Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Alternative Scaling Factor In Broyden's Class Methods for Unconstrained OptimizationMuhammad Fauzi bin Embong, Mustafa bin Mamat, Mohd Rivaie, Ismail bin MohdProblem statement: In order to calculate step size, a suitable line search method can be employed. As the step size usually not exact, the error is unavoidable, thus radically affect quasi-Newton method by as little as 0.1 percent of the step size error. Approach: A suitable scaling factor has to be introduced to overcome this inferiority. Self-scaling Variable Metric algorithms … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2010 · 7,692 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of the Essential Oils of Four Sudanese Accessions of Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) Against Anopheles Mosquito LarvaeAzhari H. Nour, Salah A. Elhussein, Nour A. Osman et al.Problem statement: Certain basil essential oils were claimed to have a larvicidal activity towards mosquito's larvae. To test this claim the essential oils of four accessions of basil grown in Sudan were selected and tested for Anopheles larvae. Malaria is the major health problem in the Sudan and the whole country is now considered endemic, with varying degrees, about 35,000 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 8,825 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing of Trichoderma viride Cultivation in Submerged State FermentationHayyan Ismaeil Al-Taweil, Mohammad Bin Osman, Aidil Abdul Hamid, Wan Mohtar Wan YussofProblems statement: A study in Malaysia had shown a strain of Trichoderma viride was isolated from the soil. Questions were raised whether Trichoderma viride submerged state fermentation affected by parameters and which of them is effective? Approach: To investigate the effects of the submerged state fermentation parameters; concentrations of carbon g L-1; (10, 45 and 80), glucose, nitrogen g L-1; … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 10,076 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach to Load Flow Analysis for Radial Distribution System - Application for Medium Voltage Distribution System in MoroccoSaad Ouali, Abdeljabbar CherkaouiThis paper presents a load flow algorithm based on the backward/forward sweep principle, flexible for radial distribution system reconfiguration, with an improvement in ensuring a minimum number of searching for connections between nodes in the calculation sequence in the forward and the backward sweep, by organizing the radial distribution system information into a Main-Line and its derivations. The proposed load … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 29 Jun 2019 · 8,393 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNorm Divergence Opportunity Structure and Utilization of Self-Employed Immigrants' QualificationsShahamak Rezaei, Marco GoliProblem statement: Denmark experienced one of the most successful periods of its economy in 2004-2008, with a tremendous reduction of 77% in unemployment.
