Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleComparative Analysis of Skid Resistance for Different Roadway Surface TreatmentsOsama A. Abaza, Tanay Datta Chowdhury, Mahmoud ArafatPavement skid resistance impacts road functionality and can affect user safety and vehicle operation costs. This study was an investigation of the effect of sealcoats on skid resistance. Seven different sealcoats-fog seal, chip seal, slurry seal, sand seal, high-friction seal, cape seal, and glass seal-were lab and field tested. Laboratory samples were further tested in the field on pavement sections. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2017 · 8,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleComparative Analysis of the Artificial Neural Networks Options Pricing Model Under Constant and Time-Variant VolatilitiesHanningtone Meshack Simiyu, Anthony Gichuhi Waititu, Jane Aduda AkinyiOption pricing using artificial neural networks (ANN) model while relaxing the assumption of constant volatility still remains a challenge. The conventional practice for pure ANN models has been to either model volatility using the very ANN model and have the model output fed as an input to the ANN option pricing model, or to make allowances for a large number … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 20 Jul 2019 · 7,010 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Comparative Analysis of Network Management Protocols in IoT ApplicationsLevi Costa Mota, Edward David Moreno, Admilson Lima Ribeiro, Ricardo J.P.B. SalgueiroThe complexity and growth of new smart objects networks are generating a new demand for the maintenance of these devices, with the need to remotely monitor and control these devices without consuming significant resources. Analyzing the memory and electric power consumption of the protocols used in the management of these networks is a way to highlight the best protocol alternatives … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 27 Sep 2018 · 7,821 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Comparative Analysis on the Physiological Effects of the Physical and Chemical Properties of the Trihalomethanes on Nutrient Levels, Oxidative Stress and Sterol Compositions of Leaf Oils in Solanum Lycopersicum CultivarsBabatunde C. Akande, Olalekan S. Fatoki, James P. Odendaal et al.Trihalomethane group of disinfection by-products was used to evaluate the magnitude of physiological changes induced on nutrient levels, oxidative stress and phytosterol content in two tomato cultivars. The tomato cultivars were grown as potted plants in a greenhouse and exposed to the varying concentrations of trihalomethanes and organochlorines via irrigation water for a period of 30 days. The concentration levels … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 May 2018 · 8,413 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleComparative Analysis of the Complete Chloroplast Genome of the Alloplasmic Sunflower (Helianthus L.) Lines with Various CMS TypesKirill Azarin, Maxim Makarenko, Alexander Usatov et al.The complete chloroplast genomes of sunflower fertile line HA89 and isonuclear CMS lines with four different cytoplasmic backgrounds (PET1, PET2, ANN2 and MAX) were sequenced. A total of 451 polymorphic sites, with including 58 SSRs, 317 SNPs and 76 microindels were revealed between the fertile and CMS cytotypes. Among the alloplasmic male-sterile lines, cpDNA of CMS-MAX had the largest number … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2018 · 9,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleApplication of a Multi Stage Method to Assess the Landscape Alteration Induced by Quarrying Sites: A Comparative AnalysisDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Marco De Agostini, Mario PinzariThe aim of this study is to provide a design tool to forecast the effects that extraction methods and reclamation plans will generate on the land surrounding quarry sites. The method is based on a graphical approach and it consists of three consecutive phases. The first phase focuses on the quarry plant and aims to quantify the extent of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 2 Sep 2016 · 6,960 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Comparative Analysis on the Performance of the Convoluted Exponential Distribution and the Exponential Distribution in Terms of FlexibilityEnahoro Alfred Owoloko, Pelumi Emmanuel Oguntunde, Adebowale Olusola AdejumoIn this article, the convoluted exponential distribution which was derived as the sum of two independent exponentially distributed random variables was compared with the exponential distribution in terms of flexibility when applied to four real data sets. The idea is to verify if the convoluted exponential distribution would perform better than the exponential distribution in modeling real life situations. Some … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2016 · 6,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK IN BIO MEDICAL APPLICATIONSV. Saishanmuga Raja, S. P. RajagopalanIn this study we compare the performance of three evolutionary algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant-Colony Optimization (ACO) which are used to optimize the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Optimization of Neural Networks improves speed of recall and may also improve the efficiency of training. Here we have used the Ant colony optimization, Particle Swarm … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 12 Nov 2013 · 7,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleComparative Analysis of Satellite Image Pre-Processing TechniquesT. Sree Sharmila, K. Ramar, T. SreeRenga RajaSatellite images are corrupted by noise in its acquisition and transmission. The removal of noise from the image by attenuating the high frequency image components, removes some important details as well. In order to retain the useful information and improve the visual appearance, an effective denoising and resolution enhancement techniques are required. In this research, Hybrid Directional Lifting (HDL) technique … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 1 Apr 2013 · 7,308 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Comparative Analysis of the Entropy and Transition Point Approach in Representing Index Terms of Literary TextHayati Abd Rahman, Shahrul Azman NoahProblem statement: Concept hierarchy is a hierarchically organized collection of domain concepts. It is particularly useful in many applications such as information retrieval, document browsing and document classification. Approach: One of the important tasks in construction of concept hierarchy is identification of suitable terms with appropriate size of domain vocabulary. Results: One way of achieving such a size is by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 30 Jun 2011 · 6,676 accessesView PDFCite
