Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A complete 21, 51 multi-level factorial design was created by Design Expert® software, version 12.0 (Stat Ease, Inc., Minneapolis, MN) to determine the effect of different variables on DOM-loaded ethosomal suspensions using the low experimental runs. In this chosen design, the effects of two independent variables specifically, lecithin concentration (1st factor) at two levels (2% and 3%) and type of additives (2nd factor) at five levels (none, oil A (Labrafac®), oil B (oleic acid), tween 80, and span 60) on five responses as namely, vesicular size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), electrical double layer ZP, % efficiency of drug entrapment (%EE), and % cumulative drug release after 6 h (Q6h) were estimated (Table 1). The experimental design covered all probable formulations for incorporation of DOM-loaded into ethosomal suspensions as shown in Table 2. The experimental data were evaluated for significance by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test using Design Expert® software (Stat Ease, Inc., Minneapolis, MN). Desirability was calculated for selection of optimum formulation after insertion of desired outcomes. The criterion set for deciding the optimized formulation was accomplishment of the least PS, PDI and the highest %EE, ZP, and Q6h.

Multivariate Optimization and Modeling of Experimental Data

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Both the statistical regression analysis of the RCCD matrix with the experimental results and also the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were accomplished using the statistical software package Design-Expert (version 12, Stat-Ease, Minneapolis, USA) (Design-Expert/">https://www.statease.com/software/Design-Expert/). The ANN topology was set up using JMP 11 software (JMP, Version 11 SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, 1989–2019), which enables training, validating, and testing using experimental data with several hidden neurons. Training of ANN was performed using 17 randomly selected runs by the software, whereas the other 9 runs were used to check the validity of the trained ANN model. To enhance the prediction accuracy of both models, experiments of RCCD were repeated twice, each with three replicates. The mean of each experimental run was calculated.

Optimizing Laccase Production via OFAT-RSM

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The physicochemical parameter that had influencing effect on the production of laccase were identified using the OFAT method, and levels of each parameter were chooses in RSM design using Central Composite Design (CCD) in Design Expert software (Design Expert, Stat-Ease Inc, version 8.0.6.1). Five different levels of every factor were experimented in set of 30 experiments. The highest significance of each parameter acquired from optimization using OFAT was considered as the zero value in RSM. The minimum and maximum ranges for the parameters were; Factor: 1 (Temperature) 24 -28°C, Factor: 2 (pH) 4-7, Factor: 3 (Moisture content) 65-80% and Factor: 4 (Inoculum) 5-10% (w/w). Experiments of all the permutations were performed in 100 g SSF system. The arithmetical association of the selfdetermining factors and the response (laccase activity) were estimated by the second-degree polynomial equation.

Optimizing TiO2 Nanoparticle Synthesis via Response Surface Methodology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The effect of reaction conditions on the TiO2 NP size via response surface methodology (RSM) through central composite inscribed (CCI) design was investigated using the cell-free filtrate of the Halomonas sp. RAM2 optimized growth [70 (link)]. Three independent variables using Design Expert (Version 11 Stat-Ease Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) were applied to investigate the effects of the starting TiO2 concentration (A), pH (B) of the cell-free filtrate, and the reaction duration (C) on TiO2 NPs size (Table 3). The following polynomial equation fits the experimental results: Y=β0+β1X1+β2X2+β3X3+β12X1X2+β13X1X3+β23X2X3+β11X112+β22X222+β33X332 where Y represents the response (TiO2 NPs size (nm)), β0 is constant, β1, β2, and β3 is linear coefficients, β12, β13, and β23 is cross product coefficients, β11, β22, and β33 is quadratic coefficients.

Optimizing Cultural Factors Using CCD

The central composite design (CCD) was used to analyze the interaction among six cultural factors and deter- mine their optimal values (Table 1). The modeling was conducted using Design Expert (version 6.0.8, Stat-Ease, Inc., USA) statistical software including analysis of variance (ANOVA) that generated 90 experiments to obtain the interactions between the process variables and the response. To validate the statistical model, an experiment under the optimal condition predicted by the model was conducted and the actual experimental value was compared with the predicted one.

Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array experimental design was used to optimize the formulation parameters of TPL-SFNPs and CL-SFNPs. A 3-factor, 3-level design was employed for studying the interaction and quadratic effects of the formulation variables. The initial concentrations of SF, TPL and CL and volume ratio of organic/SF solution for formulation optimization were selected based on preliminary experiments (data not shown). The three factors and their levels selected for formulation optimization are shown in Table S1. A Design-Expert® (Version 10.1, Stat-Ease Inc., USA) software was used for analyzing the results.

All hydrodynamic diameter and %Inhibition data are presented as average and standard deviation (SD). According to the experimental design, CCD was constructed using statistical software (Design-Expert®, version 10.0.5.0, Stat-Ease, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA). The quadratic model was firstly fitted and reduced to a two-factor interaction and linear models corresponding to the significant p-value (< 0.05) and insignificant Lack-of-fit (p-value > 0.05) from analysis of variance (ANOVA). The significant model was accepted when the p-value of the model was less than 0.05, with a high goodness of fit (R2), and no correlation in the residual plots and the residuals were normally distributed.
