Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Fatigue and Chronic Ankle Instability on Dynamic Postural ControlSeyed Hossein Hosseinimehr, Hassan Daneshmandi, Ali Asghar NorastehProblem statement: The proprioception information is a prerequisite for balance, body's navigation system and the movement coordinator. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fatigue and chronic ankle instability on dynamic postural control. Approach: Thirty physical education students (14 males, 16 females) in two groups (15 healthy age = 21.78±0.79 years, height = 168.3±5.6 cm and … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of Parallel Subunit for Synthesis Mathematical ModelsIssa M. ShehabatProblem statement: Mathematical modeling of different natural and technical objects and processes is one of the most important directions that needs high performance computing with huge memory. To reduce the computational time and expenses we need to carry out the calculations on specialized subunits. Approach: We described a self-organizing approximation method and introduced a new methodology of structural synthesis of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 6,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFiber Optic Sensors for Transportation Infrastructural Health MonitoringChin Chang, Rahul MehtaProblem statement: Monitoring the health of transportation infrastructures is currently reliant on transportation maintenance teams. Scheduled and periodic inspections on most of the infrastructures are performed by manual and visual operations, which are generally time consuming and costly procedures. The use of the fiber optic sensor technology makes it possible to realize continuous, real time and automatic health monitoring for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,339 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomated Position System Implementation over Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks in 2-Dimension SpaceSoumen Kanrar, Mohammad SirajProblem statement: The real world scenario have changed from the wired connection to wireless connection. Over the years software development has responded to the increasing growth of wireless connectivity in developing network enabled software. The problem arises in the wireless domain due to random packet loss in transport layer and as well as in data link layer for the end … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplying Model Reference Adaptive Controller for Lateral Motion of AircraftAbdelkader Maddi, Abderrezak Guesssoum, Daoued BerkaniProblem statement: This study developed a new application for the output model reference adaptive control of linear continuous systems based on the concepts of hyper-stability. Approach: The main idea is to design a non-linear controller which will ensure the minimal error between the reference model and the plant outputs. Results: Therefore, the synthesis of adaptive control with a model of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Logistic Regression to Static Geometric Representation of RatiosAlireza Bahiraie, Noor Akma Ibrahim, A.K.M. Azhar, Ismail Bin MohdProblem statement: Some methodological problems concerning financial ratios such as non-proportionality, non-asymetricity, non-salacity were solved in this study and we presented a complementary technique for empirical analysis of financial ratios and bankruptcy risk. This new method would be a general methodological guideline associated with financial data and bankruptcy risk. Approach: We proposed the use of a new measure of risk, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo-Versions of Conjugate Gradient-Algorithms Based on Conjugacy Conditions for Unconstrained OptimizationAbbas Y. AL-Bayati, A.J. Salim, Khalel K. AbboProblem statement: (CG) algorithms, which we had investigated in this study, were widely used in optimization, especially for large scale optimization problems, because it did not need the storage of any matrix. The purpose of this construction was to find new CG-algorithms suitable for solving large scale optimization problems. Approach: Based on pure conjugacy condition and quadratic convex function two … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Tumor/Immune Interface: Clinical Evidence of Cancer Immunosurveillance, Immunoediting and ImmunosubversionMatthew S. Block, Svetomir N. MarkovicProblem statement: The interactions of a malignant tumor with the patient’s immune system are dynamic, multiple and bi-directional. Approach: This article reviews the clinical evidence of the interaction of cancer with immunity with emphasis on recent developments highlighting some of the mechanisms of tumor-mediated regulation of immunity. Results: Most of the time, the immune response to a malignancy acts to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 10,095 accessesView PDFCite

AlmahamidProblem statement: The motivation for this study is determining the extent that modification flexibility affects positively the achievement of strategic and operational objectives in the context of Jordanian manufacturing companies. It addresses the relationship between modification flexibility and organizational objectives. Approach: to tackle the problem statement, the positivistic paradigm was adopted and therefore, a cross-sectional survey employing a questionnaire method … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,279 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Analysis for The FGM Thick Cylinders Under Combined Pressure and Temperature LoadingK. Abrinia, H. Naee, F. Sadeghi, F. DjavanroodiAn analytical solution for computing the radial and circumferential stresses in a FGM thick cylindrical vessel under the influence of internal pressure and temperature is presented in this paper. It has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity and thermal coefficient of expansion were varying through thickness of the FGM material according to a power law relationship. Nevertheless the value … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
