Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Proposed Adaptable Quality Model for Software Quality AssuranceSouheil Khaddaj, Gerard HorganMany of the early quality models have followed a hierarchical approach in which a set of factors that affect quality are defined, with little scope for expansion. More recent models have been developed that follow a 'Define your own' approach with locally tailored factors. The aim of this study is to present a new model to software quality assurance which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrade-GDP Nexus in Iran: An Application of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) ModelMosayeb Pahlavani, Ed Wilson, Andrew C. WorthingtonThis study employed annual time series data (1960-2003) and unit root tests with multiple breaks to determine the most likely times of structural breaks in major factors impacting on the trade-GDP nexus in Iran We found, inter alia, that the endogenously determined structural breaks coincided with important events in the Iranian economy, including the 1979 Islamic revolution and the outbreak … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 8,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Optical and Physical Roles of a Dielectric Laser Dye Solvent Which Affects on the Dye Laser OperationRiyad A.M. GhazyIt is well known that when the pump laser beam incidence on the laser dye liquid it will be absorbed. This absorption tends to heat the laser active medium, which is the laser dye solution. In view of this the correlated property of that active medium well change tends to shift the operated frequency and wavelength. Therefore, one of most … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaser Interaction and Related Plasma PhenomenaFrederick Osman, Peter Evans, Peter Toups et al.Computations are to be performed using the laser driven inertial fusion energy option based on volume ignition with the natural adiabatic self-similarity compression and expansion hydrodynamics [1]. The numerical work includes the establishing of a multi-branch reaction code to be used for simultaneous fusion reactions of D-D, D-T D-He3 and mutual nuclear reaction products. This will permit the studies of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,816 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMacroeconomic Determinants of Non-Performing Loans: An Empirical Study of Some Arab CountriesMahmoud Abdelaziz Touny, Mohamed Abdelhameed ShehabThe issue of non-performing loans is one of the factors that reflect the soundness of the banking sector. The main objective of this study is to identify macroeconomic determinants of non-performing loans in some Arab countries through the period 2000-2012 using the dynamic panel data approach. The outcomes of this paper suggest that inflation rate has a negative impact on … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 9 May 2015 · 7,930 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputation of the Locations of the Libration Points in the Relativistic Restricted Three-Body ProblemS.E. Abd El-Bar, F.A. Abd El-SalamProblem statement: In this study, the effects of Relativistic Restricted three-Body Problem (in brief RRTBP) on the equilibrium points of both triangular and collinear is considered. The approximate locations of the collinear and triangular points are determined. Series expansions are used to develope in µ and 1/c2 as small parameters. To check the validity of our solution, when ignoring 1/c2 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 29 Feb 2012 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPublic Perception and the Future of the Illinois Dairy IndustryC. Matthew Rendleman, Phillip R. Eberle, William C. Peterson et al.Problem statement: Illinois dairy production is shrinking both absolutely and relative to other states. If historic trends continue growth will come from larger, more technologically and economically efficient dairy operations. Several expansions that could have slowed the decline have been thwarted by community opposition. This paradox, the need for change versus resistance to growth in dairy farming, motivated the study … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Confinement on the Axial Performance of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Wrapped RC ColumnA. Rajasekaran, P.N. Raghunath, K. SugunaThe combined effect of internal steel ties and external FRP wrap was investigated using nine reinforced concrete columns with varying thickness of external wrap. The load, deflection and lateral expansions were studied at yield state and ultimate state. The results from the experimental investigations were used for performing a multi-variate linear regression analysis incorporating the contribution of tie spacing as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,566 accessesView PDFCite
