Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of MultiScale Hidden Markov Modeling Wavelet Coefficients to fMRI Activation DetectionFangyuan Nan, Yaonan Wang, Xiaoping MaProblem Statement: The problem of detection of functional magnetic resonance images (fMRIs), that is, to decide active and nonactive regions of human brain from fMRIs is studied in this paper. fMRI research is finding and will find more and more applications in diagnosing and treating brain diseases like depression and schizophrenia. At its initial stage fMRI detection are pixel-wise methods, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Relationships Among the Adoption Parameters of Computers and Internet in Agriculture: An Application of Probit ModelAnastasios MichailidisThe main reason for carrying out this study was to determine possible relationships among several adoption parameters of computer use, internet usage and internet access in agriculture. The key options for determining relationships (apart from non-parametric correlation techniques) are canonical correlation analysis, probit models and logit models. Canonical correlation analysis is generally seen as a weaker statistical technique than probit … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of an Automatic Blast Furnace through Integrated Simulation ModelingAli Azadeh, S. F. GhaderiThe objective of this study was to develop an integrated simulation model of an automatic blast furnace in a full-scale steelmaking factory. The integrated simulation model introduces a set of optimizing alternatives through sensitivity analysis. The simulation model is built by considering all major and detailed operations and interacting systems of the blast furnace workshop. The workshop is composed two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Empirical Study of Efficiency Evaluation with Dynamic Strategy Trajectory Based on DEA Algorithm and BCG Model: A Case Study of Securities IndustryCheng-Shian Lin, Chun-Yueh LinThe U.S. Subprime Mortgage Crisis in 2008 led many financial institutions, including those in the securities industry, to the verge of bankruptcy. As the securities industry has a pivotal position in financial markets, this study aims to use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to discuss the efficiency of the securities industry after the Financial Tsunami. In addition, this paper integrates the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2018 · 8,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating the Effects of Climate Change and Variability on Water Resources: A Case Study of the Cheliff Basin in AlgeriaYamina Elmeddahi, Hacene Mahmoudi, Abderrahmane Issaadi et al.In aim to well understand of the association between climate change, variability and their impact on water resources availability, an analysis was conducted of the trends in rainfall and stream flows across the Cheliff basin in Algeria. Sen’s non-parametric estimator of slope was employed to estimate the extent of tendencies, whose statistical significance was measured by the Mann-Kendall (MK) and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 12 May 2016 · 9,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncertainty Impact of the Effective Diffusion Coefficient on the Concrete Chemical DegradationA. BadaouiReinforced concrete is the construction material widely used in civil engineering. However, knowledge of its long-term performance and the uncertain impact of the environment on his behaviour make it difficult to accurate assessment of the durability of structures with time. When a structure is put into service, it is likely to damage, which origin can be physical, mechanical or chemical. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 7,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOccupational Exposure of Pesticides on Activities of Alanine aminotransferase and γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase in Blood among Vegetables FarmersShamsul Bahari Shamsudin, T. Hang YapProblem statement: Most vegetable farmers are using agricultural chemicals on their farms. Many of these chemicals are used to control pests and are known as pesticides. Pesticides can be considered according to their chemical basis. Most of the more toxic pesticides fall into chemical groups of organophosphates, carbamates and bipyridyls. Approach: The general objective to study the level of liver … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2011 · 7,938 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cycle Duration and Phasing on Thermomechanical Fatigue of Dog-Bone Specimens Made form SteelAchegaf Zineb, Khamlichi Abdellatif, Francisco Mata CabreraProblem statement: Lifetime of standard dog-bone specimens made form steel as affected by phasing between thermal cycles and strains cycles and by cycle duration in thermomechanical fatigue is assessed under various conditions of loading. Approach: The methodology used was based on finite element post-processing analysis by specialized fatigue software package that takes into account coupling of damage from three primary … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2010 · 7,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroelectrical Mechanical Systems Switch for Designing Multi-Band AntennaA.H.M. Zahirul Alam, Md. Rafiqul Islam, Sheroz Khan, Muhammad Mahbubur RashidProblem statement: In this study Microelectrical Mechanical System (MEMS) switches were proposed to design a reconfigurable/multi-band antenna to replaced PIN diode switches or semiconductor switches due to lower insertion losses, good isolation, much lower intermodulation distortion, and lower power consumption. The antenna is able to operate at very high frequencies. Approach: A reconfigurable antenna that is capable to operate at … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 6,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExact Permutation Algorithm for Paired Observations: The Challenge of R. A. FisherJ. I. Odiase, S. M. OgbonmwanThe major handicap of permutation test is the logical and computational requirement necessary to develop and implement the exact permutation scheme. This study provides an algorithm that systematically enumerates all the distinct permutations of the paired observations in an experiment without the possibility of repeating any of the permutations. The permutation algorithm presented completely breaks down the permutation problem for … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,866 accessesView PDFCite
