Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Evolutionary Fitness of Bounded Rationality: Heterogeneous Populations in Antagonistic InteractionsTassos PatokosConventional game theory assumes hyper-rational players, while evolutionary game theory abandons the assumption. This paper studies what happens when agents of both profiles co-exist and get engaged in a series of antagonistic interactions (the Hawk-Dove game). It is shown that if rational agents are perfectly informed as to the type of their opponent, they find it optimal to always be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 1 Dec 2005 · 8,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPattern Classification: An Improvement Using Combination of VQ and PCA Based TechniquesAlok Sharma, Kuldip K. Paliwal, Godfrey C. OnwuboluThis study firstly presents a survey on basic classifiers namely Minimum Distance Classifier (MDC), Vector Quantization (VQ), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Nearest Neighbor (NN) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). Then Vector Quantized Principal Component Analysis (VQPCA) which is generally used for representation purposes is considered for performing classification tasks. Some classifiers achieve high classification accuracy but their data storage requirement and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Unstructured P2P SystemsZhi Jun Li, Ming Hong LiaoLoad balancing is a generally concerned problem in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. Many researches on load balancing in the structured P2P systems have been launched currently, such as Chord or other DHTs. Although the researches on load balancing in unstructured P2P systems are emerged nowadays, the simple mechanisms achieved can only perform effectively in uniform environment. In this study, the influence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type I and Dranulysin as Immunological Markers in Congestive Heart FailureSimone de Lima e Silva Deo, Maria Do Carmo Valente De Crasto, Alda Maria Da-Cruz et al.Previous studies have shown that circulating levels of cytokines are increased in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), resulting in myocardial depression. In this work, we have determined serum levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ by ELISA, detected sTNFR-I by dot ELISA, as well as TNFα, IL-6, IL-10 and granulysin mRNA in unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by RT-PCR in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractβ-Spline Estimation in a Semiparametric Regression Model with Nonlinear Time Series ErrorsJinhong You, Gemai Chen, Xian ZhouWe study the estimation problems for a partly linear regression model with a nonlinear time series error structure. The model consists of a parametric linear component for the regression coefficients and a nonparametric nonlinear component. The random errors are unobservable and modeled by a first-order Markov bilinear process. Based on a B-spline series approximation of the nonlinear component function, we … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,734 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Economic Policies in Korea and Malaysia after the Financial CrisisSeok YoonThe Asian Economic Crisis of 1997 escalated from Southeast Asia and landed in Northeast Asia. However, in the process of recovery from the crisis, two countries took the opposite approaches. The Korean Government adopted the plans from the IMF and received a rescue fund, but the Malaysian Government adopted the independent recovery plans. With strong fundamentals, a generally liberal and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,820 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrade-GDP Nexus in Iran: An Application of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) ModelMosayeb Pahlavani, Ed Wilson, Andrew C. WorthingtonThis study employed annual time series data (1960-2003) and unit root tests with multiple breaks to determine the most likely times of structural breaks in major factors impacting on the trade-GDP nexus in Iran We found, inter alia, that the endogenously determined structural breaks coincided with important events in the Iranian economy, including the 1979 Islamic revolution and the outbreak … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 8,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of A.C. Impedance Spectroscopic and Cyclic Voltammetric Behavior of Some Heterocarbonyl Compounds in Both Aprotic and Aqueous MediaFarouk A. RashwanThe electrochemical behavior of eosin, isatin and alloxan in aqueous KNO3 and NaClO4 solutions on the Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode [HMDE] and in aprotic DMF and CH3CN on the Pt-disk electrode at 298 K was investigated using the Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and the Electrochemical Impedance Techniques (EIS). In the CV experiment, the electroreduction of eosin in both aqueous and non-aqueous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,665 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrong Convergence Theorems for Fixed Points of Asymptotically Nonexpansive Mappings in Uniformly Smooth Banach SpacesOlusegun Olawale OwojoriIn this work, we establish strong convergence of the improved modified three-step iteration methods for asymptotically nonexpansive operators in uniformly smooth and convex Banach spaces. Our results generalize the previous results of Schu [10], Osilike and Aniagbosor [5], Xu and Noor [13], as well as Owojori and Imoru [7] among others. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 5,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDelftia Acidovorans Bacteremia in an Intravenous Drug AbuserRocco J. Perla, Eric L. KnutsonDelftia acidovorans (Comamonas acidovorans) is an aerobic, non-fastidious, non-fermentative gram-negative bacillus classified in the Pseudomonas rRNA homology group III that is generally regarded as an environmental organism found in soil and water and as a non-pathogen. We report the first case of systemic D. acidovorans infection in a patient without a long-term immunosuppressive condition where D. acidovorans has been recovered … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,307 accessesView PDFCite
