March Publication Roundup

Here's the latest Publication Roundup! In these monthly posts, we'll feature recent papers that cited Design-Expert® or Stat-Ease® 360 software. Please submit your paper to us if you haven't seen it featured yet!

While none of this month's publications met our standards for a featured article (publicly accessible & correctly applying DOE), they're still all quite interesting! Take a look.
