Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid, Hybrid Flexible and Fully Online Learning through Students' EyesDolapo Adeniji-Neill, Courtney Lee Weida, Anne MungaiHybrid and fully online studies and classrooms are no longer fringe elements of learning or knowledge acquisition; they have become integral part of learning in the 21st century. Like all modes and styles of learning, they depend on continuous research for best practices in order to remain relevant in terms of effectiveness and growth. This study is a collaboration between … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 28 Sep 2018 · 8,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDefining Healthy Intimate Relationships: A Qualitative Pilot Study of Rural Hispanic WomenSandra Annan, Karen Jagiello, Deborah Elkins et al.This study aimed to explore Hispanic women’s views of their relationships with current and previous partners. Researchers conducted interviews with Eight (8) women within a local rural Hispanic community. We interviewed in a semi-structured format using the participants' preferred language either English or Spanish. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and reviewed for accuracy. Data were analyzed using a phenomenological focus. Half … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 24 Aug 2023 · 9,269 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,402 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Design of Experiments and Manuscripts Rejection RateAydin Berenjian, Jason RyanTraditional one-variable-at-a-time method was and still is for some researchers, the general procedure to determine the optimal conditions for a chemical, biochemical or biological mechanism. According to this technique, a large number of experiments should be performed to obtain a high precision in effect assessment and also the interaction among the variables cannot be defined. To overcome the limitations of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 8 Jun 2015 · 7,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign, Development and Numerical Analysis of Honeycomb Core with Variable Crushing StrengthShabnam Sadeghi Esfahlani, Hassan Shirvani, Ayoub Shirvani et al.A honeycomb core with half-circular cut-away sections at the spine (the adjoining cell walls) is designed and developed and numerically tested under axial dynamic load condition. The parametric study is invoked to identify the effect of various circular cut-away dimensions. In one embodiment a half-circular shaped cuts are removed from the top of the cell where the cell is impacted … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2013 · 7,577 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation and Implementation of Quasi Resonant DC-DC ConverterP. Parvathy, N. DevarajanProblem statement: A half-bridge LLC resonant converter with a voltage doubler rectifier has a simple structure and its Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) capability is excellent from zero to full load condition. But conduction loss is more due to high circulating energy thus reducing the system efficiency. Moreover a variable frequency control method makes the control circuits more complicated than those using the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 29 Aug 2012 · 7,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of the Trim and Fill Method in Adjusting for the Publication Bias in Meta-Analysis of Continuous DataNik Ruzni Nik IdrisPublication bias in meta-analysis is a serious issue as it may lead to biased estimates which appear to be precise. A popular method for detecting and adjusting the publication bias is the trim and fill method. This study uses simulated meta-analysis to quantify the effects of publication bias on the overall meta-analysis estimates of continuous data where the absolute mean … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 8 Aug 2012 · 9,441 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReversal of Attitude: The Influence of Counter-Attitudinal InformationPauline Dibbets, Laura Adolphs, Ingeborg Close et al.Problem statement: Research has shown that both positive and negative information can alter a neutral attitude towards an unknown person, with negative information having, in general, a larger impact. Though this positive-negative asymmetry has received considerable attention, it has, to our knowledge, not been tested in more current and powerful social media, such as youtube. Although attitudes are not fixed, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 12 Jun 2012 · 9,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solution for 2D European Option Pricing Using Quarter-Sweep Modified Gauss-Seidel MethodKoh Wei Sin, Jumat Sulaiman, Rasid MailProblem statement: This study presents the numerical solution of two-dimensional European option pricing problem based on Quarter-Sweep Modified Gauss-Seidel (QSMGS) iterative method. In fact, the pricing of European option with two-underlying assets can be governed by two-dimensional Black-Scholes Partial Differential Equation (PDE). Approach: The PDE needs to be discretized by using full-, half- and quarter-sweep second-order Crank-Nicolson schemes to generate … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2012 · 7,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuarter-Sweep Projected Modified Gauss-Seidel Algorithm Applied to Linear Complementarity ProblemW. S. Koh, J. Sulaiman, R. MailProblem statement: Modified Gauss-Seidel (MGS) was developed in order to improve the convergence rate of classical iterative method in solving linear system. In solving linear system iteratively, it takes longer time when many computational points involved. It is known that by applying quarter-sweep iteration scheme, it can decrease the computational operations without altering the accuracy. In this study, we investigated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,403 accessesView PDFCite
