Construction of Optimal Supersaturated Designs by The
Ë cieÒce iÒ C hiÒa Ser. A Mathematics 2004 Vol.47 No.1 128—143 Construction of optimal supersaturated designs by the packing method ¾ ¿ FANG Kaitai½ , GE Gennian & LIU Minqian 1. Department of Mathematics, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong, China (email: [email protected]); 2. Department of Mathematics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China (email: [email protected]); 3. Department of Statistics, Nankai University, Tianjin 300071, China (email: [email protected]) Received July 31, 2002 Abstract A supersaturated design is essentially a factorial design with the equal oc- currence of levels property and no fully aliased factors in which the number of main ef- fects is greater than the number of runs. It has received much recent interest because of its potential in factor screening experiments. A packing design is an important object in combinatorial design theory. In this paper, a strong link between the two apparently un- related kinds of designs is shown. Several criteria for comparing supersaturated designs are proposed, their properties and connections with other existing criteria are discussed. A combinatorial approach, called the packing method, for constructing optimal supersatu- rated designs is presented, and properties of the resulting designs are also investigated. Comparisons between the new designs and other existing designs are given, which show that our construction method and the newly constructed designs have good properties. Keywords: Kirkman triple systems, orthogonality, packing design, resolvability, supersaturated design. DOI: 10.1360/02ys0271 Many preliminary studies in industrial and scientific experiments contain a large num- ber of potentially relevant factors, but often only a few are believed to have significant effects. -
The Application of Graph Theory and Uniform Design
4th National Conference on Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering (NCEECE 2015) The Application of Graph Theory and Uniform Design Algorithm in the Test Arrangement of University Mengqi Zhang1, a, Yuejie Geng2, b, Zhigang Zhang3, c 1, 3 School of Mathematics and Physics, USTB, Beijing 10083, China 2 Academic Affairs Office, USTB, Beijing 100083, China [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Key words: test arrangement; graph theory; uniform design Abstract: Test arrangement problem is a kind of NP hard problems, which has been proved. It’s a combination of constraints, nonlinear, and fuzzy multi-objective optimization. The results can be found based on all kinds of known constraints, but it spends too much time. And the effect of the test is not certain, too. Above all, this article combines two methods in solving this problem, and proposes a reasonable solution. This solution also improves effective of test arrangement, and illustrates the rationality. 1 Description of test arrangement The problem of test arrangement involves 5 elements represented as sets, classes of exams’ setC= {, cc12 , , cm }; courses of exams’ set L= {, ll12 , , ln }, test times’ setT= {, tt12 , , tx }, the [1] invigilators’ set P= {, pp12 , , py }, test locations’ set P= {, pp12 , , py }. This problem also has hard constraint conditions and soft constraint conditions. Hard constraint conditions include those: I. An examination course must be arranged in a time period of examination; II. All classes of one course must be arranged in the same time period of examination; III. Every class must have one test course in one period of time; I V. -

Hsu and Lyle H. Schwartz^ Editors QC 100 ,U57 NO. 893 1995 Jhe National Institute of Standards and Technology was established in 1988 by Congress to "assist industry in the development of technology . needed to improve product quality, to modernize manufacturing processes, to ensure product reliability . and to facilitate rapid commercialization ... of products based on new scientific discoveries." NIST, originally founded as the National Bureau of Standards in 1901, works to strengthen U.S. industry's competitiveness; advance science and engineering; and improve public health, safety, and the environment. One of the agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody of the national standards of measurement, and provide the means and methods for comparing standards used in science, engineering, manufacturing, commerce, industry, and education with the standards adopted or recognized by the Federal Government. As an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration, NIST conducts basic and applied research in the physical sciences and engineering, and develops measurement techniques, test methods, standards, and related services. The Institute does generic and precompetitive work on new and advanced technologies. NIST's research facilities are located at Gaithersburg, MD 20899, and at Boulder, CO 80303. Major technical operating units and their principal activities are listed below. -
Notation and Definitions
