  1. Discussion on Hamaker Constant

    09 May 2008 | Publications | Contributor(s): Stephen Beaudoin, Ravi Jaiswal, Caitlin Kilroy

    The Hamaker constant is a force constant used for describing the van der Waals (vdW) force. The magnitude of the Hamaker constant reflects the strength of the vdW force between two particles, or between a particle and a substrate. It depends on the material properties of both the interacting...

  2. Introduction to Model Building

  6. Factorial Experimentation

    05 May 2008 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Gary Blau

    A full factorial experiment is a set of experimental runs such that all levels of a given factor are combined with all levels of every other factor.

  7. Single Factor Experiments

    05 May 2008 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Gary Blau

    The purpose of single factor experiments is to:Quantify relationship between a single factor and a single measured or response variableCompare the relative effectiveness of two or more treatments (levels of the factor).Estimate the level of the factor that optimizes the response variable

  9. Probability Theory Review

    05 May 2008 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Gary Blau

    For any real system or phenomenon, there will be a certain amount of variability associated with data generated by the system.Probability is the language used to characterize and interpret the variability of this data.Probability is the most widely used formalism for quantifying uncertainty.
