Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of Multiple Linear Regression and Nonlinear Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic Techniques in Modelling House PricesSiti Amri, Gurudeo Anand TularamHouse price prediction continues to be important for government agencies insurance companies and real estate industry. This study investigates the performance of house sales price models based on linear and non-linear approaches to study the effects of selected variables. Linear stepwise Multiple Regression (MR) and nonlinear models of Neural Network (NN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy (ANFIS) are developed and compared. The … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Dec 2012 · 8,434 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carriage amongst Healthcare Workers of the Critical Care Units in a Nigerian HospitalA. Fadeyi, B.O. Bolaji, O.O. Oyedepo et al.Problem statement: Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Nosocomial Infection (NI) outbreaks and prevalence among various populations are well reported in literature particularly for developed countries. NI due to MRSA is a known cause of increased hospital stay, cost, morbidity and mortality especially among the critically ill. There is paucity of information on MRSA in developing nations including the carriage by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Analysis of Coagulase Gene Polymorphism in Clinical Isolates of Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Based GenotypingM. Himabindu, D. Sugapriya Muthamilselvan, Dillip Kumar Bishi, Rama S. VermaProblem statement: To investigate coagulase gene variants through Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) amongst clinical isolates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) collected from Chennai based hospitals. Approach: A total of 85 MRSA clinical isolates collected from various clinical sources were studied for the molecular typing purpose. To perform coagulase gene typing, the repeated units encoding hypervariable regions of the Staphylococcus … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,767 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction of Essential Oil from Nigella sativa Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: Study of Antibacterial ActivityNagi A. Alhaj, Mariana N. Shamsudin, Hana F. Zamri, Rasedee AbdullahThe antimicrobial activity of N. sativa essential oil obtained by supercritical fluid extraction by carbon dioxide was investigated against Gram Positive and Gram negative strains, isolated from clinical specimens. Best conditions for Black cumin oil extraction are obtained at 400 bar, 40°C and a solvent flow rate of 25 g min-1. The seed extracts were prepared by supercritical fluid extraction … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Factors for Bacteremia and Predictors of Mortality of Patients with Bloodstream Infection with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureusElcio Bakowski, Sérgio Barsantini Wey, Eduardo Alexandrino Servolo MedeirosThe objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of infection and the risk factors associated to bacteraemia and mortality due to Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). This cohort study, conducted from August 2004 through November 2005, involved 60 consecutively identified patients with bloodstream MRSA infection. The control group included 240 non-infected patients, randomly selected and hospitalized on the day, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,955 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPercentile Double Ranked Set SamplingAmer Ibrahim Al-Omari, Khalifa H. JaberIn this paper, percentile double ranked set sampling (PDRSS) method is suggested for estimating the population mean. The PDRSS method is compared with the simple random sampling (SRS), ranked set sampling (RSS), median ranked set sampling (MRSS) and the extreme ranked set sampling (ERSS) methods. When the underlying distribution is symmetric, it turns out that PDRSS produce unbiased estimators of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultistage Median Ranked Set Sampling for Estimating the Population MedianAbdul Aziz Jemain, Amer Al-Omari, Kamarulzaman IbrahimWe modify RSS to come up with new sampling method, namely, Multistage Median Ranked Set Sampling (MMRSS). The MMRSS was suggested for estimating the population median and to increase the efficiency of the estimator for specific value of the sample size. The MMRSS was compared to the Simple Random Sampling (SRS), Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) and Median Ranked Set Sampling … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,148 accessesView PDFCite
