Agroforestry - The Most Resilient Farming System for the Hilly Northwest of Vietnam
Authors: Hoang Lua Thi , Roshetko James M. , Huu Thuong Pham , Pagella Tim , Mai Phuong Nguyen
Published: July 2017

Over 94% of the land of northwestern Vietnam is classified as sloping. Population growth has exerted pressure on local natural resources, with agricultural expansion on steep slopes resulting in forest degradation, landscape fragmentation and severe environmental consequences. Efforts to restore forest ecosystems have been made by the government, however, as the livelihoods of 80% of the population depend on agriculture, the reconversion of land to forest has proven to be an inappropriate solution. Agroforestry offers a potentially sustainable land-use solution, which could re-establish forests, restore ecosystem services, and stabilize local livelihoods. In this paper, we assess the potential of agroforestry development in the region based on the results of two interrelated surveys conducted in 21 representative villages in six districts of three northwestern provinces: 1) a farming system diagnosis implemented in 17 representative villages; and 2) an agroforestry adoption survey with 210 households practising agroforestry in 14 villages. The analysis was strengthened by four years’ experience in implementing an extensive agroforestry project in the region. The studies focussed on assessing key benefits and constraints of existing farming systems, including agroforestry practices, adopted by farmers and identifying the potential for agroforestry development in the region. The results showed that the dominant farming system in the north-western provinces was monoculture of staple crops on slopes, which provided relatively low economic returns. Soil erosion, land degradation, and water shortages resultant from intensive farming practices were the most significant environmental issues in the area. Tree-based farming systems were rare and mostly a result of spontaneous adoption by farmers. Given the mountainous landscape and the need for soil stabilization, agroforestry was seen by farmers as a viable approach. Improving the existing and adopting new, integrated agroforestry systems were identified as viable ways toward sustainable livelihoods in Northwestern Vietnam.
Patterns of Food Consumption and Production of Mountainous Community in Sinjai District, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia
Authors: Ahmad Ahfandi , Rahmadanih Rahmadanih , Ali M. Saleh S.
Published: July 2017

Food availability of one area affects its community food consumption patterns. The area will use its natural resources to satisfy all needs of its society. This study aimed to explain the patterns of consumption and production of food in a mountainous area. This research is a descriptive study using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. In qualitative approach, the data obtained by indepth-interview and Focus Group Discussion (FGD), whereas quantitative data obtained through household surveys of 40 households as samples. Field data collection is done systematically through questionnaires and interviews. There are two data sources namely primary data and secondary data. Primary data were obtained from people in the local area either as informants selected using snowball techniqueor respondents selected purposively. Furthermore, the secondary data were obtained from the literature that correlates with research areas. The result shows that the pattern of food production in the mountainous region is divided into two types based on the land used that is wetland and dry land. The wetland is used by mountainous community to produce food such as rice and corn with a frequency of twice a year. As for the dry land, it is cultivated to produce vegetables that are produced throughout the year as daily necessities. The pattern of consumption in the community correlates with the amount, type and consumptive frequency of the food. In general, people in mountainous areas still consume rice as a staple food by eating vegetables and fish as complementary with a frequency of 2-3 times a day. This is because the access is still relatively easy to obtain these foods.

La presente síntesis corresponde a un proyecto iniciado en la localidad de Cáñamo (60 km al sur de Iquique), durante 1964, patrocinado por la Universidad de Chile, sede Antofagasta. En dicha oportunidad colaboraron Luis Briones, Patricio Núñez y el geólogo Juan Varela, a quienes agradecemos. Posteriormente el encargado de este proyecto (L. Núñez) prosiguió las indagaciones al tanto que recibió las dataciones radiocarbónicas que indicaban cambios agrocerámicos tempranos, estimulando nuevos estudios tendientes a formular una secuencia cultural como instrumento previo a la definición del proceso de continuidad y cambio. Posteriormente, durante 1977, los autores han revaluado esta situación, poniendo más atención en la imposición de los cambios agrocerámicos a través de un test cuantitativo y de control radiocarbónico que se incluye en esta síntesis. Desgraciadamente, esta prueba estratigráfica probablemente sea la última que se pueda realizar en uno de los yacimientos excavados más representativos, por cuanto una obra de caminos lo ha perturbado en su integridad (Cáñamo 1).

