Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow of Temperature-dependent Viscous Fluid Between Parallel Heated Walls: Exact Analytical Solutions in the Presence of Viscous DissipationK. S. Adegbie, F. I. AlaoWe examine steady incompressible flow of viscous liquids between parallel heated walls of plane Couette device. The temperature of the upper and lower walls of the device are maintained at T = Tb and T = T0 respectively. Of a particular interest are exact analytical solutions of the coupled non-linear differential equations resulting from plane Couette flow obtained for the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch Note: Standard Scores Based on the Median and Inter-quartile RangeJames CarifioRecently when asked to help with statistical analyses of the Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MEDPar) Data, I encountered a common statistical and analytical problem with this national database, which is also common to many national and health databases. This problem was the problem of extremely skewed distributions (g1 and/or g2 typically exceeding 20), which creates numerous difficulties in comparing … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,840 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Lignite and Firewood Co-combustion in a Furnace for Tobacco Curing ApplicationNakorn Tippayawong, Chutchawan Tantakitti, Satis ThavornunCo-combustion of lignite and firewood was investigated for an application in tobacco curing industry in Northern Thailand. Extensive experiments have been carried out in a newly developed furnace suitable for small curing unit, in place of locally made furnace. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the performance of the combustion chamber in the required thermal output range for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Models for Reconstruction of Rainfall Fields in a Cloud Seeding ExperimentSujit k. sahu, Giovanna Jona Lasinio, Arianna orasi, Kanti V. MardiaIn response to the drought experienced in Southern Italy a rain seeding project has been setup and developed during the years 1989-1994. The initiative was taken with the purpose of applying existing methods of rain enhancement technology to regions of south Italy including Puglia. The aim of this study is to provide statistical support for the evaluation of the experimental … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPharmacodynamic Comparison of the Carbapenems Against E. coli and Klebsiella spp. Containing Extended spectrum β-lactamasesKathryn J. Eagye, Joseph L. Kuti, David P. NicolauCarbapenems are the treatment of choice for extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). Ertapenem is a new member of the carbapenem class, and is often grouped with imipenem and meropenem as a recommended treatment for ESBLs. However, new in vitro data question ertapenem’s inclusion as a first line treatment for these bacteria, suggesting that ertapenem has a lower likelihood of obtaining appropriate pharmacodynamic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,886 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 abstractSupporting the Josephson Interpretation of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions and Stabilization of Nuclear WasteF. Osman, H. Hora, X. Z. Li et al.Brian Josephson appealed at the meeting of the Nobel Laureates July 2004 against the ignorance of physicist to the phenomenon of cold fusion. Though there are good reasons against many publications on this topic but not for all what was reported. It seems to be indicated to summarize the following serious, reproducible and confirmed observations on the reactions of protons … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of the Nature Properties of PlasmaPeter Evans, Frederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThis study presents the characteristics of the plasma and the effect of the laser beam to best suit the plasma model behavior. Special attention is paid to the “Genuine” Two Fluid Model and the ponder-motive and transient forces. These models are translated into a numerical study of the parameters, such as the electric field density and temperature distributions once electromagnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,566 accessesView PDFCite
