Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSilicone Modeling of the Interior Spaces of Hollow Organs: Use in Dog and Manatee Respiratory Tract and in a Beef HeartCharles J. Grossman, Richard Hamilton, Lisa A. Close-Jacob et al.Problem statement: The mechanism, by which the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) vocalizes, remains unknown because the manatee larynx does not contain true vocal cords. Since sound can be generated when air passes through a narrow respiratory structure we needed to visualize the internal anatomy of manatee respiratory tract to locate any candidate regions for study. Approach: To visualize the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHeat-Modeling of Microwave Assisted Epoxidation of Palm Acid OilN. Saifuddin, L. Wei Zhan, K. Xin NingProblem statement: While microwave chemistry could well be the most convenient, rapid and energy-saving way to initiate a chemical reaction, the issues of thermal versus microwave specific effect remain unaddressed. Approach: A three-dimensional Finite Element Model (FEM) was developed to predict temperature profile during the enzymatic epoxidation of palm acid oil using microwave heating. Three-dimensional partial differential equations are formulated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModeling Tourist Arrivals in Destination Countries: An Application to Australian TourismS. A.H. Shobeiri Nejad, Gurudeo Anand TularamProblem statement: Little study is evident of mathematical modeling regarding tourist arrivals in South East Queensland of Australia. In this study the Bulter conceptual destination life cycle and product life cycle frameworks are used to develop an overall determinant mathematical model of Australian tourist arrivals. The model will be calibrated using real Australian data. A more complex dynamic is also … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMathematical Modeling and Characterization of Thin Film, Narrow Gap Sensor Array Units (SAU)Mahmoud Z. IskandaraniDesign, modeling, testing and analysis multi-gap PbPc sensor array units for the purpose of gas detection are carried out. The tested devices showed reduction in conductance as a function of increasing gap width and reducing film thickness and an increase as a function of temperature up to 160°C. An observed morphological change in the sublimed film is realized at 190°C … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn Silico Analysis of Envelope Dengue Virus-2 and Envelope Dengue Virus-3 Protein as the Backbone of Dengue Virus Tetravalent Vaccine by Using Homology Modeling MethodUsman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Arli Aditya Parikesit, Hendra et al.Problem statement: Dengue fever, which was caused by Dengue virus infection, had became a major public health problem in the tropic and subtropical countries. Dengue virus (DENV) had four serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4), based on their immunogenic in the human body. Preventive measure will be necessary to decrease the prevalence of dengue fever, by developing modern vaccine. Approach: … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 3 Sep 2010 · 9,265 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNumerical Modeling of Flow in a Horizontal Sand FilterRuth Mossad, Hal AralProblem statement: Horizontal sand filters may offer some advantage over vertical sand filters as they could be used for in-line treatment of wastewaters. Horizontal pipelines of tens and if not hundreds of meters length, filled with ordinary sand or permeable reactive media such as activated carbon or natural zeolite or iron filings, may be used to remove impurities from mine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStructural Modeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour for Thai Expressive SpeechSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Appropriate modeling of fundamental Frequency (F0) contour for speech is a key factor to preserve the quality of speech prosody. One successful approach has been conducted for tonal language of Mandarin Chinese. It is based on the assumption that the behavioral characteristics of vocal-fold elongation in vibration could be approximated by those of a simple forced vibrating system. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,050 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModeling of Biological Processes by Using Membrane Computing FormalismRavie Chandren Muniyandi, Abdullah Mohd. ZinProblem statement: Membrane computing has structural resemblance with the cell structure. This characteristic provides the versatility in the modeling of biological processes. Approach: This study was carried to discuss the membrane computing formalism in modeling biological processes by analyzing two examples: Photosynthesis in chloroplast and Sodium-Potassium exchange pump. Results: The modeling of these two examples showed membrane computing formalism has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,717 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModeling and Forecasting Volatility of the Malaysian Stock MarketsAhmed Shamiri, Zaidi IsaProblem statement: One of the main purposes of modeling variance is forecasting, which is crucial in many areas of finance. Despite the burgeoning interest in and evaluation of volatility forecasts, a clear consensus on witch volatility model/or distribution specification to use has not yet been reached. Therefore, the out of-sample forecasting ability should be a natural model selection criterion for … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleApplication of MultiScale Hidden Markov Modeling Wavelet Coefficients to fMRI Activation DetectionFangyuan Nan, Yaonan Wang, Xiaoping MaProblem Statement: The problem of detection of functional magnetic resonance images (fMRIs), that is, to decide active and nonactive regions of human brain from fMRIs is studied in this paper. fMRI research is finding and will find more and more applications in diagnosing and treating brain diseases like depression and schizophrenia. At its initial stage fMRI detection are pixel-wise methods, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,546 accessesView PDFCite
