Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractZero Inflated Poisson and Geographically Weighted Zero- Inflated Poisson Regression Model: Application to Elephantiasis (Filariasis) Counts DataPurhadi, Yuliani Setia Dewi, Luthfatul AmalianaPoisson regression has been widely used for modeling counts data. Violation of equidispersion assumption can occur when there are excess of zeros of the data. For that condition we can use Zero-Inflated Poisson (ZIP) to analyze such data, resulting global parameter estimates. However spatial data from various locations have their own characteristics depend on their socio-cultural, geographical and economic conditions. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 29 Sep 2015 · 8,330 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval of Copper from Aqueous Solution using Tunisian ClayN. Boujelben, S. Gharab, F. Bouhamed et al.Natural adsorbents such as clay was used to replace expensive imported synthetic adsorbents. In this study, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to characterize the used sorbent (clays C). Batch experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of contact time, solution pH and temperature on copper removal onto used sorbent from aqueous solution. Equilibrium … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2015 · 7,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Au/n-Ti2S/p-Si/Al Schottky-Type Thin Film Heterojunction Solar Cells: Computer Simulation ModelingAli IbrahimThe Au/n-Ti2S/p-Si/Al heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer solar cells were analyzed by AFORS-HET software program. Thickness of the emitter intrinsic layer and the interface state density of such cells were studied. In which, the intrinsic layer inserted between the Ti2S and crystalline p-type silicon substrate, reduce the interface state density. The thinner intrinsic layer is better than thicker one, when the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 3 Jun 2015 · 6,284 accessesView PDFCite
