Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Models for Reconstruction of Rainfall Fields in a Cloud Seeding ExperimentSujit k. sahu, Giovanna Jona Lasinio, Arianna orasi, Kanti V. MardiaIn response to the drought experienced in Southern Italy a rain seeding project has been setup and developed during the years 1989-1994. The initiative was taken with the purpose of applying existing methods of rain enhancement technology to regions of south Italy including Puglia. The aim of this study is to provide statistical support for the evaluation of the experimental … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of the Chi-square Test to Determine Significance of Cumulative Antibiogram DataRocco J. Perla, James CarifioAn important function of a hospital’s Infectious Disease and Pharmacy programs is to review and compare the most recent antibiogram with that of the previous year to determine if significant changes in antibiotic susceptibility results are noted and to communicate this information and its consequences to the medical staff. However, there are currently no formal analytical (decision-making) models in use … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,279 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Performance of a Solar Heat Storage Accumulator Used For Greenhouses ConditioningMejdi Hazami, Sami Kooli, Meriam Lazaar et al.The use of solar energy for greenhouse heating has gained an increasing acceptance during the last years. Active solar systems applied to greenhouses can supply a significant part of the heating requirements. However, there are some problems related to the cost of the heat collection unit and the heat storage methods. In this context several techniques were born. The most … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,037 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesigning and Building an Automatic Information Retrieval System for Handling the Arabic DataIbrahiem M.M. El Emary, Ja'far AtwanThis paper aimed to design and build an Automatic Information Retrieval System to handle the Arabic data. Also, this paper presents some type of comparison between the retrieval results using the vector space model in two different indexing methods: the full-ward indexing and the root indexing. The proposed Automatic Information Retrieval system was implemented and built using a traditional model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTest of a Data Basis Oriented Object after Phase of ConceptionSoumia Layachi, M. T. LaskriThe concepts of the approach object introduce cause a lot of interest and make a large topic of survey of it. These concepts applied to the data base are going to allow us to master the complexity of the data base and facilitate us their reuse. If one considers the conception of a data basis oriented object a lot of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPattern Classification: An Improvement Using Combination of VQ and PCA Based TechniquesAlok Sharma, Kuldip K. Paliwal, Godfrey C. OnwuboluThis study firstly presents a survey on basic classifiers namely Minimum Distance Classifier (MDC), Vector Quantization (VQ), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Nearest Neighbor (NN) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). Then Vector Quantized Principal Component Analysis (VQPCA) which is generally used for representation purposes is considered for performing classification tasks. Some classifiers achieve high classification accuracy but their data storage requirement and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Model for Multi-agent Case-base Reasoning SystemsAbdel Badeea Salem, Aldahoud Ali, Ibrahiem M. M. El EmaryMulti-Agent Systems (MASs) and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) are two recent and hot paradigms in artificial intelligence field. CBR is a reasoning methodology based on old experience reasoning or similarity-based reasoning while MAS is a new paradigm to organize AI applications. CBR offers multi-agent systems the capability of autonomously learning from experience. This study examines the integration of CBR, MASs and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 19 Oct 2005 · 5,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEclecticism Beyond Orthodoxies: African Social Science Research in the Fight Against HIV/AIDSAmbe-Uva T. NomThis study examines the importance of social science research on HIV/AIDS in Africa. There is a dearth of social science research on HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa as available literature focus essentially on biomedical and epidemiological aspect of HIV/AIDS research and behavioral changes. In Africa however, efforts at preventing and mitigating the impact of HIV/AIDS epidemic will have to consider the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,970 accessesView PDFCite
