Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Equivalence Factors of a System with 2 Non-identical Mixed Lifetimes and Delayed TimeAbdelfattah Mustafa, Adel A. El-FaheemProblem statement: In reliability theory and operations research, there are many methods and techniques to improve the performance of a system. The aim of this study is to generalize reliability equivalence technique to apply it to a mixed failure lifetimes system f1 (t), f2 (t) with delayed time. Approach: We shall improve the system by using some reliability techniques: (i) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 29 Jul 2011 · 7,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Equivalence Factors of a System with m Non-Identical Mixed of LifetimesAbdelfattah Mustafa, Adel A. El-FaheemProblem statement: The aim of this study is to generalize reliability equivalence technique to apply it to a system consists of m independent and non-identical lifetimes distributions, with mixed failure lifetimes f1(t),f2(t),…,fm(t). Approach: We shall improve the system by using some reliability techniques: (i) reducing the failure for some lifetimes; (ii) add hot duplication component; (iii) add cold duplication component; … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,302 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Genetic Correlations on Sweet Corn Inbred Lines Using SAS Mixed ModelPedram Kashiani, Ghizan SalehProblem statement: Genetic correlations among traits refer to the extent of relatedness among them due to genetic causes. Estimating genetic correlations for quantitative traits is tedious if done manually. Approach: However, the use of the computer software SAS, applying mixed-model analysis of variance has facilitated many recent studies in evolutionary quantitative genetics. Results: In this two-way statistical model, the variance … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Heterogeneity in Phase II Clinical TrialsChristopher N. Barnes, Shesh N. RaiProblem statement: The common assumption in non-randomized Phase II clinical trials is a homogeneous population with homogeneous response. This assumption is at odds with many trials today; a heterogeneous response due to the existence of subgroups. Approach: In order to examine the effects of heterogeneity on the trial outcome, a systematic platform is developed to quantify the range and classes … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Strongly Coupled Linear Elliptic Systems with Application to Otolith Membrane DistortionI.K. YoussefProblem Statement: In this research, the author discussed the problems associated with the approximation of the mixed derivative terms appearing in strongly coupled linear elliptic systems by the finite difference method over irregular domains. To avoid the appearance of mixed derivative terms the author introduced a reformulation for the system through introducing a new dependent variable which adds one supplementary … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,714 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModels for Mixed Ensemble of Hydrometeors and their Use in Calculating the Total Random Cross Section of a Resolution Volume Filled by Random ScatterersAyman Al-Lawama, Salaheddin Malkawi, Abdullah Al-Odienat, Felix YanovskyFlight safety is of a major concern in aircrafts since the beginning of air traffic. One of the problems threatening the safety is the in-flight icing of the aircraft. This research deals with a problem arises in the context of weather aviation maintenance. Methods of aircraft icing are based on the difference in behavior of the polarization of radar signal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,802 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Colour from Optical Phenomena Caused by Interference with a Thin or Multilayer Film, Photonic Nanocrystals, Light Scattering and Diffraction Grating EffectRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio ApicellaThe paper presents the Ion Plating Plasma Assisted technology that is applied in the area of surface functionalization with the purpose of preserving the structural colour and relics. The interferometric structural colours applied on titanium surfaces were used and tested together with nano-transparent and at the same time achromatic films on the very old ceramic artifact. In order to test … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 13 Aug 2020 · 6,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneral Linear Models in a Missing Outcome Environment of Clinical Trials Incorporating with Splines for Time-Invariant Continuous AdjustmentMinjeong Park, Dejian Lai, Xianglin L. Du et al.Missing data is a common occurrence in longitudinal studies of health care research. Although many studies have shown the potential usefulness of current missing analyses, e.g., (1) Complete Case (CC) analysis; (2) imputation methods such as Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF), multiple imputations, Expectation-Maximization algorithm approach; and (3) methods using all available data such as linear mixed model and generalized … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 18 Aug 2015 · 7,401 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ant-Based Clustering Algorithm with Cluster Analysis TechniquesWafa’a Omar, Amr Badr, Abd El-Fattah HegazyCluster analysis is a data mining technology designed to derive a good understanding of data to solve clustering problems by extracting useful information from a large volume of mixed data elements. Recently, researchers have aimed to derive clustering algorithms from nature’s swarm behaviors. Ant-based clustering is an approach inspired by the natural clustering and sorting behavior of ant colonies. In … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 7 Jun 2013 · 7,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Method for Automatic Speech Recognition Performance Improvement in Real World Noisy EnvironmentUrmila Shrawankar, Vilas ThakareIt is a well known fact that, speech recognition systems perform well when the system is used in conditions similar to the one used to train the acoustic models. However, mismatches degrade the performance. In adverse environment, it is very difficult to predict the category of noise in advance in case of real world environmental noise and difficult to achieve … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 27 Feb 2013 · 7,754 accessesView PDFCite
