Gardner, Donovan A. McGrowderResearch aimed at investigating sexual behavior and assessing intervention to improve sexual and reproductive health among young adults in Jamaica has increased in recent decades. This study was carried out to assess both positive and negative sexual outcomes e.g. sexual activity and sexual satisfaction related to sexual behavior such as multiple partners and the use or non-use of condoms among … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Methods of Neutrosophic Logia to Answer Queries in Relational DatabaseSmita Rajpal, M. N. Doja, Ranjit BiswasIn this study the authors propose a new method of intelligent search called Neutrosophic-search to find the most suitable match for the predicates to answer any imprecise query made by the database users. It is also to be mentioned that the Neutrosophic-search method could be easily incorporated in the existing commercial query languages of DBMS to serve the lay users … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVulnerability and Pollution Risks in the Alluvial Aquifer of Tebessa-MorsottS. Kachi, N. Kherici, N. KachiWe studied the vulnerability and risks of pollution of the alluvial aquifer of Tebessa-Morsott that ranks amongst the major groundwater reservoirs of the region. The method used to asses groundwater vulnerability was the DRASTIC method, based on seven parameters that affect and control the groundwater flow: Depth to groundwater, Impact of the unsaturated zone, net recharge, aquifer media, hydraulic conductivity, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlastic Solid Waste Assessment in the State of Kuwait and Proposed Methods of RecyclingS. Al-Salem, M. Al-SamhanA proper assessment of Solid Plastic Waste (SPW) in Kuwait will provide a greater understanding to the industry of plastic manufacturing and manufacturers as well as direct the strategic future plans proposed into execution. This research show the results obtained after a years survey and study of plastic solid waste in the state of Kuwait and the surrounding region in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,420 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Slope Assessment Systems for Predicting Landslides of Cut Slopes in Granitic and Meta-sediment FormationsSuhaimi Jamaludin, Bujang B.K. Huat, Husaini OmarIn Malaysia, slope assessment systems (SAS) are widely used in assessing the instability of slope or the probability of occurrence and the likely severity of landslides. These SAS can be derived based on either one particular approach or combination of several approaches of landslide assessments and prediction. This study overviews four slope assessment systems (SAS) developed in Malaysia for predicting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Ski Center Services in Greece based on the Multiattribute Measurement Model of AttitudesTheophilos Masmanidis, Chris Vassiliadis, John MylonakisThe scope of this study was to evaluate ski center services in Greece. Our research sample consists of n=1,614 visitors in 11 of the largest ski centers in Greece. The 22-item SERVQUAL standard questionnaire has been used, with each item classified based on five quality-assessment dimensions. In order to assess ski center offered services, the Multiattribute Attitude Measurement Model has … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Dynamic Weight Assignment Approach for Index TermsKamel E. Haouam, Farhi MarirCurrently in the development of Informational Retrieval (IR) systems, a set of keywords represents the semantics of a text document and after assigning weights to the set of keywords, they are used for indexing, searching and retrieval purposes. The current approaches for assigning weights are provided by an IR model that is used by an IR system. The main objective … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Total Productivity PCA Model for Assessment and Improvement of Electrical Manufacturing SystemsAli Azadeh, Farid GhaderiThis study presents a framework for assessment of electrical manufacturing systems based on a total machine productivity approach and multivariate analysis. Furthermore, the total model is developed by Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and validated and verified by Numerical Taxonomy (NT) and non-parametric correlation methods, namely, Spearman correlation experiment and Kendall Tau. To achieve the objectives of this study, a comprehensive … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,275 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallel Iterative Algorithms with Accelerate Convergence for Solving Implicit Difference EquationsQing-Fu Liu, Wei-Jun Zhong, Mancho ManevThis study focuses on the solution of implicit difference equations, which are very difficult to compute in parallel for the diffusion equation. For improving the convergence rates and the properties of gradual-approach convergence of Segment-Classic-Implicit-Iterative (SCII) and Segment-Crank-Nicolson-Iterative (SCNI) algorithms realizing efficient iterative computation in parallel by segmenting grid domains, SCII and SCNI algorithms with accelerated convergence are studied and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 6,801 accessesView PDFCite
