OPTIMAL DESIGN FOR SECOND-DEGREE KRONECKER MODEL MIXTURE EXPERIMENTS FOR MAXIMAL PARAMETER SUBSYSTEM
(University of Eldoret, 2014)Products in many disciplines frequently involve blending two or more ingredients together. The design factors in a mixture experiment are the proportions of the components of a blend, and the response variables vary ... -
Optimal Kiefer Ordering of Simplex Designs for Third-Degree Mixture Kronecker-Models with three ingredients.
(Mathematical Theory and Modeling, 2019)This paper investigates the Kiefer optimality in the third-degree Kronecker model for mixture experiments. For mixture models on the simplex, a better design is obtained, by matrix majorization that yields a larger ... -
Optimisation of plutonium separations using TEVA cartridges and ICP-MS/MS analysis for applicability to large-scale studies in tropical soils
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-08)The analysis of plutonium (Pu) in soil samples can inform the understanding of soil erosion processes globally. However, there are specific challenges associated for analysis in tropical soils and so an optimal analytical ... -
OPTIMISING A RESTING BOX TO ENHANCE ADULT GRAVID FEMALE MOSQUITOE AUTO-DISSEMINATE LARVICIDE IN A SEMI FIELD
