Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing a Hierarchical Weibull model to Predict Failure Strength of Different Glass Edge ProfilesDavid Thomas Kinsella, Johan LindströmThe edge strength of glass is analyzed using a Weibull statistical framework based on 78 data samples from a range of experiments recorded in literature. Based on the analysis, a 45 MPa strength value (computed as the lower bound in a one-sided confidence interval at the 75% level for the 5-percentile in the distribution) could be conservatively used with arrised, … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2020 · 8,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of SLC22A4 Gene Polymorphisms in the Response to Salbutamol in Asthmatic PatientsAlshymaa A. Ahmed, Nora M. Said, Alia A. El Shahaway, Nagwan A. IsmailResponse to Bronchodilators is influenced by many factors including genetics. To evaluate the influence of SLC22A4 gene polymorphisms (rs3792876 and rs2073838) on the response to inhaled salbutamol in asthmatic patients, bronchodilator response was assessed in 180 bronchial asthma patients via measuring changes of the Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) after the administration of inhaled salbutamol and genotyping for … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2019 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerception Study of Environmental Pollution of a Watercourse in Guadalajara City, MexicoMaría Azucena Arellano Avelar, Martha Georgina Orozco Medina, Arturo Figueroa Montaño, Valentina Davydova BelitskayaThe results of an environmental perception study about a contaminated watercourse in Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico are presented. Percept and opinions of residents were collected by direct interview from a random sample of 370 out of 8 900 dwellings and statistical reliability of 95%. Main results highlighted complains about sewage dumping and related displeasing odor (39.3%), as well as the presence … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 13 Jun 2019 · 8,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeast Absolute Deviation Regression and Least Squares for Modeling Retention Indices of Set Compounds Food and Pollutants of the EnvironmentFatiha Mebarki, Khadija Amirat, Salima Ali Mokhnach, Djellol MessadiConsidering the importance of the statistical analysis of regression in modeling based separately on study for Quantitative structure retention indices on Carbowax 20 M (ICw20M) and OV-101 columns (IOV-101) relationships (QSRR) are determined for 114 pyrazines. The detection of influential observations for the standard least squares regression model is a problem which has been extensively studied. Least Absolute Deviation regression … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 5 Jun 2017 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultilevel Mixed Analysis and Mapping on Divorce Problem in UAEFaisal G. KhamisDespite the wealth of research investigating the divorce problem in the developed countries, few and inconsistent studies investigated this problem at emirate-level in developing countries, such as United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Questions are raised whether divorce is changed over time and whether clustering in divorce exists within emirates in UAE. The objectives are to investigate the change in divorce … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2016 · 7,296 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeveloping an Anthropometric Database for Saudi Students and Comparing Saudi Dimensions relative to Turkish and Iranian PeoplesMohamed A.A. MansourThe main objectives are to develop an anthropometric database for Saudi Students and to compare it relative to two other Middle Eastern people. A national anthropometric standard for Saudis does not exist and few studies have focused on the development of Saudis anthropometric data and the comparison of them with other races. The availability of these data is necessary to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 24 Jun 2016 · 10,201 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProportional Hazard Inverse Weibull Distribution and Associated InferenceSuja M. Aboukhamseen, Mohamed E. Ghitany, Ramesh C. GuptaIn this study, we have considered the proportional hazard version of the inverse Weibull distribution. It has been shown that the density and hazard rate functions are unimodal and the mean residual life function is bathtub shaped. For the considered model, many functions of the parameters, such as the mean, variance, coefficient of variation and the critical points of the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2016 · 7,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFresh Water Savings Through the Use of Municipal Effluents in Concrete PavementBenard Chola, Stephanie Luster-Teasley, Manoj K. Jha, Miguel PicornellWastewater reuse presents a promising solution to the growing pressure on the world’s water resources. The use of municipal wastewater effluents for concrete production in the construction industry would result in energy and water savings leading to conservation and sustainability of our water resources.
