Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncome Distribution and Health Status: Econometric Evidence from OECD CountriesVasudeva N.R. MurthyThis research note, using a cross-sectional sample consisting of 27 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries (OECD) for the reference year 2002, empirically examines the relationship between health status as measured by infant mortality and the degree of income inequality, given the effect of certain controlled variables. The empirical findings based on the estimation by robust econometric methods, show … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,251 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractS-Numbers of Weighted Shift Operators on P-Summable Formal Entire Functions of M-VariablesNashat Faried, Z.A. Hassanain, H. Abd El Ghaffar, A. LokmanThe idea of multiplying a formal Taylor power series by z to make a right shift operator on the space of all square summable sequences of real numbers was due to A.L. Shield. In this work, we consider Taylor power series in m-variables and we give upper and lower estimations of s-numbers for multiplication of m- right weighted shift operators. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 3 May 2019 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Prescriptive Specialized Learning Management System for Academic Feedback towards Improved LearningAnnette van der Merwe, Tiny du Toit, Hennie KrugerThe dynamic nature of technological advances is causing changes in many fields and especially in tertiary education. Student numbers are increasing annually and institutions need to maintain education quality whilst ensuring student retention. A specialized learning management system (SLMS) was developed in this study that provides students with comprehensive feedback which will enable them to better manage their academic performance. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 24 Oct 2018 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Skid Resistance for Different Roadway Surface TreatmentsOsama A. Abaza, Tanay Datta Chowdhury, Mahmoud ArafatPavement skid resistance impacts road functionality and can affect user safety and vehicle operation costs. This study was an investigation of the effect of sealcoats on skid resistance. Seven different sealcoats-fog seal, chip seal, slurry seal, sand seal, high-friction seal, cape seal, and glass seal-were lab and field tested. Laboratory samples were further tested in the field on pavement sections. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2017 · 8,136 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmooth Formant Peak Via Discrete Tchebichef TransformNur Azman Abu, Ferda Ernawan, Fadzilah SalimWith the growth in computing power, speech recognition carries a strong potential in the near future. It has even become increasingly popular with the development of mobile devices. Presumably, mobile devices have limited computational power, memory size and battery life. In general, speech recognition operation requires heavy computation due to large samples per window used. Fast Fourier Transfom (FFT) is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 10 Sep 2014 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ant-Based Clustering Algorithm with Cluster Analysis TechniquesWafa’a Omar, Amr Badr, Abd El-Fattah HegazyCluster analysis is a data mining technology designed to derive a good understanding of data to solve clustering problems by extracting useful information from a large volume of mixed data elements. Recently, researchers have aimed to derive clustering algorithms from nature’s swarm behaviors. Ant-based clustering is an approach inspired by the natural clustering and sorting behavior of ant colonies.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Genetic Algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem with Multi-RelationsSupat PatvichaichodProblem statement: The aim of this research is to investigate the Traveling Salesman Problems with Multi-Relations (TSPMR) in which each of the vertices has several edges and different weights. The study concerns the weights fluctuated by time in which the problem has more complexity than general TSP problem. However, this type of problem closes to the real-world situation in engineering … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2011 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
