Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShort-Term and Medium-Term Load Forecasting for Jordan's Power SystemI. Badran, H. El-Zayyat, G. HalasaSeveral electric power companies are now forecasting electric loads based on conventional methods. However, since the relationship between loads and factors influencing these loads is nonlinear, it is difficult to identify its nonlinearity by using conventional methods. Most of papers deal with 24-h-ahead load forecasting or next day peak load forecasting. These methods forecast the demand power by using forecasted … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,081 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHealthcare Driven by Big Data AnalyticsCheryl Ann Alexander, Lidong WangText messages and social network posts are often included in big data and are frequently invaluable sources of health data. When machine learning or data mining is used, it is important to perform an automatic process for integrating all available and related health data. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is one of the machine learning methods flexible in using algorithms to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 28 Sep 2018 · 7,398 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of Explicit Semi-Analytical Numerical Integration Methods for Solving Stiff ODE SystemsE.R. El-Zahar, H.M. Habib, M.M. Rashidi, I.M. El-DesokyIn this study, a comparison among three semi-analytical numerical integration algorithms for solving stiff ODE systems is presented. The algorithms are based on Differential Transform Method (DTM) which are Multiple-Step DTM (MsDTM), Enhanced MsDTM (E-MsDTM) and MsDTM with Padé approximants (MsDTM-P). These methods can be classified as explicit one step semi-analytical numerical integration methods. The error and stability analysis of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 26 Jun 2015 · 6,955 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNonlinear Analysis of RC Box Culverts Resting on a Linear Elastic SoilDaniele Baraldi, Fabio Minghini, Enrico Tezzon, Nerio TulliniIn the analyses presented, the soil-structure interaction is accounted for by means of a FE-BIE approach, in which the structure is modelled with displacement-based beam finite elements, whereas the boundary between structure and substrate is described in terms of surface tractions by means of a boundary integral equation incorporating a suitable Green's function. This mixed formulation ensures full continuity between … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2018 · 12,632 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStudy on the Relationship between International and Domestic Grain Prices in Developing Countries—An Application of Markov-Switching Autoregressive Model—Shuqin Yan, Kolawole Ogundari, Hiroshi Isoda, Shoichi ItoThis study aims at estimating the influence of international grain prices on the domestic grain prices in 24 developing countries using a nonlinear model, Markov-Switching Autoregressive model. The results indicate that international grain prices have a positive influence on domestic grain prices before and during/after the grain price-hikes, while the degree of influence may vary depending upon grains and countries. … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2016 · 7,796 accessesView PDF Cite
