Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamical Model for Determining Human Susceptibility to Dengue FeverSurapol Naowarat, Thanon Korkiatsakul, I. Ming TangProblem statement: Mathematical models are a useful tool for understanding and describing the transmission of diseases such as dengue fever, one of the most prevalently emerging diseases common to tropical and subtropical areas throughout South East Asia. By taking into account human susceptibility to disease, the dynamics of a dengue disease model is proposed. Approach: Using standard methods for analyzing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 28 Sep 2011 · 7,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeighted Centroid Modified Simplex and Linear Constrained Response Surface Optimization Methods for the Xbar-R Chart Variable DeterminationPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: Although economic Xbar-R chart designs do guarantee the minimal operating cost, they typically have poor levels of statistical performance measures. The obvious limitation of the economic design is that the Type I error rate seems to be very high for many situations and will cause a large number of false alarms. This situation leads to an investigation of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 7,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControl of the Transmission of Chikungunya Fever Epidemic Through the use of AdulticideS. Naowarat, Walaipun Tawara, I. Ming TangProblem statement: Another newly emerging disease, chikungunya fever, has appeared in various places such as the Island of Réunion, Thailand and other India. To control an epidemic of disease once it has been established, the use of adulticide is proposed. Approach: To simulate the effects of different control measurement, a mathematical model incorporating the specific features of this disease has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Self-Tuning Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Based On Taguchi MethodM. Santhakumar, T. AsokanProblem statement: Conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers exhibit moderately good performance once the PID gains are properly tuned. However, when the dynamic characteristics of the system are time dependent or the operating conditions of the system vary, it is necessary to retune the gains to obtain desired performance. This situation has renewed the interest of researchers and practitioners in PID control. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,855 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApproximation of Iteration Number for Gauss-Seidel Using Redlich-Kister PolynomialM. K. Hasan, J. Sulaiman, S. Ahmad et al.Problem statement: Development of mathematical models based on set of observed data plays a crucial role to describe and predict any phenomena in science, engineering and economics. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of Arithmetic Mean (AM), Geometric Mean (GM) and Explicit Group (EG) iterative methods to solve system of linear equations via estimation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 8,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormalized Model of Stabile Reengineering Information System Functional Elements (Business Processes)Zahi A. Abu SarhanThe process of reengineering the functional elements of management information system must presented as stable, in which all the kernel functional components of the management information system should be saved. Problem statements: There is no formalized models for stabile reengineering for the functional structure (functional elements) for various information systems types, therefore the process of reengineering is not stabile and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,203 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBasic Theoretical Backgrounds of the Engineering Design Procedure of a Drying PlantJamil Sami HaddadProblem statement: This study was made to reduce energy consumption and increase productivity of drying process in many industries, to achieve the required aim, design arithmetic methods and choose the parameters of the drying machine and computing additional factors including characteristics of materials and air flow effect. Approach: The design of these types of dryers did not include the addressed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,490 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solution of Fourth Order Linear Ordinary Differential Equations by Cubic Spline Collocation Tau MethodO.A. Taiwo, O.M. OgunlaranProblem Statement: Many boundary value problems that arise in real life situations defy analytical solution; hence numerical techniques are desirable to find the solution of such equations. New numerical methods which are comparatively better than the existing ones in terms of efficiency, accuracy, stability, convergence and computational cost are always needed. Approach: In this study, we developed and applied three … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of the Calculation and Measurement Techniques of Earth Resistance ValuesN. Mohamad Nor, R. Rajab, K. RamarMuch research has been published in the literature on the mathematical approaches to obtain the most accurate earth resistance and resistivity values. However, the published research only conducted the comparisons among the mathematical/computational techniques and so far none has conducted validation tests of these mathematical/computational methods against the real earth resistance measurement at real field sites. Thus, the main contribution … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Reconstructed Basins Using Pattern Spectrum ProcedureP. RadhakrishnanSeveral classical and Fractal binary shapes, which are akin to geophysical shapes such as basins, lakes, and pore-grain spruce, are analyzed and characterized by employing various mathematical morphological transformations, and methods. By employing rhombus, square and octagon structuring elements, these shapes are decomposed into their skeletal networks and their corresponding skeletal network subsets are dilated to the respective degree by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,932 accessesView PDFCite
