Most preset response surface methodology (RSM) designs offer ease of implementation and good performance over a wide range of process and design optimization applications. These designs often lack the ability to adapt the design on the basis of the characteristics of application and experimental space so as to reduce the number of experiments necessary. Hence, they are not cost-effective for ap...

Production of tannase by Aspergillus flavus (MTCC 3783) using tamarind seed powder as substrate was studied in submerged fermentation. Plackett-Burman design was applied for the screening of 12 medium nutrients. From the results, the significant nutrients were identified as tannic acid, magnesium sulfate, ferrous sulfate and ammonium sulfate. Further the optimization of process parameters was c...

In this paper, the estimation capacities of the response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN), in a microwave-assisted extraction method to determine the amount of zinc in fish samples were investigated. The experiments were carried out based on a 3-level, 4-variable Box-Behnken design. The amount of zinc was considered as a function of four independent variables, namel...

Statistical analysis techniques Experiment Design (ED) and Response-Surface-Method (RSM) have traditionally been employed to conduct and analyse real-world experiments. ' ED and RSM provide a systematic and efficient framework for conducting a minimum number of experiments while gaining a maximum amount of information from the experimental results. Recently, ED and RSM have been applied to comp...

Lentinus edodes (L. edodes) is one of the most famous traditional Chinese medicines and high producer of various bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides. Modern pharmaceutical research shows that the Polysaccharides (LEPLS) of this mushroom is a kind of bioactive compound with clinical significance in medicine and several physiological effects. Up to now, fermentation system has been widely...

Pre-hardened steel (P20) is a widely used material in the production of moulds/dies due to less wear resistance and used for large components. In this study, minimization of surface roughness has been investigated by integrating design of experiment method, Response surface methodology (RSM) and genetic algorithm. To achieve the minimum surface roughness optimal conditions are determined. The e...

This paper discusses the use of Box Behnken design approach to plan the experiments for turning Inconel 718 alloy with an overall objective of optimizing the process to yield higher metal removal, better surface quality and lower cutting forces. Response Surface methodology (RSM) has been adopted to express the output parameters (responses) that are decided by the input process parameters. RSM ...
