Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPressure Ulcer Prevention: Optimizing a Temporally Redistributing Support InterfaceJoshua M. Peterson, Colleen P. Healey, G. Jacobus Visser et al.One of the most common complications from long-term wheelchair use or bed rest is pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers have significant morbidity and are associated with high mortality. Prolonged sitting can cause high pressures in the skin and subcutaneous tissue which can lead to local ischemia and breakdown of skin. Rapid relief of pressure prevents ulcer formation. One prevention strategy is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2016 · 7,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGIS Mapping of Basal Stem Rot Disease in Relation to Soil Series Among Oil Palm SmallholdersK. Parthiban, R. Vanitah, K. Jusoff et al.Basal Stem Rot (BSR) is a disease caused by fungus which affect oil palm tree. This study aims to visualize the geographical distribution of BSR incidence among oil palm smallholders in Selangor using Geographical Information System (GIS) and its relationship to the type of soil series. The geographical distribution of BSR incidence of smallholders in Selangor were mapped using 168 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 Jan 2016 · 8,683 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeobody Architecture and Petroleum Potential of the Yowi Field, Offshore Eastern Niger Delta, NigeriaPrince Suka Momta, Minapuye Isaac OdigiA study on geobody architecture and petroleum potential of the Yowi Field has been carried out by integrating well logs and 3D seismic data. The objectives of this study include: The determination of the lateral continuity of key horizons; identification of gross geobody distribution and architecture; and the petroleum potential of the field. Well log correlation shows that key horizons … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2015 · 7,669 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS: HOW TO UNDERSTAND SUCH DIVERSE AND SO ENTANGLED PHYSIOPATHOLOGY?Carlos Henrique Melo Reis, Marco Orsini, Marco Antônio Araujo Leite et al.When in 1865, JeanMartin Charcotreported patients with progressive muscular atrophysuperimposedwith spasticity of inexorable evolution as result of combinedlesions of the anterior horn and lateral column of the spinal cord, hecertainly inaugurated an attempt on the comprehension of one of the mostcomplexes neurological clinical conditions, which until today persists withimmense voids on their comprehension, regardless of the enormous advancesachieved. Astime went … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 16 Feb 2015 · 7,149 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUSE OF COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMIC TO PREDICT AIRFLOW AND TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH AN UNDER FLOOR AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMAbd Alnasser Almate A. Ali, Ahmed Cherif Megri, Paul A. Dellenback, Yao YuOur objective is to demonstrate the use of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) in building applications. In particular, CFD has been used for temperature and airflow predictions of building spaces conditioned using Under Floor Air Distribution (UFAD) System. The space used is an instrumented laboratory room (old daycare center) located at the University of Wyoming. The use of the CFD simulation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 11 Apr 2014 · 8,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGAUSSIAN COPULA MARGINAL REGRESSION FOR MODELING EXTREME DATA WITH APPLICATIONSutikno, Heri Kuswanto, Iis Dewi RatihRegression is commonly used to determine the relationship between the response variable and the predictor variable, where the parameters are estimated by Ordinary Least Square (OLS). This method can be used with an assumption that residuals are normally distributed (0, σ2). However, the assumption of normality of the data is often violated due to extreme observations, which are often found … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 4 Apr 2014 · 7,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShortage Level of Matching Kidney and Pancreas Organs for Implant is EstimatedRamalingam ShanmugamOrgan transplants are increasingly done worldwide. The organ donors might be dead or alive. There are legal, ethical, medical and administrative issues to procure organs and to transplant them. However, the donor’s organs must fully match the recipient’s requirement before they are quickly transported as the time is the essence. The kidney or pancreas organs are more in demand. When … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 1 Nov 2013 · 6,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlzheimer’s Disease Prognosis is Captured by a Down-Upsized Incidence Poisson DistributionRamalingam ShanmugamAlzeimer disease is a daunting nightmare to both the medical and families of the patients. Tireless efforts are made by the medical researchers to treat Alzheimer’s patients. The Alzhiemer patients’ data provides clues about its prognosis and they can be identifies when the data are analyzed and understood correctly. The data analysis is a first step in the path to … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2013 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSMOOTHING SPLINE IN SEMIPARAMETRIC ADDITIVE REGRESSION MODEL WITH BAYESIAN APPROACHRita Diana, I. Nyoman Budiantara, Purhadi, Satwiko DarmestoSemiparametric additive regression model is a combination of parametric and nonparametric regression models. The parametric components are not linear but following a polynomial pattern, while the nonparametric components are unknown pattern and assumed to be contained in the Sobolev space. The nonparametric components can be approximated by smoothing spline functions. In the development of smoothing spline, the classical statistical approach … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 12 Jun 2013 · 7,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIs Poisson Dispersion Diluted or Over-Saturated? An Index is Created to AnswerRamalingam ShanmugamA prelude to interpret a pattern in the repeating incidences is to identify the underlying frequency distribution of the collected data. A case in point is the Poisson distribution which is often selected for medical count data such as gene mutations, medication error and number of ambulatory pickups in a day. A requirement for the Poisson distribution is that the … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 24 May 2013 · 6,614 accessesView PDFCite
