Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA MIXTURE DROPOUT MECHANISM IN A LONGITUDINAL STUDY WITH TWO TIME POINTS: A METHADONE STUDYZohreh Toghrayee, Parvin Jalili, Heng Chin Low, Ardavan TaghvaOne of the most important issues that confront statisticians in longitudinal studies is dropouts. A variety of reasons may lead to withdrawal from a study and produce two different missingness mechanisms, namely, missing at random and non-ignorable dropouts. Nevertheless, none of these mechanisms is tenable in most studies. In addition, it may be that not all of dropouts are nonignorable. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 26 Apr 2014 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF IMAGE SECURITY BASED ON ENCRYPTED HYBRID COMPRESSIOND. Ramkumar, I. Jacob RaglendIn this research, we propose an image security scheme using hybrid compression techniques. In this scheme, the data is being provided two-fold security by both encryption stage and hiding stage. The data/message which has to be secured undergoes encryption technique at the initial stage. In this stage, the permutation algorithm is employed which requires a pair of numbers as a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 26 Apr 2014 · 6,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUSE OF SALINE WATER FOR GREENHOUSE BELL PEPPER (CAPSICUM ANNUUM) PRODUCTIONV. C. Patil, K. A. Al-Gaadi, M. A. Wahb-Allah et al.A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the response of bell pepper to quality of irrigation water and irrigation regimes. The main treatments included non-saline water (EC-0.5 dS m-1) and saline water (EC-3.5 dS m-1). The sub-treatments included three irrigation regimes (at 100, 80 and 60% of crop Evapotranspiration (ETc)) in combination with three crop growth stages (vegetative, flowering to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 1 Feb 2014 · 8,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTWO PHASE CLUSTERING METHOD FOR LEACH PROTOCOL FOR EFFECTIVE CLUSTER HEAD SELECTIONRathi, ViswanathanA Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) comprise of a huge quantity of clusters of sensor nodes that can inter communicate with all nodes and with the base station through a wireless link. All clusters are corresponding to a cluster head to provide a direct communication to the base station and in addition with other cluster heads. Obviously well-organized selection of cluster … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 21 Nov 2013 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Optimized Device Sizing of Analog Circuits using Particle Swarm OptimizationP. Prem Kumar, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: Day by day more and more products rely on analog circuits to improve the speed and reduce the power consumption(Products rely on analog circuits to improve the speed and reduce the power consumption day by day more and more.). For the VLSI implementation analog circuit design plays an important role. This analog circuit synthesis might be the most … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 19 Mar 2012 · 7,769 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of the Ceres-Wheat for Prediction of Wheat Varieties in Irrigation and Terminal Drought StressFarzad Paknejad, Fatemeh Majidi Fakhr, Seied Mehdi MirtaheriProblem statement: Crop growth models have many potential uses for crop managements. Approach: In order to evaluation of CERES-Wheat model on five varieties of winter wheat in Karaj weather condition in Full Irrigation (FI) and Stop Irrigation (SI) after flowering until final growth stage an experiment conducted in shape of split plot in based on randomize complete block design with … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 16 Mar 2012 · 7,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractZero Geometry, Zero Space Time, The Seeds of The Final TheoryKambiz-AfrasiabiProblem statement: Lack of understanding And scientific formulation of zero geometry and zero space-time and the truth about initiation conditions would continue to keep us all in dark and we would continue to create more theories defining our observations about the known universe which could Indeed be part of our illusionary perception of reality And as long as they continue … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCatch Composition of Tsetse Flies (Glossina: Glossinidae)K.E. Okoh, I.S. Ndams, E. Kogi, C.G. VajimeProblem statement: A study to determine the composition of tsetse flies species was conducted between January and December, 2007 in Kamuku National Park, Nigeria, using Biconical and Nitse traps. Tsetse flies were trapped along gallery forest in five streams for two trapping days and were collected daily. Approach: All tsetse flies caught were identified to species level, sexed, separated into … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 23 Sep 2011 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Boundary Detection of Wall Motion in Two-dimensional Echocardiography ImagesFaten Abed Ali Dawood, Rahmita Wirza Rahmat, Mohd Zamrin Dimon et al.Problem statement: Medical image analysis is a particularly difficult problem because the inherent characteristics of these images, including low contrast, speckle noise, signal dropouts and complex anatomical structures. An accurate analysis of wall motion in Two-dimensional echocardiography images is “important clinical diagnosis parameter for many cardiovascular diseases”. A challenge most researchers faced is how to speed up the clinical decisions … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 8,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorn (Zea Mays L.) Plant Characteristics and Grain Yield Response to N Fertilization Programs in No-Tillage SystemKesi Liu, Pawel WiatrakProblem statement: Nitrogen application timing and Nitrogen (N) rate are two important factors to influence corn production in No-Tillage (NT) system, but N recommendations may need to be revised due to insufficient rainfall in dryland rain-fed environment. Approach: This study was to determine the effects of two N application timing (planting and split application at planting and V6 corn growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2011 · 8,340 accessesView PDFCite
