Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNumerical Prediction Model for Temperature Distributions in Concrete at Early AgesWondwosen Ali, Girum UrgessaA finite element-finite difference numerical model is developed for predicting non-uniform temperature development in hydrating concrete with respect to time and space. The results obtained from this model can be used by structural and construction engineers to predict critical thermal stresses induced due to differential temperatures between the core and the surface of the concrete at early ages and between … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 2 Jan 2013 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite

It aims to identify the intra-urban air temperature differences between heritage core zone, new development area and outskirts of the city. Air temperature variations were also analyzed across three different zones; namely the outskirts, the heritage … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,750 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleChord Length Distributions of the HemisphereWilfried GilleThe distribution laws for two types of isotropic uniform random chords of the hemisphere, cap-chords and basic-chords, are investigated separately. From both distribution densities, the chord length distribution density of the whole hemisphere is derived. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,361 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Measure of Monotonicity of two Random VariablesFarida Kachapova, Ilias KachapovProblem statement: When analyzing random variables it was useful to measure the degree of their monotone dependence or compare pairs of random variables with respect to their monotonicity. Existing coefficients measure general or linear dependence of random variables. Developing a measure of monotonicity was useful for practical applications as well as for general theory, since monotonicity was an important type … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 26 May 2012 · 8,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Study on the Effects of Non-Normality on the Performances of Max-DEWMA Versus SS-DEWMA ChartsTeh Sin Yin, Michael Khoo Boon ChongProblem statement: The called the Sum of Squares Double Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (SS-DEWMA) chart which is effective in detecting shifts in the mean and/or variance is compared with the Max-DEWMA (called the maximum double exponentially weighted moving average) chart. The comparison is based on the assumption that the distribution of the quality characteristic of the process is normal or … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2012 · 7,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Test for Two-Sample Repeated Measures Designs: Effect of High-Dimensional DataBoonyarit Choopradit, Samruam ChongcharoenProblem statement: High-dimensional repeated measures data are increasingly encountered in various areas of modern science since classical multivariate statistics, e.g,. Hotelling’s T2, are not well defined in the case of high-dimensional data. Approach: In this study, the test statistics with no specific form of covariance matrix for analyzing high-dimensional two-sample repeated measures designs with common equal covariance are proposed. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2011 · 7,328 accessesView PDFCite
