Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFourier transforms Investigation of Global Solar Radiation at True Noon: in the Desert climatologyU. Ali Rahoma, A.H. HassanThe aim of this work has been to obtain a typical annual time a function by the application of a calculation procedure based on a Fourier analysis to global solar radiation data of nine years at Helwan Egypt from June 1991 to August 1999. This function allows us to estimate the most probable values of the horizontal daily global solar … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adjustable Sample Size Estimation Model for Usability AssessmentHaidar S. Jabbar, T.V. Gopal, Sattar J. AboudUsability assessment plays a fundamental role in discovering usability problems and the determination of the level of usability for a given software product. One crucial aspect in every usability assessment is the estimation of the sample size desired for a software product. Once we start estimating the sample size needed for a usability assessment, a baffling question comes in mind: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,966 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntelligent Voice-Based Door Access Control System Using Adaptive-Network-based Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) for Building SecurityWahyudi, Winda Astuti, Syazilawati MohamedSecure buildings are currently protected from unauthorized access by a variety of devices. Even though there are many kinds of devices to guarantee the system safety such as PIN pads, keys both conventional and electronic, identity cards, cryptographic and dual control procedures, the people voice can also be used. The ability to verify the identity of a speaker by analyzing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 8,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Trivalent Aluminum and Divalent Zinc in Drinking Waters by Differential Pulse Stripping VoltammetryAhmed HassanA Sensitive and precise differential- pulse stripping voltammetric method at static mercury dropping electrode (SMDE) has been applied to measure zinc(II) by anodic stripping at pH~¼4 and aluminum(III) by adsorptive cathodic stripping mode in presence of 1&Cross10-3M N,N` -bis-2-hydroxyethyl-2-amino-ethane sulphonic acid (BES) buffer at pH~7.1 and 2⨯10-5 M of alizarin red S as a ligand in drinking water samples purchased … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch Note: Predicting MRSA Colonization of the Hospitalized Patient on AdmissionRocco J. Perla, Gail E. Cormier, Eric L. Knutson et al.The primary aim of this brief and exploratory study was to examine the ability of two Infection Control Practitioners in a medium size community hospital to effectively predict the MRSA colonization status of patients on admission compared to a standard MRSA screen in real time using only their clinical judgment and review of selected hospital documents. Sensitivity and specificity results … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-objective Genetic Algorithm for Association Rule Mining Using a Homogeneous Dedicated Cluster of WorkstationsS. Dehuri, A. K. Jagadev, A. Ghosh, R. MallThis study presents a fast and scalable multi-objective association rule mining technique using genetic algorithm from large database. The objective functions such as confidence factor, comprehensibility and interestingness can be thought of as different objectives of our association rule-mining problem and is treated as the basic input to the genetic algorithm. The outcomes of our algorithm are the set of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 7,519 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-activity and Brand Name Local Products on an Island of the North Aegean, GreeceFotis Chatzitheodoridis, Ioannis Mountousis, Konstantinos Papanikolaou, Dimitrios TsilochristosThe present work refers to a research that took place on Limnos, an island found in North Aegean, the more northern islander region of Greek Archipelagos. In the frame of the research, the factors that shape and influence the rural growth of the island were studied. Via these factors, the structure of rural occupation, as well as the multi-activity phenomenon … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,822 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoosted Regression Estimates of Spatial Data: Pointwise InferenceMarco Di Marzio, Charles C. TaylorIn this study simple nonparametric techniques have been adopted to estimate the trend surface of the Swiss rainfall data. In particular we employed the Nadaraya-Watson smoother and in addition, an adapted-by boosting-version of it. Additionally, we have explored the use of the Nadaraya-Watson estimator for the construction of pointwise confidence intervals. Overall, boosting does seem to improve the estimate as … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Oral Contraceptives and Abnormal Pap SmearSayedmohsen Sayednozadi, Mohammadreza Hassany, Mohammad Arash RamezaniTo assess the hypothesis that combined Oral Contraceptive (OCs) increase the risk of cervical neoplasia, we conducted a multicenter Case-Control study in Mashhad, the capital of Khorasan province. Seventy-eight women with moderate to severe dysplasia at Pap smear as case group and one hundred fifty nine women with normal Pap smear were selected as the control group for evaluation. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpidemiology and Seasonal Pattern of Malaria in an Irrigated Area of Eastern SudanYousif El-Safi Himeidan, Efatih. M. Malik, Ishag AdamEpidemiological patterns of malaria are widely different; such information can help programs to design interventions relevant to situation. This cohort study investigated the epidemiology of malaria in Dipaira camp, an irrigated area, in eastern Sudan during the period July 2004 to Jun 2005. At baseline, the relevant socio-demographic factors and the monthly malaria parasitological surverys were carried-out. Thirty- six (4.1%) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
