Spectroscopy is a widely used experimental technique, and enhancing its efficiency can have a strong impact on materials research. We propose an adaptive design for spectroscopy experiments that uses ...

Agricultural system requires energy (direct as well as indirect) as an input at all stages of agricultural production. Direct energy requirements refer to the gross energy of the fuels directly used ...

Manual process sampling plays an important role in controlling product quality, detecting corrosion and ensuring processes are operating as expected. But it doesn’t always get the attention it ...

Cochran (1977) outlines eleven steps in the planning of a survey. Good sampling methods must exist in the environment of all of these steps. These steps are (1) a statement of the survey objectives, ...
