Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition-Explicit Distillation Curves of Waste Lubricant Oils and Resourced Crude Oil: A Diagnostic for Re-Refining and EvaluationLisa Starkey Ott, Beverly L. Smith, Thomas J. BrunoProblem statement: We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications include a composition-explicit data channel for each distillate fraction and temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state. The composition-explicit information is achieved with a sampling approach that allows precise qualitative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSummarizing Relational Data Using Semi-Supervised Genetic Algorithm-Based Clustering TechniquesRayner AlfredProblem statement: In solving a classification problem in relational data mining, traditional methods, for example, the C4.5 and its variants, usually require data transformations from datasets stored in multiple tables into a single table. Unfortunately, we may loss some information when we join tables with a high degree of one-to-many association. Therefore, data transformation becomes a tedious trial-and-error work and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKnowledge Representation of Ion-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistor Voltage Response for Potassium Ion Concentration Detection in Mixed Potassium/Ammonium Ion SolutionsWan Fazlida Hanim Abdullah, Mohd Alaudin Mohd Ali, Md Shabiul Islam, Masuri OthmanProblem statement: The Ion-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistor (ISFET) is a metal-oxide field-effect transistor-based sensor that reacts to ionic activity at the electrolye/membrane/gate interface. The ionic sensor faces issue of selectivity from interfering ions that contribute to the sensor electrical response in mixed solutions. Approach: We present the training data collection of ISFET voltage response for the purpose of post-processing stage neural … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,816 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 · 9,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagers Empowering EmployeesJ.D. Tony CarterProblem statement: This article looked at the behavior of organizations as an important factor for empowering employees. This allowed for a greater level of partnering between managers and employees. The more that top management wants an internal commitment from its employees, the more it must involve employees in defining work objectives, specifying how to achieve them and setting stretch targets. … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,532 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of adjusting PH on Stretchability and Meltability to White Brined Nabulsi CheeseAyman Suliman Mazahreh, Jihad M. Quasem, Ali Faleh Al-Shawabkeh, Ibrahim Abdullah AfanehProblem statement: Boiled white brined (Nabulsi cheese) is the mostly consumed in Jordan; this cheese should show meltability and high stretchability in order to fit in the production of high quality Kunafa and other popular local sweets and pastries.The most outstanding characteristic of Nabulsi cheese is the long keeping ability (more than one year) without cooling, since it is preserved … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 3 Apr 2009 · 7,786 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Computer Interaction Approach in Developing Customer Relationship ManagementMohd H.N.M. Nasir, Mustaffa Kamal, Wan A.W. RozaliProblem statement: Many published studies have found that more than 50% of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system implementations have failed due to the failure of system usability and does not fulfilled user expectation. This study presented the issues that contributed to the failures of CRM system and proposed a prototype of CRM system developed using Human Computer Interaction approaches in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,140 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNano TiO2 Deposited on Crude Mineral and the Photoactivity to the Degradation of ChloroformHaiyan Song, Hongfu Jiang, Xingqing Liu, Guangyao MengSupported TiO2 catalysts have increasingly attracted intention in recent years because of their potential application to photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in water and air. In this work, nano TiO2 particles deposited on crude nonmetallic mineral were prepared by a Sol-gel process, the photocatalyst for degradation of chloroform was tested and optimized with respect to TiO2 loading, catalyst dosage and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Indoor CO2 Concentration Using Split Ventilation Systems as an Indicator of COVID-19 TransmissionManuel Batista, Oscar Bulgim, Ericka Matus et al.We measured the indoor CO2 concentration in occupied areas with ventilation systems that recirculate air without an external air supply. The average time required to achieve the highest probability of contagion was also measured based on the number of participants in the group. Three different experimental groups were evaluated: Group One (G1), which included 5 participants; Group Two (G2), with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 23 Aug 2023 · 6,051 accessesView PDFCite
