Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSCUTMA: Selecting Components for Unit Testing in Mobile ApplicationsJosias Gomes, Isabel K. Villanes, Silvia M. Ascate et al.Context The source code of a mobile application has several components (i.e., code units) and they have a cost (e.g., test creation and execution) and benefit (e.g., find bug) value for performing unit testing. Problem Choosing in which components unit tests should be done, in order to increase the benefit (effectiveness) and decrease the cost of this activity. Proposal This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 10 · 15 Oct 2020 · 7,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Temperature Dependency of Laminated Glass Subjected to Blast Load – A Numerical StudyMatthias FörchThe behavior of laminated glass has strong time-temperature dependency. Viscoelastic material models are often employed to define mechanical properties of Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB), the most common interlayer for structural glass applications. However, it is an apparent notion to simplify the high complexity of such material models, as only specific software is capable of considering this behavior. Most studies in blast … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2020 · 7,682 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in Dogs and Cats in Selangor, MalaysiaMohamed Abdelrahman Mohamed, Saleha Abd Aziz, Gurmeet Kaur Dhaliwal et al.Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is an emerging coagulase gram-positive staphylococci in dogs and cats. It has now become a threat to animal health due to its multidrug resistance leading to very limited therapeutic options particularly in the treatment of small animals and therefore, requires urgent action to control its spread. The organism is currently recognised as a significant pathogen in veterinary medicine … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2020 · 7,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOrganization Information Ecology and E-Commerce Adoption: Effect on Organizational SMEs PerformanceFadi Herzallah, Muriati MukhtarElectronic Commerce (EC) has recently become the subject of interest of many researchers involved in behavioral and technology acceptance. EC was heavily studied in developed countries, but there are only a few narrowly focused studies on EC adoption in developing countries, especially in the context of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Previous researchers have investigated many factors that influence the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 29 Apr 2015 · 6,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOrganizational Factors and Innovativeness of Housing DevelopersAhmed Mohammed Kamaruddeen, Nor’ Aini Yusof, Ilias Said, Abd Hamid Kadir PakirIn examining the influence of a firm’s structure and culture on innovativeness among housing developers in Malaysia, we draw a theoretical perspective to develop hypotheses, that propose the structure and culture of the firm as organizational factors which influence innovativeness. We, therefore, examine the direct relationship between independent variables (firm structure and culture) and the dependent variable (firm innovativeness). While … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 12 Dec 2012 · 7,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Time Series: An Application to Tourism Demand ForecastingMuhammad Hisyam Lee, Maria Elena Nor, Suhartono et al.Problem statement: Forecasting is very important in many types of organizations since predictions of future events must be incorporated into the decision-making process. In the case of tourism demand, better forecast would help directors and investors make operational, tactical and strategic decisions. Besides that, government bodies need accurate tourism demand forecasts to plan required tourism infrastructures, such as accommodation site … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2011 · 8,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Object Oriented Analysis and Design ApproachSunil Kr Pandey, G. P. Singh, Dr. Vineet KansalProblem statement: Object and component technologies, rapidly maturing branches of information technology, have been becoming pervasive elements of systems development, especially the recently popular Internet applications and thus leading to increased complexity and at the same time broader range of applications. Approach: This needs to be understood in order to maximize its benefits and applications with consistent results. However, mainstream … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 9,920 accessesView PDFCite

Various aspects of public procurement are outlined including types and the processes that entail public procurement. This study also highlighted the weaknesses in the manual public procurement processes that are opened to potential abuse and mismanagement resulting in corruption. This study places … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAre There Smaller Leverage Effects in Less-Developed Markets? Evidence from an Oil Exporting CountryMosayeb Phalavani, Parinaz EzzatiProblem statement: This study uses daily data from the Tehran Stock Market (TSM) to illustrate the nature of stock market volatility in an undeveloped and young stock market. Although most studies suggest that a negative shock to stock prices will generate more volatility than a positive shock of equal magnitude but there is no evidence of asymmetric effect in TSM. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhy College or University Students Hate Proofs in Mathematics?Mbaïtiga ZacharieProblem Statement: A proof is a notoriously difficult mathematical concept for students. Empirical studies have shown that students emerge from proof-oriented courses such as high-school geometry, introduction to proof, complex and abstract algebra unable to construct anything beyond very trivial proofs. Furthermore, most university students do not know what constitutes a proof and cannot determine whether a purported proof is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,853 accessesView PDFCite
