Algebraic Structure of Step Nesting Designs

Step nesting designs may be very useful since they require fewer observations than the usual balanced nesting models. The number of treatments in balanced nesting design is the product of the number of levels in each factor. This number may be too large. As an alternative, in step nesting designs the number of treatments is the sum of the factor levels. Thus these models lead to a great economy...

Octagon Quadrangle Systems nesting 4-kite-designs having equi-indices

An octagon quadrangle is the graph consisting of an 8-cycle (x1, ..., x8) with two additional chords: the edges {x1, x4} and {x5, x8}. An octagon quadrangle system of order v and index λ [OQS] is a pair (X,B), where X is a finite set of v vertices and B is a collection of edge disjoint octagon quadrangles (called blocks) which partition the edge set of λKv defined on X. A 4-kite is the graph ha...

House Indoor Thermal and Health Conditions with Different Passive Designs

According to the Auckland climate, building passive design more focus on improving winter indoor thermal and health conditions. Based on field study data of indoor air temperature and relative humidity close to ceiling and floor of an insulated Auckland townhouse with and without a whole home mechanical ventilation system, this study is to analysis variation of indoor microclimate data of an Au...

Nesting behavior of house mice (Mus domesticus) selected for increased wheel-running activity.

Nest building was measured in "active" (housed with access to running wheels) and "sedentary" (without wheel access) mice (Mus domesticus) from four replicate lines selected for 10 generations for high voluntary wheel-running behavior, and from four randombred control lines. Based on previous studies of mice bidirectionally selected for thermoregulatory nest building, it was hypothesized that n...
