Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGreen Building Construction Thermal Isolation Materials (Rockwool)Mahmoud ItewiProblem statement: Building insulation consisting roughly to anything in a structure that is utilizes as insulation for any reason. Thermal insulation in structures is a significant feature to attaining thermal comfort for its tenants. Approach: Insulation decreases unnecessary warmth loss or gain and can reduce the power burdens of heating and cooling structures. It does not automatically having anything to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 9,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Block Method for Direct Numerical Approximation of Second Order Initial Value Problems Using Taylor Series ExpansionsOluwaseun Adeyeye, Zurni OmarIn this article, a hybrid block method is utilized for the numerical approximation of second order Initial Value Problems (IVPs). The rigor of reduction to a system of first order initial value problems is bypassed as the hybrid block method directly solves the second order IVPs. Likewise, the methodology utilized also avoids the cumbersome steps involved in the widely adopted … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2017 · 7,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWheeled Mobile Robot Trajectory Tracking using Sliding Mode ControlAzza El-Sayed Bayoumi IbrahimThis paper introduces and discusses a control strategy for nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots. The models of the robots include the kinematic and dynamic equations of motion. Trajectory tracking control problem of parallel wheeled differential drive mobile robot is considered, where the robot should reach the final position by following a referenced trajectory for different initial conditions. A motion control strategy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2016 · 9,318 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Expansion Iterative Technique for Handling Fractional Differential Equations Using Fractional Power Series SchemeRadwan Abu-Gdairi, Mohammed Al-Smadi, Ghaleb GumahIn this study, we present a new analytical numerical technique for solving a class of time Fractional Differential Equations (FDEs) with variable coefficients based on the generalized Taylor series formula in the Caputo sense. This method provided the solution in the form of a rapidly convergent power series under a multiple fractional differentiability with easily computable components. An efficacious experiment … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 18 Sep 2015 · 7,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR A SIMULTANEOUS OPTIMISATION OF COST-RISK REDUCTION UNDER A JUST-IN-TIME ADAPTIONFaraj El Dabee, Romeo Marian, Yousef AmerJust-In-Time (JIT) as a lean manufacturing approach plays a significant role in minimising costs and performances of products and services supplied to the global marketplace. However, there are many potential risks that cause significant disruptions to all supply chain members. This study proposes a genetic approach for optimising a novel mathematical model for simultaneously minimising the total cost of a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 26 Dec 2014 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA HYBRID FIREFLY ALGORITHM WITH FUZZY-C MEAN ALGORITHM FOR MRI BRAIN SEGMENTATIONMutasem K. AlsmadiImage processing is one of the essential tasks to extract suspicious region and robust features from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A numbers of the segmentation algorithms were developed in order to satisfy and increasing the accuracy of brain tumor detection. In the medical image processing brain image segmentation is considered as a complex and challenging part. Fuzzy c-means is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 10 Sep 2014 · 8,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGRID-IMAGE PASSWORD BASED SCHEME: ENHANCING MEMORABILITY FEATURES OF PASSWORDSObasan Adebola, Norafida Ithnin, Mohd Zalisham JaliPassword authentication has become a widely recognized element of computer security practices where human users are proven or confirmed as legitimate users for access to secure systems. Using this system, every user needs to recall its password correctly before access can be granted to an intended services or applications. Remembering the secure passwords is an everyday problem for users because … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 9 Sep 2014 · 6,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NEW METHOD FOR 3D SHAPE INDEXING AND RETRIEVAL IN LARGE DATABASE BY USING THE LEVEL CUTA. Lakehal, M. Elkhal, K. SatoriIn this study, we propose a new method for indexing and retrieval of 3D models in large databases based on binary images extracted from the 3D object called &#34level cut&#34 LC. These cuts are obtained by the intersection of the set of the plans with the 3D object. A set of equidistant parallel plans generates by the intersection with the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 22 May 2014 · 6,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA MIXTURE DROPOUT MECHANISM IN A LONGITUDINAL STUDY WITH TWO TIME POINTS: A METHADONE STUDYZohreh Toghrayee, Parvin Jalili, Heng Chin Low, Ardavan TaghvaOne of the most important issues that confront statisticians in longitudinal studies is dropouts. A variety of reasons may lead to withdrawal from a study and produce two different missingness mechanisms, namely, missing at random and non-ignorable dropouts. Nevertheless, none of these mechanisms is tenable in most studies. In addition, it may be that not all of dropouts are nonignorable. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 26 Apr 2014 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLENGTH BIASED BETA-PARETO DISTRIBUTION AND ITS STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES WITH APPLICATIONNareerat Nanuwong, Winai BodhisuwanThe concept of length biased distribution can be employed in development of proper models for lifetime data. Its method is adjusting the original probability density function from real data and the expectation of those data. This adjustment can bring about to correct conclusions of models. Therefore, we introduced the Length Biased Beta-Pareto (LBBP) distribution, so-called a new generalized of Pareto … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2014 · 7,237 accessesView PDFCite
