Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeatures Study on Target Fragmentation in the Collisions Of 24Mg and 28Si with Emulsion Nuclei at 3.7A GeVA. Abd EL-DaiemProblem statement: The process of nuclear fragmentation in interactions of 3.7A GeV 24Mg and 28Si nuclei with the different target nuclei in a nuclear emulsion have been investigated. Approach: The probability of interactions without any projectile fragment with charge Z≥2 is zero for hydrogen target, but increases by increasing the mass of the target. Results: The disruption of a projectile … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,674 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 · 15,689 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Calculating Activity Slack in Stochastic Project NetworksGary MitchellProblem statement: Identifying critical tasks in a project network is easily done when task times are deterministic, but doing so under stochastic task times is problematic. The few methods that have been proposed contain serious drawbacks which lead to identifying critical tasks incorrectly, leaving project managers without the means to (1) identify and rank the most probable sources of project … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Low-Power CMOS Operational Amplifier with High Slew Rate and High Common-Mode Rejection RatioIsmail Nabhan, Moussa AbdallahProblem statement: High speed operational amplifier is always an on-going research topic since major high speed application are needed. Approach: A two-stage operational amplifier (op amp) is designed, simulated and fabricated using a UMC 0.5 μm 2P2M CMOS technology. Results: This chip includes a compensation technique to ensure stability and zero systematic input-offset-voltage. The fabricated chip achieves a 84 dB … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptotic Distribution of Coefficients of Skewness and KurtosisNarges AbbasiProblem statement: In literature, a classic method which has been used to recognize the distribution so far is the measurement of its skewedness and kurtosis. However, there remains a question: how would these measurements work for skewed normal distribution when the size of the sample is large? Approach: This research aimed to determine the asymptotic distribution of skewedness and kurtosis … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractError Resistant Real-Time Transport Control ProtocolS. Shahbazi, K. Jumari, M. IsmailProblem statement: Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) protocol has been the subject of various criticisms due its problematic performance in large-scale networks. S-RTCP is a protocol with high potential as it has proved to be able to solve many problems of RTCP. It has numerous flaws on its own. This study aimed at dealing with flaws of S-RTCP and improving … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,091 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Investigation of an Industrial Robot Arm Control Problem Using Haar Wavelet SeriesS. Nandhakumar, V. Selladurai, S. SekarProblem statement: An error minimization in robot arm dynamics improves operations and performance of production systems. Many contributions have been made in area of robot dynamics since the earliest study more than two decades, but, a number of researchers are still contributing various principles and new techniques for the best use of robots in reality, especially in the field of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,045 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Porcine Mitochondrial Transcription Factor a Gene: Molecular Characterization, Radiation Hybrid Mapping and Genetic Diversity among 12 Pig BreedsTanja Kunej, Xiao-Lin Wu, Jennifer J. Michal et al.Problem statement: Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a nucleus-encoded protein that is a key activator of mitochondrial transcription as well as a major participant in mitochondrial genome replication. Genomic characterization of the porcine TFAM gene is, therefore, necessary to determine its involvement in regulation of fat depots and meat quality traits in pigs. Approach: Genomic DNA sequence was determined … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,874 accessesView PDFCite
