Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimal Pareto Solutions of a Dynamic C Chart: An Application of Statistical Process Control on a Semiconductor Devices Manufacturing ProcessToni Lupo, Filippo SgroiThe present paper proposes a novel economic-statistical design procedure of a dynamic c control chart for the Statistical Process Control (SPC) of the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices. Particularly, a non-linear constrained mathematical programming model is formulated and solved by means of the ϵ-constraint method. A numerical application is developed in order to describe the Pareto frontier, that is the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 28 May 2015 · 6,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleU.S. INTRA-STATE GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION IN PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND STATE FISCAL SHORTFALLSWilliam ProvaznikThis study extends on personality literature by examining state level variation of the Big Five Personality traits, per-capita GDP and population on US state budget shortfalls. Through the lens of Wildavsky’s Cultural Theory of Budgeting, this study analyzes state level Big Five personality characteristics and their relationship to budgetary shortfalls.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCHARACTERIZATION OF OIL PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH AND RICE HUSK BIOCHARS AND THEIR POTENTIAL TO ADSORB ARSENIC AND CADMIUMNorazlina Abu Sari, Che Fauziah Ishak, Rosenani Abu BakarBiochar as a new soil amendment has a potential in controlling the fate of trace elements in the soil system. However, the production of biochar from different feedstocks and pyrolysis conditions resulted in variable biochar properties which have an influence on trace elements availability. The experimental works are focused on physical and chemical properties of biochars produced from Empty Fruit … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2014 · 10,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCHARACTERIZATION OF MARKOV-BERNOULLI GEOMETRIC DISTRIBUTION RELATED TO RANDOM SUMSMohamed Gharib, Mahmoud M. Ramadan, Khaled A.H. Al-AjmiThe Markov-Bernoulli geometric distribution is obtained when a generalization, as a Markov process, of the independent Bernoulli sequence of random variables is introduced by considering the success probability changes with respect to the Markov chain. The resulting model is called the Markov- Bernoulli model and it has a wide variety of application fields. In this study, some characterizations are given … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 31 Mar 2014 · 6,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTHE BLENDING EFFECT OF COALITE, COCONUT SHELL CHARCOAL AND GELAM WOOD CHARCOAL ON CALORIFIC VALUENukman, Riman Sipahutar, Irsyadi Yani, Taufik AriefThe aim of this research is to scrutinize the effect of blend solid fuels consisting of coalite, coconut shell charcoal and gelam wood charcoal on calorific value. Coalite is the solid fuels made from coal that is mined from the earth, while coconuts shell charcoal and gelam wood charcoal are processed from natural plants.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFEED FORWARD BACK PROPAGATION NEURAL NETWORK BASED CHARACTER RECOGNITION SYSTEM FOR TAMIL PALM LEAF MANUSCRIPTSJ. Ramya, B. ParvathavarthiniOptical character recognition refers to the process of translating segmented hand-written images or typewritten images into machine editable text. In this study, we propose a Tamil palm leaf manuscripts character recognition system using FFBNN technology. First the palm leaf manuscripts characters are segmented by exploiting the sliding window and adaptive histogram calculation. Afterwards, these segmented characters are assembled and then … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 21 Dec 2013 · 7,160 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGENETIC ALGORITHM AND NEURAL NETWORK FOR OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITIONHendy Yeremia, Niko Adrianus Yuwono, Pius Raymond, Widodo BudihartoComputer system has been able to recognize writing as human brain does. The method mostly used for character recognition is the backpropagation network. Backpropagation network has been known for its accuracy because it allows itself to learn and improving itself thus it can achieve higher accuracy. On the other hand, backpropagation was less to be used because of its time … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 19 Sep 2013 · 7,646 accessesView PDFCite
