Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDamping of Generator Oscillations Using an Adaptive UPFC-based ControllerD. Nazarpour, S. H. Hosseini, G. B. GharehpetianIn this study a UPFC-based non-linear adaptive controller is proposed and designed to damp generator oscillations. The adaptive controller design is based on determination of control signal using a new linear quadratic pole placement control law and identification of power system parameters with recursive least squares method with adaptive directional forgetting factor. A new model of UPFC has been introduced … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsβ-Spline Estimation in a Semiparametric Regression Model with Nonlinear Time Series ErrorsJinhong You, Gemai Chen, Xian ZhouWe study the estimation problems for a partly linear regression model with a nonlinear time series error structure. The model consists of a parametric linear component for the regression coefficients and a nonparametric nonlinear component. The random errors are unobservable and modeled by a first-order Markov bilinear process. Based on a B-spline series approximation of the nonlinear component function, we … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOn Three-Way Unbalance Nested Analysis of VarianceSmaila S. Sanni, Eugene C. UkaegbuProblem statement: In this study, we give a simple analytically tractable procedure for solving three-way unbalanced nested Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). In many realistic situations, unbalanced design was unavoidable due to natural constraints and missing data. Approach: Here, we present a comprehensive approach for addressing solutions of problems arising from unbalanced nested ANOVA. We consider the F-statistics under the different … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Dec 2011 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTax Exportability in Tourism MarketMohammad Mohebi, Khalid Abdul Rahim, Lee Chin, Khairil Wahidin AwangProblem statement: Tax incidence is a basic topic in public economics as the tourism industry is an increasingly major contributor to government revenue. Generally, government taxation objectives are for the purpose of financing programs that improve people’s lives and economic prosperity, accelerate economic growth and allow for access to sustainable development. In the first view, tax policy decisions by government … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Jun 2011 · 7,683 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsApproximate Maximum Likelihood Commercial Bank Loan Management ModelGodwin Norense Osarumwense AsemotaProblem statement: Loan management is a very complex and yet, a vitally important aspect of any commercial bank operations. The balance sheet position shows the main sources of funds as deposits and shareholders contributions. Approach: In order to operate profitably, remain solvent and consequently grow, a commercial bank needs to properly manage its excess cash to yield returns in the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Sliding Mode Command for a System of Coupled ReservoirsRiadh Gamoudi, Mahmoud Ellouze, Abdelkader MamiThis study consisted to determine a discreet order by sliding method that was applied on a regulation procedure of a formed level by communicating reservoirs. The model that represents the system is determined by parametric identification based on the algorithm of the recursive least square with forgetfulness factor. Problem statement: The purpose is to develop a robust order that assuring … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Approach for Testing Stability of 1-D Recursive Digital Filters Based on Lagrange MultipliersK. R. Santhi, N. Gangatharan, M. PonnavaikkoDigital filters have found their way into many products from every day consumer items such as mobile phones to advanced maritime and military communications and avionics systems. Design of digital filters faces two fundamental problems, their stability and synthesis. Recursive filters have more stability problems than nonrecursive filters. Stability of a filter can be determined by the location of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,489 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing User Satisfaction and System Trust through Gamification in E-Commerce PlatformsMontela Livanto, Viany Utami TjhinThe increasing adoption of gamification in e-commerce platforms has significantly transformed how people use, engage, and develop their trust in digital systems. Despite this, few empirical studies have so far investigated the integration of gamification with the DeLong and McLean IS Success Model to develop theories of user satisfaction and system trust in emerging markets. This study examines the influence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2026 · 1,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Empirical Investigation of the Pollution Haven-Halo Nexus in Eastern and Southern AfricaPaul KauluThis study looks into the relationship between trade and pollution in Eastern and Southern Africa from 1977 to 2016. This timeframe is particularly relevant as it was marked by rising CO₂ emissions despite major climate agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol (1997), Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+, 2007), as well as the Paris Agreement (2015).
