Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Interregional Commodity FlowsWirach Hirun, Sompong SirisoponsilpProblem statement: Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) was launched to collect comprehensive freight flow data throughout the kingdom of Thailand. The survey’s database is the most complete collection of commodity flow data in Thailand. The need to reveal interregional freight characteristics using available data from the CFS led to the objectives of this research. Approach: An origin destination matrix based on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPesticide-Tolerant Bacteria Isolated from Agricultural Canals in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South TexasSandra Puente Aguirre, Kristine L. LoweAtrazine and oxamyl are commonly-used pesticides in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. Problem statement: Pesticides may become environmental contaminants due to overuse, runoff and other mechanisms and may impact non-target organisms and ecosystems. Pesticides may be degraded by indigenous microorganisms or by abiotic means. In this study, waterborne bacteria from agricultural canals were examined to assess potential … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCapital Structure and Corporate Performance in Nigeria Petroleum Industry: Panel Data AnalysisDare Funso David, Sola OlorunfemiProblem statement: The actual impact of capital structure on corporate performance in Nigeria has been a major problem among researchers that has not been resolved. Approach: The study looks at the impact of capital structure on corporate performance in the Nigerian Petroleum Industry. Results: The study employed panel data analysis by using Fixed-effect estimation, Random-effect estimation and Maximum likelihood estimation. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,336 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNegative Binomial-Lindley Distribution and Its ApplicationHossein Zamani, Noriszura IsmailProblem statement: The modeling of claims count is one of the most important topics in actuarial theory and practice. Many attempts were implemented in expanding the classes of mixed and compound distributions, especially in the distribution of exponential family, resulting in a better fit on count data. In some cases, it is proven that mixed distributions, in particular mixed Poisson … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 15,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Detection Algorithm for a Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output Multiuser Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access in Time-Varying ChannelsFares Sayadi, Mahamod Ismail, Norbahiah Misran et al.Problem statement: Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding has been applied for the uplink of a Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) system based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) channel from k users, which moves at vehicular speed, to the Base-Station (BS) is time-varying. For time-varying channels, Sphere Decoding (SD) was introduced to perform ML decoding. Whereas, computational … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Genetic Algorithm for the Segmentation of Known Touching ObjectsEdgar Scavino, Dzuraidah Abdul Wahab, Hassan Basri et al.Problem statement: Segmentation is the first and fundamental step in the process of computer vision and object classification. However, complicate or similar colour pattern add complexity to the segmentation of touching objects. The objective of this study was to develop a robust technique for the automatic segmentation and classification of touching plastic bottles, whose features were previously stored in a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultilateral Environmental Agreements versus World Trade Organization System: A Comprehensive StudyAditi Mathur, Siddharth DangProblem statement: Most environmental problems have a transboundary nature and often global in scope, and can only be addressed effectively through international co-operation. Multilateral Environmental Agreement (MEA) is the main method available under the international law for countries to work together on different global environmental issues. This research was needed to observe how MEAs as agreements between states take the … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Rigorous Proof for the Invariant Study of the Problem in Section VI in "Matched Subspace Detectors"Fangyuan Nan, Yaonan Wang, Fuhai LiProblem statement: This research provided rigorous proof for the invariant study of the problem in section VI in "matched subspace detectors". About 14 years ago an important research entitled "matched subspace detectors" was published in IEEE transactions on signal processing, Vol. 42, No. 8, August 1994. Since its publication, the study has been widely cited in many areas. The main … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Theory of the Risks of Venture Capital FinancingEdmund H. MantellProblem statement: There is no general theory analyzing how the time-varying cash flows of venture capitalist financing affect the likelihood of success of a new venture. This research addressed that lacuna in the literature. Approach: Research in the area of venture capital financing was needed because of the importance of new ventures as germinators of technological innovation. The research in … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of the Simplified Fast Transversal Filter Type Algorithm for Adaptive FilteringMadjid Arezki, Ahmed Benallal, Daoud BerkaniProblem statement: In this study, we proposed a new algorithm M-SMFTF for adaptive filtering with fast convergence and low complexity. Approach: It was the result of a simplified FTF type algorithm, where the adaptation gain was obtained only from the forward prediction variables and using a new recursive method to compute the likelihood variable. Results: The computational complexity was reduced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,700 accessesView PDFCite
