Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Evolutionary Fitness of Bounded Rationality: Heterogeneous Populations in Antagonistic InteractionsTassos PatokosConventional game theory assumes hyper-rational players, while evolutionary game theory abandons the assumption. This paper studies what happens when agents of both profiles co-exist and get engaged in a series of antagonistic interactions (the Hawk-Dove game). It is shown that if rational agents are perfectly informed as to the type of their opponent, they find it optimal to always be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 1 Dec 2005 · 8,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Diagnosis on Discrete Event SystemsSihem Kechida, Nasr Eddine DebbacheThe modern technology advances to a point where it is possible and extensively desirable to improve reliability and the technical process safety. This is achieved by computer implanted FDI procedures (Fault Detection and Isolation). However, the malfunction of actuators, sensors and of the process components, as well as erroneous actions of human operators can have some disastrous consequences in high … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,889 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Effect of Counterface Materials on Interface Temperature and Friction Coefficient of GFRE Composite Under Dry Sliding ContactN. S.M. El-Tayeb, B. F. Yousif, P. V. BrevernNowadays, there is an increase interest in polymeric composite materials for high-performance in many industrial applications. In other words, the tribo-studies on polymeric materials are growing fast to enhance the polymeric products such as bearings, seals, ring and bushes. The current work presents an attempt to study the correlation between the type of counterface material and frictional heating at the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 7,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChromium (III) Removal and Recovery from Tannery Wastewater by Precipitation ProcessAbass Esmaeili, Alireza Mesdaghi nia, Reza VazirinejadChromium (III) salts are the most widely used chemicals for tanning processes, but 60-70% of total chromium salts reacts with the hides. In the other word, about 30-40% of the chromium amount remains in the solids and liquid wastes (especially spent tanning solutions). Therefore, the removal and recovery of the chromium content of these wastewaters are necessary for environmental protection … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 8,681 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Absorption Coefficients and Thermal Diffusivity of Modulated Doped GaAlAs/GaAs Heterostructure by Photothermal Deflection SpectroscopyS. Aloulou, M. Fathallah, M. Oueslati, A. SfaxiWe report in this study theoretical and experimental studies of photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) for planar doped heterostructures AlGaAs/GaAs. The PDS spectra at T=300K are recorded by varying the wavelength of the excited radiation for different modulation frequencies. They show two different regions related to the fundamental electronic transitions from GaAs and Si doped AlGaAs. The DX levels have been … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation Techniques for Monitoring and Controlling the Performance of the Computer Communication NetworksIbrahiem M.M. El Emary, Adanan I. Al RabiaThis study was concerned with making a comparative study between four types of time series model with the goal of choosing the optimum one to predict the performance of a computer communication network. The investigated four types of time series are: Least Square (LS), Fourier series, Exponential Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and the Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA). Comparative … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow of Dividends under a Constant Force of InterestJuma Kasozi, Jostein PaulsenThis study addresses the issue of maximization of dividends of an insurer whose portfolio is exposed to insurance risk. The insurance risk arises from the classical surplus process commonly known as the Cramér-Lundberg model in the insurance literature. To enhance his financial base, the insurer invests in a risk free asset whose price dynamics are governed by a constant force … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,388 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Quality of Homeland Security and Health Care Systems: The Texas Rangers InitiativeEldo E. Frezza, Maurizio Chiriva-InternatiHealthcare facilities are an essential component of an emergency response system in case of nuclear, biological or chemical attack, but at the present time, are poorly prepared for an incident. Key elements of the healthcare facility response plan include prompt recognition of the incident, staff and facility protection, patient decontamination and triage, medical therapy, and coordination with external emergency response … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybridization of Neural Learning Algorithms Using Evolutionary and Discrete Gradient ApproachesRanadhir Ghosh, John Yearwood, Moumita Ghosh, Adil BagirovIn this study we investigated a hybrid model based on the Discrete Gradient method and an evolutionary strategy for determining the weights in a feed forward artificial neural network. Also we discuss different variants for hybrid models using the Discrete Gradient method and an evolutionary strategy for determining the weights in a feed forward artificial neural network. The Discrete Gradient … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,590 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 · 6,678 accessesView PDFCite
