General Procedure A function is fit to both sets of data points and a set of responses are chosen that have data points for at least one of the curves within the range of the other curve. A metameter of the fitting function is then used to calculate the concentrations of agonist for the other curve that produce the designated responses from the first curve. 

Techniques are presented for the analysis of mixture design responses and for the optimization of... 

Pattern 16.10, Collaborations and Responsibilities Document and minimize coupling by designing responsibilities and collaborators compose patterns of collaborations to define the design. 

The responsibilities are best laid out in a controlled document that includes clear statements of what needs to be done, when, how, how often, and by whom. Procedures and job descriptions may specify some of these responsibilities for an existing facility. Development of a management system will be most effective with broad input from the persons who will be given the designated responsibilities and be held accountable to fulfill them. 

Staff. All staff must be adequately trained with designated responsibilities and appropriate qualifications. Full details of all staff must be kept for ten years. 

FIGURE 5 Drift plot nominal responses, measured as a function of time. Design responses and corresponding corrected design responses are also shown. 

Effects can be estimated from the measured or corrected design responses, depending on the absence or presence of drift in the considered response. When drift is absent, both effect estimates are similar, while in the presence of drift, they are different for the factors mostly affected by the drift. The effect of factor X, Ex, on a response Y is calculated with the following equation -i" i" " ... 

The out-of-plane stress intensification factor (SIF) for a reducing branch connection with branch-to-run diameter ratio of 0.5 < dlT) < 1.0 may be nonconservative. A smooth concave weld contour has been shown to reduce the SIF. Selection of the appropriate SIF is the designers responsibility. 

In this chapter the use of statistical experimental designs in designing products and processes to be robust to environmental conditions has been considered. The focus has been on two classes of experimental design, response surface designs and split-plot designs. 

The regression models of the partition coefficients of the sulphonamides investigated are listed in Table 7.6. The models are used to design response surfaces of the criteria presented in Section 7.2. Not all possible response surfaces are given since there are numerous possibilities. The most interesting response surfaces are shown and discussed. 

The models obtained after extraction of nine sulphonamides in ternary mixtures of methylene chloride, chloroform and methyl tert.-butyl ether from spiked plasma samples have been used to design response surface plots of all the criteria involved.

Steven Gilmour is Professor of Statistics in the School of Mathematical Sciences at Queen Mary, University of London. His interests are in the design and analysis of experiments with complex treatment structures, including supersaturated designs, fractional factorial designs, response surface methodology, nonlinear models, and random treatment effects. 

Appropriate designs might be based on factorial designs (full or fractional) or a central composite design. Response surface methods frequently rely on visualization of the data for interpretation. 

Another advantage of operant chamber-based procedures is the enormous flexibility they provide for behavioral assessment and the ease with which they can be carried out in these devices. For example, conditional discrimination problems, which are more difficult discrimination tasks, can be easily implemented in operant chambers. Matching to sample is one such method. In this task, the subject first makes a designated response to indicate that it is attending to... 

In the other two simple reinforcement schedules, reinforcement availability is based on the number of occurrences of the designated response. On an FR schedule, the completion of the number of responses specified by the schedule parameter value is required for each reinforcement delivery. An FR 100 schedule, then, requires 100 occurrences of the designated response for reinforcement delivery. The classic examples of FR schedules are the piecework systems that operated in factories early in US history, where workers were paid for each piece or unit they produced. The FR schedule generates its own characteristic behavior pattern which consists of a pause or period of no responding after each reinforcement delivery, followed by an abrupt transition to a very rapid rate of responding - a pattern known as break and run and shown in Figure 9.
