Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Assignment Procedure based on Categories' BoundariesGeorge Rigopoulos, John Psarras, Dimitrios Th. AskounisWe presented a procedure for multicriteria assignment problems. Assignment to a category is based on the comparison between an action and categories’s boundaries. Boundary is represented by the least typical action that can be included in the category, and is considered as the category’s inclusion threshold. Comparison is executed considering performance on evaluation criteria and calculation of a fuzzy inclusion … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreep-Fatigue Crack Growth Interaction in Nickel Base Supper AlloyF. DjavanroodiMost engineering components which operate at elevated temperatures are subjected to non-steady loading during service. This paper describes the current fracture mechanics concepts that are employed to predict cracking of Nickel base supper alloy materials at high temperatures under low and high frequency cyclic loading. A model for predicting creep crack growth in terms of C* and the creep uniaxial … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Resource Development Strategies: The Malaysian ScenarioHaslinda Abdullah, Raduan Che Rose, Naresh KumarThe socio-economic development of Malaysia is greatly influenced by human resources activities in both the private and public sectors. But the private sector, particularly the industrial sector is the key player for the country’s economic growth. In acknowledging human resources importance in this sector, the country’s developmental plans developed thrusts that support the development of human resources to become skilled, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,713 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExistence and Uniqueness Conditions for the Maximum Likelihood Solution In Regression Models For Correlated Bernoulli Random VariablesDavid Todem, KyungMann KimWe give sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate in a class of multivariate regression models for correlated Bernoulli random variables. The models use the concept of threshold crossing technique of an underlying multivariate latent variable with univariate components formulated as a linear regression model. However, in place of their Gaussian assumptions, any specified distribution … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,838 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Families of Curves in the Euclidian PlanBelaib Lekhmissi, Bouarroudj Nadra, Hocine El HabibNon-standard analysis techniques are more considered in approaching complex mathematical domains. By using some concepts of non-standard analysis methods such as regionalization method, we deal with a family of curves in an Euclidian plan. The solutions of the algebraic equations representing these curves in a plan have an hyperbolic forms. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,834 accessesView PDFCite
