Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Separable Logarithmic Algorithm for Non-Linear OptimizationAbbas Y. Al-Bayati, Hawraz N. JabbarProblem statement: The idea of this study stemmed from the fact that most of the currently used optimization algorithms use a local quadratic representation of the objective function. It also arisen from the fact that the objective function may not be represented adequately by quadratic functions and the global minimizer may be obtained for objective functions. So, in this study, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 6,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Pollution Hazards of Shallow Well Water in Abeokuta and Environs, Southwest, NigeriaE. O. Orebiyi, J. A. Awomeso, O. A. Idowu et al.Problem statement: Pollution of well water, either from point or non-point sources, has become a thing of health concern both in urban and rural areas. Approach: This study aim at assessing the pollution hazards of groundwater resource by sampling some shallow wells from urban and peri-urban area of Abeokuta. Collected samples were analyzed for water quality parameters using standard procedures. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCamel's Milk Protects Against Cadmium Chloride-Induced Hypocromic Microcytic Anemia and Oxidative Stress in Red Blood Cells of White Albino RatsMohammad DallakProblem statement: Cadmium is a heavy metal of wide occupational and environmental contamination. In recent years, however, Cadmium has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several clinical disorders. One of the most frequently described problems in aluminum toxicity is anemia. Therefore, the present study was carried out to determine the effectiveness of Camel's milk in alleviating the toxicity of Aluminum … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,688 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCamel's Milk Protects Against Aluminum Chloride-Induced Normocytic Normocromic Anemia, Lipid Peroxidation and Oxidative Stress in Erythrocytes of White Albino RatsFahaid Al-HashemProblem statement: Aluminum (Al) is an indifferent element from a toxicological point of view. In recent years, however, Al has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several clinical disorders. One of the most frequently described problem in aluminum toxicity is anemia. The present study was carried out to determine the effectiveness of Camel’s milk in alleviating the toxicity of aluminum … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Genetic Algorithm Based on Adaptive Repair Operator for Solving the Knapsack ProblemSunanda Gupta, M. L. GargProblem statement: Knapsack problem is a typical NP complete problem. During last few decades, Knapsack problem has been studied through different approaches, according to the theoretical development of combinatorial optimization. Approach: In this study, modified evolutionary algorithm was presented for 0/1 knapsack problem. Results: A new objective_func_evaluation operator was proposed which employed adaptive repair function named as repair and elitism … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNovel Method of the Combination of Forecasts Based on Rough SetsEslam Faik Ahmed, Wang Jia Yang, Maan Younis AbdullahProblem statement: A study in Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) had shown the problem of quantify the qualitative and the side Combined. Approach: So that problems were better resolved. The rough sets theory and AHP was introduced in the study, furthermore, these were united to create a completely new method of combination forecasts. Results: The results of numerical examples were shown … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,008 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeuristic Algorithm in Optimal Discrete Structural DesignsAlongkorn Lamom, Thaksin Thepchatri, Wanchai RivepiboonThis study proposes a Heuristic Algorithm for Material Size Selection (HAMSS). It is developed to handle discrete structural optimization problems. The proposed algorithm (HAMSS), Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SA) and the conventional design algorithm obtained from a structural steel design software are studied with three selected examples. The HAMSS, in fact, is the adaptation from the traditional SA. Although the SA … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,347 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams FailuresJuan M. Mayoral, Miguel P. RomoSeismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geo-environmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often leads to cracking, settlements, tilting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVolatility in Malaysian Stock Market: An Empirical Study Using Fractionally Integrated ApproachChin Wen CheongThis study explores the fractionally integrated (FI) time series analysis in Malaysian stock market. Four proxies of latent volatility, namely the absolute return, squared return and range-based (Parkinson and Garman and Klass) volatilities are selected for the empirical studies. In addition, the well-known FI autoregressive conditional variance (ARCH) type model is also taken into account for comparison purposes. Our empirical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Sophistication and Differentiated Emotions during Mathematical Problem SolvingBradford D. Allen, James CarifioGeorge Polya, author of Mathematical Discovery and the enduring best seller How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method, claims that more sophisticated people experience more differentiated emotion during mathematical problem solving, a claim that has been untested for nearly fifty years. Using instruments that measure ongoing evaluations and emotion in real time, and traits that reflect mathematical … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,579 accessesView PDFCite