Published: July 2017

Desde hace un tiempo hemos tenido la intención de entregar a nuestros lectores algunas evidencias arqueológicas del Periodo Inca en la zona atacameña. Cuestión que habíamos adelantado ya en algo en el número 5 de esta revista (Le Paige 1977). Sin embargo, esa vez además de planos, croquis y fotografías presentamos el trabajo sobre una hipótesis de distribución espacial y cómo ocuparon los incas estas cumbres. Sin duda se trata de funciones de carácter sagrado y sirvieron además como medio de comunicación y respeto religioso por parte de los incas. Además, en nuestra zona este periodo recién empieza a conocerse a la luz de nuevos trabajos sistemáticos como es el caso de la excavación del tambo de Catarpe por parte de un equipo chilenonorteamericano. Antes, los planos de Mostny (1949) nos habían señalado la distribución y cantidad de habitaciones del pucara de Quitor. Este fue ocupado finalmente por los incas, y seguramente reunió poblaciones anteriores.
Estimation accuracy vs. engineering significance of contact parameters for solid dampers
Authors: Gastaldi Chiara , Gola Muzio M.
Published: July 2017

All numerical models of friction-damped bladed arrays require knowledge or information of contact-friction parameters. In the literature, these parameters are typically tuned so that the experimental Frequency Response Function (FRF) of a damped blade matches its numerical counterpart. It is well known that there exist multiple combinations of contact parameters capable of satisfying a given experimental-numerical FRF match. A better approach towards a finer tuning could be based on directly measuring contact forces transmitted between blade platforms through the damper: in this case friction coefficients are estimated through tangential over normal force components during those hysteresis segments which are safely identified as being in a slip condition. This has been applied by these authors to rigid bar (solid) dampers. Unfortunately, the four contact stiffness values (left and right damper-platform contact, normal and tangential) are more than the measurements available in the technique presented by these authors. Therefore, the problem is underdetermined. The purpose of this paper is twofold,i.e., to propose an alternative way to estimate contact stiffness values (i.e.thus solving the under-determinacy mentioned above) and to check the effective significance of such estimates from a practical engineering point of view. The contact parameter estimation technique proposed by these authors produces, for each contact parameter, a best-fit value and an uncertainty band. It will be shown that the uncertainty affecting each contact parameter results in an uncertainty on the equivalent damping and stiffness indicators at blade level which is lower than 5%.
Developing competitive advantage through startups and venture capital in emerging markets: A view from Israel
Authors: Maune Alexander
Published: July 2017

This article presents an examination of the emergence and co-evolution of startups and venture capital that led to the transformation of Israel into a Start-Up and Innovation Nation since its inception in 1948. Throughout, the co-evolution of startups and venture capital was considered a critical linkage between venture capital emergence and startup intensive cluster. The article also examined the three phased evolutionary model of 1969 to 2000. A discursive approach of related relevant literature was used. The study found out that the co-evolution of startups and venture capital, policy targeting and a network of a number of other factors as will be discussed in the three phased evolutionary model were critical to the emergence and change of the Israeli high-technology industry into a high-technology startup intensive industry. Israel has become the second largest world market for venture capital with more than 240 venture capitals since 1992. Israel has also become the lead in research and development attracting more than 270 multinational companies with more than 250 establishing research centers and employing over 108 000 in the country. The study also found that Israel leads other nations in per capita startups, engineers, scientists and technicians. This article will be critical for policy formulation and implementation especially in Emerging Markets. This article may lead to a shift in strategy in many emerging countries. This article will also help expand the academic knowledge by filling the existing gaps within the body of knowledge. Therefore, the article has academic, economic and policy value.

Published: July 2017

The potential damaging effects of high inrush currents
occurring after power quality disturbances on switch-mode dc
power supplies (SMPS’) have been reported, but have not been
studied in detail. This paper presents a new analytical model for
the accurate representation and calculation of inrush currents of
low-power SMPS devices. This model is verified against
previously developed circuit-based simulation model and
compared with the only other analytical model available in
existing literature. The developed analytical model is also used
to investigate device protection co-ordination, in order to
demonstrate two important effects of high-inrush current:
nuisance tripping of protection and damage of internal SMPS
components.

analyzed two new pairs of local and global angles,
geometrically derived from the azimuth and equatorial
configurations [1, 2]. Simulations are done for the climatic and
geographic region of Braşov, Romania, for one year duration.
The results are showing that the new angles are able to provide
a higher tracking efficiency as compared to their original
configurations [1, 2]. A relevant comparison is being drawn

