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 abstractApproximation Methods for Fixed Points of Quasi-contractive Mappings in Arbitrary Real Banach SpacesOlusegun O. OwojoriOwojori and Imoru [1] introduced some iteration methods and investigated its convergence for pseudocontractive and accretive operators in arbitrary Banach spaces. In this work, strong convergence results are established for fixed points of a general type of quasicontractive mappings in arbitrary real Banach spaces. Our results here represent some improvements on the earlier results of Owojori and Imoru [1], Naimpally … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,155 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram-Derived Radial Decision Trees: An Innovative Approach to Susceptibility Data DisplayRocco J. Perla, Paul P. BelliveauHospital antibiograms (ABGMs) are often presented in the form of large 2-factor (single organism vs. single antimicrobial) tables. Presenting susceptibility data in this fashion, although of value, does have limitations relative to drug resistant subpopulations. As the crisis of antimicrobial drug-resistance continues to escalate globally, clinicians need (1) to have access to susceptibility data that, for isolates resistant to first-line … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGranulomatous Amoebic Encephalitis: Clinical Diagnosis and ManagementNaveed Ahmed KhanGranulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) is a serious human disease with fatal consequences. With the mortality rate of more than 90%, it is not surprising that the majority of GAE infections are identified at the post-mortem stage. The most distressing aspect is that the high level of mortality is attributed to lack of awareness. Early diagnosis with aggressive treatment can lead … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
