The conventional denim washing process is considered to be the most polluting in the textile industry. This sector uses huge amounts of water, energy and chemicals, and generates a lot of wastewater with a high pollution load. For this reason, other types of washing treatment have been discovered. Among these treatments, we can specify the ozone treatment, which is sustainable and economical. In this study, ozone treatment was applied to denim fabric samples to improve the effect of the washing conditions on the appearance and physical characteristics of the fabrics. Bagging resistance, force at break, shrinkage, spectroscopy testing, rubbing fastness evaluation and Fourier Transform–infrared analysis of the treated and untreated denim fabrics (which did not undergo desizing treatment) were analysed and investigated. To study the individual and main effects and significance of input parameters, the Taguchi design was used. Based on the obtained results, ozone treatment increased the whiteness value of treated fabrics. Moreover, it induced certain changes to the physical, mechanical and bagging properties of denim fabrics. The loss of force at break and the percentage of shrinkage reached 30.11% and 15.15%, respectively. The bagging resistance indicated a significant decrease of up to 40.17% after ozone treatment.

“…In each reviewed paper, the experimental regime was duplicated, and the data were manually filled in from the Taguchi Orthogonal Array if it was not presented in the studies. Studies which did not include the parameters in detail were neglected [ 56 ]. MLR was firstly conducted on the data sets.…”

“…In another event, a larger matric can be used in experiments with fewer factors by assuming an empty column on the selected array. For example, L-9 array, which accommodates four level-three factors [ 56 , 57 ] can be used in experiments with only three level-three factors [ 60 , 61 ]. The above findings suggest that the Taguchi method is a highly optimized method to deliver accuracy results in concrete-related experiments.…”

Design of Experiment on Concrete Mechanical Properties Prediction: A Critical Review

Concrete mix design and the determination of concrete performance are not merely engineering studies, but also mathematical and statistical endeavors. The study of concrete mechanical properties involves a myriad of factors, including, but not limited to, the amount of each constituent material and its proportion, the type and dosage of chemical additives, and the inclusion of different waste materials. The number of factors and combinations make it difficult, or outright impossible, to formulate an expression of concrete performance through sheer experimentation. Hence, design of experiment has become a part of studies, involving concrete with material addition or replacement. This paper reviewed common design of experimental methods, implemented by past studies, which looked into the analysis of concrete performance. Several analysis methods were employed to optimize data collection and data analysis, such as analysis of variance (ANOVA), regression, Taguchi method, Response Surface Methodology, and Artificial Neural Network. It can be concluded that the use of statistical analysis is helpful for concrete material research, and all the reviewed designs of experimental methods are helpful in simplifying the work and saving time, while providing accurate prediction of concrete mechanical performance.

“…So, the design consisted of 16 sets of experiments. [27] 2.7 | In vitro release procedure At first step, the whole of drug can be released from drug-nanocarrier was determined. Thus, a weighed quantity (2 mg) of L-dopa-loaded BSA-NPs or catechol loaded BSA-NPs was taken from each batch and was completely extracted using methanol (1 ml) by incubation at 50 rpm for 5 hr at 37 C. The amount of extracted drug in supernatant of this mixture was determined by HPLC after centrifuging at 12,000 rpm for 30 min.…”

In the current study, the interaction between L-dopa and bovine serum albumin (BSA) as well as catechol and BSA is investigated separately. In order to achieve the optimum values for encapsulated efficiency (EE), the content of crosslinker/BSA, organic/aqueous phase, drug/BSA, stirring rate, and pH were closely studied taking the advantage of Taguchi method. Particle characterization was carried out using transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering techniques. The most appropriate catechol and L-dopa nanoparticles in the size range of 100 nm and 65 nm, respectively, and at optimized conditions of drug/BSA = 0.1, pH = 7.4, crosslinker/BSA = 0.084, organic/aqueous phase = 4 and stirring rate 400 rpm were obtained. The most favorable EE (encapsulation efficiency) and LC (loading capacity) for L-dopa and catechol was estimated to be 88.1% and 83.6%, respectively, and the calculated LC% was achieved 93.4% and 89.7% for L-dopa and catechol, respectively. The chromatographic analyses results were also found to be in a good agreement with the obtained data for the calculated EE% and LC% values. in vitro release of loaded drugs from nanoparticles in phosphate-buffered saline (pH = 7.4, incubated at 37 ± 0.5 C under stirring rate of 100 rpm) showed the release of 78% catechol and 89% L-dopa during 480 min and 510 min, respectively.