Published: July 2017

To obtain low-cost solar radiation sensors with
energy applications, small commercial photovoltaic cells have
been adapted. With the purpose to evaluate the resulting
thermal drifts, a temperature sensor has been connected to a
small electronic circuit. The calibration curve provided by the
cells supplier is not useful in this case because it is made for a
constant 20ºC temperature. Besides, the additional circuit also
affects the results. This work presents not only the design and
implementation of the additional elements, together with the
data acquisition system, but also the results of the calibration
work, the fitting of new incident solar radiation functions
regarding the temperature of the cell and the intensity of the
resulting current, besides the validation of the results for four of
these cells.
Early Detection of Voltage Instability in Distribution System utilizing Phasor Measurement Units
Authors: A. Noha H. El-Amary  , B. S. El Safty
Published: July 2017

Power system automation leads to a great jump in
detecting and solving the system problems. Due to the serious
problems of system voltage collapse, an early prediction online
voltage instability detector is discussed in this paper. The
voltage instability detector utilizes the voltage and current
phasor readings of connected phasor measurement units to the
distribution terminals. The detector works according to two
parallel algorithms. The first algorithm is a comparison for
terminal current and voltage phasors with an offline calculated
Look-up table, in which particle swarm optimization technique
is used. The Look-up table represents the permissible maximum
current and minimum voltage phasors for each terminal. The
second algorithm is based on the online computation of the ratio
of the Thevenin equivalent system impedance to the terminal
load impedance. The simulated voltage detector is applied to
two different unified power systems. It gives good and
reasonable results.

Since  energy  consumption  and  pollution  levels  are  increasing worldwide, the traditional  fossil fuel-based  generation  methods are  open  to  debate.  A  considerable  number  of  countries  are promoting the use of renewable resources in order to set a new energetic scenario. Wind power generation needs to improve some specific aspects that hinder its development. Several devices have been designed and are currently in use to solve the problem of energy volatility, since they are able to store energy in different forms for a given period  of  time.  All  these  devices  have  different  characteristics; therefore,   they   behave   dissimilarly   under   certain   operating conditions. Lead-acid  batteries  are  being  used  either  for  energy  or  power applications.   However,   there   exist   other   devices   that   may provide  better  performance.  These  devices  are  here  described and compared, coming to the conclusion that some of them will substitute  current  technology  in  the  near  future  if  they  are  able to improve several indicated aspects.
A NEW SOLUTION FOR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULING OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATIONS BASED ON MONTE-CARLO SIMULATION AND GAME THEORY
Authors: M. Manbachi  , A.H. Parsaeifard  , M.R. Haghifam
Published: July 2017

This paper presents a new solution for
maintenance scheduling of Distributed Generation (DG) in
deregulated power markets by applying an independent market
for DG maintenance scheduling based on game theory.
Maintenance scheduling is one of the important issues in
restructured power electricity markets, because each
distribution generation company desires to maximize its own
payoffs and independent system operator (ISO) has its own
reliability concerns that mostly, these two points of view are
against with each other. The paper presents a dynamic
Distribution Resources Maintenance Market (DRMM) based on
dynamic game theory for resolving maintenance scheduling
problem of distributed generation resources in deregulated
environment. In this market, distribution generation companies
are set their strategies to participate in DRMM by considering
load, primary resources and seasonal forced outage rate
uncertainties and behaviour of other DG companies that
participate in market. On the other hand, ISO manages the
maintenance market based on reliability and offering incentives
/penalties for DG companies. This paper studied the ISO acts by
using Monte-Carlo simulation for reliability indices assessment
relying on load and resources uncertainties and interactions
between DG companies. Numerical results are determined by
using an applicable case study for testing accuracy and
applicability of the new proposed solution.

Published: July 2017

Increasing trend in using distributed
generation has motivated power sector planners to
consider approaches that result in benefiting the most
from investments in this field. Meanwhile subjects such
as power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement and
voltage sag mitigation has significant role in lessoning
imposed expenditures to utility companies. Loss
reduction is important for utility companies as it directly
increases company benefit in a competitive electricity
market, beside reaching power quality standards is too
important as it has vital effect on customer orientation. In
this paper an optimization algorithm is developed to gain
these goals all together. In order to evaluate sag
mitigation capability of the proposed algorithm, voltage
in voltage sensitive buses is investigated. An existing
20KV network has been chosen as test network. Results
show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm in
reducing power loss, improving voltage profile and
mitigating voltage sags in voltage sensitive buses.

