Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreating a Link between HR Department and Budgeting: What do HR Managers Think?Sibtain Kazmi, SAF Hasnu, Raja Ahmed JamilThis research endeavours to investigate the involvement of the Human Resources (HR) department throughout the budgeting process and the utilization of budgets to further perform HR activities. Study seeks empirical evidence based on the responses elicited from HR department managers in 100 Pakistani companies with a distinct HR department. Results suggest that the HR department has limited involvement in the … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 6 Jun 2015 · 7,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE WIND SPEED EXTRAPOLATION LAWS FOR TWO DIFFERENT ROUGHNESS METEOROLOGICAL SITESDalila Khalfa, Abdelouaheb Benretem, Lazher Herous, Issam MeghlaouiIncreasing knowledge on wind shear models to strengthen their reliability appears as a crucial issue, markedly for energy investors to accurately predict the average wind speed at different turbine hub heights and thus the expected wind energy output. This is particularly helpful during the feasibility study to abate the costs of a wind power project. The extrapolation laws were found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,445 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferences in Soil Physical and Chemical Properties of Rehabilitated and Secondary ForestsM. H. Akbar, O. H. Ahmed, A. S. Jamaluddin et al.Problem statement: The soil properties of tropical rain forest in Southeast Asia have been characterized by several researchers; however empirical data on soil characteristics under rehabilitation program are still limited or even lacking. This research is important to determine the soil physical and chemical properties of a rehabilitated degraded forest land 19 years after planting with various indigenous species in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 12,550 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparing SMarty and PLUS for Variability Identification and Representation at Product-Line UML Class Level: A Controlled Quasi-ExperimentAnderson S. Marcolino, Edson OliveiraJrAlthough variability management is one of the main activities of software product lines, current literature provides almost no empirical evaluations on variability management approaches based on UML. This paper aims at experimentally comparing two approaches and picks SMarty and PLUS as representative examples. Such comparison takes into account their effectiveness of expressing correctly and incorrectly variabilities in UML class diagrams. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 9 Nov 2017 · 7,462 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Analysis of Task Scheduling Algorithms of Virtual Machines in Cloud EnvironmentSaleh Atiewi, Salman Yussof, Mohd EzaneeCloud computing is an interesting and beneficial area in modern distributed computing. It enables millions of users to use the offered services through their own devices or terminals. Cloud computing offers an environment with low cost, ease of use and low power consumption by utilizing server virtualization in its offered services (e.g., Infrastructure as a Service). The pool of Virtual … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 18 Sep 2015 · 7,648 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMOBILE HEALTH AWARENESS IN PRE-DETECTION OF MILD STROKE SYMPTOMSOi-Mean Foong, Jing-Mei Yong, Suziah Sulaiman, Dayang Rohaya Awang RambliStroke contributes to the third leading cause of death in Malaysia and happens to be the prime cause of disability among Malaysian. Lack of awareness and knowledge of stroke among Malaysian have often led to delay in hospital administration and reduced the chances of recovery for stroke patients. The objectives of this research are three-fold: (1) To develop a mobile … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 23 Dec 2014 · 8,479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObservation Modeling for Continuous Predicting Global and Diffuse Solar Radiation on Horizontal SurfaceSomporn Hongkong, Singthong PattanasethanonMathematical modeling for continuous prediction of solar energy is inevitable for energy systems. General, existing models are mostly empirical and data dependent. This article has to present a variable model for predicting global and diffuse solar radiation on the horizontal plane. The model considered in this study has applied Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with two observations. The databases were measured … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 23 May 2013 · 6,799 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCalibration and Simultaneous Monitoring of Soil Water Content and Salinity with Capacitance and Four-electrode ProbesTadaomi Saito, Haruyuki Fujimaki, Mitsuhiro InoueNon-destructive monitoring of soil water content (W) and the electrical conductivity of the soil solution (ECw) has been desired for environmental evaluation and sustainable agriculture. Dielectric probes and four-electrode probes are widely used for the non-destructive determination of W and the soil bulk electrical conductivity (ECb), respectively. Since the output of dielectric probes is affected by soil salinity, the calibration … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow Serious Regional Economic Inequality in Jordan? Evidence from Two National Household SurveysMohammed Issa ShahateetThe objective of this study is to measure and explain the extent of regional economic inequalities in Jordan. To do so, this study uses the raw data of two national household surveys on expenditure and income that covers 5,971 and 11,153 households in 1997 and 2002, respectively. As a check on the empirical results, the study applies four measures of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 7,216 accessesView PDFCite
