Optimization of Split-Plot Design in the Context of Mixture Process Variable Settings
(Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2021-04)In the presence of process variables, a mixture design has become well-known in statistical modeling due to its utility in modeling the blending surface, which empirically predicts any mixture's response and serves as the ... -
Exploration of D-, A-, I- and G- Optimality Criteria in Mixture Modeling
(Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2021-05)A design optimality criterion, such as D-, A-, I-, and G- optimality criteria, is often used to analyze, evaluate and compare different designs options in mixture modeling test. A mixture test is an experiment where ... -
Analysis of Fluoride in Kales (Brassicca oleracea) and Tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum) from Nakuru County, Kenya
(African Environmental Review Journal (AER), 2020-12)As vegetables normally form an integral portion of human diet, occurrence of high fluoride in their edible portions can cause significant human exposure to these fluoride residues. The present study was carried out to ... -
Design of simultaneous multicolor coherent light generation in a single MgO:PPLN bulk crystal
(Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 2020-11)We report on simultaneous sum-frequency mixing and doubling of C-band and 980 nm laser sources using a single segmented periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal in a single-pass configuration. Our theoretical analysis ... -
Computation of the Expectation Value of the Electron – Phonon and Coulomb Interaction Hamiltonian using Second Quantization and Many Body Techniques
(International Journal of Research and Analytical Reviews (IJRAR), 2020-12)The problem of the strong electron coupling in the theory of superconductivity has been discussed in many studies on the basis of electron and phonon spectral functions. For the rationale of investigating the effect of ... -
Adsorption of Fluoride from Water by Use of Powdered Tilapia Fish Scales
(African Environmental Review Journal (AER), 2020-12)Ingestion of adequate fluoride (F-) necessary for healthy bones and teeth is realized through food, soil and water while its excess leads to dental, skeletal and soft tissue damage. Defluoridation is one of the conventional ... -