Duhem’s Analysis of Newtonian Method and the Logical Priority of Physics over Metaphysics
Authors: Barra Eduardo Salles de Oliveira , Dos Santos Ricardo Batista
Published: July 2017

This article offers a discussion of Duhemian analysis of Newton's method in the Principia considering both the traditional response to this analysis (Popper et alii) and the more recent ones (Harper et alii).  It is argued that in General Scholium to the Principia, Newton is not advocating what Duhem suggests in his best-known criticism, but he is proposing something very close to the establishment of a logical priority of physics over metaphysics, a familiar thesis defended by the French physicist himself.
Duhem’s Legacy for the Change in the Historiography of Science
Authors: Oliveira Amélia
Published: July 2017

What is the contribution of Duhem’s work to the modern historiography? His interpreters have been discussing this question and ordinarily have recognized that the main aspect in his extensive work is connected with his research of medieval science. It has become customary to speak of the “discovery of medieval science” as his foremost historiographic achievement. This paper aims to discuss some aspects of Duhem’s historiography more for its promotion of a new historical perspective than for its results. Duhem’s legacy for modern historiography can be investigated from the characteristics that mark this new perspective, as regarded by Thomas Kuhn.

Galileo and the Medici
Authors: Segre Michael
Published: July 2017

At the beginning of the eighties of the last century, the issue of “patronage” began to arouse scholarly interest and gained importance. Galileo became a test case: his importance, and the importance of patronage – and that of the Medici in particular – go beyond the historical junction of the scientific revolution and have corollaries in the more general attitude to science and knowledge. This case furnished a new line of research for the historical sociology of science.  As far as Galileo is concerned, my claim is that the new trend belongs to post-modern historiography, rather than to post-Renaissance Medici patronage.

De hecho, la sospecha de que utilizaba polianteas, misceláneas y otros repertorios se ha probado como cierta en más de una ocasión.En el caso de las Moralia de Plutarco, a las que Lope recurre con frecuencia como fuente de apotegmas, los datos que se recogen en este artículo demostrarían que se basó en una traducción de Diego Gracián de Alderete para reproducir pasajes, a veces incluso de forma literal.

“Hacia una tipología de las tradiciones verbales populares”
Authors: Lara Luis Fernando
Published: July 2017

Fecha de recepción:­ 18 ­de ­enero ­de ­2012. ­Fecha de aceptación: ­20 de ­febrero­ de ­2012. Las tradiciones verbales populares en español de México dan lugar a multitud de formas espontáneas y festivas, a juegos verbales que se manifiestan en vocablos cuyo significado depende de la actividad dialógica y, en su mayor parte, no llegan a formar acepciones nuevas de los vocablos, lo cual se convierte en un problema teórico para la lexicología y práctico para la lexicografía. Este artículo propone una primera clasificación de esquemas de formación, en los dos planos del signo, atendiendo a la actividad verbaly no a sus productos.

“Dos sonetos del siglo XVII: amor-locura en Quevedo y sor Juana”
Authors: Blanco Aguinaga Carlos
Published: July 2017

Fecha de recepción: 30 de noviembre de 2011.Fecha de aceptación: 10 de febrero de 2012.El autor analiza unos sonetos de Francisco de Quevedo y de sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, en que el amante sueña con vencer el tiempo o con retener el amado ausente. Demuestra que si bien el desengaño destruye una y otra vez el loco afán del amante de aferrarse a la hermosura, en su poesía tanto Quevedo como sor Juana logran liberarse, por breves instantes, de la visión del mundo que han heredado de la sociedad de su tiempo.

