Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPressure Ulcer Prevention: Optimizing a Temporally Redistributing Support InterfaceJoshua M. Peterson, Colleen P. Healey, G. Jacobus Visser et al.One of the most common complications from long-term wheelchair use or bed rest is pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers have significant morbidity and are associated with high mortality. Prolonged sitting can cause high pressures in the skin and subcutaneous tissue which can lead to local ischemia and breakdown of skin. Rapid relief of pressure prevents ulcer formation. One prevention strategy is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2016 · 7,906 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBarriers to Research Utilization among Registered Nurses at Hamad Medical CorporationAbdulqadir J. Nashwan, Ahmad A. Abujaber, Dana B. MansourThis study aimed to determine the barriers to research utilization from HMC registered nurses' perspectives. This quantitative descriptive study used a newly developed 25-item questionnaire. The questions were categorized into three domains: Nurse-related, System-related and Research-related Barriers. The questionnaire was distributed electronically via e-mail service to all registered nurses in Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) (N = 5000). About 901 responses … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 1 Dec 2016 · 8,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA COMBINTORIAL TREE BASED FREQUENT PATTERN MININGN. Yamuna Devi, J. Devi ShreeFrequent pattern mining is a process of extracting frequently occurring itemset patterns from very large data storages. These frequent patterns are used to generate association rules which define the relationship among items. The strength of the relationship can be measured using two different units namely support value and confidence level. Any relationship that satisfies minimum threshold of support value is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 23 Jun 2014 · 6,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDAILY CRUDE OIL PRICE FORECASTING MODEL USING ARIMA, GENERALIZED AUTOREGRESSIVE CONDITIONAL HETEROSCEDASTIC AND SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINESRana Abdullah Ahmed, Ani Bin ShabriCrude oil price forecasting is gaining increased interest globally. This interest is due mainly to the economic value attached to the product. For this reason, new forecasting methods are proposed in the literature. This paper proposes a novel technique for forecasting crude oil price based on Support Vector Machines (SVM). The study adopts the data on crude oil price of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 11 Jan 2014 · 8,734 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Modeled K-Cluster Quality Mining of Hidden Knowledge for Decision SupportS. Parkash Kumar, K. S. RamaswamiProblem statement: The work presented Fuzzy Modeled K-means Cluster Quality Mining of hidden knowledge for Decision Support. Based on the number of clusters, number of objects in each cluster and its cohesiveness, precision and recall values, the cluster quality metrics is measured. The fuzzy k-means is adapted approach by using heuristic method which iterates the cluster to form an efficient … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 24 Aug 2011 · 6,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMoisture Content Prediction of Dried Longan Aril from Dielectric Constant Using Multilayer Perceptrons and Support Vector RegressionSanong Amaroek, Nipon Theera-Umpon, Kittichai Wantanajittikul, Sansanee AuephanwiriyakulProblem statement: Estimation of moisture contents of dried food products from their dielectric constants was an important step in moisture measurement systems. The regression models that provide good prediction performance are desirable. Approach: The Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) were applied in this research to predict the moisture contents of dried longan arils from their dielectric constants. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,668 accessesView PDFCite
