Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMalaysian Service Sectors Adopt FEDI to Boost Exports and ImportsSaravanan MuthaiyahFinancial Electronic Data Interchange (FEDI) refers to making cash payments electronically rather than utilizing any form of traditional payment methods such as physical checks. The merger of two unique systems namely Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has brought about this new technology. The primary objective of this study is to ascertain how FEDI is currently being … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,757 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Outlier Detection in Linear RegressionNethal K. Jajo, Xizhi WuNew methodology of robust outlier detection based on Robustly Studentized Robust Residuals (RSRR) examination is well established in linear regression analysis. Two new robust location estimators of linear regression parameters are developed in simple and multiple cases. Based on these robust estimators we obtain RSRR. We used RSRR to derive a new measure of distance to be used in outlier … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Control of Coffee Using an Electronic Nose SystemNidal F. Shilbayeh, Mahmoud Z. IskandaraniAn electronic nose system for quality control of coffee is designed and tested. The system uses the Figaro TGS800 series sensors with an integrated heating element. The testing of the system is carried out using different types of coffee where it is proved successful in classifying the tested coffees and actual discrimination of ingredients into different classes[10]. Database based software … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallel Iterative Algorithms with Accelerate Convergence for Solving Implicit Difference EquationsQing-Fu Liu, Wei-Jun Zhong, Mancho ManevThis study focuses on the solution of implicit difference equations, which are very difficult to compute in parallel for the diffusion equation. For improving the convergence rates and the properties of gradual-approach convergence of Segment-Classic-Implicit-Iterative (SCII) and Segment-Crank-Nicolson-Iterative (SCNI) algorithms realizing efficient iterative computation in parallel by segmenting grid domains, SCII and SCNI algorithms with accelerated convergence are studied and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 6,799 accessesView PDFCite
