Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsReal Option Method and Escalation of Commitment in the Evaluation of Investment ProjectsMehrdad Karami, Farshid Ahmadi FarsaniProblem statement: This study applies an experimental method to find out whether using the real option method along with the discounted cash flow techniques can reduce the decision-makers’ Escalation of Commitment (EC hereafter) or their desire to keep up their commitment to a failed project. Approach: The real option method used for the evaluation of long-term projects also measures the … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2011 · 7,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDistribution of Records Defined on Ordered Words Representing Lattice PathsA. M. Alahmadi, E. A. MahmoudProblem statement: Let the sequence i1,i2,…,in, denoted by Snn be an increasing ordered word of length n taken from the set of the n positive integers S= {1,2,…,n}, m, n ∈N+, m≥n.. Approach: That is 1≤i1≤i2≤…≤in≤n. Treating Snn as a sequence of weak records {Lj = ij}, i, j = 1,2,…,n, the distribution of the single weak record as well … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsWeighted Kernel Density Estimation of the Prepulse Inhibition TestHongbo Zhou, Qiang Cheng, Hong-Ju Yang, Haiyun XuProblem statement: The goal of this study was to devise a more reliable and sensitive method for analysis of experimental data of the Prepulse Inhibition (PPI), the reduction in startle reaction towards a startle-eliciting “pulse” stimulus when it is shortly preceded by a sub-threshold “prepulse” stimulus. Approach: Different from the conventional simple averaging-based method, we proposed a probabilistic approach to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,222 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMeta Heuristic Algorithms for Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic DemandsGeetha Shanmugam, Poonthalir Ganesan, Dr. P.T. VanathiProblem statement: The shipment of goods from manufacturer to the consumer is a focal point of distribution logistics. In reality, the demand of consumers is not known a priori. This kind of distribution is dealt by Stochastic Vehicle Routing Problem (SVRP) which is a NP-hard problem. In this proposed work, VRP with stochastic demand is considered. A probability distribution is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 8,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimization Techniques for Variable Selection in Binary Logistic Regression Model Applied to Desire for Children DataS. K. Sarkar, Habshah MidiProblem statement: The population problem is the biggest problem in the world. In the global and regional context, Bangladesh population has drawn considerable attention of the social scientists, policy makers and international organizations. Bangladesh is now world’s 10th populous country having about 140 million people. The recent experience of Bangladesh shows that fertility can sustain impressive declines even when women’s … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstimating Soil Contamination with Kriging Interpolation MethodFatima Zohra Benmostefa LarguecheThe main objective of this study was to investigate whether Kriging is a useful tool to estimate the spatial distribution of ground pollutants in contaminated land. The second objective of this work was a more practical one. It consists on the identification of areas that should be subjected to remedial actions and also on deciding which contaminant needs to be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 8,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Note towards Reshaping Java's FeaturesN. S. Kutti, Z. A. Al-Khanjari, H. A. Ramadhan, J. FiaidhiProgramming Languages continually go through the refinement process due to several findings such as lack of robustness, lack of flexibility, lack of simplicity and lack of standard. This may require pruning undesirable features, sometimes softening of hard nature of some features and adding new features to improve the scope of the languages. Recently Java has emerged as a refined language … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 30 Dec 2005 · 6,496 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRevisiting Share Market Efficiency: Evidence from the New Zealand Australia, US and Japan Stock IndicesChristopher Gan, Minsoo Lee, Au Yong Hue Hwa, Jun ZhangThis study aims to re-examine the market efficiencies in New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZSE) and Australia Stock Exchange (ASX) stock indices to investigate whether Groenewold’s[1] findings still hold in the period after the financial liberalization (January 1990-January 2003). In addition, the study also examines whether the larger US NYSE and Japanese NIKKEI stock indices have any influence on the NZSE … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,966 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Effects of the Addition of Salt, Type of Additive and the Shelf Life, on Chemical Composition of Pennisetum purpureum (Schumach) (Maralfalfa) Silages in NigerMaman Lawal Abdoul Aziz, Seydou Korombé Hamza, Djibo Ibrahim et al.Seasonal variations in the quantity and quality of fodder constitute an obstacle to the development of ruminant breeding in Niger. This is why this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of salt addition, shelf life, and type of additive on the chemical composition of Pennisetum purpureum Schumach (Maralfalfa) silages. These aspects were retained because salt, in addition to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2024 · 4,720 accessesView PDFCite
