Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMean Age of Menarche in Trinidad and Its Relationship to Body Mass Index, Ethinicity and Mothers Age of MenarcheEdward O. Uche-Nwachi, A. Odekunle, Johann Gray et al.Menarche is the first menstrual period. It is the final event in the physical manifestation of gonadal development. A study in Europe found that the median age of menarche was 12 years and 11 months and that by the tenth year, 0.8% of the girls had their first menses, while the figure for the eleventh and twelfth years were 3.6 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,992 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeural Networks for Interferences Suppression in DS/CDMA with Rayleigh Fading Channel and Power Control ErrorY. Jabrane, R. Iqdour, B. Ait Essaid et al.The exponential chip weighting waveforms have been designed with the purpose of multiple access interferences (MAI) rejection based on the concept that the optimum despreading sequence in reference emphasizes the transitions in the received spreading signal of interest. The despreading sequence weighted by exponential chip waveforms was determined by only one parameter. The objective of this study, was to introduce … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,382 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Mirex Concentrations along the Southern Shorelines of the Great Lakes, USADennis A. Apeti, Gunnar G. lauensteinMirex is a persistent and toxic polychlorinated pesticide that has compromised environmental quality in the Great Lakes region since the 1960s. As a bioaccumulative and carcinogenic compound, mirex at its current levels in Lake Ontario is a concern because of the potential for trophic level transfer and biomagnification in top predators. As a part of the NOAA’s National Status and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,934 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtended IOWG Operator and its Use in Group Decision Making Based on Multiplicative Linguistic Preference RelationsZeshui XuIn [1], Xu and Da introduced the Induced Ordered Weighted Geometric (IOWG) operator, which takes as its argument pairs, called OWG pairs, in which one component is used to induce an ordering over the second components which are exact numerical values and then aggregated. In this study, we develop an extended IOWG (EIOWG) operator, in which the second components are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,118 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Niacin on Hyperleptinemia and Ob Gene mRNA Over-Expression in Adipose Tissue of Dexamethasone Treated RatsTahoora Shomali, Mahnaz Taherianfard, Mehdi Fazeli, Niloofar SafaeiProblem statement: Glucocorticoid-induced ob gene over-expression and resulted hyperleptinemia may lead to adverse consequences especially on cardiovascular system; therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of niacin on hyperleptinemia and ob gene over-expression due to dexamethasone administration in rats. Approach: Twenty four adult male rats divided randomly into four equal groups: 1- normal saline (control), 2- dexamathasone … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2011 · 7,988 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSEQUENTIAL ESTIMATION OF THE SQUARE OF THE RAYLEIGH PARAMETERMohamed TahirThe problem addressed is that of sequentially estimating the square of the parameter of the Rayleigh distribution, subject to a weighted squared loss plus cost of sampling. We propose a sequential procedure and provide a second-order asymptotic expansion for the incurred regret. It is seen that the asymptotic regret is negative for a range of values of the parameter. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2014 · 6,439 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordWeighted Semi-Blind Channel Identification by Cross Relation MethodMohamed Tahar Taba, S. FemmamProblem statement: The bandwidth efficiency of many communication systems could be improved if the transmission channel was estimated blindly without resort to training sequences. GMSK was a spectrum-efficient modulation scheme and it was adopted as the modulation standard of GSM systems. Approach: However, because of its phase modulation, Gaussian filtering and partial response signalling properties, Results: The simulation results showed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,891 accessesView PDF Cite