Mario Corea en cinco movimientos y una coda
Authors: Rigotti Ana María
Published: July 2017

En medio de la agitación que caracterizó el tránsito del ciclo modernizador al ciclo de radicalización política en América Latina, Mario Corea realizó una apuesta interesante de resistencia desde la propia especificidad para proponer “arquitecturas-ciudad” capaces de recuperar una devaluada urbanidad que mutaron en consonancia con los diagnósticos y marcos teóricos de referencia. Desde una crítica radical a posiciones previas, aún las propias, exploró group forms, sistemas de terminales abiertas, nodos megaestructurales, arquitecturas infraestructurales y el diseño transfuncional propio de una “base ideológica modificada”. En una década de revueltas y atisbos de revolución, sus desplazamientos geográficos entre Boston, Rosario, Londres y Córdoba le permitieron encarnar en sí la circulación y entrecruzamiento de ideas y representaciones entre “centros” y “periferias” tanto en el campo profesional como el académico, desplegando las luces y sombras del intelectual cosmopolita primero y del presunto intelectual orgánico del proletariado, después.
Summa/historia: disolución y reconstitución en la historiografía de la arquitectura (1970-1978)
Authors: Malecki Juan Sebastian
Published: July 2017

En julio de 1974 salió el primer fascículo que oficiaba como introducción de los capítulos de Summa/historia que iban a ir saliendo hasta 1977, luego reunidos en el libro Documentos para una historia de la arquitectura Argentina. Allí Waisman explicitaba que s/h se articularía a partir de los planteos realizados en La estructura histórica del entorno que le había permitido posicionarse en la escena nacional. El contexto de producción de s/h nos permite analizar un momento muy particular en el proceso de constitución del campo de la historiografía de la arquitectura. Si durante los sesenta se apreciaba una consolidación en la producción historiografía, los setenta supusieron un momento de crisis y “disolución” de las dos únicas instituciones específicas que tenía la historiografía de la arquitectura, seguido de una relativamente rápida reconstitución, en la cual s/h tuvo un papel central, no sólo porque ofrecía una mirada integradora de la historia de la arquitectura en el país, no ensayada hasta el momento, sino también porque dinamizó redes y contactos que se prolongaron en el tiempo.
El diseño como colección intencionada de arquitectura
Authors: Kogan Carolina
Published: July 2017

En 1984, el arquitecto Antonio Díaz criticaba un modo de entender la Arquitectura y su consecuente práctica proyectual: descartando la posibilidad de “invención” en una disciplina “que siempre forma parte de una cultura”, sostenía que la buena arquitectura no puede más que partir de la realidad construida; una realidad que para Díaz debía ser leída en clave tipológica. Este artículo busca entender qué significó esta crítica y cuáles fueron los aportes más significativos de Díaz al debate disciplinar que se dio entre mediados de la década del setenta y los años ochenta en Buenos Aires, atendiendo a las diferencias que mantuvo con sus interlocutores más inmediatos. Para comenzar a desandar el modo en que Díaz entendió la Arquitectura y, por lo tanto, a la práctica proyectual y su enseñanza, se indagará en la producción material disponible –escrita y dibujada– de los talleres que dirigió: en La Escuelita –aquella experiencia de formación alternativa a la Universidad que funcionó entre 1977 y 1983–, y en la cátedra que condujo en la Facultad que se abría con el nuevo período democrático, esto es, desde 1984 hasta 1987, cuando decidió radicarse en España.

Authors: Cary Julie A. , Farnsworth Chelsea H. , Gay John , Carroll Hillary S.
Published: July 2017

OBJECTIVE To assess stakeholders' expectations regarding new veterinary graduates' ability to perform various diagnostic and surgical procedures.

DESIGN Cross-sectional survey.

SAMPLE Veterinary students, recent graduates, clinical veterinary college faculty, and general practitioners at or from AVMA Council on Education–accredited colleges of veterinary medicine in the United States and Caribbean.

PROCEDURES Respondents rated how proficient they expected new graduates, on their first day of practice, to be in 8 diagnostic procedures and the degree of independence they expected of new graduates in 8 surgical procedures.

RESULTS Response rate was 9% (235/2,500) for practitioners, 12% (151/1,275) for faculty members, 14% (70/500) for recent graduates, and 15% (1,731/11,474) for students. All 4 respondent subgroups expected that new graduates would be able to adequately perform a fine-needle aspirate of a subcutaneous mass (96% to 98% expected new graduates to be able to adequately perform this procedure) and a cystocentesis (93% to 97% expected new graduates to be able to adequately perform this procedure). The greatest variability in responses was noted for performing hand ties, ultrasound-guided liver biopsy, and arthrocentesis. Most respondents expected new graduates to be able to independently perform a canine castration (82% to 94% expecting independence), feline subcutaneous mass removal (66% to 75% expecting independence), and canine ovariohysterectomy (65% to 89% expecting independence).

