Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation of Magnetic Paper from Kenaf: Lumen Loading and in situ Synthesis MethodC. H. Chia, S. Zakaria, S. Ahamd et al.Magnetic papers have been successfully prepared from unbleached kenaf (hibiscus cannabinus) kraft pulps via the lumen loading and in situ synthesis process. The lumen loading method allows the magnetic fillers to be introduced into the lumen of fibres and at the same time leaving the external surfaces free from filler, resulting the better inter-fibre bonding and subsequently its papermaking properties … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,514 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHouse Price Prediction: Hedonic Price Model vs. Artificial Neural NetworkVisit Limsombunchai, Christopher Gan, Minsoo LeeThe objective of this study is to empirically compare the predictive power of the hedonic model with an artificial neural network model for house price prediction. A sample of 200 houses in Christchurch, New Zealand is randomly selected from the Harcourt website. Factors including house size, house age, house type, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, number of garages, amenities … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 9,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Distribution-Free Bayesian Approach for Indirect ComparisonsJohanna S. van Zyl, Jack D. TubbsThe objective of this paper is to consider an indirect comparison between treatments B and C when each have been compared directly to treatment A in separate studies. Problems of this type are common in Network Meta-Analysis (NMA). A commonly used method assumes that the underlying data, Y, are normally distributed and µ = E(Y) is the measure of clinical … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 3 Jul 2019 · 6,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractZinc Composition and its Effect on Magnetic Properties of Nickel-Zinc Ferrite Prepared Via Sol-gel TechniqueLee Kean Chuan, Hasnah Mohd ZaidNickel-Zinc (Ni-Zn) ferrite (Ni1-xZnxFe2O4) with different Zinc composition (x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0) were prepared and synthesized by applying sol-gel technique and the morphological characterization is done by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) to confirm the formation of Ni-Zn ferrite nanoparticle and estimate the particle sizes. Magnetic study was also performed using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 8 Jan 2018 · 8,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Bayesian Premium Estimators for Gamma Lindley Model under Squared Error Loss Function and Linex Loss FunctionAhmed Sadoun, Halim Zeghdoudi, Fatma Zohra Attoui, Mohamed Riad RemitaWe consider the Gamma Lindley distribution (GaL) as the conditional distribution of (X|θ,γ), we focus on the estimation of the Bayesian premium under squared error loss function (symmetric) and linear-exponential (Linex) loss function (asymmetric), using informative priors (the Gamma prior). Because of its difficulty and non-linearity, we use a numerical approximation for computing the Bayesian premium. Finally, a simulation and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2017 · 7,043 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Advances in Point of Care Diagnostic Tools: A ReviewLaura Wessels, Haider RaadGlobally, there is a great need for portable, inexpensive diagnostic tools that can provide quick, accurate results using relatively small sample volumes. Point-Of-Care (POC) measurements of human saliva, sweat and/or blood capable of detecting glucose levels, foreign pathogens such as bacteria, fungi and many different viruses (HIV, Ebola, Influenza, etc.) that use microfluidics and optofluidics are close to commercial availability. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2016 · 8,234 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVE FIRMS: BUDGETARY ADJUSTMENTS AND ANALYSIS OF CREDIT ACCESS APPLYING SCORING SYSTEMSGiuseppe Bonazzi, Mattia IottiCooperatives are one of the most important types of companies in the agricultural sector. Cooperatives allow overcoming the limitations of the fragmentation of agricultural property, increasing the level of production of small-sized farms and selling the product so that it reaches a sufficient critical mass. Moreover, cooperatives are often characterized by undercapitalization and even difficult credit access because banks conduct … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 5 May 2014 · 6,916 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNelder-Mead Method with Local Selection Using Neighborhood and Memory for Stochastic OptimizationNoocharin Tippayawannakorn, Juta PichitlamkenWe consider the Nelder-Mead (NM) simplex algorithm for optimization of discrete-event stochastic simulation models. We propose new modifications of NM to reduce computational time and to improve quality of the estimated optimal solutions. Our means include utilizing past information of already seen solutions, expanding search space to their neighborhood and using adaptive sample sizes. We compare performance of these extensions … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 May 2013 · 6,121 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTest Anxiety and Foreign Language Reading Anxiety in a Reading-Proficiency TestYa-Chin Tsai, Yi-Chih LiProblem statement: The impact of foreign-language anxiety has been researched with respect to the reading domain; however, how it affects reading proficiency in relation to test anxiety in a test situation is yet to be explored. Approach: This study investigated possible relationships between test anxiety, foreign language reading anxiety and English reading proficiency by using scales published in previous studies. … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2012 · 15,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution, Arrangement and Interconnectedness of Cell Surface Receptor sites in the body of an OrganismUtoh-Nedosa, Uchechukwu AnastasiaCell surface receptors have been identified as the sites of disease infectivity in living organisms in a previous study. Drugs used for the treatment or cure of infections have to eliminate infections through attacking infective organisms at the cell surface receptors to which the infective organisms are attached. Problem statement: The present study examines a wide sample of living things … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 26 Jan 2012 · 7,355 accessesView PDFCite
