Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Six Sigma Approach by Applying (DMAIC) Model and Forming Work Team in Improving Banks Performance: A Survey Study in Syrian Banks in DamascusMohamad Abdulrahman QutaitBanking systems face many changes and challenges that require the application of new performance management and improvement concepts and an attempt to achieve excellence. Six Sigma is one of the best methodologies that can help in this regard because it can be used to improve the performance of banks and reduce defects in their operations. This study aimed to highlight … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 24 Aug 2018 · 10,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBurn Wound Healing Effect and Hair Growth Promoting Activity of Lawsonia inermis L. and Honey in Oryctolagus cuniculus RabbitsZouhir Djerrou, Imane Mokhbi, Khadidja Saci Hadef et al.This study aimed to assess Lawsonia inermis L. and honey mixture effects on burn wounds and hair growth in rabbits. Nine male Oryctolagus cuniculus local rabbits were allocated randomly in 3 groups. After antisepsis and local anesthesia, four circular burns were created on the animal’s backs. Immediately after burning, the wounds were covered with honey in three rabbits (HON group), … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 23 Apr 2016 · 7,816 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Acceptance Criterion (AAC) Algorithm for Optimization ProblemsAnmar AbuhamdahOptimization methods commonly are designed for solving the optimization problems. Local search algorithms are optimization method, which are good candidate in exploiting the search space. However, most of them need parameter tuning and incapable of escaping from local optima. This work proposes non-parametric Acceptance Criterion (AC) that not relies on user-defined, which motivate to propose an Adaptive Acceptance Criterion (AAC). … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 23 Jul 2015 · 6,971 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOpening Up a ‘Third Space’ To Innovate CurriculaHannelize Jacobs, Cama BrandtProblem statement: Against the background of innovating learner experiences in South African schools and higher learning institutions in the 21st century, it is crucial to determine, in the analogy to the words, ‘what holds a place together’. It is necessary to know how to create that sense of belonging, what the vision and mission are, what is valued and expected, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 17 Jul 2012 · 9,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Flow Systems and Their Response to Climate Change: A Need for a Water-System View ApproachJoel J. Carrillo-Rivera, Antonio CardonaProblem statement: The interest in early hydrogeological studies was the aquifer unit, as it is the physical media that stores and permits groundwater transfers from the recharge zone to the discharge zone, making groundwater available to boreholes for water extraction. Approach: Recently, the aquifer concept has been complemented by the groundwater flow system theory, where groundwater may be defined by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 7 Apr 2012 · 8,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Hybrid Approach for Heterogeneous Radio Access Technology SelectionJ. Preethi, S. PalaniswamiProblem statement: The Next generation wireless networks are heterogeneous in nature where different Radio Access Technologies (RAT) coexists in the same coverage area. The user terminal should be able to pick the best access technology such as Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWAN), the Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS) and the Global System for Mobile Telecommunication … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 2 Mar 2012 · 7,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Cluster Bed-Form Formation Over Uniform SedimentMasoud Karbasi, Mohammad H. Omid, Javad FarhoudiProblem statement: Cluster microforms are a type of small scale bed-form found in the surface layer of some gravel bed rivers. These bed-forms are comprised of discrete, organized groupings of particles that sit above the average elevation of the surrounding bed. As part of the structural organization of the bed, clusters are believed to impact the local dynamics of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,878 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybridization of Neural Learning Algorithms Using Evolutionary and Discrete Gradient ApproachesRanadhir Ghosh, John Yearwood, Moumita Ghosh, Adil BagirovIn this study we investigated a hybrid model based on the Discrete Gradient method and an evolutionary strategy for determining the weights in a feed forward artificial neural network. Also we discuss different variants for hybrid models using the Discrete Gradient method and an evolutionary strategy for determining the weights in a feed forward artificial neural network. The Discrete Gradient … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,590 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Digestibility of Hay Mangrove with Native GrassRani Winardi Wulan Sari, Novirman Jamarun, Suyitman et al.Forage is the main component of feed given to ruminants. Local feed ingredients that can be used are mangroves and native grass. This study used the Randomized Block Design (RBD) experimental method with 4 = four treatments and 5-five replications. The treatments composed of Hay Mangrove Leaves and Native grass as follows: A (60 + 40%), B (50 + 50%), … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2022 · 5,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Control Strategy for Parallel Fan-Powered VAV SystemsNabil Nassif, Iffat Ridwana, Mostafa Tahmasebi, Pejman EbrahimiASHRAE Guideline 36 recommends resetting the Supply Air Temperature (SAT) for Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems to balance fan power, heating and cooling loads and zone reheat requirements. This is achieved by employing a trim and response algorithm in conjunction with using the outside air temperature and readings from zone cooling loops. However, resetting the SAT for the VAV systems … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 6 Jun 2022 · 10,355 accessesView PDFCite