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results revealed a diversity of opinion regarding expected proficiency for new graduates performing various diagnostic and surgical procedures. Findings may help colleges of veterinary medicine refine their curricula by providing end points for student training.
Mosaico de Saúde
Authors: Monteiro Silvio Gomes
Published: July 2017

A Ciência jamais para pois é a origem está na incessante busca do conhecimento humano em tentar compreender o mundo que o cerca. Desde o período Neolítico até hoje, na época das grandes tecnologias de comunicação a sede humana pelo saber não é saciada. É nesse espírito de trazer a mais luz a comunidade científica que apresentamos mais o volume 7 da Revista de Investigação Biomédica (RIB), o qual é o seu segundo volume no formato eletrônico. O tema principal é a saúde humana, tema este de suma importância pois através do nível de saúde de uma coletiva se mede o seu desenvolvimento. Hoje, vivemos numa época de grande mosaico de desenvolvimento, há uns poucos países bem desenvolvidos, outros com desenvolvimento mediano e uma boa parcela de países sub-desenvolvidos. Nestes países há uma alta mortalidade materna e infantil, devido principalmente a problemas básicos de infecções, parasitoses e desnutrição. Semelhante ao mundo o Brasil também tem o seu mosaico de desenvolvimento, pois temos estados bem desenvolvidos e vários outros com nível bem baixo de desenvolvimento, refletindo assim na qualidade de vida e de saúde dos seus habitantes. Neste contexto, está o estado do Maranhão, que está competindo com o estado do Alagoas o último lugar no ranking  do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH). Assim sendo, considerando que para se melhor combater o inimigo é preciso primeiramente conhecê-lo, as pesquisas da Revista de Investigação Biomédica (RIB), visam conhecer como está os principais problemas de saúde que afligem a população maranhense e com isso, quem sabe, contribuir para que os gestores da saúde do estado do Maranhão possam interferir com conhecimento de causa e assim melhorar a qualidade de vida dos nosso conterrâneos.No presente número da RIB constam nove artigos originais, Neste volume, abordamos temáticas relacionadas aos efeitos da fisiomotricidade no risco e medo de quedas em idosas, o perfil epidemiológico das mulheres em situação de abortamento em uma maternidade pública, a prevalência da tuberculose no Maranhão, Comportamento de vulnerabilidade dos caminhoneiros em relação à hepatite B, o perfil dos gestores de UBS em São Luís, Prevalência de candidíase em mulheres maranhenses,  surto de meningite na região de Balsas, casos de leishmaniose visceral ao longo dos anos e o fenômeno do envelhecimento sob a ótica cito e histológica.Fazer pesquisa no Brasil, em especial no Maranhão é realmente um grande desafio, esperamos que tais conhecimentos, fruto do esforço de muitos, possam contribuir para a elevação dos indicadores de saúde da população desse nosso Estado tão sofrido.Para finalizar, gostaríamos de agradecer a todos que de maneira direta ou indireta ajudaram na publicação de mais um volume da Revista de Investigação Biomédica. e que possamos continuar nessa brilhante caminhada da divulgação do saber científico e tecnológico.  Prof. Silvio Gomes MonteiroEditor-Chefe
application of statistical design of experiments for the optimization of floor tile glaze formulation
Authors:   Department of Nanomaterials and Nanocoatings, Institute for Color Science and Technology (ICST), Tehran, Iran, Rasouli Sousan
Published: July 2017

This paper investigates the influence of the various parameters on the quality of industrial Iranian floor tile glaze by using the experimental designs anal-ysis, Taguchi Method. A commercial grade of engobe and green body from one of the national tile companies have been used. Three factors namely: particle size of glaze slurry, sintering time and temperature were selected to identify the influence of these factors on the quality of glaze. A Taguchi L8 Orthogonal Arrays, fractional factorial design, was used to optimize experimental trials. This approach successfully categorized the effect of each variable using only 8 experimental trials and identified the most important variables affecting this glaze making process with the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The quality control tests of floor tile such as thermal shock resis-tance, specking resistance and surface hardness were carried out according to the existing Iranian standard. The optimized samples were obtained by factorial design analysis; taking into account coarser particle size, higher temperature and less time. The optimized sample was counter checked using Taguchi method and by selecting effective factors in high levels. It was demonstrated that, the particle size of the slurry is the only significant parameter and sample with high level in particle size and temperature of sintering is the best sample according to existing standard of floor tile
