Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns with SFRP Using Finite Element MethodJalil Khani, Mohsen Bozorg, Seyed Mehdi ZahraiCurrently, various methods have been used for repairing and retrofitting reinforced concrete columns including Steel Fiber Reinforced Polymer (SFRP) jackets in order to improve load bearing capacity. However, the enclosure mechanism is less known by consideration of the effects of slender columns which needs much more studies. Avoiding the buckling of a slender Reinforced Concrete (RC) column against the compressive … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2018 · 8,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Empirical Study of Efficiency Evaluation with Dynamic Strategy Trajectory Based on DEA Algorithm and BCG Model: A Case Study of Securities IndustryCheng-Shian Lin, Chun-Yueh LinThe U.S. Subprime Mortgage Crisis in 2008 led many financial institutions, including those in the securities industry, to the verge of bankruptcy. As the securities industry has a pivotal position in financial markets, this study aims to use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to discuss the efficiency of the securities industry after the Financial Tsunami. In addition, this paper integrates the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2018 · 8,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Linear Discriminant AnalysisSharipah Soaad Syed Yahaya, Yai-Fung Lim, Hazlina Ali, Zurni OmarLinear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is the most commonly employed method for classification. This method which creates a linear discriminant function yields optimal classification rule between two or more groups under the assumptions of normality and homoscedasticity (equal covariance matrices). However, the calculation of parametric LDA highly relies on the sample mean vectors and pooled sample covariance matrix which are sensitive … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 4 Jan 2017 · 7,649 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Effect of Clinical Nurse Mentors Assigned to Nursing Students upon Level of Satisfaction Regarding Clinical Teaching-Learning ProcessJayalakshmi N., Shobha Naidu, Kevin Christian, Sanopant JoshiMentoring is an important teaching-learning process in undergraduate nursing Curricula. A Quasi experimental one group pretest and post test design was conducted on 30 students of 1st and 2nd Year B.Sc Nursing from Symbiosis College of Nursing, Pune to evaluate the effect of Clinical Nurse Mentors. Non-Probability Random Sampling was used to select the students. The study was undertaken over … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Sep 2016 · 7,327 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Time-Delayed Neural Networks via Rightmost Eigenvalue PositionsSun Yi, Sangseok Yu, Jung H. Kim, Taher M. Abu-LebdehNeural networks have been frequently used in various areas. In the implementation of the networks, time delays and uncertainty are present and known to lead to complex behaviors, which are hard to predict using classical analysis methods. In this study, stability and robust stability of neural networks considering time delays and parametric uncertainty is studied. For stability analysis, the rightmost … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 8,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAttitudes Towards Linkage Mechanism Researh of Agricultural Research and ExtensionAhmad Al-Rimawi, Mohammad Tabieh, Hussein Al-QudahThe aim of this study is to examine how linkages between the actors in the research and extension system in Jordan can be improved to enhance their effectiveness. Likert scales were used as tools for data collection to measure attitudes towards management, organizational and universities linkages using a convenient sample of 121 extension agents and researchers. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2013 · 7,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Efficiency Measurement of Parallel Production Systems: A Non-radial Data Envelopment Analysis ModelAli Ashrafi, Azmi Bin Jaafar, Mohd Rizam Abu Bakar, Lai Soon LeeProblem statement: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric technique for measuring the relative efficiency of a set of production systems or Decision Making Units (DMU) that have multiple inputs and outputs. Sometimes, DMUs have a parallel structure, in which systems composed of parallel units work individually; the sum of their own inputs/outputs is the input/output of the system. For … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 9,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Block-Based Multi-Scale Background Extraction AlgorithmSeyed Hashem Davarpanah, Fatimah Khalid, Maryam GolchinProblem statement: To extract the moving objects, vision-based surveillance systems subtract the current image from a predefined background image. The efficiency of these systems mainly depends on accuracy of the extracted background image. It should be able to adapt to the changes continuously. In addition, especially in real-time applications the time complexity of this adaptation is a critical matter. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 6 Nov 2010 · 7,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTemperature Trends and Distribution in the Arabian PeninsulaMohammad N. ElNesr, Majed M. Abu-Zreig, Abdurrahman A. AlazbaProblem statement: Temperature trend’s investigation is important for proper water resources management and urban planning. This study aims to investigate trends and distribution of temperature in the past thirty years for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), which represents about 86% of the Arabian Peninsula’s area. Approach: The trend in the temperature time series, including the recorded maximum, average and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 9,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecentralized Controller Design for Static Synchronous Compensator Using Robust Quantitative Feedback Theory MethodSeyed Abbas Taher, Reza Hematti, Ali Abdolalipour, Majid NematiThe Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) provides shunt compensation in similar way to the Static VAR Compensator (SVC) but utilizes a voltage source converter rather than capacitors and reactor. In practice systems use simple Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers for control of STATCOM. However, since the PI control parameters were usually tuned based on classical or trial-and-error approaches, they were incapable of obtaining … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,459 accessesView PDFCite
