Sommario/riassunto |
|
The post-Darwinian theory of atavism forecasted obstacles to human progress in the reappearance of throwback physical or cultural traits after several generations of absence. In this original and stimulating work, Dana Seitler explores the ways in which modernity itself is an atavism, shaping a historical and theoretical account of its dramatic rise |

and impact on Western culture and imagination. Examining late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century science, fiction, and photography, Seitler discovers how modern thought oriented itself around this paradigm of obsolescence and return-one that s |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Response surface methodology (RSM) is the statistical and mathematical technique that lays its foundation of quality in any experiment and it aims to optimize the response. RSM is mainly used for modeling and optimization of process parameters. This book discusses advances in RSM and its applications. Chapters discuss topics |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
such as cyclic generators for Box-Behnken Designs, the application of RSM for product design, and potential applications of RSM in manufacturing, food processing, the fine arts, and more. |
