Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NEW METHOD FOR 3D SHAPE INDEXING AND RETRIEVAL IN LARGE DATABASE BY USING THE LEVEL CUTA. Lakehal, M. Elkhal, K. SatoriIn this study, we propose a new method for indexing and retrieval of 3D models in large databases based on binary images extracted from the 3D object called &#34level cut&#34 LC. These cuts are obtained by the intersection of the set of the plans with the 3D object. A set of equidistant parallel plans generates by the intersection with the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 22 May 2014 · 6,824 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHREE BAYESIAN TEST INDEXES FOR NORMAL DISTRIBUTIONSYohei KawasakiIn clinical trials, data that are consistent with a normal distribution are often regarded as candidates for primary evaluation variables. In such cases, t-tests are frequently used to compare different groups of data. However, the repeated use of t-tests leads to problems with multiplicity. This study proposes three new indexes that are based on (Kawasaki and Miyaoka, 2012; 2013). These … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 24 Apr 2014 · 6,721 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMosaic Masonries to Interpret Diagnostic Test ResultsRamalingam ShanmugamCurrently, assessing superiority of a diagnostic test requires cumbersome calculations and confusing interpretations because of nonlinear Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC). To remedy these difficulties, this article prepares, provides an easier alternate geometric approach. That is, a simple but more effective visual approach with two complementary mosaic masonries are constructed with their properties, superimposed and utilized. First masonry is conditional … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2013 · 6,854 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving the Periodic Maintenance Scheduling Problem via Genetic Algorithm to Balance Workforce Levels and Maintenance CostMohamed Ali Abdel-Fattah MansourProblem statement: In this article we address the multi-objective Periodic Maintenance Scheduling Problem (PMSP) of scheduling a set of cyclic maintenance operations for a given set of machines through a specified planning period to minimize the total variance of workforce levels measured in man-hours and maintenance costs with equal weights. Approach: The article proposed a mixed integer non-linear math programming … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2011 · 8,317 accessesView PDF Cite
