Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncertainty and its Impact on the Quality of MeasurementMartin Halaj, Adel Elahdi M. YahyaThe imposition of practice, the current world, the laboratory measurement, calibration should be approved by points of credit to national or international and should be compatible with the requirements specification (ISO 17025) for the adoption of efficient laboratories. Those requirements were included the testing process or scale limits to doubt that mentioned in the measurement certificate, which recognizes the customer … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 4 Jul 2012 · 8,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Forager Bee's Intelligence Inspired Dynamic Queue Scheduling for the Internet TrafficY. Suresh, S. Arumugam, M. A. BhagyaveniProblem statement: In the present evolution of large scale internet communication, per flow control scheme faces scalability issue due to tremendous number of flows. The aggregation based approaches such as differentiated architecture relieve the storage of state of flows in core router. TCP is the dominating protocol that carries majority of the total internet traffic. Recent internet traffic measurement shows … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 22 Feb 2012 · 7,011 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality of Psychology Test Between Likert Scale 5 and 6 PointsRungson ChomeyaProblem statement: The purposes of this research were (1) to study the quality evaluation psychology test Likert's scale 5 and 6 points (attitude test, locus of control test and achievement motive test) focusing on construct validity, discrimination and reliability, (2) to compare the study of quality psychology test between Likert's scale 5 and 6 points and (3) to compare the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2010 · 22,849 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaboratory Scale of Liquid Coal Fuel Combustion Process and Exhaust Gas FormationKartika Kus Hendratna, Osami Nishida, Hirotsugu Fujita, Wataru HaranoProblem statement: Much research of coal has been already undertaken to ascertain the possibilities of coal being used as substitute for heavy fuel oil in the transportation sector. The effects of using coal as transportation fuel to the environment must also be considered. This study will review several aspects of the coal oil combustion process including combustion behavior, flame stability, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 6,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractData Optimization with Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network and Using New Pattern in Decision Tree ComparativelyMurat Kayri, Omay CoklukProblem statement: The aim of the present study is to exemplify the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for parameter prediction. Missing value or unreal approach to some questions in scale is a problem for unbiased findings. To learn a real pattern with ANN provides robust and unbiased parameter estimation. Approach: To this end, data was collected from 906 students … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,200 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmpirical Validation of Daylight Simulation Tool with Physical Model MeasurementYaik-Wah Lim, Mohd. Hamdan Ahmad, Dilshan Remaz OssenProblem statement: In recent years, daylighting simulation tools have been increasingly used by many architects, engineers and researchers to evaluate the day lighting performances of building design. Most of these tools employ CIE sky models for simulation. However, the accuracy and applicability of these tools for tropical sky are doubtable. The aim of this study was to validate the computer … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew (Digital) Technique for Areal Measurements of Stonewall Surface RoughnessMary J. ThornbushThis study revisits a method introduced in the 1990 s that was deployed to measure surface roughness through profiles on rock blocks. Measurements were originally taken directly in the field using a micro-roughness meter or a simple profile gauge. The roughness index was obtained in the "deviograms" method utilizing the standard deviation of differences between 38 adjacent height measurements. The … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Primer on the One-Parameter Rasch ModelRandy McCameyThe Rasch measurement model improves on traditional test construction by creating tests in which the person’s ability is independent of the sample of items used and the norm group used to calibrate the test. This article is an introductory review of the Rasch Model and describes properties of the Item Characteristic Curve (ICC) and discusses the utility of having person … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2015 · 6,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Look at Our Old Attitude ProblemRajvinder SamraAcross the disciplines, attitudes are commonly measured through the use of unidimensional scaling (e.g., Likert scaling). Given that the Likert measurement scale (multiple equivalent items regarding an attitudinal target from which a summated score is produced) and the Likert response format (positive to negative judgements) were developed over 80 years ago, this article questions whether Likert scaling is still optimal … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2014 · 8,052 accessesView PDFCite
