Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVisual Curvatures of H1N1 Incidences in African, Asian, European, American and Oceanic NationsRamalingam ShanmugamThe World Health Organization (WHO) was worried about the outbreak of H1N1 epidemic worldwide as it consumed several human lives. In a novel manner, this article defines, computes and illustrates the effectiveness of health administrators’ efforts to extinguish pandemic H1N1 using curvature concept. Data on weekly incidences of H1N1 in year 2009 among the nations in Africa, Asia, Europe, Americas … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 29 Oct 2015 · 6,946 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeterminants of Technical Efficiency of Sugarcane Production among Small Holder Farmers in Lao PDRPoungchompu SupapornThis study was to examine technical efficiency in sugarcane production in Savannakhet, Lao PDR. A stochastic frontier production function was applied with the data collected from 110 sample farmers in 2012. The results reveal that cultivated area (p<0.01), hired labor (p<0.10) and capital (p<0.10) are the major significantly positive factors in the output of sugarcane. Mean of technical efficiency was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 9 · 3 Oct 2015 · 6,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Phenomenon of Nonzero Norm of Long-Term Changes in the Total Water Supply in River BasinsViktor V. Kovalenko, Ekaterina V. GaidukovaIn hydrology, the norm of changes in water supply is considered to be equal to zero, under long-term averaging. This assumption allows for calculating and mapping the long-term evaporation rates linked by the water balance with maps of precipitation and river runoff. The phenomenon of nonzero norm of change of the total water supply is provided using the effect of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 May 2015 · 6,636 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Quantitative Plant Activity Relationship (QPAR) for Diabetics II Using Genetic AlgorithmSimanta Kumar Nayak, Bikram Kesari Ratha, Payodhar Padhi et al.The present study demonstrates a novel computational approach for Indian Traditional Medicine (ITM) for the effective antidiabetic drug. Indian traditional practitioners are using many natural Herbals for the cure of diabetes. Though many diabetes patients are getting temporarily cured still its cause and effects are unknown due to lack of proper scientific investigation. Individual plant bioactivities have been already investigated … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 1 Apr 2015 · 6,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHEALTH BROKEN WOVEN POISSON SPHERES TO MANAGE DEADLY EBOLA INCIDENCESRamalingam ShanmugamThe deadly infectious Ebola incidences scare not only to the residents of western Africa but also to the travelers and medical professionals who treat the patients, as they became victims. Since 27 July until 13 August 2014 alone, about 2,127 Ebola cases occurred in just four Western African countries: Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone and more than 50% of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 15 Oct 2014 · 6,688 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF THE INCLUSION OF INSTITUTIONAL BETTING FUNDS INTO STOCK MARKET: THE CASE OF TECHNICAL AND FUNDAMENTAL PAYOFF MODELS IN HORSERACE BETTINGCraig George Leslie Hopf, Gurudeo Anand TularamHorserace win and place returns have yet to be considered seriously as portfolio inputs in financial trading markets. However there exist technical and fundamental stochastic models of parametric and nonparametric distribution that appear to optimize expected returns from win and place investing in the horserace wagering market. In this study, a complex number optimization technique is introduced and applied to … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 23 Aug 2014 · 6,794 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMULTI-STATE MODELS OF HIV/AIDS BY HOMOGENEOUS SEMI-MARKOV PROCESSZelalem Getahun DessieMulti-state stochastic models are useful tools for studying complex dynamics such as chronic diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine factors associated with the progression between different stages of the disease and to model the progression of HIV/AIDS disease of an individual patient under ART follow-up using semi-Markov processes. A sample of 1456 patients has been taken from … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 11 Aug 2014 · 8,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE ADVERSE EFFECT OF STEEL PARTICLE CONTAMINANTS ON FATIGUE LIFE OF GREASE LUBRICATED BALL BEARINGSA. Stathis, Th. Costopoulos, D. Koulocheris, K. RaptisThe rating life of ball bearings is reduced when hard particle contaminants are present in the lubricant. Usually, this life reduction is taken into account in the calculation of modified rating life by using the contamination factor through a general characterization of the lubrication conditions. However, the impact of contaminant’s variables such as size, hardness and concentration level has to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2014 · 6,995 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE EFFECT OF AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE ON THE TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF TEFF (ERAGROSTISTEF) PRODUCERS IN ETHIOPIAAsres Elias, Makoto Nohmi, Kumi Yasunobu et al.Teff (Eragrostistef) is a major staple food crop in Ethiopia, but smallholder teff production is characterized by persistently low average yield. A major government effort aimed at raising the productivity and competitiveness of smallholder agriculture in Ethiopia involved reforming and implementing agricultural extension service known as Participatory Demonstration and Training Extension System (PADETES). Therefore, this study investigates the effect of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Dec 2013 · 9,529 accessesView PDFCite
