The main objective of this work was to characterize the effect of the starting conditions on the microstructure of the nitrided layers.
Two types of powders were used to investigate the effect of the starting material on the mechanical properties (the green and sintering strength values) of the ceramic core, according to the components and particle sizes.
We also investigated the effect of the starting point on the performance of our optimization procedure.
However, a meta-analysis of nine studies did not find any effect of the starting position on the diagnosis accuracy of the PLR test [ 11].
The effect of the starting structure on ensemble refinement was assessed by using alternative refinement programs, phenix.refine, Refmac (Vagin et al., 2004), and Buster (Bricogne et al., 2009), to generate varying input models.
To understand the effect of the starting sweep voltage on the NDR peak, the I V characteristics were measured under forward and reverse bias from 0 to 4 V, and from 0 to −4 V, and shown in Fig. 2b.
In order to check further the effects of the starting model on the result, we perform another V p inversion using genetic algorithms (e.g., Yamanaka and Ishida 1995) and attempt to find the global minimum of d t m−n misfit in a fashion that does not explicitly require a starting model.
This paper reports a systematic and comprehensive investigation of the effects of the starting mixture composition on the mineralogy and properties of porcelain stoneware tiles using mixture design and full quantitative phase analyses by the Rietveld method.
Furthermore, the absolute ratio and the ratio change may differ at the different pH, mainly due to effects on the starting ratio.
Then variables were removed based on a Wald chi-square test for analysis of effect; variables were removed one by one based on the significance level of their effect on the model, starting with the variable with the highest p > 0.5, until all variables kept had a p ≤ 0.5 for at least one of their subcategories in the final model.
