Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEco-Efficient Product Design Using Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) PrinciplesIssac Lim Sing Sheng, Teoh Kok-SooProblem statement: In recent years, much attention has been focused on the eco-efficiency of product development. The majority of environmental decisions are only made in the later stages of product development where not much modification can be done. To produce eco-efficient products, environmental decisions ought to be considered in the early stages of product development. With the demand of developing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 11,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Methodology for Designing Radix-2n Serial-Serial MultipliersAbdurazzag Sulaiman AlmiladiProblem statement: The fast growth and increase in complexity of digital and image processing systems necessitate the migration from ad hoc design methods to methodological ones. Methodologies will certainly ease the trade off selection for those systems and shortens the design time. To increase those gained values and expand the searching space more appropriate methodologies need to be developed. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving the State Assignment Problem Using Stochastic Search Aided with Simulated AnnealingWalid M. AlyProblem statement: Solving the state assignment problem means finding the optimum assignment for each state within a sequential digital circuit. These optimum assignments will result in decreasing the hardware realization cost and increasing the reliability of the digital circuit. Unfortunately, the state assignment problem belongs to the class of nondeterministic polynomial time problems (NP complete) which requires heavy computations. Different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,966 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Logistic Regression to Static Geometric Representation of RatiosAlireza Bahiraie, Noor Akma Ibrahim, A.K.M. Azhar, Ismail Bin MohdProblem statement: Some methodological problems concerning financial ratios such as non-proportionality, non-asymetricity, non-salacity were solved in this study and we presented a complementary technique for empirical analysis of financial ratios and bankruptcy risk. This new method would be a general methodological guideline associated with financial data and bankruptcy risk. Approach: We proposed the use of a new measure of risk, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Seismic Active Earth Pressure Using Curved Failure Surface with Localized StrainHemanta HazarikaProblem statement: Correct evaluation of the earth pressure against retaining structure during earthquake is essential for the safe and economic design of geotechnical structures. Progressive deformation in the backfill and the assumed shape of failure wedge affect the calculated values of seismic earth pressures. However, no research until now is available that considers both of these two factors in an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Predictability of Risk Box Approach by Genetic Programming Method for Bankruptcy PredictionAlireza Bahiraie, Noor Akma bt Ibrahim, A. K.M. AzharProblem statement: Theoretical based data representation is an important tool for model selection and interpretations in bankruptcy analysis since the numerical representation are much less transparent. Some methodological problems concerning financial ratios such as non-proportionality, non-asymetricity, non-scalicity are solved in this study and we presented a complementary technique for empirical analysis of financial ratios and bankruptcy risk. Approach: This study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCodesign Methodology of Real-time Embedded Controllers for Electromechanical SystemsSlim Ben Saoud, Andreas Gerstlauer, Daniel D. GajskiUnder increasing time-to-market pressures in the electric drives industries, the development time of new algorithms and new control systems including their debugging time must be minimized. This requirement can be satisfied only by using a well-defined system-level design methodology and by reducing the migration time between the algorithm development language and the hardware specification language. In this study, we propose … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Outlier Detection in Linear RegressionNethal K. Jajo, Xizhi WuNew methodology of robust outlier detection based on Robustly Studentized Robust Residuals (RSRR) examination is well established in linear regression analysis. Two new robust location estimators of linear regression parameters are developed in simple and multiple cases. Based on these robust estimators we obtain RSRR. We used RSRR to derive a new measure of distance to be used in outlier … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTUDY OF UNDERSTANDING OF CONTRADICTIONS OF COMIC CONTENT BY GRADE SCHOOL STUDENTSTatiana Vasilyevna ArtemyevaAnnotation: Tasks with comic content are especially difficult for the thinking of children, as they have to resolve the contradiction and inconsistence with their expectations. The article provides an analysis of cognitive mechanisms of understanding comic texts; emphasizes the role of dialectic thinking at resolution of problematic and contradictory situations, statement of colliding properties and relations of an object.
