Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Optimization Methods to Determine the Rate Constants of a Complex Chemical Reaction Using FORTRAN and MATLABAbdel-Latif Aboul Seoud, Lamiaa A.M. AbdallahProblem statement: For chemical reactions, the determination of the rate constants is both very difficult and a time consuming process. The aim of this research was to develop computer programs for determining the rate constants for the general form of any complex reaction at a certain temperature. The development of such program can be very helpful in the control of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 8,050 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuadratic Interpolation Algorithm for Minimizing Tabulated FunctionE.A. Youness, S.Z. Hassan, Y.A. El-RewailyProblem statement: The problem of finding the minimum value of objective function, when we know only some values of it, is needed in more practical fields. Quadratic interpolation algorithms are the famous tools deal with this kind of these problems. These algorithms interested with the polynomial space in which the objective function is approximated. Approach: In this study we approximated … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Architectural Outer Shape and Function of Buildings: Behaviour Study on Building Constructed in ChinaISSA. A.M. Al-Kahtani, Suhaib Yahya Kasim Al-DarziThe present study attempted to investigate the behaviour of some projects designed and constructed in China during the last decades from an architectural view point and their compatibility with respect to the relationship between the outer shape and function of the building. The study includes different groups of architectural works including; Culture architecture, Education architecture, Office architecture and Hotel architecture … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPublicly Funded Education and Human Capital in the Presence of a Convex-Concave Education FunctionBinh Tran-Nam, Công Nghê TruongThis study investigates an aggregative optimal growth model in which short-lived individuals obtain their labour skill through education. The process of human capital formation is described by an increasing, convex-concave education function relating the success rate to the educational expenditure per student. The cost of education is publicly funded by an income tax imposed on adult workers. Despite the apparent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 7 Dec 2005 · 7,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamics of Infected Snails and Mated Schistosoma Worms within the Human HostG. Besigye-Bafaki, L. S. LuboobiMale and female worms are independently distributed within a human host each with a Poisson probability distribution mass function. Mating takes place immediately when partners are available. It was found that the mated worm function is non-linear near the origin and becomes almost linear as the worms increase. They increase with increase in the worm load due to aggregation of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Extract Region of Interest in High-Resolution Palmprint using 2D Image Histogram Entropy FunctionInass Shahadha Hussein, Shamsul Bin Sahibuddin, Md Jan Nordin, Nilam Nur AmirThe segmentation of high-resolution palmprint is has been challenged and the research in this filed is still limited because of variations in location and distortion of these images. To achieve superior recognition result, accurate segmentation of a region of interest is very crucial. Therefore, in this paper, a novel palmprint extraction method has been presented using a 2D image histogram … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 8 May 2019 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegister-Specific Collocational Constructions in English and Spanish: A Usage-Based ApproachGloria Corpas PastorConstructions are usage-based, conventionalised pairings of form and function within a cline of complexity and schematisation. Most research within Construction Grammar has focused on the monolingual description of schematic constructions: Mainly in English, but to a lesser extent in other languages as well. By contrast, very little constructional analyses have been carried out across languages. In this study we will … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 13 Jul 2015 · 9,711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdeology, Decision Planning and Operational Scenarios and Features in Cross Docking ModelsWan Nor Ashikin Wan Ahmad Fatthi, Adibah Shuib, Rosma Mohd Dom, Ainon Mardhiyyah ShahidinCross docking warehousing has become an important logistics strategy in the supply chain management for many distributions industries. The idea of cross docking is to eliminate the storage and order picking function in the warehouse while still allowing it to serve its receiving and shipping function. In the current literature, many cross docking models have been proposed and these models … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 8 Jan 2015 · 7,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Pollutant Diesel Fuels on Neurobehavioral Performance among Workers in Locomotive DepotAnuar Ithnin, Radiah Abu Hasan Shaari, Mazrura Sahani et al.Problem statement: Diesel fuel contains various combinations of hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, n-hexane, benzene and toluene which can cause health problems in major exposure of that pollutant in locomotive depots. Studies were conducted to evaluate the exposure towards diesel fuel pollutant and the effect on neurobehavioral performances among workers in locomotive depots. Approach: Method used was questionnaire form and neurobehavioral … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
