Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Propensity to Fruit Consumption among Young People through the Cumulative Proportional Odds ModelMaurizio Lanfranchi, Carlo Giannetto, Angela Alibrandi, Agata ZirilliAfter in-depth studies, the World Health Organization (WHO), asserts and suggests that in order to improve human health and well-being it is necessary to eat 400 grams of fruit and vegetables on a daily basis, as well as to consume potatoes and other starchy tubers such as manioc. In Europe, recommendations vary from country to country. Generally, these suggestions are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 4 Sep 2015 · 6,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrologic Modeling to Evaluate the Impact of Hydraulic Fracturing on Stream Low Flows: Challenges and Opportunities for a Simulation StudySuresh Sharma, Aashish Shrestha, Colleen E. McLean, Scott C. MartinHydraulic fracturing (fracking) has been increasing in the eastern part of Ohio for the last few years leading to the increased stress on water resources, particularly on the hydrological low flows. Yet, evaluation of the various impacts of fracking on stream low flows using appropriate tools is still a challenging issue, even though significant progress has been achieved in recent … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 10,419 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Quantitative Pharmacology on Drug DevelopmentAna Ruiz-Garcia, Kourosh ParivarThesuccess of drug development rests over two well defined pillars, a goodunderstanding of the drug’s clinical pharmacology and the appropriate targetpopulation for whom the clinical use is intended. The label for human prescription drugsrequires a good understanding of the pharmacological effects (pharmacodynamicsor PD) and the mechanism of action of the drug as well as detailed informationof the drug’s Pharmacokinetics (PK): … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Apr 2015 · 7,164 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXPLORING USERS' ATTITUDES AND INTENTIONS TOWARD THE ADOPTION OF CLOUD COMPUTING IN SAUDI ARABIA: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATIONMutlaq B. AlotaibiOver the past few years, cloud computing has evolved as one of the major advances in the field of Information Technology (IT) utilizing third-party services. Therefore, trust in cloud vendors as well as the determination of potential risks, such as privacy and security issues, are crucial for ensuring the successful adoption of an appropriate cloud. Prior research have addressed the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 20 Dec 2014 · 9,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIDENTIFICATION OF PERIODIC AUTOREGRESSIVE MOVING-AVERAGE TIME SERIES MODELS WITH RHazem I. El Shekh Ahmed, Raid B. Salha, Diab I. AL-AwarPeriodic autoregressive moving average PARMA process extend the classical autoregressive moving average ARMA process by allowing the parameters to vary with seasons. Model identification is the identification of a possible model based on an available realization, i.e., determining the type of the model with appropriate orders. The Periodic Autocorrelation Function (PeACF) and the Periodic Partial Autocorrelation Function (PePACF) serve as … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2014 · 12,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA BIVARIATE PROBABILITY MODEL TO IDENTIFY "HONESTY" VERSUS "CHEATING" IN ECONOMIC SURVEYS: XENOPHOBIA IS ILLUSTRATEDRamalingam ShanmugamMaking successful policies for manufacturing or globalized business sectors require "honest" answers by the respondents in the surveys. When some respondents cheat in their answers to the questions in a survey for a variety of reasons, the survey results become useless. Currently, there is no appropriate probability model to address this phenomenon "cheating" in a survey. An efficient methodology is … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 18 Jun 2014 · 6,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRAFFIC CONTROLLED-DEDICATED SHORT RANGE COMMUNICATION: A SECURE COMMUNICATION USING TRAFFIC CONTROLLED DEDICATED SHORT RANGE COMMUNICATION MODEL IN VEHICULAR AD HOC NETWORKS FOR SAFETY RELATED SERVICESK. Chandramohan, P. KamalakkannanTo increase the road safety and secure communication among the vehicles in the network environment, Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) is followed. Nowadays, research over DSRC is dramatically increased for enhancing the road safety applications. The main task of DSRC is to protect the vehicles by communicating the warning message regarding the vehicle changing conditions, traffic occurrence and dangers over … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2014 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMODEL BUILDING FOR AUTOCORRELATED PROCESS CONTROL: AN INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCEM. A. Djauhari, S. L. Lee, Z. IsmailWe show that many time series data are governed by Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) law. This motivates us to propose a procedure of time series model building for autocorrelated process control that might consist of two steps. First, we test whether the process data are governed by GBM law. If it is affirmative, the appropriate model is directly given by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 29 Mar 2014 · 6,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDYNAMIC ENERGY MODELING OF AN EXPERIMENTAL BUILDING EQUIPPED WITH AN UNDERFLOOR AIR DISTRIBUTION (UFAD) SYSTEMYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif MegriIn this study, experimental and simulation studies were performed in a building equipped with an UFAD system in order to investigate the applicability of a new approach designed for prediction of the energy consumption of a residential building with an UFAD system. In this approach, a zonal model, Pressurized zOnal Model with the Air diffuser (POMA), was coupled with a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 8,141 accessesView PDFCite
