Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSERVITIZATION OF SOUTH KOREA ECONOMY: CAUSES FOR SLUGGISHNESS AND POLICY ISSUESBongho Kim, Seok YoonSince the 1960 s, the South Korea economy has achieved a rapid economic growth, whereas from the mid 1990's and beyond, servitization showing the growth of the service section over the nominal GDP has rapidly developed. On the other hand, the service industry productivity declined, even lower than the OECD average. These results continue recently through the deterioration of income … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2014 · 6,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCONSTRUCTION OF GENERAL SUBSUMPTIVE SOLUTIONS OF BOOLEAN EQUATIONS VIA COMPLETE-SUM DERIVATIONAli Muhammad Ali Rushdi, Hussain Mobarak AlbarakatiBoolean-equation solving permeates many diverse areas of modern science. To solve a system of Boolean equations, one usually combines them into an equivalent single Boolean equation {f(X) = 0} whose set of solutions is exactly the same as that of the original system of equations. One of the general classes of solutions for Boolean equations is the subsumptive general solution, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Mar 2014 · 7,109 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWomen Empowerment through Participation in Microcredit Programme: A Case StudyFerdoushi Ahmed, Chamhuri Siwar, Nor Aini Hj. IdrisProblem statement: Although women constitute almost half of the total population of Bangladesh, they are ascribed a lower status than men. Especially, rural women in Bangladesh experience adverse situations in terms of socio-economic inequality and gender disparity. They are the most deprived of the society and majority of them are extremely poor. Microcredit programme contributes to increase empowerment of rural … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 1 Aug 2011 · 7,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew sufficient condition of Discrete-time systems of neural networksManlika Tanusit, Kreangkri RatchagitProblem statement: In this study, we derive a new sufficient condition for asymptotic stability of the zero solution of delay-differential system of neural networks in terms of certain matrix inequalities by using a discrete analog of the new Lyapunov second method. Conclusion/Recommendations: The problem is solved by applying a novel Lyapunov functional and an improved delay-dependent stability criterion is obtained … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Delay-Dependent for Discrete-Time SystemsKreangkri RatchagitProblem statement: This study is concerned with the problem of delay-dependent stability analysis for discrete-time systems with interval-like time-varying delays. Conclusion/Recommendations: The problem is solved by applying a novel Lyapunov functional and an improved delay-dependent stability criterion is obtained in terms of a linear matrix inequality. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,076 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: All of the randomly selected 337 wives who suffered from level of psychological aggression were included in this study. Straus questionnaire (CTS) is the method used to measure psychological aggression. It shows a negative relationship … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGait Optimization of Biped Robot during Double Support Phase by Pure Dynamic SynthesisNima Jamshidi, Mostafa RostamiThis paper deals with dynamic optimization of biped locomotion. The main focus of this research is motion optimization of double support phase. The optimization problem is dealt by using Pontryagins Maximum Principal. For motion optimization of double support phase, the closed kinematic chain has been considered to be opened at appropriate joint and the components of ground reaction forces has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,127 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLimits and Opportunities for Autonomous User Organisations in Denmark and SwedenJørgen AnkerThe Nordic welfare states generally support and facilitate the formation of civil society organisations and they provide relatively good opportunities for participation and interest mediation. The Nordic welfare states are also recognised for their efforts to limit social inequality and for seeking to provide acceptable living conditions even for the most vulnerable and excluded groups. This article focuses on the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,752 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProperties of Absolute Stability in the Presence of Time LagsM. De la Sen, J. L. Malaina, A. Gallego, J. C. SotoThis study is concerned with the properties of absolute stability independent of the delays of time-delay systems, possessing non commensurate internal point delays, for any nonlinearity satisfying a Popov’s- type time positivity inequality. That property holds if an associate delay-free system is absolutely stable and the size of the delayed dynamics is sufficiently small. The results are obtained for nonlinearities … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,569 accessesView PDFCite
