Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolicy Decisions for a Price Dependent Demand Rate Inventory Model with Progressive Payments SchemeMukesh Kumar, Rajat KumarProblem statement: In this proposed research, we developed an inventory model to formulate an optimal ordering policies for supplier who offers progressive permissible delay periods to the retailer to settle his/her account. We assumed that the annual demand rate as a decreasing function of price with constant rate of deterioration and time-varying holding cost. Shortages in inventory are allowed which … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,048 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Lead in Human Teeth by Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption SpectrometryHassan T. AbdulsahibProblem statement: The determination of lead in human teeth at concentration levels of μg/ml is proposed using Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (HG-AAS). To do this, 2% (wv) lanthanum chloride solution was employed as matrix modifying reagent to increase sensitivity and remove matrix interferences. Approach: About 100 μL of sample and 100 μL of 3.0% (m/v) NaBH4 are simultaneously injected … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2011 · 7,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeart Rate Variability Analysis in Different Age and Pathological ConditionsM.E.S. Chelladurai, N. KumaravelProblem statement: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) has been used as a measure of mortality primarily with patients who had undergone cardiac surgery. The analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) demands specific capabilities which are not provided either by parametric or nonparametric conventional estimation methods. The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) adaptively estimates the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) of nonlinear nonstationary signals. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 6,818 accessesView PDFCite

Recently suitable relationship between the oxidation polarizability and the nonlinear optical properties was established for simple oxides glasses. So in this study more attention and investigation is paid to the trend of that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Solar Tracking System by Using Digital Solar Position SensorSingthong PattanasethanonProblem statement: An optimal control on two axes and design for solar tracker which called altitude and azimuth is challenge. Approach: The phototransistor with the shade that blocks the screen was employed as a detector of solar beam radiation. The height of the screen determined the sensitivity operation or period of tracking in this solar tracker. The phototransistor is particularly … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 10,171 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneric Algorithm with Varying Block Sizes to Improve the Capacity of a Wireless Communications NetworksMahmoud AbdellaouiProblem statement: Channel capacity can be an essential parameter for wireless communication to improve the link quality. Until now, the channel capacity has been evaluated by utilizing Shannon capacity theory, but it presented many limitations and restrictions. The objectives of this study were to: (i) Expose, quantify, present and to give a clear and concise exposition of the mathematical principles … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Triggers for Intervention in Aging, Disease and TraumaJoan Smith SonnebornHormesis refers to the ability of a chemical or physical agent to condition the physiological state of an organism to tolerate stress with low doses of otherwise harmful agents. Evolutionary evidence shows that the survival and longevity of species hinge on their optimal ability to resist stress challenge. Hormesis is a potent strategy to stimulate latent repair processes to tolerate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Probit and Logistic Regression Models in the Analysis of Dichotomous OutcomesAmrutha Jose, Mariyamma Philip, Lavanya Tumkur Prasanna, M. ManjulaProbit and logistic regression models are members of the family of generalized linear models, used for estimating the functional relationship between the dichotomous dependent and independent variables. The current study is designed to find the performance of logistic and probit regression models in different conditions under multivariate normality. The objective of the study is to compare the performance of probit … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2020 · 17,036 accessesView PDFCite