Appendix A Notation and Definitions All notation used in this work is “standard”, and in most cases it conforms to the ISO conventions. (The notable exception is the notation for vectors.) I have opted for simple notation, which, of course, results in a one-to-many map of notation to object classes. Within a given context, however, the over- loaded notation is generally unambiguous. I have endeavored to use notation consistently. This appendix is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of definitions. The subject index, beginning on page 377, is a more reliable set of pointers to definitions, except for symbols that are not words. General Notation Uppercase italic Latin and Greek letters, A, B, E, Λ, and so on, are generally used to represent either matrices or random variables. Random variables are usually denoted by letters nearer the end of the Latin alphabet, X, Y , Z, and by the Greek letter E. Parameters in models (that is, unobservables in the models), whether or not they are considered to be random variables, are generally represented by lowercase Greek letters. Uppercase Latin and Greek letters, especially P , in general, and Φ, for the normal distribution, are also used to represent cumulative distribution functions. Also, uppercase Latin letters are used to denote sets. Lowercase Latin and Greek letters are used to represent ordinary scalar or vector variables and functions. No distinction in the notation is made between scalars and vectors; thus, β may represent a vector, and βi may represent the ith element of the vector β. In another context, however, β may represent a scalar. -

A Study of the Fatigue Performance of Asphalt Mixes Based on the Uniform Design Method
A STUDY OF THE FATIGUE PERFORMANCE OF ASPHALT MIXES BASED ON THE UNIFORM DESIGN METHOD YU JIANG-MIAO, LI ZHI, WANG SHAO-HUAI and ZHANG XIAO-NING Road Engineering Research Institute, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China. ABSTRACT In this paper, a fractional factorial design method named “Uniform Design” was applied in the study of the relationship of environmental factors to the fatigue performance of asphalt mixes. The environmental factors considered in the experimental design included strain level, temperature, loading frequency and asphalt aging level. The relations of the environmental factors to initial stiffness, fatigue life, phase angle and cumulative dissipated energy were established using the general linear modelling method. It was found that there is very good correlation between the environmental factors and the fatigue performance indices of asphalt mixes. The results indicate that the Uniform Design method is a effective experimental design method, with which the same effectiveness can be obtained with fewer tests. 1. INTRODUCTION The fatigue performance of asphalt pavements bears a strong relationship to the environmental conditions (such as the axle load weight, environmental temperature, vehicle speed, and the level of aging of the asphalt). The same asphalt mixture may have quite different fatigue properties under different environmental conditions. Therefore, the influence of the environmental factors should be considered to obtain a more accurate prediction of the fatigue performance of an asphalt pavement. In this paper, the main environmental factors were first simulated in the laboratory, after which the influence of the different environmental factors was evaluated using the four-point bending fatigue tests for asphalt mixes, as specified in the SHRP four-point bending fatigue test (SHRP M-009, 1994). -
The Importance of Thorium to China
Fuel for Thought: The Importance of Thorium to China by Cindy Hurst February 2015 Institute for the Analysis of Global Security (IAGS) The Institute for the Analysis of Global Security is a Washington based non-profit think tank dedicated to research and public debate on issues related to energy security. IAGS seeks to promote public awareness to the strong impact energy has on the world economy and security and to the myriad of technological and policy solutions that could help nations strengthen their energy security. WWW.IAGS.ORG Cindy Hurst is a government contractor working as an analyst for the U.S. Army's Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. The views expressed in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Introduction Over the past few years China has launched efforts to develop the world’s first commercial thorium-fueled reactor based on the use of liquid salt. At one point thorium was widely used in gas mantles. It has also been used in night flares from the Milan weapon system and in magnesium alloy aircraft components, optical lenses, refractory ceramics, and some laboratory compounds. As a magnesium alloy, a small quantity of thorium can be used for its hardening and lightweight properties, making it ideal for the aerospace industry.1 One problem with thorium is its mildly radioactive nature, producing concerns over its safety and potential harmful effects. Therefore, today there is little use for thorium. -
