Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling the Distribution of Rainfall Intensity using Hourly DataSalisu Dan'azumi, Supiah Shamsudin, Azmi ArisProblem statement: Design of storm water best management practices to control runoff and water pollution can be achieved if a prior knowledge of the distribution of rainfall characteristics is known. Rainfall intensity, particularly in tropical climate, plays a major role in the design of runoff conveyance and erosion control systems. This study is aimed to explore the statistical distribution of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Theory of the Risks of Venture Capital FinancingEdmund H. MantellProblem statement: There is no general theory analyzing how the time-varying cash flows of venture capitalist financing affect the likelihood of success of a new venture. This research addressed that lacuna in the literature. Approach: Research in the area of venture capital financing was needed because of the importance of new ventures as germinators of technological innovation. The research in … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProbabilistic Empirical Green's Function Method in Ground Motion SimulationEhsan Khojastehfar, Amir Saedi Daryan, Mohammad Amin AssarehProblem statement: The Empirical Green's Function method is used to synthesize strong ground motion time histories.In previous simulation processes parameters were taken deterministically. Approach: In this study, the probabilistic consideration for some of these parameters was inserted to the process. For implementing this method a computer program was developed in GIS. GIS abilities for storing and processing geographic data is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,651 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsReed Solomon Coding for Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum in Jamming EnvironmentOthman Sidek, Abid YahyaFrequency hopping spread spectrum with noncoherent M-ary frequency shift keying system is considered. In this study Reed Solomon codes RS (255, 223) are employed in a standard error correction role to provide some Anti-Jamming (AJ) capability with 8-bit symbols. Noise has been added to RS encoded data, which is demodulated at RS decoder perfectly. Matlab simulations have been implemented for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDeciding Whether There is Statistical Independence or Not?Ramzi NasserThe study investigated how students assess statistical independence (SI). A sample of 98 students was available to the researcher. One group was probed on their understanding of statistical independence, a second group was given a proficiency test and a third group was presented a proof for statistical Independence. Interview data from the first two groups exposed student misconception on their … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStop Conditions Of BB84 Protocol Via A Depolarizing Channel (Quantum Cryptography)Iyed Ben Slimen, Olfa Trabelsi, Houria Rezig et al.BB84 (Bennett and Brassard 1984) is one of the well known protocols of quantum keys distribution. It is built to allow two interlocutors commonly called Alice and Bob to share two similar binary keys and to detect the eavesdropper presence (the eavesdropper is commonly called Eve). However, Eve presence in a disturbed environment causes errors to the sifted keys and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPerformance Analysis of Call Admission Control in WCDMA Systems with Mobility based Interference Margin ReservationS. Malarkkan, V. C. RavichandranThis study presents performance of call admission control and resource reservation schemes based on the mobility of the users in WCDMA cellular systems. In order to guarantee the handoff dropping probability, the mobility of the user is predicted based on a realistic mobility model. The mobility prediction scheme used in this study is used to estimate the set of candidate … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNumerical Ultimate Ruin Probabilities under Interest ForceJuma Kasozi, Jostein PaulsenThis work addresses the issue of ruin of an insurer whose portfolio is exposed to insurance risk arising from the classical surplus process. Availability of a positive interest rate in the financial world forces the insurer to invest into a risk free asset. We derive a linear Volterra integral equation of the second kind and apply an order four Block-by-block … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImproved Performance of Traffic Dependent Outage Rate Cellular SystemHussein M.A. Basi, M. B.R. MurthyThe designers of a mobile cellular system must evaluate the possible configurations of the system components and their characteristics in order to develop a system with greater efficiency. The useful parameters to estimate performances of the system are voice quality, frequency spectrum efficiency and grade of service (GOS). In this study, a scheme proposed to reduce the lost calls and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,812 accessesView PDFCite
