Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtending UML-RT for Control System ModelingQimin Gao, L. J. Brown, L. F. CapretzThere is a growing interest in adopting object technologies for the development of real-time control systems. Several commercial tools, currently available, provide object-oriented modeling and design support for real-time control systems. While these products provide many useful facilities, such as visualization tools and automatic code generation, they are all weak in addressing the central characteristic of real-time control systems design, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Socioeconomic and Demographic Factors on Contraceptive Use and Induced Abortion in TurkeyOzlem Alpu, Gunseli KurtThe aim of the study was to estimate the parameters of the heteroscedastic bivariate Probit model established for the induced abortion and the contraceptive use by using socioeconomic and demographic factors and their effects by eliminating the observed heteroscedasticity. Using a heteroscedastic bivariate Probit model and Turkish Demographic and Health Survey (1998) data on married women aged 15 through 49 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDuration Modeling in Undergraduate Econometrics Curriculum via ExcelIsmail H. GencThe main goal of an Econometrics course is to prepare students for more advanced levels of study and make them able to cope with the empirical problems they are likely to face. In recent years, there has been a tendency to purge merely theoretical topics from the econometric textbooks by including only time honored methods. Survival analysis, however, has so … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of a New Model for Evaluation of Iran Ecological Capabilities in Order to Establish Services and Civil Development ApplicationJ. Nouri, S. A. JoziThis study is aimed to design a new model for service and civil development application in order to be used in evaluation of Iran ecological capability studies. For this purpose in the first step, the frequency of sustainable and unsustainable ecological factors in Iran was known. In the next step, the Delphi method was used which is itself a branch … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMalaysian Service Sectors Adopt FEDI to Boost Exports and ImportsSaravanan MuthaiyahFinancial Electronic Data Interchange (FEDI) refers to making cash payments electronically rather than utilizing any form of traditional payment methods such as physical checks. The merger of two unique systems namely Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has brought about this new technology. The primary objective of this study is to ascertain how FEDI is currently being … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,757 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFurther Improvements in Temperature Calculation During Cooling of Fish PackagesF. A. Ansari, K. A. Abbas, J. Bakar et al.In an earlier study, it was demonstrated that the empirical approach used to calculate the surface film conductance resulted into a higher value compared to those obtained from the other methods available in the literature. During further investigations, surface film conductance values were found to gradually decrease with a fall in temperature. When this non-linear variation was used to develop … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,848 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Instabilities and Stochastic Pulsation at Laser-Plasma Interaction by Beam SmoothingFrederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThe key problem of direct drive laser fusion is the appearance of parametric instabilities, stochastic pulsation, self-focusing (filamentation) and other anomalies. During the long years studies, the empirical and intuitively developed methods for smoothing of the laser beam were rather successful but a transparent understanding of the physics has still to be found. The first theory how the instabilities are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,796 accessesView PDFCite
