We propose the expected integrated mean-squared error (EIMSE) experimental design criterion and show how we used it to design experiments to meet the needs of researchers in die casting engineering. This criterion expresses in a direct way the researchers' goal to minimize the expected...

Rapid growth, easy metastasis and high recurrence of malignant tumors seriously restrict the cure rate of solid tumors. An effective strategy to improve the cure rate of malignant tumor is that modulating tumor microenvironment to retard the proliferation, damaging the primary tumor and...

Referring to the national environmental protection standard of PR China, HJ479-2009, NOx emissions and the effect of 45# carbon steel (1045, ASTM) on it in thermal energy storage (TES) process of binary molten nitrate (BMN) salts (a eutectic salt mixture named as solar salt with the component of...

Mulch is considered a desirable management technology for conserving soil moisture, improving soil temperature and soil quality. This study aimed to investigate soil conditions and hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) performance in terms of leaf photosynthetic capacity, fruit yield and quality, and...

This paper was focused on thermal stability of molten salts and their thermo-physical properties at high temperature. In this experiment, multi-component molten salts composed of potassium nitrate, sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate with 5% additive A of the chlorides were prepared by statical...

In order to obtain molten salt with lower melting point, higher thermal stability and reduced cost relative to previously available materials, a variety of molten salt mixtures of alkali nitrates are investigated by experimental methods. However, since measurements are generally expensive and...
