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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Automata Induction using Construction MethodMo Z. Wen, Wan MinRecurrent neural networks have recently been demonstrated to have the ability to learn simple grammars. In particular, networks using second-order units have been successfully at this task. However, it is often difficult to predict the optimal neural network size to induce an unknown automaton from examples. Instead of just adjusting the weights in a network of fixed topology, we adopt … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,209 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDigital Hardware Implementation of a Neural System Used for Nonlinear Adaptive PredictionHassène Faiedh, Chokri Souani, Kholdoun Torki, Kamel BesbesNeural networks have been widely used for many applications in digital communications. They are able to give solutions to complex problems due to their nonlinear processing and their learning and generalization. Neural networks are one of the key technologies for the communication domain and accordingly a special effort may be expected to be paid to real time hardware implementation issues. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 6,763 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNa,K-ATPase α Subunit-like Immunoreactive Proteins in Human Body FluidsJeng-Hsiung F. PengNa,K-ATPase was recently considered a target for breast cancer treatment since its potent inhibitors ouabain and related digitalis compounds that were reported circulating in body fluids before, were found to possess potent anti-breast cancer activity. Based on this finding, it is hypothesized that Na,K-ATPase derivatives could be circulating in the body and potential candidate biomarkers for early disease detection. Western … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiemann Estimation for Replicated Environmental Sampling DesignsLucio Barabesi, Marzia marcheselliIn many environmental surveys the population under study is made up of biological units scattered over a planar region. A variable is considered on each unit and the target parameter generally turns out to be the population total of the variable. In order to estimate the population total, field scientists commonly replicate a suitable design on the study region. Replicated … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,056 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Integrated Production Scheduling System in the Process IndustryMohamed K. Omar, Yasothei A.P. Suppiah, Siew C. TeoThis study introduces a three-level hierarchical production planning and scheduling approach developed and implemented in a resin factory. Our approach proposes at the first level a mixed-integer linear programming for solving the aggregate planning model. At the second level, a weighted-integer goal-programming model is developed to disaggregate the developed aggregate plans. A sequencing algorithm is developed for the third level … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview for Decomposition of Industry Energy ConsumptionChun-Chu LiuThis study is to overview several methodological related to the decomposition approach based on the energy consumption. Based on a comparison of the size of the residual term that the adaptive weighting Divisia and the simple average Divisia index method, is most robust, exhibiting the smallest residual term. A complete decomposition model also introduced here has solved a residual problem. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Landscape Metrics to Surface Water Biology in the Savannah River BasinMaliha S. Nash, Deborah J. Chaloud, Susan E. FransonSurface water quality for the Savannah River basin was assessed using water biology and landscape metrics. Two multivariate analyses, partial least square and canonical correlation, were used to describe how the structural variation in landscape metrics may affect surface water biology and to define the key landscape variable(s) that contribute the most to variation in surface water quality. The results … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Environmental Performance-HSEQ Management System, Regarding the International and Iranian Oil and Gas General ContractorsJ. Nouri, M. Abbasspour, E. Roayaei, H. NikoomaramThe ever-increasing significance of the health, safety, environment and quality Management system has led general contractors including those involved in the oil and gas industry to place the implementation of this integrated system on their agenda, in a way that the implementation and execution of this system is considered as one of their operation and development strategies. The purpose of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
