Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFROM DATA MINING AND KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY TO BIG DATA ANALYTICS AND KNOWLEDGE EXTRACTION FOR APPLICATIONS IN SCIENCESubana Shanmuganathan"Data mining" for "knowledge discovery in databases" and associated computational operations first introduced in the mid-1990 s can no longer cope with the analytical issues relating to the so-called "big data". The recent buzzword big data refers to large volumes of diverse, dynamic, complex, longitudinal and/or distributed data generated from instruments, sensors, Internet transactions, email, video, click streams, noisy, structured/unstructured … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 20 Jan 2015 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDOWNHOLE SEISMIC REFRACTION SURVEY OF WEATHERED LAYER CHARACTERISTICS IN ESCRAVOS, NIGERIAOchuko AnomohanranThe problem of datum correction in seismic surveys and the failures associated with civil engineering structures with specific reference to roads and buildings has been attributed to lack of understanding of the soil structure among others. This is why this survey on downhole seismic refraction was conducted from nine borehole locations in Escravos, Nigeria to determine the weathered layer characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Dec 2013 · 7,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPossibility and Evidence-Based Reliability Analysis and Design OptimizationHong-Zhong Huang, Liping He, Yu Liu et al.Engineering design under uncertainty has gained considerable attention in recent years. A great multitude of new design optimization methodologies and reliability analysis approaches are put forth with the aim of accommodating various uncertainties. Uncertainties in practical engineering applications are commonly classified into two categories, i.e., aleatory uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty. Aleatory uncertainty arises because of unpredictable variation in the performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2013 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Between Dispersion and Mean Toassess Healthcare Servicee FficiencyRamalingam ShanmugamMotivation for this research work started while helping a hospital administrator to assess whether patient oriented activity duration, X≥0 is reflecting the service’s efficiency? Higher value of the sample mean duration, X implies lesser productivity in the hospital and more healthcare cost. Likewise, larger value of sample dispersion, sx2 in the service durations is an indicator of lesser reliability and … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2012 · 6,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation of Phenolic Compounds in Creosote Treated Wood Waste by a Composting Microbial Culture Augmented with the Fungus Thermoascus aurantiacusAbdel E. Ghaly, Bopeng Zhang, Deepika DaveProblem statement: Creosote is used as a wood preservative and water proof agent in railway sleepers, utility poles, buildings foundations and fences and garden furniture. It is a mixture of over 300 hydrocarbons which include 75% polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 2-17% phenolic compounds and 10-18% heterocyclic organic compounds. Exposure to creosote may result in several health problems including damage to kidney, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 Aug 2011 · 9,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship Between Blood Fibrinogen Concentration and Pathological Features of Cancer Patients: A 139-case Clinical StudyDa-Yong Lu, Xue-Liang Chen, Min Huang et al.Angiogenesis and coagulation are among the most consistent host responses to the presence of a malignant tissue. Pathological angiogenesis and coagulation are often occurred in patients with solid tumors, especially in the occurrence of neoplasm metastasis and as targets for anti-metastatic drugs such as antiangiogenesis agents, coagulation-mediated agents and anticancer drugs. Since fibrinogen (Fib) is the most abundant and key … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2010 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementing the Current Science and Citizenship Mandates: A Learning Theory Analysis and Set of RecommendationsLisa Erikson, James CarifioProblem statement: The purpose of this research was to use learning theory to analyze the relationships between current views of citizenship, citizenship education, science and science education to develop a reasonably coherent and integrated view and approach to science and citizenship mandates that can be successfully implemented in our schools. Approach: The three models of citizenship education currently competing for … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,779 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegional Development Model for East AzerbaijanHamid R. AlipourProblem statement: Economic development is a process through which scientific-technical production principles change from a traditional status to a modern one. Development is an important event that not only encompasses the government duties, but alters the regional statesmen to be active elements in the development as well. Along the same lines, the present economic trends around the world tend to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBehavior of Stabilized Peat Soils in Unconfined Compression TestsWong Leong Sing, Roslan Hashim, Faisal Haji AliProblem statement: Deep stabilized peat columns were known to be economical at forming foundations to support highway embankments constructed on deep peat land. However, failure in the formation of the columns with adequate strength was often attributed to unsuitable type and insufficient dosage of binder added to the soil. Organic matter in peat was known to impede the cementing process … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLong Cycles in Employment, Inflation and Real Unit Wage Costs, Qualitative Analysis and Quantitative AssessmentPeter Flaschel, Goeran Kauermann, Timo TeuberThis study provided some theoretical foundations for the empirical hypothesis. At first presented two simple prototype models of inflation, stagflation and disinflation. We concluded that there are cycles with a phase length much longer than the ordinary business cycle (in fact approximately five times as long as we saw in the empirical phase plots of the paper) which are not … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 18 Dec 2005 · 8,588 accessesView PDFCite
