Using crossRef metadata search

1. Go to this link: http://search.crossref.org/references

2. Paste any bibliography or any reference list in any format (APA,……!).

3. Now press, “Match to DOI”. You will find the link of the reference based on DOI linking.

4. You can click on any link which will redirect you to the original article publisher website. For example, I want to try the 3rd reference in the list.

5. After clicked, the following window has displayed. From here, I could get the every detail of this article.

Have a nice day!

Response surface methodology using Minitab: part-2

1. Open your previously saved minitab project file (Response surface methodology using Minitab: part-1). Input the response as shown in following image.

2. Now, go to DOE>response surface>analyze response surface design.

3. Click on your response from the left section and click select. Afterward, select “uncoded unit” and press ok.

4. You will get: estimated regression coefficients for response and analysis of variance for response. The P value, f value, lack-of-fit and all other statistics will be there. (tips: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfoodeng.2013.10.003).

5. For the response surface, go Stat>DOE>response surface>contour/surface plot.

6. Select surface plot and click on setup.

7. Select your response. Select generate plots for all pairs of factors: on separate graphs. Press ok. Then again press ok.

8. You will get the response surface plot for all pair of factors. By this plot, the interaction of the studied factors could be explained. (tips: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfoodeng.2013.10.003).

9. For optimize the response, go to Stat>DOE>response surface>response optimizer.

10. Select your response. Click setup. Define your goal (maximum/target/minimum). Click ok. Then again ok.

11. You will get optimization plot. From this plot you can identify the optimum level of the studied factors on the response.

Thank you. Have a nice day!

Response surface methodology using Minitab: part-1

1. Go to Stat>DOE>Response surface>Create response surface design.

2. Choose Central composite or box-behnken (tips: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfoodeng.2013.10.003).

3. Select number of factors from drop down menu i.e. pressure, temperature and time means 3 factors.

4. Click design. From submenu choose the first row (block=1, center point=6)+Number of center point (default)+value of alpha (face centered) and click ok. (tips: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfoodeng.2013.10.003)

5. Click factors. From submenu input the factors name and range (other options keep default) and click ok.

6. Click result. Choose summary table and design table and click ok.

7. Now press ok.

8. Upper tab named session will show design table and description.

9. The lower part will show the factors level and run numbers.

10. Save the project. File> save. At this point, the experiment should conduct with the described factors combination. For example, the response at temp. of 60, press. of 20 and time of 5 should be collected. After the collection of all response open this file again by minitab. File>open.
