Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Family Size on Savings and Consumption Expenditure of Industrial Workers: A Cross-Sectional StudyTanvi Kiran, Shivam DhawanThe present study investigated and analysed the impact of family size on monthly savings and consumption expenditure of the industrial workers. The results showed that with increasing household size, savings not only dwindled in absolute terms but also in relative terms as witnessed by decreasing saving to income ratios. Conversely, the consumption to income ratios witnessed an increasing pattern, which … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 26 Nov 2015 · 12,717 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDigital High-Pass Filters with Milder High-Pass Effect on Digital ImagesIssa A. Al-ShakhrahImage filtering consists of modifying the original image by logically "reimaging" it with a mathematical imaging device in which spatial response can be controlled by the user. Image filtering is performed by a mathematical operation called convolution, which is simply the successive replacement of each point in the original image by a new value produced by a weighted combination of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 11 Jun 2015 · 7,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Platelet Rich Plasma on Post Cryopreservation Viability, Morphology and Proliferation of Human Umbilical Cord Stem CellsNoviyanti Goei, Isabella Kurnia Liem, Jeanne Adiwinata Pawitan, Dian MedianaIn most cryopreservation medium, Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is used as supplement, while it is well known that FBS contains xenoproteins that can be incorporated into the cells and may be harmfull, as they can elicit immune response. Therefore, finding other xenofree materials as FBS alternative in cryopreservation medium is very important. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is albumin rich and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2015 · 7,386 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF RUBBERIZED GYPSUM BOARDTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie Fini, Ashraf FadielThe disposal of scrap tires is a challenging task and hence an innovative solution to meet these challenges is needed. Extensive work has been done on the utilization of waste tires in a variety of applications in asphalt pavements and concrete. However, previous investigations focus only on the mechanical properties of the rubberized materials, but few on the thermal performance. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 8,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUSE OF CRUMB RUBBER TO IMPROVE THERMAL EFFICIENCY OF CEMENT-BASED MATERIALSAshraf Fadiel, Fouad Al Rifaie, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie FiniMotivated by the tremendous trend toward green environment and to reduce the effect of scrap tires on the environment and human health, this research is an attempt to find a practical and environmentally sound solution of the problem of scrap tires by developing a light weight with low thermal conductivity composite construction materials using waste tires. A few literatures may … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 12,197 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModification of Carbon Steel by Laser Surface Melting: Part I: Effect of Laser Beam Travelling Speed on Microstructural Features and Surface HardnessHashem F. El-Labban, M. Abdelaziz, Essam R.I. MahmoudThe present study aims to improve the surface hardness of carbon steel by application of laser surface melting of effective conditions. The travelling speed of laser beam during this treatment is one of the important treatment conditions. This study aims to investigate the effect of laser surface melting with different beam speeds on macro and microstructure as well as the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Jan 2014 · 7,400 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA CASE FOR HYBRID INSTRUCTION ENCODING FOR REDUCING CODE SIZE IN EMBEDDED SYSTEM-ON-CHIPS BASED ON RISC PROCESSOR CORESGovindarajalu Bakthavatsalam, K. M. MehataEmbedded computing differs from general purpose computing in several aspects. In most embedded systems, size, cost and power consumption are more important than performance. In embedded System-on-Chips (SoC), memory is a scarce resource and it poses constraints on chip space, cost and power consumption. Whereas fixed instruction length feature of RISC architecture simplifies instruction decoding and pipeline implementation, its undesirable … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 23 Nov 2013 · 6,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParameter Estimation and Determination of Sample Size in Logistic RegressionAdeleke Kazeem Adedayo, Dawud Adebayo AgunbiadeThe determination of Sample-Size is often an important step in planning a statistical study and it is usually a difficult task. Among the important hurdles to be surpassed, one must obtain an estimate of one or more error variances and specify an effective sample size of importance. The study was carried out to check for the estimation of parameter and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 4 Feb 2013 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPublic Funding and Affordability of Substance Abuse Treatment ServicesRoberto A. Trevino, Alan J. RichardProblem statement: Substance abuse continues to cause significant personal, social and economic costs to the US economy. In order to decrease these costs, the goal of the US public health policy has been to increase access to drug treatment services by increasing their affordability. Government policy makers try to achieve such a goal by providing direct public funding to private … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2012 · 8,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Analysis of the Entropy and Transition Point Approach in Representing Index Terms of Literary TextHayati Abd Rahman, Shahrul Azman NoahProblem statement: Concept hierarchy is a hierarchically organized collection of domain concepts. It is particularly useful in many applications such as information retrieval, document browsing and document classification. Approach: One of the important tasks in construction of concept hierarchy is identification of suitable terms with appropriate size of domain vocabulary. Results: One way of achieving such a size is by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 30 Jun 2011 · 6,676 accessesView PDFCite
