Lß-method which should lead to correct transformations, even if there is a variability control factor which also in uences the mean.

Box–Behnken optimization and ANN‐ANFIS integrated modelling for transesterification using thermally activated basic oxygen furnace slag catalyst

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Global energy demand and environmental concerns have intensified the search for renewable and sustainable energy sources. This study thus, focuses on optimizing the transesterification process of waste cooking oil (WCO) using thermally activated basic oxygen furnace slag catalyst calcined at 850°C (BOF 850). The optimization and modelling were

The Application of Taguchi-WSM, Taguchi-WPM and Taguchi-WASPAS Multicriteria Methods to Optimize Downtime in a Production Process

open access: yesIJIEM - Indonesian Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management, 2022
In the industrial transformation of animal feed for chickens, downtime analysis is a crucial part of the plant's operations. Unfortunately, the literature on downtime analysis has a serious shortcoming; it fails to link downtime with Taguchi method’s optimization and ranking. To correct this deficiency, this paper proposes a new method that couples the

Evaluation of the Shock Absorption Capacity of Polymeric Specimens Manufactured by 3D Printing

open access: yesMacromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the current context, due to the accelerated development of additive manufacturing, parts made of polymeric materials such as polylactic acid (PLA) manufactured by 3D printing are increasingly used. Such applications can be used, for example, in situations involving dynamic loads, where the shock energy absorption properties are essential ...
