Through bold policy experiments, central bankers succeeded in avoiding a global multi-year depression and buying time for companies to heal.
In order to optimize the value of effective parameters with the minimum number of experiments, central composite design - the most widely used form of response surface methodology (RSM) - was employed to find improved or optimal process settings in an efficient use of the experimental data.
According to a definition from Dictionary.com, "hard science" is "any of the natural or physical sciences, as chemistry, biology, physics, or astronomy, in which aspects of the universe are investigated by means of hypotheses and experiments" — central components and methods of NASA's earth sciences program.
All the animals used in this study (4- to 6-week-old, male BALB/c nu/nu nude mice) were purchased from the Animal Center of Central South University and maintained in a laminar airflow cabinet under specific pathogen-free conditions in the Laboratory for Experiments, Central South University.
In the 1953 sci-fi serial The Quatermass Experiment, the central character – Bernard – is said to have been named after Sir Bernard Lovell, Jodrell Bank's founder.
It is more than a century since Benjamin Disraeli remarked that "what Manchester does today, the rest of the world does tomorrow" and that desire to innovate and experiment remains central to the city's influential cultural festival.
The operating parameters were optimised using single-factor experiment and central composite design combined with response surface methodology.
Thanks to an inadvertent experiment in central California, the researchers could even show that their model mounds grew at the same rate as natural ones.
We conducted a four-year experiment in central Pennsylvania, USA, to compare four organic feed and forage cropping systems, each differing in tillage, manure management, and cropping strategies.
We conducted a two-year field experiment in central Pennsylvania, USA in which identical genotypes of maize (2013) and soybean (2014) were planted with and without pesticide seed treatments in a completely randomized design with five replications.
