Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyzing Concept Maps as an Assessment (Evaluation) Tool in Teaching MathematicsAhmet S. OzdemirIn this research concept mapping has been used as a testing instrument. In our country's education system, the relationship between the scores which are given to concept maps and the scores which are given to traditional written exams and multiple choice examinations in teaching mathematics, has been analyzed. Especially the examinations about functions, numbers, exponent numbers, rooted numbers and absolute … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,405 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCash Flow as an Investment Determinant: A Note on Coen's Speed of Adjustment ModelThomas A. AnastasiouInvestment models incorporating liquidity as an investment determinant and experimenting on the two possible roles that liquidity can play in an investment process - that of a direct capital stock determinant and that of a speed of adjustment determinant - should have to make a parallel search of the significance of the liquidity regressor under both assumptions, if a specific … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,108 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 · 6,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Ultimate Ruin Probabilities under Interest ForceJuma Kasozi, Jostein PaulsenThis work addresses the issue of ruin of an insurer whose portfolio is exposed to insurance risk arising from the classical surplus process. Availability of a positive interest rate in the financial world forces the insurer to invest into a risk free asset. We derive a linear Volterra integral equation of the second kind and apply an order four Block-by-block … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Recursive Application of a Support Vector Machine for Protein Spot Detection in 2-Dimensional Gel ElectrophoresisGary D. Boetticher, Hisham Al-Mubaid, Karen Frasier-ScottTwo-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) analysis remains the core of proteomic technology because it is currently the most powerful method to analyze large collections of proteins. Advances in electrophoresis equipment are making this technique more accessible but effective computer assisted protein spot detection remains a very labor-intensive endeavor. Protein spot analysis is still time consuming, requires human intervention and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPharmacodynamic Comparison of the Carbapenems Against E. coli and Klebsiella spp. Containing Extended spectrum β-lactamasesKathryn J. Eagye, Joseph L. Kuti, David P. NicolauCarbapenems are the treatment of choice for extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). Ertapenem is a new member of the carbapenem class, and is often grouped with imipenem and meropenem as a recommended treatment for ESBLs. However, new in vitro data question ertapenem’s inclusion as a first line treatment for these bacteria, suggesting that ertapenem has a lower likelihood of obtaining appropriate pharmacodynamic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,886 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCiprofloxacin Does Not Exert Nephrotoxicity in RatsAsli Baykal, Figen Sarigül, G Süleymanlar et al.Ciprofloxacin, a member of the fluoroquinolone class, is an antibiotic used as a treatment for infections including the Anthrax bacteria. Studies concerning the safety and efficacy of ciprofloxacin have been controversial with respect to nephrotoxicity. Using rats orally treated with ciprofloxacin (400mg/kg/d), the effects of this drug were analyzed measuring several indications of nephrotoxicity: β-NAG, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type I and Dranulysin as Immunological Markers in Congestive Heart FailureSimone de Lima e Silva Deo, Maria Do Carmo Valente De Crasto, Alda Maria Da-Cruz et al.Previous studies have shown that circulating levels of cytokines are increased in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), resulting in myocardial depression. In this work, we have determined serum levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ by ELISA, detected sTNFR-I by dot ELISA, as well as TNFα, IL-6, IL-10 and granulysin mRNA in unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by RT-PCR in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Comparison between Stone Mastic Asphalt and Asphalt Concrete Wearing CourseSalihudin Hassim, Rohimah Khoiriyah Harahap, Ratnasamy Muniandy et al.Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) technology has been introduced to Malaysia since the 1990’s. Since then, several trials had lain projects had been initiated for the purpose of evaluating the mix on local road condition. However, the acceptability of SMA is still quite discouraging among the local road authorities. This setback is probably due to the misconception on the high initial … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
