Research NotesOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Governance of Low-Carbon Transitions in a Multilevel Perspective Framework: How Does the Concept of ‘System Transformation’ Work?Liying LiThe energy studies on low carbon transition provide valuable insights into the characteristics of socio-technological transitions and the driving factors of appropriate policy intervention. Transition studies have adopted the multilevel perspective framework to inform policymaking and to assess policies for sustainable transitions. Policymakers face challenges in trying to reconcile innovation and sustainability policy objectives. How can the concept of “system … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 28 Dec 2020 · 7,321 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNumerical 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 · 7,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsQuarter-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 · 7,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of the Activity of Plant Extracts in Boer GoatsM. Worku, R. Franco, J. H. MillerProblem statement: The effect of extracts from Neem (Azadirachta indica), Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) with added copper sulfate, on female Boer goats infected with gastrointestinal parasites (GIN) was evaluated. Approach: Following initial screening for infection, animals were artificially infected with a mix containing approximately 80% Haemonchus contortus and 20% Trichostrongylus spp. After 21 days, fecal samples were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 21 Dec 2009 · 8,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPerformance Evaluation of a QoS-Aware Mechanism for Polling-Based High-Speed Network InterfacesSalman Al-Qahtani, Tarek Helmy, Khaled SalahThe explosive growth of the high-speed multimedia networks and the widespread use of web-based related applications place new demands on the network servers. The network end systems such as PC-Router, network server and host connected to high speed links must satisfy QoS requirements for multimedia traffics such as delay and loss ratio. Most works on operating systems support for high-speed … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,565 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSimulation Analysis on Proportional Integral and Derivative Control of Closed Loop DC Motor Drive with Bipolar Voltage SwitchingP. Karpagavalli, A. Ebenezer JeyakumarThis study presents the performance of a new four quadrant single phase DC drive closed loop system controlled by proportional integral and derivative controller with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) full bridge DC-DC converter using bipolar voltage switching. The proposed method is found to be more efficient in improving the step response characteristics such as reducing the settling time, rise time, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 29 Jun 2013 · 6,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMethodical Tuning of Proportional Plus Integral Controllers for Cascade Control of Separately Excited DC MotorsIbrahim Al-AbbasThe cascade control of DC motors by PI controllers was extensively used in industry. Approximation rules based on plotting the output of the system or on computer simulation were used to determine the parameters of these controllers. This study was done to develop mathematical expressions to calculate the parameters of these controllers. Output time functions of the system and there … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 12 Sep 2012 · 7,008 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntioxidant and Photosynthetic Responses in Plants Under Boron Toxicity: A ReviewLucia Guidi, Alberto Pardossi, Elena Degl’Innocenti, Marco LandiBoron (B) is a micronutrient that has long been known essential not only for plants and animals. Otherwise, in crop plants the range of B concentration from essentiality to toxicity appears extremely narrow. Although B deficiency has been well investigated, during recent years many researchers have also investigated boron toxicity effects, making progress in the comprehension of boron transport within … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 5 Jul 2012 · 12,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsResearch on the Decision Model for Self-Production and Outsourcing Choices under Limited Production CapacityYu-Teng Chang, Chih-Yao LoProblem statement: In the face of competitive environments with uncertain demands and a trend toward High-Mix, Low-Volume (HMLV) production, self-production or direct outsourcing has troubled decision-makers of enterprise for a long time. In the previous studies, not much has been written about the topic. Approach: Therefore, this study applies the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to investigate the topic through either … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 May 2011 · 7,141 accessesView PDFCite
