Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Properties of Corn ResiduesYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiCorn residues (cobs, leaves and stalks) are abundantly available renewable materials that can be used as an energy source in gasification and combustion systems. Proper understanding of the physical properties of these materials is necessary for their use in thermochemical conversion processes. The physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) of corn cobs, leaves and stalks were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 19,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMyocardial Motion Analysis of Echocardiography Images using Optical Flow Radial Direction DistributionSlamet Riyadi, Mohd Marzuki Mustafa, Aini HussainProblem statement: Myocardial motion is important information for physicians in diagnosing cardiac abnormalities. The motion vector of myocardial can be computed using optical flow technique, which then can be further analyzed based on its magnitude and angle. In practice, physicians are not concern about the angle of vector itself, but are more interested on whether a segment is moving to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,637 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTesting the Equality of Growth Curves of Independent Populations with Application on Egypt CaseHanan Girgis, Ramadan Hamed, Magued OsmanProblem statement: Numerous trials have been conducted to compare the body growth curves and hence growth rates relying on smoothing and modeling different growth curves using different parameter values for the same model. This study aimed to construct a test of the equality of two percentile growth curves and of a set of percentile growth curves from two independent populations … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,716 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptotic Distribution of Coefficients of Skewness and KurtosisNarges AbbasiProblem statement: In literature, a classic method which has been used to recognize the distribution so far is the measurement of its skewedness and kurtosis. However, there remains a question: how would these measurements work for skewed normal distribution when the size of the sample is large? Approach: This research aimed to determine the asymptotic distribution of skewedness and kurtosis … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Forecasting Volatility of the Malaysian Stock MarketsAhmed Shamiri, Zaidi IsaProblem statement: One of the main purposes of modeling variance is forecasting, which is crucial in many areas of finance. Despite the burgeoning interest in and evaluation of volatility forecasts, a clear consensus on witch volatility model/or distribution specification to use has not yet been reached. Therefore, the out of-sample forecasting ability should be a natural model selection criterion for … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,906 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Tropospheric Scintillation Intensity on Earth to Space in MalaysiaMandeep Singh Jit Singh, Syed Idris Syed Hassan, Mohd Fadzil Ain et al.This paper presents the results of a study on tropospheric scintillation on satellite link that has been performed at University Sains Malaysia (USM) to obtain statistics of scintillation from the 12.255 GHz Superbird C satellite with an elevation angle of 40.10. The objective of this analysis was to determine whether the long-term scintillation follows the log normal or gamma distribution. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,268 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Monte Carlo Study of Seven Homogeneity of Variance TestsHoward B. Lee, Gary S. Katz, Alberto F. RestoriProblem statement: The decision by SPSS (now PASW) to use the unmodified Levene test to test homogeneity of variance was questioned. It was compared to six other tests. In total, seven homogeneity of variance tests used in Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) were compared on robustness and power using Monte Carlo studies. The homogeneity of variance tests were (1) Levene, (2) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,111 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Methods for Ranking the Severity of Apnea among PatientsNur Zakiah Mohd Saat, Kamarulzaman Ibrahim, Abdul Aziz JemainProblem statement: Studies on apnea patients are often carried out based on data obtained from the sleep study. This data is quite scarce since high cost is required for conducting the study. Bayesian method is particularly suitable for analyzing limited data as it allows for updating of information by combining the current information with the prior belief. Approach: In this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiffusion of Radioactive Materials in the AtmosphereAbdul-Wali Ajlouni, Manal Abdelsalam, Hussam Al-Rabai’ah, Abdullah M.S. AjlouniProblem statement: The dispersion of radioactive materials in the environment related to escaping of noble gases, halogens and aerosols of non-volatile radioactive materials, from the reactor containment during normal operations, or in the event of a sever reactor accident. Approach: radionuclide dispersion in the environment is demonstrated by mathematical tools which are the partial differential equations, mainly the diffusion equation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParametrical Tuning of Twisting GeneratorsAleksei F. Deon, Yulian A. MenyaevGenerators of uniformly distributed random numbers are broadly applied in simulations of stochastic processes that rely on normal and other distributions. In a point of fact, the uniform random numbers are actively used for applications that range from, modeling different phenomena such as theoretical mathematics and technical designing, to evidence-based medicine. This paper proposes a novel approach which consists of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 7 Oct 2016 · 11,841 accessesView PDFCite
