Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Taxonomic Affinity of Indonesian Pummelo (Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr.) Based on Morphological CharactersRatna Susandarini, Siti Subandiyah, Rugayah et al.Citrus maxima is a tropical fruit species with high morphological variability on fruit characters, including shape, size, thickness of peel, flesh color and taste. This variability has been used by breeders and common people to practically distinguish different pummelo cultivars. Despite such well known variation, so far there is no published study specifically addressed the extent of phenotypic variability and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 8,545 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSMOOTHING SPLINE IN SEMIPARAMETRIC ADDITIVE REGRESSION MODEL WITH BAYESIAN APPROACHRita Diana, I. Nyoman Budiantara, Purhadi, Satwiko DarmestoSemiparametric additive regression model is a combination of parametric and nonparametric regression models. The parametric components are not linear but following a polynomial pattern, while the nonparametric components are unknown pattern and assumed to be contained in the Sobolev space. The nonparametric components can be approximated by smoothing spline functions. In the development of smoothing spline, the classical statistical approach … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 12 Jun 2013 · 7,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlcohol Consumption and its Correlates Among Residents of Mining Town, Kitwe, Zambia: 2011 Population Based SurveyCosmas Zyaambo, Olusegun Babaniyi, Peter Songolo et al.Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, liver cirrhosis and cancers. It has also been associated with risky sexual behaviors, hence, attributed as a factor in the increase of HIV incidence and prevalence. A cross sectional study was conducted using a modified World Health Organizations Global Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) Surveillance Initiative NCD-STEPs 1and … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2013 · 8,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagement of Data for Health Performance Measurement in the Industrialized Dairy HerdMogens Agerbo Krogh, Carsten EnevoldsenOne part of dairy herd management is to handle disease occurrence by means of health promotion, disease prevention, timely medical treatments, or eradication of disease. Supporting this part of herd management is an essential task for the cattle veterinarian. The study objective was to identify principles and tools for analysis of herd health data in industrialized dairy herds. The analysis … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2012 · 8,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSex, Health Behaviors and Social Support: Functional Decline among Older DiabeticsEmily Joy NicklettProblem statement: Men and women experience pronounced differences in functional decline as they age. The mechanisms behind these differences remain unclear, particularly among chronically ill populations. Drawing on the theory of the disablement process, this research examines sex differences in functional decline, focusing on two mechanisms suggested by the literature to partially mediate these disparities: health behaviors and social support. … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 19 May 2012 · 8,048 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Test for Two-Sample Repeated Measures Designs: Effect of High-Dimensional DataBoonyarit Choopradit, Samruam ChongcharoenProblem statement: High-dimensional repeated measures data are increasingly encountered in various areas of modern science since classical multivariate statistics, e.g,. Hotelling’s T2, are not well defined in the case of high-dimensional data. Approach: In this study, the test statistics with no specific form of covariance matrix for analyzing high-dimensional two-sample repeated measures designs with common equal covariance are proposed. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2011 · 7,332 accessesView PDFCite
