Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrototype-Based Sample Selection for Active HashingCheong Hee ParkSeveral hashing-based methods for Approximate Nearest Neighbors (ANN) search in a large data set have been proposed recently. In particular, semi-supervised hashing utilizes semantic similarity given for a small fraction of pairwise data samples and active hashing aims to improve the performance for ANN search by relying on an expert for the labeling of the most informative points. In this … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 2 Nov 2015 · 6,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINTEREST COVERAGE RATIOS (ICRs) AND FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY: APPLICATION TO FIRMS WITH BOVINE DAIRY LIVESTOCKGiuseppe Bonazzi, Mattia IottiAgricultural firms with bovine dairy livestock are characterized by high investments in capital equipment and this is determined by the biological cycle of production, which requires large investments in land, facilities and bovine herd. These large investments require funding from equity capital or debt capital, which generates financial costs. Therefore, it is necessary to assess not only the profitability of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 15 Oct 2014 · 7,652 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATED AND ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ENDOGENOUS AND EXOGENOUS VARIABLES USING FUZZY SEMI-PARAMETRIC SAMPLE SELECTION MODELL. MuhamadSafiih, A. A. Kamil, M. T. Abu OsmanAn important progress within the last decade in the development of the selectivity model approach to overcome the inconsistent results if the distributional assumptions of the errors terms are made this problem is through the use of semi-parametric method. However, the uncertainties and ambiguities exist in the models, particularly the relationship between the endogenous and exogenous variables. A new framework … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 15 Jul 2014 · 6,786 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE ROLE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ON THE GROWTH OF ITALIAN SOCIAL COOPERATIVESFrancesco Agliata, Caterina Ferrone, Danilo TuccilloThe Third Sector in Italy records a slow but constant growth due to the increase of the number of entities but not of their dimension. The difficulties in financial management, generated by a low attraction of debt and equity financial resources and a low level of managerial skills characterized the non profit organizations. Focused on the social cooperatives, the article … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 5 May 2014 · 8,925 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Measure of Monotonicity of two Random VariablesFarida Kachapova, Ilias KachapovProblem statement: When analyzing random variables it was useful to measure the degree of their monotone dependence or compare pairs of random variables with respect to their monotonicity. Existing coefficients measure general or linear dependence of random variables. Developing a measure of monotonicity was useful for practical applications as well as for general theory, since monotonicity was an important type … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 26 May 2012 · 8,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Wall Roughness and Concentration of Clay on Erosion in the Hole Erosion TestKissi Benaissa, Parron Vera Miguel Angel, Rubio Cintas Maria Dolores et al.Problem statement: Internal soil erosion is a real threat for hydraulic infrastructures. In its final stage it develops in piping involving the formation and progression of a continuous void inside the soil between the upstream and downstream sides. The hole erosion test was introduced to characterize kinematics of piping in terms of the time left to rupture. Actual modeling approaches … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,506 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNonparametric Analysis on System Availability: Confidence Bound and Power FunctionJau-Chuan Ke, Yunn-Kuang ChuIn this study we consider the steady-state availability, denoted A, of a system with distribution-free failure and repair time. In particular, we are interested in constructing a lower confidence bound and a testing framework for A. We first show that the natural estimator  of A, defined as the ratio of the failure time sample mean to the sum of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,692 accessesView PDFCite
