Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHepatitis B Vaccination Coverage Among Iranian Medical Students and Nursing StaffSeddiqe Amini-Ranjbar, Mohammad Esmaeel MotlaghAfter elapsing more than a decade since the beginning of hepatitis B vaccination program in Iran, this study was designed to investigate the level of hepatitis B vaccination coverage in medical students and nursing staff of Kerman teaching hospitals and to explore the main barriers to vaccination. This cross-sectional study was performed on 493 randomly selected medical students and hospital … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,277 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 abstractModerating Effects of IT Applications on IT Capability and Competitive AdvantageLew Sook LingGenerally, this study aims to assist domestic companies to determine appropriate Information Technology (IT) applications to attain Competitive Advantage (CA). Specifically, this study aims to assess enhancement causes by IT applications between IT capability and CA. A new CA model by incorporating IT applications in organizations is then proposed. Pilot study was used to test a set of newly developed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 5 Oct 2017 · 7,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractional Lion Algorithm-An Optimization Algorithm for Data ClusteringSatish Chander, P. Vijaya, Praveen DhyaniClustering divides the data available as bulk into meaningful, useful groups (Clusters) without any prior knowledge about the data. Cluster analysis provides an abstraction from individual data objects to the clusters in which those objects reside. It is a key technique in the data mining and has become an important issue in many fields. This paper presents a novel Fractional … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 12 Aug 2016 · 7,680 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Proton Radius PuzzleG. M. HuberOccasionally,“revolutions” are caused in physics when new measurement techniques becomeavailable and cause us to rethink what we thought we knew. This has recently happenedin the field of proton structure physics, where researchers have had to revisitfundamental assumptions used in their determinations of the proton's meanelectric charge radius. Until 2010, ourknowledge of the proton's electric charge radius came exclusively fromelectron-proton interactions. … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 12 Sep 2015 · 8,330 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContrastive Analysis of Stretched Collocations with Get and Take: Their use and Pedagogical ImplicationsSilvia Molina PlazaThis paper explores the pedagogical implications of contrastive analyses of light verb constructions containing get and take in English and Spanish based on electronic corpora, the British National Corpus (BNC) and the Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual (CREA). The main tenets of collocations from a contrastive perspective-and the points of contact and departure between both languages-are discussed prior to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 8,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Neural Network Based Rotor Capacitive Reactance Control for Energy Efficient Wound Rotor Induction MotorK. Ranjith Kumar, S. Palaniswami, K. Siva KumarProblem statement: The Rotor reactance control by inclusion of external capacitance in the rotor circuit has been in recent research for improving the performances of Wound Rotor Induction Motor (WRIM). The rotor capacitive reactance is adjusted such that for any desired load torque the efficiency of the WRIM is maximized. The rotor external capacitance can be controlled using a dynamic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 26 May 2012 · 7,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreservation of the Environment through Sustainable Agriculture Practices: A Case Study on the Attitude of Crop FarmersJeffrey Lawrence D’Silva, Bahaman Abu Samah, Hayrol Azril Mohamed Shaffril, Norsida ManProblem statement: Undoubtedly agriculture over the years has been a remarkable source of income generator for the rural community to achieve a higher standard of living and to live on par with their urban brethren that are mostly involved in industrialization. The quest for a greater income should, however, not deter farmers from paying attention toward the preservation of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscretized Scheme Examining Convergence and Geometric Ratio Profiles for Control Problem Constrained by Evolution EquationO. OlotuProblem statement: Here, we develop a discretized scheme using only the penalty method without involving the multiplier parameter to examine the convergence and geometric ratio profiles. Approach: This approach reduces computational time arising from less data manipulation. Objectively, we wish to obtain a numerical solution comparing favourably with the analytic solution.. Methodologically, we discretize the given problem, obtain an unconstrained … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 18 May 2011 · 7,374 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFault Detection and Classification in Power Electronic Circuits Using Wavelet Transform and Neural NetworkVenugopal Prasannamoorthy, Nanjundappan DevarajanProblem statement: The identification of faults in any analog circuit is highly required to ensure the reliability of the circuit. Early detection of faults in a circuit can greatly assist in maintenance of the system by avoiding possibly harmful damage borne out of the fault. Approach: A novel method for establishing a fault dictionary using Wavelet transform is presented. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2011 · 8,419 accessesView PDFCite
