Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Network Inference in Binary Logistic Regression: A Case Study of Salmonella sp Bacterial Contamination on Vannamei ShrimpPratnya Paramitha Oktaviana, Kartika FithriasariRecently binary logistic regression has been used to identify four factors or predictor variables that supposedly influence the response variable, which is testing result of Salmonella sp bacterial contamination on vannamei shrimp. Binary logistic regression analysis results that there are two predictor variables which is significantly affect the testing result of Salmonella sp bacterial contamination on vannamei shrimp, those are … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2017 · 7,667 accessesView PDF Cite

HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of Price Effect and Country of Origin Effect on Consumer Counterfeit Products PurchaseMartin Owusu AnsahProliferation of Counterfeit Consumer Products is one of the insistent apprehensions confronting managers and companies in many countries. The current study compared the influence of price and country of origin effects on consumer attitude and purchase intention of counterfeit consumer products in the Kumasi Metropolis of Ghana. The study adopted a positivist research philosophy and a descriptive research design in … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2017 · 8,202 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModerating Effects of IT Applications on IT Capability and Competitive AdvantageLew Sook LingGenerally, this study aims to assist domestic companies to determine appropriate Information Technology (IT) applications to attain Competitive Advantage (CA).

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Approach to Process Planning: The Urban Traffic Controller ExampleJimoh Falilat Olaitan, Simon Parkinson, Thomas Leo McCluskeyAutomated planning and scheduling are increasingly utilised in solving evsery day planning task. Planning in domains with continuous numeric changes present certain limitations and tremendous challenges to advanced planning algorithms. There are many pertinent examples to the engineering community; however, a case study is provided through the urban traffic controller domain. This paper introduce a novel hybrid approach to state-space … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 23 Aug 2017 · 7,484 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of an Assisting Device for Training "Normal-Like" Sit To Stand MovementPierluigi Rea, Erika Ottaviano, Gianni CastelliThis paper presents a performance evaluation and results on the modelling and simulation of an assisting device to be used as aiding or guiding system for people with reduced mobility. There is a high level of motivation for elderly to perform independently basic Activities of Daily Life (ADL). Therefore, it is of great interest to design and implement reliable assisting … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2017 · 7,694 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVulnerability and Protection of Glass Windows and Facades under Blast: Experiments, Methods and Current TrendsXihong Zhang, Chiara BedonGlass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades for modern constructions. Nevertheless, due to its relatively low tensile strength and mostly brittle behaviour, compared to other structural members, glass windows/facades are one of the most fragile components for a building envelop that are always associated with vast casualties in a blast incident. Several researches have been carried out to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 24 Jul 2017 · 14,153 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscrete Vortex Prediction of Flow around Two Cylinders in Side by Side using Simple Grid SystemWisnu WardhanaModelling of flows around two cylinders in side by side arrangement using a simple overlapping grid system is carried out. The use of such grid system is intended to give a considerable reduction in terms of the CPU time, especially during the calculation of the vortex velocity. It has been shown that this method is not only time efficient, but … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2017 · 8,133 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnivariate Generalized Additive Models for Simulated Stationary and Non-Stationary Generalized Pareto DistributionMostafa Behzadi, Mohd Bakri Adam, Anwar FitriantoGeneralized additive models as a predictor in regression approaches, are made up over cubic spline basis and penalized regression splines. Despite of linear predictor in GLM, generalized additive models use a sum of smooth functions of covariates as a predictor. The data which are used in this study have generalized Pareto distribution and have been simulated by inversion method. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2017 · 7,430 accessesView PDF Cite
