Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA DATA WAREHOUSE DESIGN FOR THE DETECTION OF FRAUD IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN BY USING THE BENFORD’S LAWCornelia Kraus, Raul ValverdeLarge data volumes and the inability to analyse them enables fraudulent activities to go unnoticed in supply chain management processes such as procurement, warehouse management and inventory management. This fraud increases the cost of the supply chain management and a fraud detection mechanism is necessary to reduce the risk of fraud in this business area. This study was carried out … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 7 Jul 2014 · 8,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe "New Settlers": Results of a Bacteriological Survey During the First 6-Months Operation Period of an Internal Medicine Ward in a Tertiary HospitalGad Segal, Adi Brom, Erez RamatiDuring the first six months of operating a new Internal-medicine ward in a tertiary hospital, a prospective survey, tracking both patient and environment bacteriological samples taken, was conducted. The motive behind the study was to establish the pattern in which environmental colonization is transmitted to the hospitalized patients and vice versa, thus defining the nosocomial pathogens that are typical to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2013 · 6,787 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Fuel Properties on Exhaust Emissions during Warm-Up ProcessRosli Abu Bakar, Beny CahyonoProblem statement: Increasing air pollutions the big problem form internal combustion engines. Several attempts have been done to get a cleaner combustion process, one of which is the use of fuel ethanol in gasoline engines. Approach: The addition of ethanol in fuel will be change fuel properties. Results: To know the effect of fuel properties on engine performance and emissions … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2012 · 7,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Equilibration Temperature on In vitro Viability and Subsequent Embryo Development of Vitrified-Warmed Immature Bovine OocytesHajarian Hadi, H. Wahid, O. Abas Mazni et al.Problem statement: Vitrification is replacing conventional slow freezing to cryopreserve gametes and embryos especially for in vitro production of embryo in domestic animal species. However, the results are still not satisfactory. The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of different equilibration temperatures on in vitro viability of immature bovine oocytes after vitrification. Approach: Oocytes were obtained from … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 1 Sep 2010 · 16,120 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCompare Between Two-Unit Cold Standby and Warm Standby Outdoor Electric Power Systems in Changing WeatherG. S. Mokaddis, M. Salah EL-Sherbeny, Entesar Al-EsayehProblem statement: This study presents the reliability analysis of two mathematical models representing electric power systems operating in fluctuating outdoor weather (i.e., normal and stormy weather) and compared between two models. Approach: Model I deals the reliability analysis of a single-server two-unit cold standby, Model II deals the reliability analysis of a single-server two-unit warm standby, for two systems with … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStochastic Behavior of a Two-Unit Warm Standby System with Two Types of Repairmen and Patience TimeG. S. Mokaddis, M. Salah EL-Sherbeny, Y. Mahmoud AyidProblem statement: In this study we investigated the probabilistic analysis of a two-unit warm standby system with constant failure rate and two types of repairmen and patience time. The first repairman, usually called regular repairman, always remained with the repair facility, with the known fact that he might not be able to do some complex repairs within some tolerable (patience) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,755 accessesView PDFCite
