Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of C*-Integral for Radial Cracks in Annular Discs under Constant Angular Velocity and Internal PressureA.R. Gowhari-Anaraki, F. Djavanroodi, S. ShadlouThe finite element method has been used to predict the creep rupture parameter, C*-Integral for single and double-edge cracks in eight annular rotating discs under constant angular velocity with and without internal pressure. In this study, a new dimensionless creeping crack configuration factor, Q* has been introduced. Power law creeping finite element analyses have been performed and the results are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,721 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of C*-Integral in Thin T-Sections Subjected to Projection and Remote Loading Base on Elastic Stress Concentration FactorA.R. Gowhari-Anaraki, F. Djavanroodi, S. ShadlouThe finite element method has been used to predict the creep rupture parameter, C*-Integral of flat T-section bar subjected to loaded projection and remote loading with a crack or crack-like flaw introduced in the fillet (i.e., high stress) region of the component. In this study, a new dimensionless creeping crack configuration factor, Q* has been introduced. Power low creeping finite … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,469 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Affecting Agricultural Land Fragmentation in Iran: A Case Study of Ramjerd Sub District in Fars ProvinceKhalil Kalantari, Gholamhossein AbdollahzadehThe objective of this study was to examine the factors influencing fragmentation of landholdings commonly regarded as a major obstacle to agricultural development in Iran. A sample of farmers was selected and household and village-level data from 12 villages of Ramjerd sub district in Fars province were used to test these factors empirically. Required data were collected by questionnaire from … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,407 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Performances of the OLS and some GLS Estimators when Stochastic Regressors are both Collinear and Correlated with Error TermsKayode AyindeThe Classical Linear Regression Model assumes that regressors are non – stochastic, independent and uncorrelated with the error terms. These assumptions are not always tenable especially where regressors are not often assumed fixed in repeated sampling. In this paper, with stochastic regressors, the performances of the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and some Generalized Least Square (GLS) estimators are investigated and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,343 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Empirical Study of Robust Modified Recursive Fits of Moving Average ModelsMohamed Ali Ismail, Hend A. Auda, Joe W. McKean, Mahmoud Mohamed SadekThe time-series Moving Average (MA) model is a nonlinear model; see, for example. For traditional Least Squares (LS) fits, there are several algorithms to use for computing its fit. Since the model is nonlinear, Fuller discusses a Newton-type step algorithm. proposed a recursive algorithm based on a sequence of three linear LS regressions. In this study, we robustify Koreisha and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 28 Jul 2022 · 5,859 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAre Improvements in Physical Fitness after an Exercise Program Related to the Symptomatology in Patients with FibromyalgiaBorja Sanudo, Luis Carrasco, Moisés de Hoyo, Nicolae OchianaProblem statement: Physical exercise is considered one of the main strategies in management of Fibromyalgia (FM); While many studies have shown relevant improvements in the patients’ physical condition and psychological status, the efficacy of these treatments have not yet been completely determined and whether or not these improvements are related with symptom severity is still debated. The aim of this … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,653 accessesView PDF Cite
