Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsReliability of Axially Loaded Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer Confined Reinforced Concrete Circular ColumnsVenkatarman Nagaradjane, Pulipaka Narasimharao Raghunath, Kannan SugunaMonte-Carlo simulation based procedure was applied for assessing the reliability of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) confined reinforced concrete columns. Assessment of reliability provides a quantitative measure of effectiveness of repair. Problem Statement: The procedure presented in the paper could be used for assessing the reliability of reinforced concrete columns before and after the application of FRP wrap, thus helping to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Robust Modification of the Goldfeld-Quandt Test for the Detection of Heteroscedasticity in the Presence of OutliersMd. Sohel Rana, Habshah Midi, A.H.M. Rahmatullah ImonProblem statement: The problem of heteroscedasticity occurs in regression analysis for many practical reasons. It is now evident that the heteroscedastic problem affects both the estimation and test procedure of regression analysis, so it is really important to be able to detect this problem for possible remedy. The existence of a few extreme or unusual observations that we often call … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVirus Dynamics in VivoGuang Wu, Shaomin YanIn this study, we model the interaction among antibody, virus, host cell, immune cell and normal cell as random collisions, because antibody and virus are unlikely to have efficient driving systems. Then we use the model II of waiting times to analyze the collision between antibody and virus with a certain number of normal cells, and use the Monte-Carlo simulation … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPharmacodynamic Comparison of the Carbapenems Against E. coli and Klebsiella spp. Containing Extended spectrum β-lactamasesKathryn J. Eagye, Joseph L. Kuti, David P. NicolauCarbapenems are the treatment of choice for extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). Ertapenem is a new member of the carbapenem class, and is often grouped with imipenem and meropenem as a recommended treatment for ESBLs. However, new in vitro data question ertapenem’s inclusion as a first line treatment for these bacteria, suggesting that ertapenem has a lower likelihood of obtaining appropriate pharmacodynamic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,886 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCanonical Correlation-based Tests for the Agreement of Sensory PanelistsMarcela C Rocha, Eric B Ferreira, Daniel F FerreiraThe reliability of the results of sensory analysis is directly linked to the performance of panel of assessors what, in general, means the ability of judges to identify small differences between products, the replicability of their ratings for the same product and the panel consonance. The panel consonance - usually called unidimensionality - can be understood as the agreement between … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2020 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDynamic Reliability Analysis of Steel Moment Frames Using Monte Carlo TechniqueMajid Mahjoor Lotf AabadiDesigning of structures is the function of operation of them. However, operation of the structures depends on different uncertainties. In practical cases, uncertain parameters are simplified and formulated to certain parameters which are implemented in the designing approach. In this investigation, different structural parameters which bear with uncertainties including loading conditions, strength of materials and geometry of the structural elements … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2019 · 7,681 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLAG SELECTION OF THE AUGMENTED KAPETANIOS-SHIN-SNELL NONLINEAR UNIT ROOT TESTJen-Je Su, Adrian Wai-Kong Cheung, Eduardo RocaWe provide simulation evidence that shed light on several size and power issues in relation to lag selection of the augmented (nonlinear) KSS test. Two lag selection approaches are considered-the Modified AIC (MAIC) approach and a sequential General to Specific (GS) testing approach Either one of these approaches can be used to select the optimal lag based on either the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 4 May 2013 · 7,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOn Studying Spatial Patterns and Association Between these Patterns of Mortality and Prosperity in MalaysiaFaisal G. Khamis, Abdul Aziz Jemain, Kamarulzaman IbrahimIn this study, we examined the geographical distribution (the spatial structure) of mortality and prosperity in Malaysia. In addition we proposed an approach to investigate the association between clustering patterns of mortality and prosperity across different areas of the country. To characterize the geographic pattern of mortality and prosperity, three indicators (infant, neonatal, and stillbirth) were proposed for mortality and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,935 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Use of Real Options Methodology to Pasturelands EvaluationA. Michailidis, F. Chatzitheodoridis, I. Mountousis, K. PapanikolaouThis study demonstrates the utility of the real options approach to pasturelands investment analysis. The main objectives are to discuss the real options theory and show how it can be adopted to model uncertainty and managerial flexibility in pasture management (enlargement plan) and investment. Secondly, we show how to calculate the option values of selected options that may be available … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,763 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstimating the Optimal Farm Size under Uncertainty: an Application of Real Options MethodologyAnastasios Ch. Michailidis, Konstadinos A. MattasFarm structure and optimal farm size have always attracted the interest of research as they constitute some of the intense problems of farm efficiency and farm income. Although several approached have been employed to handle with this problem a real options approach can significantly contribute on this matter. This article provides an empirical example of applying real options approach in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,664 accessesView PDFCite
