Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProgressive Resistance Training on Elderly HIV+ Patients: Does it Work?Paula Maria Loiola De Souza, Wilson Jacob Filho, José Maria Santarém et al.Elderly people present significant alterations on body composition and physical fitness, compromising their quality of life. Chronic diseases, including HIV/AIDS, worsen this situation by increasing aging effects on body composition and muscle strength. Resistance exercises are prescribed by major health organizations for improving fitness and promoting a shift towards a healthier and more independent aging. In addition, recovering strength and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,746 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating E-learning Programs: An Adaptation of Kirkpatrick's Model to Accommodate E-learning EnvironmentsThair M. HamtiniProblem Statement: Kirkpatrick's model for the evaluation of training programs has been a staple in institutional learning since 1959 and is easily applicable to any training program. Approach: This model, however, was developed for traditional learning environments and has been regarded as antiquated, especially when one took into consideration the fact that institutional learning has increasingly taken on the form … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomating a Festo Manufacturing Machine with an Allen-Bradley PLCPraneel Chand, Joven SepulvedaIndustry equipment such as machinery utilising Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) become outdated and obsolete over time. Support for older machines and controllers becomes limited and they become incompatible with new computer operating systems. In the end, they are no longer used by industry. However, obsolete machines can be refurbished and used for teaching or demonstration purposes. Hence, this study presents … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2021 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredictive Mathematical Modeling and Classification of Retail Sales Orders Using AI Machine Learning TechniquesMohammad Subhi Al-Batah, Mowafaq Salem Alzboon, Hamzeh ZureigatThis study presents a systematic mathematical model known as a low-code approach to classifying retail sales orders by size using AI machine learning techniques within the Orange Data Mining platform. Leveraging a real-world sales dataset sourced from Kaggle, we implemented and evaluated ten classification models, including ensemble learners (AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting), probabilistic classifiers (Naïve Bayes), distance-based methods (kNN), and interpretable … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 10 Mar 2026 · 1,573 accessesView PDFCite
