Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPeriodicity of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in a Mathematical Model that Incorporates ComplacencyFlugentius Baryarama, Livingstone S. Luboobi, Joseph Y.T. MugishaAn HIV/AIDS model incorporating complacency for the adult population is formulated. Complacency is assumed a function of the number of AIDS cases in a community with an inverse relation. A method to find the equilibrium state of the model is given by proving a stated theorem. An example to illustrate the application of the theorem is also given. Model analysis … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,634 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonetary Policy in a Markov-Switching VECM: Implications for the Cost of Disinflation in GhanaRichard Kwabi Ayisi, Joseph AduMonetary policy assessment in Ghana has been conducted using vector auto-regression. This however, presumes stability of long run outcomes and particularly ignores monetary policy regime changes that has characterized the economy overtime. This study thus introduced the possibility of switches in the long run equilibrium in co-integrated vector auto-regression by allowing both the covariance and weighting matrix in the error-correction … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 Mar 2017 · 8,553 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAn Opportunity for the Agricultural Sector: The Renewable Energy SourcesRiccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaToday, among the most important issue for energy decisions by policymakers, there are security challenges and environmental impacts on climate change and economic aspects. Since the seventies, in fact, global warming and environmental issues have had an increasing importance in international debate, attracting the attention of several scientific studies (Landi and Benelli, 2016). Many of these studies denoted that over … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2016 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDirect Shocks in Vibrationally Nonequilibrium Diatomic Gases at Various Distances from Critical Cross-Section of NozzleRydalevskaya Maria Alexandrovna, Voroshilova Yulia Nikolaevna, Uskov Vladimir NikolaevichThe high-temperature diatomic gas flows are considered in expanding nozzles under the conditions of a disturbance of the equilibrium distribution over vibrational levels of the molecules. The investigation of such flows is bound up with the problem of the inversion of the vibrational populations in the active mediums of molecular lasers. Under diverse values of the pressure overfall on coming … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 7 Jan 2015 · 6,655 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Hydrogen Addition on Diesel Engine Operation and NOx Emission: A Thermodynamic StudyPrateep Chaisermtawan, Sathaporn Chuepeng, Sompop JarungthammachoteProblem statement: The worldwide increasing energy demand and the environmental problem due to greenhouse gas emission, especially produced from fossil fuel combustion, have promoted research work to solve these crises. Diesel engine has proven to be one of the most effective energy conversion systems. It is widely used for power generation, land vehicles and marine power plant. To reduce diesel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 4 Aug 2012 · 7,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Stability and Bifurcation of Solutions of Nonlinear System of Differential Equations for AIDS DiseaseS. A.A. El-MaroufProblem statement: This study aims to discuss the stability and bifurcation of a system of ordinary differential equations expressing a general nonlinear model of HIV/AIDS which has great interests from scientists and researchers on mathematics, biology, medicine and education. The existance of equilibrium points and their local stability are studied for HIV/AIDS model with two forms of the incidence rates. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 24 Apr 2012 · 7,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental and Skeletal Kinetic Model Study of Compressed Natural Gas Fueled Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition EngineP. M. Diaz, B. Durga Prasad, D.S. Manoj Abraham, K. PalaniKumarProblem statement: In homogeneous charge compression ignition engines fuel oxidation chemistry determines the auto-ignition timing, heat release, reaction intermediates and the ultimate products of combustion. To shorten development time and to understand combustion processes, the use of simulation is increasing. Approach: A model that correctly simulates fuel oxidation at these conditions would be a useful design tool. Detailed models of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 22 Mar 2012 · 7,258 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy and Identification of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Gene Polymorphisms in Zel Sheep PopulationSeyed Mohsen Kazemi, Cyrus Amirinia, Hossein Emrani, Shahaboddin GharahveysiProblem statement: The IGFs play an important role in regulating somatic growth according to nutritional conditions. Polymorphisms of IGF gene are reported to be significantly associated with many traits. Approach: In these study 142 samples of DNA from Zel sheep were used for detecting the polymorphisms of promoter region of the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) gene. Therefore DNA extracted from … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 13 Jan 2012 · 7,745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Initio Theoretical Study for the Electronic Spectra of β-ThioxoketonesRita S. Elias, Bahjat A. Saeed, Dhiyaa K. MuslemProblem statement: β-thioxoketones exist as equilibrium mixtures of the tautomeric enol and enethiol forms which interconvert very rapidly by intramolecular chelate proton transfer. Accordingly their electronic spectra in the u.v.-visible region exhibit absorption bands arising from transitions within the electronic systems involved in these tautomers. Approach: The structures of several β-thioxoketones were geometrically optimized using B3LYP/cc-pVTZ, B3LYP/6-311++G (2d,p), PM2/6-311++G(2d,p) and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2011 · 7,858 accessesView PDFCite
