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 · 7,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpiral Wound Reverse Osmosis Membranes for the Recovery of Phenol Compounds-Experimental and Parameter Estimation StudiesG. Srinivasan, S. Sundaramoorthy, D.V.R. MurthyProblem statement: Reverse osmosis is increasingly used as a separation technique in chemical and environmental engineering for the removal of organics and organic pollutants present in waste water. The removal of an organic compound, namely phenol, using a polyamide membrane was investigated in this study. Waste water containing phenol present a serious environmental problem and increasing attention is being given … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,304 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactor Analysis, Target Factor Testing and Model Designing of Aromatic Solvent Effect of the Formyl Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Chemical Shift in Para substituted BenzaldehydesGhazwan F. FadhilProblem statement: The variations of formyl proton Chemical Shifts (CS) of p-substituted benzaldehydes in aromatic solvents were investigated. The validity of several physical solvent and empirical solvent scales was examined. Also, to predict dipolarity-polarizability (π*) solvent scale for some aromatic solvents. Model designing was also achieved to rationalize the aromatic solvent effect on the formyl proton CS. Approach: The previously … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Calculating the Hougaard Measure of Skewness in a Nonlinear Regression Model with Two ParametersS. A. EL-ShehawyProblem statement: This study presented an alternative computational algorithm for determining the values of the Hougaard measure of skewness as a nonlinearity measure in a Nonlinear Regression model (NLR-model) with two parameters. Approach: These values indicated a degree of a nonlinear behavior in the estimator of the parameter in a NLR-model. Results: We applied the suggested algorithm on an example … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Stress Analysis of the Arterial Wall Utilizing Physiological Pressure WaveformsM.M. Khani, M. Tafazzoli-Shadpour, S. Delavarpour et al.Arterial diseases, promoted by alterations in arterial wall properties, are among the main causes of mortality. Mechanical stresses of the arterial wall caused by pulsatile luminal pressure define arterial function in normal and pathological conditions. This study aims to determine dynamic stress distribution in the arterial wall subjected to physiological pressure waveforms. Finite element models of a typical artery are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Permanent Deformation of Pavement's Unbounded Layers Based on Cyclic Triaxial TestsB. ŽlenderThis research presents an analytical model for determining permanent deformation of pavement's sub-grade and unbound granular base and sub-base material due to cyclic traffic loading. The model is given for interpreting results of repeated load triaxial tests. It considers long term elastoplastic behavior and resilient behavior of sub-grade and unbound granular material. Permanent deformations are expressed as a function of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Thermal Explosion of Sensitized Reaction with Variable Heat LossK.S. Adegbie, F.I. AlaoThis study discusses the influence of heat loss on the critical ignition temperature and Frank-Kamenetskii parameter of a non-linear ordinary differential equation arising in thermal sensitized reaction. The reaction obeys the Arrhenius expression with temperature dependent pre-exponential factor, taking heat exchange between the reacting material and its surrounding into account. The consequences of heat loss are explored within the framework … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 6,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeural Networks for Interferences Suppression in DS/CDMA with Rayleigh Fading Channel and Power Control ErrorY. Jabrane, R. Iqdour, B. Ait Essaid et al.The exponential chip weighting waveforms have been designed with the purpose of multiple access interferences (MAI) rejection based on the concept that the optimum despreading sequence in reference emphasizes the transitions in the received spreading signal of interest. The despreading sequence weighted by exponential chip waveforms was determined by only one parameter. The objective of this study, was to introduce … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,382 accessesView PDFCite
