This paper describes the results of an experimental study conducted to investigate the effects of assembly of a product on operator performance. A fully adjustable ergonomically designed assembly workstation (smart workstation) was used for the experiment. Ten college students (five boys group and five girls group) randomly assigned into three experimental conditions (table adjustable, chair ad...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated and compared Weibull parameters of resin bond strength values using six different general-purpose statistical software packages for two-parameter Weibull distribution. METHODS Two-hundred human teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=50), prepared and bonded on dentin according to the manufacturers' instructions using the following resin cements: (i) Vario...

Currently nZEB design represents a negotiation between energy targets and economic concerns. Whereby, it is indispensable that, staring from very preliminary phase of the project, a synergy between the building and system designers, the energy consultant and the economic valuer is set up. Cost-optimal methodology together with statistical analyses developed with Minitab software was applied to ...

The FEM analysis of ultrasonic tool has been done in addition to surface roughness of machined samples using ultrasonic machining process have been presented. The experimental conditions were designed by using DOE approach. The analysis of results has been done using the MINITAB 14.0 software and results obtained are validated by conducting the confirmation experiments. The F-test and P-value h...

The computer statistical software package Minitab is used to model sensitivity of several microbes to the disinfectant NaOCl (Clorox) utilizing the Kirby-Bauer technique. Each group of students collects data for one microbe, conducts regression analyses (e.g. linear, quadratic and cubic), and then chooses the best-fit model based upon the highest r-value obtained. This experiment provides an op...
