Orthogonal blocking

Most of these designs (but not the I = 3) may be partitioned into 2 or 3 orthogonal blocks (as discussed above for composite designs). Added to these advantages we have the fact that inflation factors are normally low (less than about... 

Box-Behnken designs for four and five factors. The dashed lines separate the orthogonal blocks. The combination ( 1, 1) within each row stands for a full 2 design. Use of 3-6 center runs is recommended for these designs...

The Natural Atomic Orbitals for atom A in the molecular environment may be defined as those which diagonalize the block, NAOs for atom B as those which diagonalize the D block etc. These NAOs will in general not be orthogonal, and the orbital oecupation numbers will therefore not sum to the total number of electrons. To achieve a well-defined division of the electrons, the orbitals should be orthogonalized. 

Each of the atomic blocks in the density matrix is diagonalized to produce a set of non-orthogonal NAOs, often denoted pre-NAOs . 

To control the first factor, one of the two lone pairs of the sulfide must be blocked such that a single diastereomer is produced upon alkylation. For C2 symmetric sulfides this is not an issue, as a single diastereomer is necessarily fonned upon alkylation. To control the second factor, steric interactions can be used to favor one of the two possible conformations of the ylide (these are generally accepted to be the two conformers in which the electron lone pairs on sulfur and carbon are orthogonal) [14], The third factor can be controlled by sterically hinder-... 

A coolant channel is guided through the metal block in a serpentine fashion [15], Hence reactant and coolant flows are orthogonal. A thermocouple measures the temperature at the product outlet of the single-channel thin-film micro reactor. 

In principle, in the absence of noise, the PLS factor should completely reject the nonlinear data by rotating the first factor into orthogonality with the dimensions of the x-data space which are spawned by the nonlinearity. The PLS algorithm is supposed to find the (first) factor which maximizes the linear relationship between the x-block scores and the y-block scores. So clearly, in the absence of noise, a good implementation of PLS should completely reject all of the nonlinearity and return a factor which is exactly linearly related to the y-block variances.
