Location Adjustment

The work is focused on a new model of mass appraising including location variable. A location adjustment factor derived from a mathematical iteration was compared to the location adjustment factor based on geostatistical techniques. The work compares three different linear MRA models. The first one uses the location blind linear MRA. The second integrates the linear MRA with a location adjustment factor calculated using spatial interpolation. The second alternative is an application of Location Value Response Surface Models (O'Connor, 1982). It represents the first application of these models for mass appraising in Italy. The third approach introduces the Iterative Location Adjustment Factor. This is a factor which measure the influence of location derived from a mathematical iteration. Empirical results seem to prove the validity of Iterative Location Adjustment Factors in specific context with few observations.

Aerodynamic characteristic analysis of hypersonic cruise aircraft is more difficult than that of conventional aircraft, for the complex flow field simulation and inadequate amount of results under limited flight conditions. In this paper, numerical schemes applicable for hypersonic flow field are adopted to acquire a set of aerodynamic characteristics of a typical hypersonic cruise aircraft as sample data, based on which response surface models (RSM) are constructed to provide approximation of aerodynamic characteristics under any flight conditions within the design domain, finally the overall approximation performance of the response surface models are analyzed.

Abstract. A wash cycle using an alkaline solution with a dissolved chemical detergent is a standard clean-in-place (CIP) process for cleaning milking systems. However, long-term chemical use may corrode equipment and create difficulties in wastewater treatment. This study investigated the potential for using alkaline electrolyzed oxidizing (EO) water as an alternative to alkaline chemical detergent for removal of microorganisms and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on milking system materials. Laboratory trials were performed based on a Box-Behnken response surface design to assess the cleaning effect of alkaline EO water on three materials typically used in milking systems: stainless steel, rubber gasket, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) hose. Results showed that alkaline EO water treatment was generally enhanced with increased treatment time, temperature, and pH, and their interaction effects were also observed in ATP removal. However, treatment time did not have a dominant role in cleaning PVC hose. Response surface models were developed to reliably predict detected microorganisms and relative light units (RLU) on the three materials after alkaline EO water treatment. Based on the response surface models, the three parameters for alkaline EO water cleaning were optimized as treatment time of 10.0 min, temperature of 61.8°C, and pH of 12, after which microorganisms and RLU were nearly undetectable. Alkaline EO water treatment with the optimized parameters had an equivalent or better cleaning ability compared to the commercial detergent, suggesting its potential as a cleaning and bacteria removal agent for milking systems.

Background Various pharmacodynamic response surface models have been developed to quantitatively describe the relationship between two or more drug concentrations with their combined clinical effect. We examined the interaction of remifentanil and sevoflurane on the probability of tolerance to shake and shout, tetanic stimulation, laryngeal mask airway insertion, and laryngoscopy in patients to compare the performance of five different response surface models. Methods Forty patients preoperatively received different combined concentrations of remifentanil (0-12 ng/ml) and sevoflurane (0.5-3.5 vol.%) according to a criss-cross design (160 concentration pairs, four per patient). After having reached pseudosteady state, the response to shake and shout, tetanic stimulation, laryngeal mask airway insertion, and laryngoscopy was recorded. For the analysis of the probability of tolerance, five different interaction models were tested: Greco, Reduced Greco, Minto, Scaled C50(O) Hierarchical, and Fixed C50(O) Hierarchical model. All calculations were performed with NONMEM VI (Icon Development Solutions, Ellicott City, MD). Results The pharmacodynamic interaction between sevoflurane and remifentanil was strongly synergistic for both the hypnotic and the analgesic components of anesthesia. The Greco model did not result in plausible parameter estimates. The Fixed C50(O) Hierarchical model performed slightly better than the Scaled C50(O) Hierarchical and Reduced Greco models, whereas the Minto model fitted less well. Conclusion We showed the importance of exploring various surface model approaches when studying drug interactions. The Fixed C50(O) Hierarchical model fits our data on sevoflurane remifentanil interaction best and appears to be an appropriate model for use in hypnotic-opioid drug interaction.

This study aimed to achieve optimization of grinding parameters for aluminum-based metal matrix composites using response surface model and genetic algorithm. Experiments were conducted in accordance with a preplanned orthogonal array. The effect of grinding parameters on surface roughness and grinding forces was evaluated and second-order response surface models were developed for predicting grinding outcomes. Optimal grinding parameters were determined from the genetic algorithm and the response surface models.

This investigation evaluates how higher reaction temperatures or oxidant reinforcement of caustic extraction affects chlorine dioxide consumption during elemental chlorine-free bleaching of North American hardwood pulps. Bleaching data from the published literature were used to develop statistical response surface models for chlorine dioxide delignification and brightening sequences for a variety of hardwood pulps. The effects of higher (EO) temperature and of peroxide reinforcement were estimated from observations reported in the literature. The addition of peroxide to an (EO) stage roughly displaces 0.6 to 1.2 kg chlorine dioxide per kilogram peroxide used in elemental chlorine-free (ECF) bleach sequences. Increasing the (EO) temperature by Δ20°C (e.g., 70°C to 90°C) lowers the overall chlorine dioxide demand by 0.4 to 1.5 kg. Unlike what is observed for ECF softwood bleaching, the presented findings suggest that hot oxidant-reinforced extraction stages result in somewhat higher bleaching costs when compared to milder alkaline extraction stages for hardwoods. The substitution of an (EOP) in place of (EO) resulted in small changes to the overall bleaching cost. The models employed in this study did not take into account pulp bleaching shrinkage (yield loss), to simplify the calculations.

Concept FE models of the vehicle structure are often used to optimize it in terms of static and dynamic stiffness, as they are parametric and computationally inexpensive. On the other hand they introduce modeling errors with respect to their detailed FE equivalents due to the simplifications made. Even worse, the link between the concept and the detailed FE model can be sometimes lost after optimization. The aim of this paper is to present and validate an alternative optimization approach that uses the detailed FE model of the vehicle body-in-white instead of its concept representation. Structural modifications of this model were applied in two different ways — by local joint modifications and by using mesh morphing techniques. The first choice was motivated by the strong influence of the structural joints on the global vehicle performance. For this type of modification the plate thicknesses of the most influent car body joints were changed. In the second case the overall car dimensions were modified. The drawback of using detailed FE models of the vehicle body is that they can be times bigger than their concept counterparts and can thus require considerably more time for structural analysis. To make the approach proposed in this work a feasible alternative for optimization in the concept phase response surface models were introduced. With them the global static and dynamic performance of the body-in-white was represented by means of approximating polynomials. Optimization on such mathematical models is fast, so the choice of the optimization algorithm is not limited only among local-search strategies. In the current study Genetic Algorithm was used to increase the chances for finding better design alternatives. Two different optimization problems were defined and solved. Their final solutions were presented and compared in terms of structural modifications and resulting responses. The approach in this paper can be successfully used in the concept phase as it is fast and reliable and at the same time it avoids the problems typical for concept models.
