EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractData Mining in Time Series: Current Study and Future TrendTan Yan, Liudmila Ulanova, Ye Ouyang, Fengyuan XuTime series represent sequences of data points where usually their order is defined by the time when they were recorded. Thus, virtually any sequential recordings can be stored as time series: Stock prices, weather conditions, physical system parameters change, product quality monitoring, etc. This leads to ubiquity of time series in all scientific and practical fields (Esling and Agon, 2012); … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 26 Jan 2015 · 8,756 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE EFFICIENCY OF EMPIRICAL LIKELIHOOD WITH NUISANCE PARAMETERSXing WangIn this study we check the asymptotic efficiency of empirical likelihood in the presence of nuisance parameters combined with augmented moment conditions. We show that in the presence of nuisance parameters, the asymptotic efficiency of the empirical likelihood estimator of the parameter of interest will increase by adding more moment conditions, in the sense of the positive semidefiniteness of the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2014 · 6,791 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeat Spoilage Mechanisms and Preservation Techniques: A Critical ReviewD. Dave, Abdel E. GhalyProblem statement: Extremely perishable meat provides favorable growth condition for various microorganisms. Meat is also very much susceptible to spoilage due to chemical and enzymatic activities. The breakdown of fat, protein and carbohydrates of meat results in the development of off-odors, off-flavor and slim formation which make the meat objectionable for human consumption. It is, therefore, necessary to control meat … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2011 · 54,798 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLead Free Solder Joint Thermal Condition in Semiconductor PackagingM. Najib Harif, Allina Nadzri, Kamaruzaman JusoffProblem statement: Solder joints are responsible for both electrical and mechanical connections. Solder does not have adequate ductility to ensure the repeated relative displacements due to the mismatch between expansion coefficients of the chip carrier and the circuit board. Solder material plays a crucial role to provide the necessary electrical and mechanical interconnections in an electronic assembly. Finding a technique … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,160 accessesView PDF Cite

RoyProblem statement: In this study linear stability of a class of three neuron cellular network with transmission delay had been studied. Approach: The model for the problem was first presented. The problem is then formulated analytically and numerical simulations pertaining to the model are carried out. Results: A necessary and sufficient condition for asymptotic stability of trivial steady state in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,598 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFull Model Wind Tunnel Study on the Xia-Zhang Bridge Under Operation StageAyad Thabit Saeed, Zhang Liang Liang, Yang Zhuan Yun et al.Problem statement: Long-span cable-stayed bridges under service and particular construction conditions are very susceptible to wind action due to their great flexibility, so the aerodynamic stability is becoming a major concern in the design and construction phrases. Cable-stayed bridges may exhibit wind-induced vibration phenomena such as flutter, buffeting and vortex oscillation under wind excitation. The study concentrated on the issues … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,191 accessesView PDF Cite
